Five Guys thread, a 130+ page swordfight. (2 Viewers)

Everything is expensive in California so I guess they can't afford a few extra bucks for good food?

Might as well just hammer that $1 menu at McDonalds guys. There's your value.

What the pro-peanut crowd doesn't understand is that you're paying for those peanuts whether they're free or not. Maybe a burger and fries wouldn't cost 13 and change of they ditched the free nuts. I'm going to open a sandwich place and give away free beef jerky. It'll be the best $17 sandwich you've ever had.

I love the people falling for the extra scoop of fries shtick as well. Hey Einstein, you're not getting extra fries. They just made the container small. Of course you get a ton. Look what you're paying for them.
Does your Five Guys really charge you $13 for a burger and fries, or is that shtick?
Just had a little cheeseburger (1 burger) and a regular fries (which is gigantic) - $9.99... I've been curbing sugar drinks, so you can just ask them for a cup and get ice water.

$9.99 and I'm beyond full.

how long did you stick around to observe the peanut eating behavior if you weren't actually dining there?

did they yell "ONE IN THE DOOR!" and then cry when you walked right out after confirming that they did indeed have boxes of peanuts available?
I was there about a minute, maybe less. I looked around the room and counted to zero the number of people with peanuts.

Nobody yelled anything.

At Five McDonald's Guys everything on the dollar menu costs $1.39 but you get free tic-tacs.

Its not really counting if its zero. See...this story has holes.

 
So, based on our extensive sample size of 1 minute observations at Five Guys around the Pacific Beach area, Five Guys puts out peanuts but nobody eats them.

I guess they have to charge so much extra for the food because they throw out all those uneaten peanuts every night.

Just so we're clear here FCHucks, there is no way, in any way, that you are eating healthy. You realize even if you shave a coke off, get a single burger…you are still cramming fried potatoes and dead cow into your system. There's more going on with health than simple caloric intake…take it from a bonafide fat man.

You love 5 Guys, it's all good, they're selling a lot of food and there are legions of fans. But for a double with bacon and cheese, fries, drink, it's $13+

I guess $10-$15 for lunch is pretty normal for a lot of folks these days. It just ads up and suddenly your spending $75 a week on lunch

Good news, fellas. I'm opening a new BBQ restaurant. It's going to be delicious. Craft beer, authentic side dishes. Here's the best part: free bananas. 100% free, delicious, perfectly ripe bananas. Have as many as you'd like. The good kind too, Chiquitas. Grab a bunch, peel and enjoy. Free bananas, yo.

Setting yourself up to get robbed by a bunch of guys hoisting bananas in their pants as a gun, GB. Maybe same concept, but with raisins? Everybody loves raisins. And they never go bad.

Toddlers eat a lot of bananas... should prob stack up on high chairs and booster seats.

HTH & GL!

 
They don't yell "at" you. They alert their co-workers that customers are entering.
Is anyone old enough to remember when the cashier would speak into a loud speaker what you order as you ordered it?
:thumbsup:I remember this great prank played by some of my friends once, real simple and worked like a charm.

They taped a note to the drive through: "Mic/Speaker Broken. Please Yell Loud. Thank you - McDs MGMT"

They then went and grabbed some food inside and cracked up while driver after driver would be yelling at the top of their lungs "BIG MAC, LARGE FRIES, FISH FILET, VANILLA SHAKE AND A DIET COKE" while the staff was just shuked at being yelled at all night

It's $6.79 for a double cheeseburger with bacon, grilled mushrooms, grilled onions, and whatever the #### else you want on it.

Same as Five Guys but with a southern accent.

 
It's $6.79 for a double cheeseburger with bacon, grilled mushrooms, grilled onions, and whatever the #### else you want on it.
$7 for a humongous burger and the poor folks in the FBG need to take out a loan to eat there.
I understand it's not the cheapest meal on the planet, but come on.
$9.99 today and I'm stuffed...

What are the alternatives? Subway for example - Sandwich/chips is $7 - Can't find a decent salad for under $7 - Chipotle is $10 - I think they're priced just about right.

I'd rather have the nuts than the free bathroom, TP, and guy to clean it once a day. Wish they would get rid of that free water and ice they give away too.

I sense another problem for you. Five Guys has gigantic red signs all over their walls self-congratulating themselves for being the best food in the solar system. Example. If you haven't opened yet, you might want to consider giant, over-zealous, self-congratulating, self-assuring signage that boldly and loudly proclaim your bananas to be THE BEST bananas. You know, kind of like your coffee cup that says "Best Actor".

I would also have free avocados one day a week.

"2 in the trunk!"

It is $10... Outside of 2 slices of pizza, most lunches will be in the $8-$11 range...
Now granted, I only eat out once a work-week and really, it's more of a carry-out/dine-at-my-desk sorta deal, so I am not a good barometer of what lunch costs on a daily basis, but....there's a super market down the road that makes any kind of deli sandwich you want for $5.99. I will stack this tuna fish sandwich on marble rye with swiss cheese against anything Subway offers up. Absolutely splendid the way Sherri makes them for me. Fresh, tasty, all sorts of pickles and peppers. :wub:

I'm guessing you could find a supermarket in your area that does the same. If you're a soda drinker and a chips eater, you could probably find those cheaper at the store too.

$13 for a burger and fries is restaurant pricing not fast food pricing.

I can get a top notch Niman Ranch burger for $13.

Does Sherri smell remotely like said sandwich?

 
It's $6.79 for a double cheeseburger with bacon, grilled mushrooms, grilled onions, and whatever the #### else you want on it.
$7 for a humongous burger and the poor folks in the FBG need to take out a loan to eat there.
Guess you don't want fries with your burger or a drink.

It's not that $10-13 is expensive in the grand scheme of things but for what you get it's way overpriced.

$6 and you're out the door with a superior meal (IMHO) from In-N-Out.

It's even cheaper if you buy potatoes and fry your own chips.

But yes, Subway sucks.

Except that the burger patty is about as thick as a piece of paper, the bun sucks, and the fries are worthless, I completely agree.
