Almost every town has a local burger place that is better and cheaper. Here in Alex there are 4-5 places that have a better burger for less.

Hell Wendy’s is about the same quality, fries are superior at 5 guys, but I’m not a huge lover of fries

If I go there, I order a hot dog à la carte. They are very good.

Literally $25 for a cheeseburger, medium fries, and medium drink.


In BR, this order comes in under $19. Where are you that it costs $25?

And to the OP - is this a chain-wide change on the fries? One idiot manning the fry station? Just that particular franchise trying to cut costs?

Ohio

Cheeseburger $11.89
Regular fries $7.39
Regular drink $3.49

With tax it's $24, so not quite literally $25

Wow - I wasn't arguing, was just curious. It's a lot for a meal - when my family of 5 goes we usually split one large fry to keep the costs down a bit. But for one person that's a lot.

Probably been 10-12 yrs since I went to 5 guys.

then, the burgers were tasteless. if you're not gonna grill them, at least season and/or get a little crust on them. too bland. even with loads of toppings.

Not sure where you are, but a little bacon cheeseburger and little cajun fry last week cost me less than $14.

Myself, the wife and daughter went tour Loyola last week. We ate lunch at Desi Vega’s in Lakeview. That was a delicious burger.

You shouldn't be eating out if you have to do this

One large fry at Five Guys equals more than enough fries for all of us to eat. So instead of spending more money and wasting food, we choose to keep the cost down by paying for what we are going to eat.

Seems pretty sensible to me, but I am apparently not a frivolous person like you.

I like them okay but I’ve been moreso wanting grilled burgers over their steamed burger thing.
