I like how people complain about the price but then order the double burger with extra large fries that are the weight of 4 large packs of mcdonald's fries and can feed 4 people. Which ends up being $20+
Don't get me wrong, it's still $14 for a normal sized burger and fries, which is still pretty expensive.
To be fair, the fries are generous and taste like real potatoes, and you get unlimited toppings on the burger with a much better and bigger patty than McDonald's. And it hits the spot better than McDonald's.
Still could be cheaper. But I guess it's supply and demand. Apparently people are willing to pay more for this.
Exactly. If I go to McDonald's, I'm dropping $10-$15 and I'm hungry again in a couple hours. 5 Guys I'll drop $20, but I'm getting a giant burger loaded with premium toppings, a mountain of fries, and peanuts to boot while I wait. I'm stuffed to the gills for the rest of the day, to say nothing of the much better taste of 5 Guys to most fast food places. Sure, it's not 5 star dining, but they're a formidable greasy spoon with a fast turn around and highly customizable experience. I think lots of people who balk at 5 Guys prices are burger, cheese, and maybe ketchup types in which case it's probably not worth it.
I agree 5 guys is better but dude, a double quarter pounder medium combo is $13 around here. If you're hungry again 2 hours after eating half a pound of beef and fries, what in the world are you ordering at 5 guys for $20?
