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.
Interesting and very unfortunate. I loved Five Guys when I first visited the US and they opened one up in Australia and the prices are so high it's insulting and I've never been.
Sad to hear it's the same in the US now.
Yea this was maybe 17 years ago. I used to get it regularly, but I haven't had it in at least 10 years from the outrageous prices.
Yea I think I'm pushing 10 years as well now. It's good food...but it's still fast food burgers for premium restaurant cost. It's no longer worth it, hell my local burger places which are actual restaurants with waiters are usually cheaper by $10 or more for the wife and I and that's with a 25% tip. How 5 guys is still open amazes me.
