Five Guys depends on who is running it. The whole franchise thing. The one I go too my burger is always hot and fresh. They have fresh grilled onions. I like the fries and it has good ice tea. If I just grab a single patty with cheese and toppings it is like 5 bucks for an good fresh burger.

a cheeseburger and an order of fries and a drink here is about 11 bucks. Which is even with like Chilis or Applebees or even Outback (ONLY FOR THE BURGER meal and a drink)
Also the order of fries are huge. My family, 3 people, can split one and have left overs. It is basically, here is a cup of fries, and a second cup in your bag.

That's really expensive for a fast food burger, In-n-Out is like $6.50 or so for the combo. If I am paying $11 for a burger I feel like I might as well go all out and go to a nice burger place, probably end up spending $15 for the meal but get an absolutely orgasmic burger. $11 straddles some weird middle line between fast food and pure bliss.

Burgers range from 4 bucks to 5.99. The fries are like double orders and they are home fries and fucking delicious. It isn't really fast food, it is the weird place between fast food and sit down.

Five guys burgers are so much better than Outback burgers, which are objectively, provably, and repeatably terrible.

Five Guys is way better than fast food. A combo at Wendy's is like $8 and it's still less food and not as good. I don't see the price difference to be that crazy. I am not going to cry over 2-3 dollars.
I thought about wading into that thread, but it is frustrating to see people trying to contort oversimplified or erroneous definitions around concepts that usually take people a good couple of years of undergraduate study to wrap their heads around.
That goes for both sides, to some degree, but I'm thinking particularly of J's insistence on treating electrons as individual objects, rather than as a convenient shorthand for mathematical abstractions of effect.
sit down tips are optional too though so I don't get the argument
No they aren't. Seriously? Tips at a restaurant contribute to their shitty pay. Unless people in a fast food restaurant make less than minimum wage then the tipping is totally different.
Did Five Guys like run over and then shit on your dog or something. You have a fit whenever we mention it.
I had Shake Shack in DC. I was unimpressed. It was actually pretty bad. Smash burger isn't that bad. I like five guys more just for the fries if anything.

Unless this is a "troll".
It is a beautiful faux troll that is rapidly approaching the limits of poe's law.

I'm not trolling and I'm not having a fit. Kags asked for opinions on Five Guys. I gave mine. There was some incredulity at my claim that sit downs are the same price as five guys. I posted proof. Tipping was brought up. I said my Five Guys has a tip jar so there's effectively no difference from my perspective. If there is a tip jar, I tip. MS has some of the worst employee protections ever so hell those kids might very well depend on those tips just as well so I don't take any chances. But yes, as shitty as it is, tips -are- always optional technically speaking.
But no I don't HATE Five Guys at all. I just am always amazed at the mysticism surrounding a mediocre burger shop that is a bit overpriced.

Actually I don't buy normal's(Its a double patty). That is way too much as well. Especially with all the toppings.
diaf
i get fries with my burger when i'm alone
because i am not a girly man and can eat more potatoes in one sitting than the entire country of ireland
Mine doesn't.
And yeah, no table service so there is no tip.
Of course.
Oh well, don't look a gift horse in the mouth.
When it comes to Food Televsion women need to get OUT of the kitchen.
They are optional, just like every other tip jar is.
