I dont go out and eat cheeseburgers at all. But yesterday, had a craving for a burger at lunch. Decided to visit a local 5 Guys after thinking back to some of this board's discussion. $19 for a cheeseburger, small fry, and drink......$19??? Wow. The place was half empty at 12:30, peak lunch time, too. I can see why.

5 guys means something a little different for you doesn't it?
It's part of Greed's business model. Grossly overpay line staff to keep them from wanting to better themselves. Never mind the fact they all get upwards of $15K supplemental income when they do their tax returns. Let's fill their pockets with cash to waste on frivolous shit.
According to Greed the Inbreed, this will have no impact on COGS.

knew where you got the burger before opening thread. 5 guys pricing is ridiculous read something where they give a shitload of fries to make the customer think the screwing they're taking is worth it.
Took the family to Joyland in Nashville not too long ago. It was amazing but it was literally $120 for a burger and fries for 5. Guess I don't feel so bad seeing as how 5 guys is the same price.
I read the thread title and immediately thought “5 Guys.”
I love 5 Guys but holy shit are they expensive.

I’ll say this though, I’ve been to the trendy “sit down” burger places, and all they do is pile on too many weird toppings and undercook the burger. I’d rather have the 5 Guys.
Moes is just as bad. It’s $50 for two kids quesadillas a burrito and quesadilla for my wife and I plus a small queso. But hey Kamala lama ding dong just said the admin saved us money on energy costs.
I walked in 5 Guys in Teays Valley a few months ago and turned around and left when I saw the prices. Insane.
following greeds model, they would be on commission sales. Sell enough cheeseburgers get commission, maybe a SPIFF check.
They get on a message board and say everyone should be part of a union.
Let's see Five Guys or a Porterhouse steak? Good choice. 5 Guys is way over priced.
Paid about that for burgers and fries at Disney Springs but holy shit was that a good meal. Took about 30 napkins to get through but would totally do again.
The burgers at all the parks were costly but cheap AF in quality. I got tired of them real quick, along with all the mickey shaped waffles, scrambled eggs, etc at the character breakfasts, but you know, the kids have to get their pictures and autographs to fill the book.

I thought you told me Mayor Pete paid for everything when he took you last summer
Five Guys has always been pricey. The few times I have eaten there I get the burger with only one patty, it's cheaper and two is just too damn big anyway.
Last week I paid $35 for a burger, fries, and a drink. The burger was on a pretzel bun with herb whipped goat cheese, arugula, bacon date aioli, and brown sugar candied bacon. Fries were pommes frites with truffle oil and fresh-grated grated parm. The drink was an Old Fashioned made with Old Forester Single Barrel Rye. So without the booze $21. Makes that $19 at Five Guys look stupid.

Where are you getting a Porterhouse for $19?
Is Ponderosa still in business? Perhaps the last Western Steer that didn't turn into a titty bar? 🤣
Man those places were gross but I used to kill the "grosa" in college.
The last 5 Guys meal I had was around $15-17 if I remember correctly. Burger, fries, and a drink. I noticed recently that they had closed in my area. Wonder why?
Salad bar had the hot bar too, I'd destroy it back then lol.
Another favorite was the Chi Chi's lunch buffet. I'm sure all you can eat queso contributed to my heart attack 🤣
Yehh, silly, not making cabinets in a shop or making cheesburgers or working in a factory or warehouse.
The Doll House in North Myrtle at lunch.
damn good food, know the owners very well. talk to the owner and tell them their drunken accountant has you covered.
Bville had to top Milton. Milton got a Lion's Den. Bville said hold my beer and turns Western Steer into a titty bar with a damn Sheetz at the foot of the hill.
