14 dollars for a burger and fries, no drink, at a place where you bus the tables yourself. I feel legitimately bad for mentally incompetent people like you.

>>9728723
b-but muh free peanuts!

>>9728708
>not getting extra cheese

you fucked up

>>9728723
fpbp
>>9728736
that will be 2.99

>>9728723
Not only is the price fucked, I've never had a burger from five gays ride well.
It's like a guaranteed stomach ache for me. Shit tier place. Only thing worth eating is the peanuts.

fucking five guys. I hope those greedy bastards go out of business

>>9728708
>1 cheeseburger is $9
>at a fast food joint
Fuck man you coulda went to wendys and got an entire baconator meal for less than you paid for that single burger.
5 guys is such a rip off.

>>9728739
Extra cheese is free, just like the rest of their toppings. It's just not on the menu

>>9728708
This place was ok back when they were expanding and trying to capture market share with competitive pricing. I used to be able to take a girl to five guys, get two burgers and a fry and two drinks and be out the door for 15 to 20 bucks depending on whether the girl got a single or double and whether she got water or not. These days that's just the price of admission for a single person. Its not like any of their ingredients got twice as expensive in the last 5 years. They finished grabbing market share and they don't need new customers anymore. They just need the dumb fatties that will keep forking over way too much money for a half decent burger. At that price point I could name 20 other hipster burger shops in Atlanta that do just as well if not better. Fuck, H&F Burgers at SunTrust Park at 14 for a burger and fries... You fuck ups are paying ball park pricing with no game or captured market/audience. That's just fucking stupid.

Used to work at a 5gays, and it is so fucking overpriced but the shit is always fresh. The secret though? Our fucking buns. Those things are like cake and are just delicious on their own.

ama I guess

>>9728762
this

Maybe if you took like 20 packs of peanuts.

>>9728787
The buns on a burger are more important than the meat imo, and Five Guys has the best.

>>9728787
Shut up. No one cares. Go fuck yourself with a barbed wire wrapped baseball bat and then go to bed.

>>9728815
t. I can only afford In N Out so I line up around the block with all the spics and other human garbage and pretend it's good

>>9728815
>>>/r9k/

This is a food board, go back to where you came

At that price you should just go to a real restaurant. Five Guys is good but they priced themselves out of their own market.

>>9728708
>$9 for a cheeseburge
Five Guys deserves to go out of business.

I’m pretty sure everyone made the exact same face at this thread

A large meal from McDonald's isn't that much less.

Sad the world we live in.

Jr. Cheeseburger deluxe at Wendy's for 99 cents is still based

>>9728820
>I-I'm superior because I overpay for a fast food burger
Absolutely retarded

>>9728864
Mah nigga.
Wendy's is still the best value out of all the major chains.

I never get why normies are obsessed with this shit. I've given it a chance on 3 different occasion thinking it was bad luck but their fries are over-seasoned garbage and their burgers aren't awful, but they have this really "amateur" flavor to them, like identical to frying one up with little seasoning and using store buns yourself.

>the name of the employee

why

got a 3x3 with fries at in n out today for 7 and change. five guys fries might taste better but they rip you off by giving you more than you can eat.

>>9728873
>red onions
Ohhhhh baby

In-n-Out in Fresno Ca. is the best Cheeseburger on the planet.... FTR

>>9728708
I once took an hour long bus ride and walked twenty minutes to reach my nearest Five Guys. It was pretty bad. Definitely wasn't worth it.

Please tell me Americans don't actually do this.

>>9729228
maybe some people don't like the taste of onion? god damn I'm getting sick of defending not eating something because I find the taste of it to be disgusting.

>>9728708
I regularly walk past this very Five Guys but have never made it in. Too busy on my way to Mo's.

>>9729231
Did this one back in school, we would take most of the money out of the guys side and move it to girls since it was empty and the tips got even more ridiculous. we went from splitting ~$25 to splitting over $150. I didn't realize it at the time, because I was young, but it was a crazy social experiment that taught me a little bit about how to manipulate people.

>>9729235
How's middle school?

>>9729254
>Men tip more because they don't want to be outdone by women
>Women tip more because clearly other women have already done so
DEVILISH

>>9729263
Tippers are 5 to 1 men. When they think that they are being exposed as poor tippers they tip even more.

>>9729319
Yeah I want to punch whoever invented this scam and let the homeless use it.

>>9729254
I'm a barista and I would love to try this, too bad we are corporate.

>>9729319
So you're saying by being a cheapskate, I am in fact a tranny?

Holy shit time to go hang myself.

Their prices are so damn unreasonable these days. Used to be you can walk in with $10 and get a complete meal, drink included, and still have some cents left over. The food used to be better too, now they're no better than Wendy's or McDonald's new "gourmet" burgers.

>$14
Nigga, that's twelve dinners and a flu shot.

Hahahaha you are paying more in sales tax than what it would cost to make it at home

>>9728815

kek

Im gonna go and get the hotdog there for once. Are they any good or just the burgs?

>>9728873
Went there today. The 4 for $4 can't be beat. Good quality fries, good chicken nuggers, good CRISP FRESH CRUNCH burger toppings.

>>9731903
>good CRISP FRESH CRUNCH burger toppings.
Is English your first language?

5 Guys is overpriced trash, my local joint is far better and dont use shitty peanut oil

>>9728708
The burgers arent even big portions. Its so goddamn offensive. I went there once and never again.

The rally's baconzilla is the best burger to ever exist.

>>9731915
>>9731946
No I was describing my experience have way and then remembered that silly burger king copypasta and couldnt help myself.

>>9730785
He works at starbucks.

The reason why the cost of burgers is that all toppings are free, so if you don't have many toppings you shouldn't bother going.

Also for every cup of fries they toss another in the bag always.

So if you ordered 2 large fries, they'd throw another 2 large fries into the bag.

>>9728708
Jesus, $4.39 JUST for fries?? No thanks

>>9732218
the question, einstein

>>9732430
Pink himalayan free range potatoes

>>9732417
they have tons of toppings, you are paying for all that shit and most people only want 3 or 4 max. they do give a lot of fries though

>>9732430
Even if you get the smallest size they have (might even be regular), they still give you a shitload of fries.

>>9732481
Thanks for the spelling lesson there Al 'I add an e the the end of every word' Gore...

>>9732430
the worst part is five guys fries suck dick

My local Five Guys is just outside the mall, which has crazy rent prices, so they charge even more.
It's almost $20 a person for burgers, fries, and a drink - and that's splitting an order of fries with someone.

$20 is burger, fries, sweet tea, beer, and good tip at a local place near campus.

>>9728708
>Worth it.

Only if I was still getting 3/4-1 pound burger. I'd rather go to Wendy's, Carls Jr., or In-n-out now of days still spend under 10 bucks and be able to get more.

>>9728723
This. the burger isn't even that good. A burger shouldn't need bacon to be good, but Five Guys definitely needs it. I'll stick to bobby's burger palace.

>>9728815
Being edgy won't help you fit in here. Go back to /b/

>>9729183
>Fries were mediocre
This. Five Guys fries are the most overrated fast food item. Too thick and way over seasoned.

I do not eat beefurgers.

>>9728708

>didn't get the cajun fries

>>9728708
I could accept a $9 burger, but $4.50 fries is insane. All potatoes is the same.

>>9733608
>All potatoes is the same.

Tell that to the Belgians.

>>9733608
A medium fry at Five Guys is basically like getting an entire fryer basket of the things, they don't stop at the container they usually throw in two or three more scoops right into the bag

>>9733628
This. No matter what cup size of fries you get, they fill that, then fill near half the bag with fries. If you aren't getting the cajun ones, you're doing it wrong.

>>9733628
>>9733649
Not everyone wants to eat a pound of fries with their burger

>>9733668
There have been many times I didn't finish them desu.

>>9733668
So don't order a medium dummy

>ITT: people don't know how to order from 5 guys
Always get the "little" items and always get ALL the toppings.

>>9728708
Nicely baited.

>>9728771
>They finished grabbing market share and they don't need new customers anymore.
That's because it became so trendy.
>They just need the dumb fatties that will keep forking over way too much money for a half decent burger.
I was introduced to Five Guys by a skinny manlet. Fast food isn't just a fat person thing.

>>9733702
Standard items shouldn't cost anymore than $10 for a meal if it's fast food. Five guys is taking an extra $6 or $7 profit on each meal. More than most restaurants would feel comfortable charging for their burger and fry combo.

>>9728815
Christ you sound like a fucking loser.
Genuinely embarrassed that you made that comment thinking you were edgy

>>9733668
The meme appeal of the place which is what made it trendy is that it's extreme. They give this impression by making everything extra greasy and tossing large fries into a small gas station paper bag. That's the catch, but it seems stupid when you see everyone sit down with a greasy bag. It's almost like paying more to be treated like a pig at the trough. Here's your bag of loose fries to go with your giant wet diaper greasy burger piggies oink oink

>>9728708
>not going for large fries

>>9732541
This. They are soggy as fuck. Its like they put the fries in warm oil

>>9730785
barista is a fancy term for coffee maker, IE the most basic job at any coffee shop. wow you know how to steam milk and seperate the foam, so skilled.

>>9728708
Sure is expensive to eat healthy.

>>9729235
>some people don't like the taste of onion?
and those people should be gassed

>>9733608
Their fries are based on price not conventional sizes. The medium there can easily feed family of 3-4. Going to Five Guys alone is a mistake, but it becomes cost effective with a few people.

>>9733668
Then fucking go with another person or two and split the cost of the fries.

>>9728708
Whopper tastes better.

>>9729199
Actual fast food joints don't take tips unless they're a coffee house here in the states.
Smaller places do but if you order to go 12% or so is expected over 15-20% if you were sitting to eat.
