    Yea this was maybe 17 years ago. I used to get it regularly, but I haven’t had it in at least 10 years from the outrageous prices.

      Yea I think I’m pushing 10 years as well now. It’s good food…but it’s still fast food burgers for premium restaurant cost. It’s no longer worth it, hell my local burger places which are actual restaurants with waiters are usually cheaper by $10 or more for the wife and I and that’s with a 25% tip. How 5 guys is still open amazes me.

        Yeah, this I can understand. Like Applebee’s does the 2 for 26 deal where you can get two burgers an appetizer and fries for about 28 bucks, granted they’re going to nickel and dime you if you want anything other than a standard Burger which is unlike Five Guys(which is about 22 for a bacon burger, large fry and shake) but you do get a little more food even if the burger isn’t as good.

        As for how they’re still open, it’s because despite what others have said on this post. They are still one of the best quick restaurant around, they’re also one of the more healthier options. That combined with the fact that they’re one of the few fast food joints that actually pays their workers a living wage makes it a pretty big choice for people who want a quick and easy meal
