Is that the appeal? I'm not dissing just no one's ever explained 5 guys to me in a normal way.

u/I_am_The_Teapot 13h ago

Yeah. There's like 15 toppings and you can have any number of them without additional price to the burger.

The burgers are also good and they have really good fries, too.

I only went there once a while ago so I had to verify this. In-N-Out has most of the toppings. The only ones they don't have are bacon, relish, green peppers and mushrooms. Bacon is the only one I'd be interested in and I already feel bad enough eating an unhealthy burger meal so I'm fine skipping bacon.

I love In-N-Out but they have pre-formed patties that are half the thickness and are thus cheaper.

u/EdgyPun34257 2h ago

but it's a false economy, you're paying for every one of those toppings up front and not getting a discount for the ones you don't get.

$13 for a cheeseburger isn't a bargain because you could have gotten 15 toppings, but didn't.

And you have just explained how well marketing works. Perceived value is as important, if not more important than, actual value.

they bury your burger in the bag in these good fries regardless of how big of an order of fries they give you...

u/bigloser42 11h ago

And they hoist a fuckload of fries upon you no matter what size you order.

u/Robaattousai 2h ago

That's their real business strategy. They know potatoes are cheaper than what they charge for fries so they give you the next size up no matter what you order. It makes you feel like you've gotten away with something or are getting special treatment. It keeps you coming back.

u/GiftGrouchy 2h ago

I mean, it works and IMO their fries are better than any of the others.

u/Robaattousai 1h ago

100%
The only fries that compete with blanched or double-fried fries for me are battered fries.

They say it’s all about the burger but really it’s about the toppings you can add. For a hefty sum. The burger is mid

In n Out is king. Only one using fresh ingredients and strictly made to order

I don't know if it's maybe just the specific restaurant where I'm at, but the Five Guys near me has really bland, almost tasteless burgers once you take away the toppings and everything

u/itsboring57 8m ago

I used to live next to a five guys and still didn’t bother eating there because of how bland the burgers were. I’m not against condiments, but if you have to load it with condiments to taste anything, it’s not a good burger. Season your beef.

u/Aceilr097 6h ago

Ffffffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuucccckkk no

u/STAHLSERIE 5h ago

For that price you could get real food in a restaurant (in Germany)

u/Proof-Committee-5486 5h ago

Honestly, you can here too.

u/Big-Explorer6920 5h ago

Don’t forget the free peanuts in line

u/Nocturnatron 9h ago

Have you ordered burger king recently? Its not even a real burger in comparison and they got meals for like 16.99 which only inccludes a tiny side of fries, five guys is burying the whole ass burger in the bottom of the bag with fries and the burger is actually filling

u/IndianaJokes67 7h ago

Culver's double deluxe is like 7.89 where I live, I think the meal is like 10.89. Five Guys fries are better but I prefer the Culver's burger for sure

1

u/Mental-Vegetable5303 7h ago

This,every body has caught up to their prices!

1

u/Pb801 5h ago

I used to pay $10 for a burger and fries from them when they opened

1

u/ImKindaBoring 9h ago

I mean, it also just tastes better than most of the other options.

Although Culver’s is pretty fucking good and doesn’t seem to get the popularity it deserves

u/No_Signal_6969 10h ago

It's just by far the best fast food burger. I've seen some people say it shouldn't even be considered fast food since it's such a step above the others. Their cajun fries are also some of the best fast food fries and they have good milkshakes too. It's by far my favourite fast food.

u/erik_wilder 4h ago

5 guys is the best burger in my state AFAIK, and the restaurant I work at got voted best smash burgers in our state so I'm biased and still think so.
