And they NEVER fill their fry cartons. When I worked for Burger King once upon a time there was a sticker on the side of the fry bin reminding us all that it was OKAY to overfill them, and toss any that'd been sitting there awhile. The cost of french fries in a large carton is MAYBE 40 cents. McDonalds charges $4.49 for that, and you're lucky if they're fresh and even luckier if the carton is full.
At 5 Guys, I can get a "little cheeseburger" (almost 1/4 pound of 80/20 ground chuck) loaded with sauteed mushrooms and a "little fry" which is really a small to-go burger bag filled around 1/2-way with store-cut fries, for under $15. I really wish 5 Guys had a location up on the northeastern end of The Villages, but when I'm down in Brownwood it's one of my usual go-tos.

A little pricey at Five Guys but a much better product, cooked to order in open kitchen and great toppings. Btw...the filet o fish sandwich at Mickey D’s I deem a lapse in judgement in the very few times I’ve ordered it. It is great pier bait tho!
