Why is Five Guys so expensive?

What royalty is able to eat there? Their food is so good and I used to eat it with glee, but their prices seem to have doubled in the past five years!

We’re talking 20-25 bucks for a burger fries and drink. They also opened some stores in Australia where their food is even more expensive. Too bad it’s so good. There’s one in walking distance but I can’t afford to eat there!

I love their vinegar sauce for the fries… I wish they had ranch for the burgers

Everything they serve is incredible. Their burgers are to die for. I just wish a meal was 15 bucks like it was back in the day!

There’s a west coast chain called Habit burger that serves a huge incredible burger for 8 dollars, 12 for a meal. It’s almost as good. Unfortunately Habit only exists on the west coast. However it makes me question Five Guys’ prices a lot.

I’m pretty sure it’s gone up in the last 5 years because I used to eat there a lot and I don’t remember paying more than 15 at any one time.

Everything is more expensive now though like you said. I am just so sick of McDonald’s :pig: They are the only fast food place with good coupons on their app, but their food is like the lowest quality compared to other joints.

Yeah I haven’t eaten there lately, I’m sure that it’s more expensive now.

Before inflation hit us, years ago 2 bacon cheese burgers and fries cost around $25.00

My local McDonalds had mcdoubles for 2.39. A double cheeseburger, which is the same thing but with an extra slice of cheese, was 2.59. Then one day they changed the mcdouble to 2.59 and didn’t touch the double cheeseburger. So both sandwiches cost the same now! Even though one just has an extra slice of cheese. So now I get the double cheeseburger.

They also removed dollar drinks, it’s 1.39 now :cry:

Nice! What do you cook them on, a pan? I like the old George Foreman grills.

I use a grill that’s similar to the Forman grill but it doesn’t dry out the burgers like the George Foreman grill does

The McDonald’s phone app has really good daily coupons and is free. It also speeds things up cuz you tie your payment info into the app
