1. Five Guys only uses fresh ingredients.
2. Their food is made with premium products.
3. Five Guys does not skimp on size.
4. Their burger buns are baked fresh off-site.
5. Peanut oil is their pricey go-to for fries.
6. Toppings are free — but are they really?
7. They'd rather raise the price than compromise on quality.
8. There are no timers in the kitchens at Five Guys.
9. Five Guys refuses to deliver, even to the Pentagon because the food would not be fresh.
10. There really are more than 250,000 ways to order at Five Guys.

Stop complaining about the price. You pay for what you get. Quality.

In-N-Out is the only other burger joint that’s actually cheaper than Five Guys but somehow maintains its quality.
 
Five guys is no more expensive then McDonalds or Burger King. Burger king charges $6 for a Whopper and $4 for a large fry. You got to be a idiot to chose BK over Five Guys. Also, a Big Mac is also $6, and $4 for a large fry. And i am just naming the most well known burgers. Both McD's and BK have other burgers upwards of $8.

Ok but around where I live you could easily spend $25 per person on Five Guys

A comparable meal at McDonald's or Wendy's or BK is between $12 and $15

ON another note- "Their burger buns are baked fresh off-site." isn't exactly a selling point. Aren't all buns baked fresh off site?

A real selling point would be the fact they don't use freezers to store their meat
 
They used to use a different bun before they became so expensive, that didn't have sesame seeds. Last time I went there which was probably a few years ago, and spent around 28$ for a shake fries and burger I was not impressed with the bun. At all.

I do like that they use peanut oil, I started buying peanut for frying at the house. Costco around Thanksgiving sells a massive box that lasts me almost all year.

Their buns were soaked wet with grease when i tried it, at that point does it matter if it was freshly baked?
 
I don't complain I just don't take my family there cause 100 plus for fast food burgers just ain't happening. I also don't take them to fast food in general for the same reason, it's not affordable, fast or that good anymore.

i have to say that i pretty much agree with all of what you said. i personally prefer an in-n-out burger to a five guys, but you get way more bang for your buck with five guys. and their burger is pretty damn good as well, not far behind to me. five guys destroys in-n-out when it comes to the fries. not even in the same universe. how the hell can in-n-out have such shitty fries? i know they're real potatoes and all, but jesus christ.
 
I like 5 guys a lot...despite that I hadn't been there in a few years until a month ago. I've heard rumors and complaining about their prices during my hiatus but couldn't verify.

Wife and I each had a burger.
We split a fry...it was plenty for both of us
We each had regular size drink.

It was 40$
I can just make better at home for half that. And I prefer eating home anyway.

So it's a good burger. I can easily afford it. It's just the rational choice not to go there.

They do it on site so they can't double fry it. Well they can but they just don't do it. Most places have fries that are fried already then they fry it again.

Ur fast food game weak fam no disrespect 💯 🦌 download di app saves every1 money u n Ronald 🤳🍔💹
 
I used to manage a Five Guys.

The only thing worth getting are the fries, and that's if the dumbass making them actually prepares them correctly. Otherwise, you can make a much better burger at home for way cheaper and you can actually season your burger patty, too.

Idk when you had it, but I was working there in 2010 and they had sesame seed buns, and management told me they have always used those.
