Vote for your LEAST FAVORITE fast casual restaurant.
A fast casual restaurant, found primarily in the United States and Canada, does not offer full table service, but advertises higher quality food than fast food restaurants, with fewer frozen or processed ingredients. It is an intermediate concept between fast food and casual dining.

What do you have against them? I don't see any other fast casual or fast food burger chain that's as good as they are - at least not the standards like Burger King, Wendy's, McDonald's, Hardee's/Carl's Jr and really not the Culver's, Freddy's type places either. Just being able to get not frozen french fries ought to count for something.

under no circumstances should a 6/10 burger, fries, and drink cost over $20, I don't care how much they overfill the bag with fries

Burgers are mid but cooked to order and topped with better than usual shit if you want it.
Hamburger - $6.95 or $8.95 for the double Fries - $4.35 (little) or $5.65 (regular) or $7.05 if you want large Drink - $2.85 (regular) or $3.05 (large)
Not getting the upsized options a regular hamburger ($6.95) plus a regular fries ($4.35) plus a regular drink ($2.85) is $14.15 plus tax. Obviously that can go up based on additional patties, adding cheese (though I don't eat slices of cheese so I don't know if other places charge you more say for a whopper vs. whopper with cheese). Even at 10% tax you'd be under $16.00 in a normal burger/fries/drink scenario. You can get that substantially cheaper at fast food places, but you're probably also getting what you pay for. I'm not a big defender of 5 Guys. I like them, but since I don't really eat burgers anymore much, I only go there maybe every 3 or 4 months and get an order of fries.
Those are the prices at the one on the Westbank by me too. idk Five Guys is pretty decent if I am going to eat beef and make my body revolt against me. I would rather not do that though.
EDIT: I lie. They are $8.75 for the Little burger. That is highway robbery. The regular burger is 10.43 WITHOUT cheese.
DBLE EDIT: So both are correct. esteban if you go to the location they have the prices you listed. If you get it delivered all the prices increase by a 1.50 before the delivery fees. That makes them even more bad. Fuck them. Done.

It's the worst one I can remember right now. The fast food and chain restaurant ones ended up pretty good imo, especially compared to this one which is just nonsense.
Even if it is $16 by you instead of $20, how the fuck is that worth it lol
It isn't necessarily worth it. But I'm not dropping below that quality level and eating fast food burgers since I'm not eating 5G either. Maybe the fast food places have McHappy Adult Meals or King Meals for under $15.00, but I'm not eating that slop anymore than playing the getting-a-crafted-burger-at-some-local-place-for-$15.00 card. For $20, you could go out and purchase ground beef, decent buns and the toppings you want (or hit the salad bar at said store for those) and have 5 or 6 burgers out of that. Certainly anyone could go get a bag of potatoes for $5.99 and fry their own fries too. I don't even know if that's worth it. But their fries are better than anyone else's which is my main thing with them. Plus the free salted in a shell peanuts while you wait for your order to be prepared is a nice touch.
Also, I don't know where 5 Guys sources their beef from. But a boss I had in the 1990's has a farm across the lake from New Orleans. Every Saturday at the cattle auction, the old decrepit cows and bulls are trotted out and sold to the highest bidder for around (then) $500. Those crusty old bovines about 100% would be purchased by local fast food processors. And those formerly happy and friendly cattle become grinded into mush that can be formed into patties to satisfy drooling Americans.

I love eating slices of cheese.
Then you should eat them when you want them. But it doesn't answer the point as to whether or not places charge you additional for the "cheeseburger" than they would for the "hamburger.' I'm assuming so since 5 Guys has the little burger, little bacon burger and little cheeseburger along with the regular ones which are the double patties. But I don't know if there is an actual price difference. I guess I could look and see...
Okay for 5 Guys by my house
Little Hamburger - $6.95 Little Cheeseburger - $7.65 Little Bacon Burger - $7.95 Little Bacon Cheeseburger - $8.65
So it appears they up-charge you $0.70 to add cheese to a hamburger, a dollar to add burned bacon and $1.70 to add bacon and cheese. All other toppings are free - lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, onions, condiments*, fresh (or grilled) jalapenos, fresh (or grilled) onions, fresh (or grilled) green bell peppers, fresh (or grilled) mushroom slices.
*They offer mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup, A-1 sauce, BBQ sauce hot sauce and relish as well.
actually impulse bought a pack of american cheese slices at the store this weekend. not sure what i'm going to do with them. i have some ham and bread as well.

Blaze has 9 votes. McAllisters has zero. Perhaps it’s revenge of kindergarten with pepperoni and cheese Domino’s fans not liking better crust or toppings. Maybe all voters are related to John Schnatter.
