I genuinely do not get all their hype. It's just a smash burger with standard fries covered in Cajun seasoning. Anyone can make them. But people are paying the same there as they would a really nice sit down restaurant. That's crazy

    There is no way a domestic burger costs just 2 euros.

  2. Illustrious-Vast-292

    You can’t possibly make that for only $2.

  3. ssmit102

    The irrational hate here for five guys is a bit absurd.

    Also saying it’s a $2 burger when you’ve clearly bought a lot more ingredients than that misleading at best.

  4. Opposite-Picture659

    Not anyone can make em and definitely not $2

    Seeing as how you called Five Guys a “smash burger” and lied about what it cost you to make your own it’s clear you don’t know what you’re talking about and your opinion is irrelevant.

    Say what you want about five guys, I think the quality of the food, the fact it’s always piping hot, drinks refills, ***the mayo*** and the restaurants actually being decent enough to *want* to eat in make it pretty attractive for only about 60% more than McDonald’s

    But how much do your milkshakes cost? Do they bring the boys to the yard?

  8. thatcollegeguy21

    Nowhere near $2 but a good burger nonetheless.

    If it is $2, I need the cost breakdown right meow.

    Where’s your fries and shake?

    Great looking burger, but that beef alone is already 2 euro or more. Probably cost at least 5 to make that at home

  11. useless_modern_god

    I don’t know anything about 5 guys and of course it’s always cheaper to make your own food, but, that is a damn fine looking burger. 10/10

    This looks so good, I will pay you the £34 – address in your dms 😅

    Five guys and your pricing calculator aside, that burger looks really really good. Love that you put jalapeños on it!!

    You have to include the costs of your utilities, rent/mortgage, property taxes, salary equivalent for time spent cooking, amortized cost of appliances, pans, utensils, etc….on top of the cost of the bare ingredients to even begin to make a price comparison. Restaurant food costs more money because they have fixed costs that must be factored into the price in order to keep the doors open.

    $46 to some people is like $2 to you.

    Stay humble.

  16. Ok-Economy4041

    Paid that yesterday at Shake Shack – $46. Sheesh.

    I’m so sick of these Five Guys hate posts. It’s just blind karma farming. Your burger looks nice, but your post is ruined by making a stupid equivalency that doesn’t exist.

  18. Just to be clear. Two single patties no bacon, one small fry and one milkshake? I’m calling bs on this price, what store was it?

    Two of everything and yeah it’ll probably be close to $46. But why are you comparing a burger, fries and a milkshake to the one burger you made at home? Besides trying to karma farm

  19. burger_saga

    You really brought out the haters with this post

  20. GhostWithATommyGun

    I don’t care what these people are squawking about, just drop the recipe/instructions on recreating that beauty 🙏

  21. theamp18

    What? You mean you can make food at home and it’s cheaper than buying it at a store. I’m shook right now.

  22. ghostmaster645

    I get 5 guys for myself on my birthday.

    I know everyone says I can just make it at home but ive tried dozens of times and its not the same. Might be mental at this point, idc.

    Its overpriced as hell though. For sure.

  23. RhubarbAgreeable7

    How long did it take?

    Buying, prepping, cooking?

  24. Five guys is a bit expensive but they’re great. Also they aren’t smash burgers. Also the way you’ve compared the prices is legit funny because it’s incredibly misleading

  25. Firemission13B

    Five guys is amazing. The price is the reason why ive only had it maybe 4 times total.

  26. Strange-Spinach-9725

    Are you having a laugh? That’s a well gob choice if I was hungry. That’s a proper meal for 2 or 3. Are you trying to rip the Mickey me?
