Five Guys — Restaurant in Mount Pleasant

I grill burgers and steaks every summer. I cook it a lot, actually, so I know what the prices are like for ground beef, potatoes, etc. Even before the pandemic, every time I went into Five Guys, the price would increase. It never made any sense. They just felt like because the place was popular, they could keep charging more. It used to be a must-go every time I went out of town. Then it turned into a treat. Now, it's like, do I go to the fancy steakhouse or gourmet restaurant or do I go to Five Guys? LOL.

I think they're at the breaking point now. Their basic burger is like $8 and their most expensive burgers are like $12 or $13 now. Ground beef is like $5 a pound, less if you buy in bulk, I presume. Potatoes are even less. I made burgers for a month in college for what I pay for an average Five Guys meal now. Back in 2004. The price for those box of burgers has not increased much at all.

I predict in time, after numerous Five Guys go out of business, they will start offering $5 burgers or $7 meals to get business back, by which time it will be too late. If you really want good burgers for cheap, cook yourself or head to Dearborn or Chicago. Dearborn is becoming a huge burger haven now and is way better than the Five Guys chain now at a much better price. This chain will be like Quiznos and go under very soon. They probably will be bought out by someone with a brain, I'm thinking.

BTW, I've been asking their corporate to add banana pepper rings for a long time. They refuse to listen to me. It just shows how arrogant they are. You can get them in Canada at fast food chains but Five Guys won't stoop to...

Five Guys Mega Overpriced Burgers and Fries. We finally got a Five Guys near the Saginaw area after about a decade. The prices when they first opened in Detroit were pretty decent and fair. Over time, it's just gotten ridiculous. A little bacon cheeseburger is $6.49 and a regular bacon cheeseburger is $8.49. You're paying $2 extra for ONE beef patty! If you don't cook, a pound of beef in this area is about $3, cheaper if you consider Five Guys buys in bulk. Don't even get me started on the fries. They're good, so it's worth it though. The burgers honestly aren't even remarkable. I make better burgers at home on my grill.

If you live in Detroit or Chicago, or maybe out west in LA and Las Vegas, you can find better burger places that are way cheaper than Five Guys. In and Out gets my business every time I go out west, it's awesome and prices are always reasonable. The goof running Five Guys thinks he can just make up prices and keep people coming. I predict this place is going to crash hard in a few years when they've opened up everywhere and people stop paying the...

1st time visiting a 5 guys ever and boy did they knock it out of the park first off the location is next to a place called insomnia cookies I mean that right there is awesome the parking lot was clean and not crowded the entire restaurant was very bright, clean and well stocked being 1st timers the staff was very helpful and very friendly we were able to easily get exactly what we wanted and btw the food was deliciously made fresh with no frozen meat and we could taste the difference the food portions are very generous a regular french fry can feed 2-3 adults and the burgers are very large as well especially if you get your burger with every topping they have at no extra charge (all the way) they had free peanuts for while you wait for your food and the soda machine also peaked my interest it's one of those customize your fountain drink with a variety of flavors, some of our favorites is strawberry/cherry/grape sprite, vanilla with root beer and even on our way out they wished us well we'll definitely stop in again and I'd...
