Nope haven’t been to Five Guys in awhile either. lol

We would rather spend the extra money and have a nice sit down meal at a nice place.

I grill a lot and use my smoker often. It’s hard justifying fast food when what I or my wife cook is much better.

They’ve definitely gone up

If you were short on McDs fry, check between your seat. The ones you dropped 4 years ago, will look exactly the same as the ones you drop today

Makes the $12.99 double cheeseburger with fries and a beer deal on Tuesdays at some of the country clubs look like even more of a bargain.

Hadn’t been to a McDonalds in about 4 years. Was a little surprised at the price. A Big Mac meal and a 1/4 Pounder meal came to right at $18.

They also placed a flyer in each bag stating they were hiring at $13-$18 per hour with up to 2,500 of tuition assistance.

I think I’ll go to Five Guys for my fast food burger fix at those prices.

You may get one meal at Five guys for $18.

You can eat much cheaper, as well as better and healthier, at Amerikanos.

No burgers, of course.

What tuition? Isn't the "new" America tuition free or pledged/donated in a star's world?

The price of the food has gone up just like everything else so not shocked at all. If they ever bring back $0.39/$0.49 (hamburger/cheeseburger) the place would be slammed. Oh the good old days.

At those prices, many of us would return if we were shorted even one French fry. But how many fries are in that size? Did he count them all? No cheating? He didn’t eat one?

Last time I was at Five Guys guys two burgers and a fry was $30.

That is so true. I never ate their fries again after finding them in the car some time later.

It’s McDonalds? The food is the same here as it is at any McDonalds? Even has the same menu… Yes, I’m shocked too.
