You didn't though. Nothing in your op implies overrated via the pictures provided. The price is the closest thing to a relative criticism, but that's simply over priced not overated. The pictures are unflattering but it's fast food.

There is zero reason to eat at a Five Guys when In-N-Out is around. I'm so happy the Five Guys that were in my area have all been closing down. One even made way for a new Pho place i'm eager to try.

I think it's highly franchise dependent. Theres a few good chiptoles in the area and when I moved to another cluster of them they all blow. Poorly managed, items out of stock, and badly cooked food. To be expected by wagies when it's not just reheating frozen food and its not just pizza, hot dogs, and burgers

No, the crown for most overrated fast food goes to In-n-out. Despite the way californian diaspora masturbate about it it's middling at best.

do the spics at your chipotle skimp on the protein or something? I have the opposite problem, they put heaping amounts of meat to the point where I barely get any beans and rice.

[Anonymous No.17259202]

This is what a burger, fry, and drink costs at the 5 guys near me. that is the most expensive base prices for bacon cheeseburger, fry, and drink. If you get a regular cheeseburger and regular fry it's like $17, another ~2.75 for a drink. I personally don't like five guys enough to pay that much for their product.

this is the same exact locations menu prices from 2018, they've gone up a bit, but it has always been on the pricier side. they also used to load you up on fries, but now they very specifically measure out how much 'extra' they give you in the bag, it wasn't like that before.

I honestly can't believe they charge this much for their food. It must be die-hard fans keeping them alive desu. I could go to nice sit-down restaurant and get a quality burger+fries that didn't cost a weeks worth of groceries.
I'm really just so confused by the prices

[Anonymous No.17259570]

i think a cheeseburger at five guys all the way tastes only marginally better than a bigmac. so just go to mcdonalds IMO

Interesting that you mention it can be dependent on the cluster, because I haven't been able to find a single good one in my area. It's been nearly a decade now but the area I went to college in had Qdoba and I remember it being heaps better. Even if Chipotle could get a handle on their more egregious violations (foreign objects in the food, large chunks of unripe avo in the guac, stale rice mixed in with fresh, etc) it still bothers me a bit that all of their food seems to be lukewarm that should be hot.

One cheeseburger and small fries for 14.07 CAD == 11.20 USD. Ask for a cup for water (fill with soda), and get the free peanuts.

On DoorDash it's $12.29 for the burger, $7.50 for fries, and looks like they only have $3.30 20oz sodas.
Obviously prices are based on location, a few states over it's $11.15, $7.79, and $3.11

Alright. The fucking burger you ordered (1000 cal) is a meal in itself, get the "little" burger, which is more. akin to a regular burger (5-700cal), the large fry (1300 cal)you ordered is supposed to serve 5, and you bought a large sprite (500ish cal) like a retard

5 Guys used to be way cheaper and used to give you a fucking ton of fries. Quality was also slightly higher.
Nowadays, for the same price, you could sit down in a real restaurant and order a burger, and it'll taste way better.

>Nothing in your op implies overrated via the pictures provided.
dude ur such a moron. if u take anything away from this i want u to know that u r not a very smart person

the picture shows a line, assumedly a person saying it, in support of five guys being a high tier fast food restaurant by saying it is "the fucking shit" and is at least better than the fast food restaurant known as mcdonalds. this shows that it is seen in a somewhat positive light which means the opinion of it being overrated or not is appropriate to be applied as a response.
the picture then shows some less than pleasant pictures of the food five guys serves, namely the bag soaked in grease, the soggy fries, the cup filled to the brim with ice, and the mushed burger. you could argue that the poster may not necessarily be showing these qualities in a negative light (although u would need to be a moron to think that), but the price tag in the middle of 20$, a price much greater than the average usually given to a serving of fast food, is very purposefully trying to contrast with the quality of the pictures in terms of what is generally seen as reasonable to sell for that price, namely that 20$ is worth more than the product shown.
this juxtaposition is the way that this image is trying to say that having such a high opinion on five guys is ridiculous and is, in fact, overrated due to the unfair on the consumer's behalf.

the fact that i had to spell it out for u really shows that you are a moron
