    There’s a Five Guys in my city and whenever I’m reminded of it, I always wonder why I’ve never tried it before. Then I remember I always walk past it after seeing the prices on the menu.

      It is good, but not worth the money. They were reasonable back when they first opened in my area. Then it went about 2x the price in a year. And kept going up.

        That’s disappointing, in my area fast food didn’t really start skyrocketing in price until about 2019. But since then oh my God it is only gone up. My $12 meal without rewards has turned into a $19 meal with rewards which is ridiculous to me

        I haven’t gone to a fast food joint myself unless the family is also going since then cuz it’s not worth it

        Yep, when they had one near my office like 15 years ago, it was almost the same as McDonald’s and it was great…then prices have basically quadrupled and they’re not worth it at all anymore.

          I suspect they keep the prices low the first year or so to establish a customer base and then start raising them.
