Went there once and never went back. I can’t enjoy my food knowing it was so expensive for fast food. You can get a steak dinner at Texas Roadhouse instead.
I never visited America. Could you describe in vivid detail to me what is the Texas Roadhouse experience like?
I used to think that Five Guys in my country had awful prices because of some weird franchising agreement. Seems I’m wrong
$78 would only feed 2 people
The Wendy’s, McDonalds, and Hardees In my town are all closed or closing soon. They’ve priced their garbage quality food right out of what the people that would go there can afford. Good riddance. My only sympathy is for the folks losing a job, but working Fast food suuuuucks. I hope those folks find something better.
It wasn’t bad when it was a 5 dollar burger.
Now it’s not even $5 fries
It’s not bad food, but it’s definitely not worth the money.
Go to McDonald’s if you want to spend $60 for shit. At least 5 Guys is still good
5 guys is ok
Compared to chains? I’d say it’s generally quite good
It’s also not very good. I don’t get why some people rave about it. Local places are usually much, much better.
Meanwhile i grabbed potato buns and beef and made myself a bunch of smash burgers that would put five guys to shame. Only cost like $10
Wanna know why it’s called Five Guys?
Because it takes the salary of five people to pay for one meal.
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.
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.
Guess you only got a family of 3.
But they give you so many fries!
Should be called Fries Guys
It varies by location. The one near my house can hardly be bothered to fill the cup. One like an hour away I used to go to for work fills half the freaking bag.
Putting fries in paper cups is a stupid idea to begin with.
Not at any of the ones I’ve been to :( It’s more than McDonald’s but it’s never been a problem to finish them.
Their hotdogs are almost the same price.
I’m so glad I stopped eating fast food about 15 years ago when I knew it was terrible for me and made me feel like crap afterward. Watching everyone freak out about their exorbitant prices today just makes me feel very satisfied in my decision.
Same here. I stopped eating meat back in the mid 00’s too, so there’s rarely any reason for me to want fast food anyway.
Five Guys had crazy prices from the start and it marketed itself as NOT being fast food.
And it always sucked. Premium prices on garbage food.
Im gonna stop you there, it’s expensive AF but they are one of the best fast food burgers you can get.
All fast food burgers suck so “the best fast food burger” is a very low bar…especially when they’re charging restaurant prices…and they’re not all that fast at making it. 50% higher cost for a 10% better burger, I’ll pass.
It’s worse than a cheaper burger from a non-chain restaurant. And it’s WAY worse than a comparably-priced one.
I would rather eat a Five Guys burger than most if not any non-chain restaurant burgers as well. They are pretty topnotch. I honestly can’t think of a better burger that isn’t homemade.
Man, I feel sorry for the food situation out there then! I’ve never lived far from delicious restaurants.
Ive got plenty of delicious restaurants around haha. I’ve never been that impressed with a restaurant burger though, TBH. And seriously, FG burgers are damn good. Char grilled high quality beef made to order. What’s not to like? You’re acting like it’s McDonald’s quality. Can you show me an example that beats it?
In the “fast food” category specifically? I think Culvers and Sonic are both better but I don’t really eat red meat much anymore.
