    Lately, instead of picking up a fast food buyer and fries for $13, I’ve been going to Chili’s. They have a $10.99 special that is a REAL bacon cheeseburger, excellent fries, and a drink, and it even includes a salad or a cup of soup. With tax and tip, it’s $15.

    The last time I went to 5 Guys, it was $24.50, and it wasn’t nearly as good.

      The last time I went to 5 Guys

      I stopped going to Five Guys unless it’s a kid’s birthday request.

      Last time we went to Five Guys, kids got hot dogs, one plain, one with bacon, Wife got a burger, we got a regular fry and a cajun fry to share at the table and 4 softdrinks it came to $75, note, I didn’t even get myself a burger I got a drink and ate the fries.

      For $10 more dollars, we can all go to Hibachi, walk out of there stuffed and have enough left for another meal.

      $15 bacon cheese $10 hot dog $7 Fries $4 bottle of soda

      They’re just insane.

        Yeah, I wrote them off long ago, but I was recently pressed for time and they were right there. I was shocked at the price. Other than the fries, everything else is average, with the worst, cheapest buns in the biz.

        The fries are legit, though. Classic Boardwalk-style fries, especially with malt vinegar.

          I’ve been trying to convince the wife to authorize a restaurant grade fry cutter.

          It’s super easy to make the fries if you have the gear
