I had no idea so many dudes couldn’t handle a burger and fries without becoming a fatass or dying. The 2nd thing I’ve learned today after 5 Guys being expensive


Whats worse? That or lying about your gluttony to try to justify your 5,00 calorie lunch? After being correctly called out, you left the hotdog and milkshake off the list.

I said the same thing the other day. I wanted a little cheeseburger, not a slider but not a ginormous burger either, with some bacon on it.


Just that, not even any sides, is almost $7. That's nuts.


No wonder I've never eaten there. Looks like I'm not going to either.

I eat at least 2,500 calories a day. If I go to, say Chipotle, I always get double meat because I eat a lot of protein. I don't act surprised when it costs more though.

But no, I don't eat a bacon cheeseburger, a hot dog, fries, and a milkshake in one sitting ever, weekend or weekday. And if I did, I wouldn't complain about it being expensive

It can be expensive but I enjoy their burgers every so often. I’m not here to talk about their prices though, what does piss me off is when I order a cheeseburger and they ask me if I want a little or regular. Mother fricker did I ask for a little cheeseburger!? No, I asked for a cheeseburger. I understand they do that because new customers don’t understand their menu but it still pisses me off

I thought this was for a family? Either way.. I had a half philly, 1 o-ring, and half an order of nacho cheese fries just for lunch yesterday. And I'm tiny as hell. Maybe Mr. Balls does like me. Starvation station 1 day, mass amounts of garbage the next.

Its a balance.

I never really care about price in the food I buy. However I do care about value and I can't see any value in 5 guys food or the dining experience.

I could care less how I am treated at Popeye's or Burger King. I do know what I am eating would cost if I cooked it myself. Next I look at the ambiance of a 5 guys strip mall "restaurant". Certainly not worth an extra 25 cents toward the price of the meal. Certainly not worth several dollars.

I will let you guys decide how much money knowing the name of the guy who grew your potatoes and what state he lives in (Idaho - Duh) is worth.

I just see very little value in the 5 guys dining experience. At least Sonic occasionally has someone on roller skates bringing my food. Now, I would pay extra for that if the 5 guys servers wore roller skates or skimpy clothing. Sadly, they don't.

At least other $9.00 burger places have some kid come to your table and take your order so you are not standing in line to place your order like Burger King or Krystal.

it was two people ordering food for two people. You don’t get to say well that’s enough food for 3 people so it’s really not that bad. “Four children could have eaten that meal so you got off easy”

I do want to know who goes in there and orders a large fry, they must get an entire bag full

I didnt realize it was that expensive because I haven't eaten there since about 2011. It is bland and a mouthful of nothing.

Preach. It is void of flavor, except for the tomato.

Are you so fat and bitch titted that you seriously worry about how many calories are in the food you eat? The only dudes I know who count calories are lardasses. I assume you must have some really shitty genes.
