Looked at their prices in my area. Just the cheeseburger and order of fries shown above (no drink) comes to $15.05 at an outlying location - not in or anywhere near a big-city metropolitan area.

For folks who have plenty of disposable cash and don't care about blowing it - I get it. See it all the time.

For most everyone else, such as people still in debt with a big mortgage and car payment - are you nuts for spending that much for an above-average cheeseburger and fries? (I see that all the time, too, btw.)

[null and void]

It is above average. Not that far above average.

It’s either that or BK.

New Milford, and surrounding area, are hotbeds of American communists...

So, it’s not surprising that a Christian-based enterprise would not do enough business there...

In addition, its location sucked on the convenience attribute...

I remember working hard for $2.30/hour.

Older people like me are going to leave our wallets in our pockets.

If my bank is only paying 4% on a CD, you had better not raise your prices by more than 4%.

$1, $1.04. $1.08, $1.12, $1.16 - got it?

I’ve been to 3 different 5 guys burger places and all 3 the burgers were ok but nothing special IMO. WHATABURGER (Texas type) is a massively better burger. The fries at all 3 of the 5 guys were horrible !!! Soggy, dripping grease and just downright disgusting IMO. I could have squeezed the grease out of them.

I’m tired of corporations to jack up profits and the government to jack up taxes and the banks to jack up their profits. The consumer gets screwed ^3. Screw them all. I am to the point where we should all just stop. Stop everything for 6-12 months. Bring the GDP / GDI to a negative 6-12%. Jjust think if you added to savings by that amount. It would be great until you were an evil conservative that starved the economy of your savings.

The collapse is coming. The bill of rights are coming to become real. The real bill of rights.

That’s over $25 here in Reno.

I always thought that the name Five Guys sounded kind of gay.

[Robert DeLong]

I used to go to their original outlet in the Arlington Va. area. Father had five sons, and he said I can either send you all to college or I can start you out in business. They obviously chose the business, and their burgers were outstanding, even better than when they went to franchising. Something was lost in the franchising transition. No clue as to why that might be.

Here in Bellevue, Wa (just east of Seattle) a large Diet Pepsi is almost $4.00. Not that long ago it was $1.75.

Needless to say I’ve cut WAYYYY back.

[Bullish]

You can make a lot better one at home for half the price... Jus’ sayin’.

[Migraine]

Anybody familiar w/ SmashBurger? I really like ‘em.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

“too pricey for a regular visit.”

I ate at the Mountain View, CA Five Guys once about ten ago. “Pricey” didn’t begin to describe. I think it was something like $12 or $13 for a burger and fries even then. Never went back.

[joesbucks]

Decent burger, but they’ve always been on the expensive side. I stopped going a few years ago. B

[Deplorable American1776]

5 Guys is okay, however, I’d rather have a GOODY GOODY hamburger. GOODY GOODY is a burger joint in the Tampa. I also love DQ and Hardee’s, but you won’t see me at Checkers...

[roving]

How would you even taste the hamburger on that?

I went to Five Guys exactly once, just after they opened one in Prescott, AZ. Really expensive, the fries were lousy, and they screwed up my burger order. That was enough for me.

I can’t afford fast food very often. Culver’s or In-N-Out are my preferences when I do eat the stuff, but I’d rather fix a really good burger at home.
