Five Guys at it Again

10% price increase in the burger in the last 3 months. Have not ate out since I started keto in November. This was ~$9 then.

My favorite burger but once this crosses $10 will never eat there again. It’s around $18 now for a regular fry and regular drink. Don’t care how much money you make, this is absurd. Also think they made the patties smaller.

Also now asking for a tip when you run your credit card. LOL. Bathrooms are shut down, no hand sanitizer inside, no peanuts, no inside dining. 2 small tables outside. Windy as F.

I’m worked out of town . So I was having the ribs with mashed potatoes at the restaurant across the street.
The meal last year was around $23 after the 20% tip . Sloot waitress tells me because of the China flu , they had to raise the prices .
So the same meal and tip percentage came to $32 .
I go their yesterday,a few weeks later, and now it’s over $40 for the same meal . Guess it’s Safeway and eat in my motel room for now on

I love Five Guys, their burgers have a nice unique flavor - right in between legit fresh restaurant burger and good fast food burger - but yeah their prices are so ridiculously crazy. I don't want to spend close to $20 on a burger meal. For that range I'd rather go get some sushi or some chit.

That's their schtick. Legit doesn't matter what size you order - they dump new fries in the fryer for every order so you get a **** ton of fries. Not mad when bulking...slightly sad some of them go to waste when cutting.

Edit:

Somewhat agree on the pricing. Used to be a good deal for the quantity/quality (price to product ratio) but now I don't go unless I specifically am craving their food due to price.

5 Guys burger meal here in California is around $17-18 after tax, last time I went. We have real award winning restaurants that are cheaper.

Yeah, I have recomped (cut fat and put on muscle). But I have put on muscle since before injury so muscle memory. Also haven't drank in over 100 days. The bun and ketchup was my first cheat. Don't do it if you are going to be drinking and buying keto bars (fake candy bars) or products like that. If you are going to do it, eat real food and no alcohol.

Beef and chicken has gone up about 33% since covid started.

Restartaint’s food cost is 33%.

If raw materials go up 33 cents they have to go up $1 to make up.

That’s where this increase is coming from.

Ecery fuking thing is gone up. My grocery used to be close to $200 before covid. Now it’s close to $320. This is for 2 weeks for several people mid to high quality food. About 50% is so called organic. And this does not include meats.

Beef and chicken is another $150 per 2 weeks. Used to be $100-ish

Awful fuking crazy when I think about how much I spend on groceries.

Can’t even imagine what it’ll be like when I start dining out again. Fuk

I hate to sound like a cheapskate, but it really is mind-boggling how overpriced Five Guys is. Don't get me wrong the burger and cajun fries are good, but the price is totally not worth it. That's why if I want a fast food burger, I go to Burger King and use coupons (ded fkn Srs).

Never tried five guys. There aren’t any around here. I do make some killer homemade burgers, sometimes the convenience of fast food is the better choice though.

I went like 2mo ago and saw that huge price increase. Used to be $5.95+tax both here and in U.K. Not paying $10 for burger and fries. Whataburger's tolerable.

Honestly don't know how restaurants are going to keep a customer base with how fast food prices are rising. I've always ate out a ton, but it's starting to get ridiculous and I might actually have to start cooking better.

Yeah the difference between a basic restaurant meal and nicer restaurant meal is becoming closer and closer. Steakhouses around me have kept about the same prices the last few years. Casual restaurants keep getting higher. Fast food is the price restaurants used to be.

Whey protein cost the same.

Many joints just like it unfortunately. I get pissed when I think about how much it costs to order anything from medium tier restaurants. If I can't find anything I'm interested in that's under $5 for a single menu item (non-meal), I'm pretty much contemplating how hungry I really am and what I've got in the kitchen at home.

$9 for a single bacon cheese burger, as a base price, then it better be the most premium specialty burger to ever exist.

Companies do this all the time.

The company I work for sells a worldwide popular product, we have raised the price twice this year alone (5x in the past 5 years) and have decreased the product size 3 out of the last 5 years

And you plebs never notice.
