Our MS concerns aside, Five Guys really needs to stop raising prices. I am noticing the restaurants becoming less and less busy at what should be peak times on the occasional times I do one of these shops. Doing one of the first time in two months today actually.

Removing the drink $2.49...It's about $10.00 (pre-tax) for SMALL burger and fries.
I think that's definitely a little too pricey. Maybe anything under $7-8 would draw more people. I've seen no change in business at my locations, though.
For $13.91, I'd rather eat at Texas Roadhouse on Wednesday night for their $9.99 8 oz. sirloin. We like to go on Wednesdays when I take their shops. That way, you can get two steaks and an appetizer and be under the $35.00 reimbursement.
But, yeah, the value of a TXRH dinner for $10.00 (with unlimited bread) is way better than FG to me if eating on my own dime.

I began the shop at 12:30 today and was the ONLY person in the restaurant for all but the last 5 minutes of the time I was there.
Only time I saw the manager was towards the end, telling a crew member they could go home early. Hey, that's leadership!

I used their app (website works also) to check prices and am not sure how anyone can go over reimbursement ordering a plain single patty burger, small fries and regular fountain drink? I choose to add bacon and at 6% tax spend about 13.30.

Five Guys are closing one by one in my area. So many burger chains out there now. Their prices are somewhat on the higher side. My biggest complaint is they have not changed their menu ever. It just gets boring after awhile. I usually order veggie sandwich and check for the quality. Take one bit and throw it out.

The Five Guys locations near me are never very busy anytime I’ve gone in. I really think the food is not that great, and the menu needs to be updated, which isn’t likely to happen. I think the way the assignment is written gives good evidence of that, that we are to judge the flavor of the food based on the way they make it and not on how it tastes to an average palette.
Beside that, it is a spendy shop. I rarely take them.

For me, it's not the food, but more the price personally.
