Compared to some fast food places, a Five Guys burger IS more expensive. Compared to some sit-down restaurants, they're less - and to me, just as good. But versus a Mickey D's and places of that ilk, Five Guys isn't all THAT much more for what you get. And you can "drag it through the garden" for no extra charge - just about anything you'd want to add to a burger is on their list.

Sure, you'll spend close to $10/person if everyone gets a fry and a beverage. Two people can split a small fry, though, and have more than enough to go around - their serving size for fries is over the top!! :) But again, compared to what you get quantity and quality-wise versus other similar venues, Five Guys is a comparatively good value.

We always try to economize (and at least THINK like we're being somewhat health conscious - ha-ha!) by skipping the fries and getting cups for ice water to drink. Helps keep the cost down quite a bit!!

JMHO, however!! :wave:

A Five Guys burger with all the toppings you can handle is only $3.59 and they are very good. Plus their free peanuts are always fresh and all you can eat. Sounds like a pretty good bargain to me.

:icon_hungry:The first time we went to five guys we both ordered large fries :icon_hungry: HOLEY MOLEY we ended up with enough fries to feed ten people. Their hamburgers are the best of the fast food resturaunts in my opinion. By the way, Golden Corral is no place for steaks, but for a great brunch buffet it is about as good as there is. They fix omlettes to order on Sundays and the chef puts on a great show. :bigbow:
