Pro tip: If you order Five Guys through DoorDash, UberEats, etc, you should know that Five Guys doesn't start cooking your fries until the driver gets there. Since these services usually give their drivers two or three stops at a time, and drivers know they will be delayed at Five Guys, drivers go out of their way to rearrange their pickups to get to Five Guys first. The Five Guys delay gives the other places a little extra time to complete their orders, so hopefully the driver will be able to get in and out with no additional delay.

It also means that your food will be waiting on the driver's cold passenger seat the longest possible time.

All that is just a matter of practicality. The drivers are trying to make the best of a bad situation. Some, though, take it a step further: it's not fair for the customers of other, better stores to suffer from Five Guys corporate policy. So they make sure the Five Guys order is not just picked up first, but also dropped off last.

Behold the superior hamburger ye mighty and despair:

To me 5 guys fries are way the hell too greasy, and I'm not even that picky about my food.

Penn Station Subs is expensive too. Like Five Guys, I won't even consider eating there.

I always thought the fries were the way they are because they're fresh cut in the place and not dehydrated and frozen

I usually get a double and think it's pretty good, maybe a bit too tall

Wanna know why it's called Five Guys?

Because it takes the salary of five people to pay for one meal.

There’s a Five Guys in my city and whenever I’m reminded of it, I always wonder why I’ve never tried it before. Then I remember I always walk past it after seeing the prices on the menu.

Guess you only got a family of 3.

The Wendy's, McDonalds, and Hardees In my town are all closed or closing soon. They've priced their garbage quality food right out of what the people that would go there can afford. Good riddance. My only sympathy is for the folks losing a job, but working Fast food suuuuucks. I hope those folks find something better.

But they give you so many fries!

Wendy's $5 or $6 meal deals... you get a double stack, nuggies, fries & a drink, and a frosty with each purchase for a year if you get their key tag.

Go to McDonald's if you want to spend $60 for shit. At least 5 Guys is still good

It's not bad food, but it's definitely not worth the money.

It's also not very good. I don't get why some people rave about it. Local places are usually much, much better.

It wasn't bad when it was a 5 dollar burger.

I used to think that Five Guys in my country had awful prices because of some weird franchising agreement. Seems I’m wrong

People post shit like this as if they're being forced to eat fast food. Make your own fucking food if you're worried about the price. It's been like that forever.

Honestly though, Five Guys is one of the few fast food restaurants that I think the price warrants what you get. Like yeah it's 22 bucks for Fry's a burger and a shake but man is worth it you get so many fries in the burgers amazing, and the shake isn't that bad either, Not to mention the free peanuts, which I'm sure sucks if you have a peanut allergy but I love peanuts, plus I like that they pay well, I see signs saying starting pay at 24/h which for fast food is pretty good.

Meanwhile i grabbed potato buns and beef and made myself a bunch of smash burgers that would put five guys to shame. Only cost like $10
