Just walked out of 5 Guys

[dusty200001]

This is a timely subject because the wife and I walked out of the local Wild Wings cafe this afternoon. She had heard so much about it and I have too, so we decided to try it out. I figured they would have a lunch time menu and they did, but nothing on there she was interested in. She looked over the rest of the menu and saw nothing that hit her fancy. We were expecting to see a lunch combo of maybe a few wings and a small salad for $10 or so. I was gonna try the lunch AYCE wing bar for $14 but she was determined she wanted to get out of there so we did.

Wings are high. No more cheap wing options.

Five guys did everything right except put seasoning on the burger. My favorite restaurant burger was Rafertys but Covid closed it down before we moved.
There is a five guys near my job, so next time a vendor is footing the bill, I may give them another try

Too much seasoning on a burger ruins it for me. I love that ground beef flavor as is. I put salt, pepper, and a tiny bit of granulated garlic on mine before cooking. I want it on the outside instead of mixed in with the meat, too.

I agree, they just had zero. No salt or anything. Could have been the one I tried.
It’s been a good while since I have had any fast food burger other than Wendy’s. Wendy’s made some changes I didn’t like too.

I used to say “ why pay those prices when Mexican sit down is $16 for two people. Mexican is running $30 plus now and Chinese? Forget about it. It’s $40+

Mexican used to be the cheapest but it's getting expensive now.

I probably don’t eat out ten times a year.

Me and the wife ate sit down Mexican last week after a doc appt. in Dothan at our go to . It was $20 for the both of us and we were stuffed. I will call that a deal today and delish too.

Wings have been too high for a long time. I remember happy hour/ "wing night special" at 10 cent wings, then a quarter, then fifty cents, I was still eating them at 75 cents, breaking a buck was the last straw. I make them at home occasionally when whole wings are on sale at $3 a lb or less.

That was still $4-5 3-5 years ago and with a large Coke. The fries were the most expensive item.

Let's go brandon.

Guess you don't have a 401K

Every place is sky high but 5 Guys was overpriced several years ago.

I like the ‘OL Cook Out pretty good. Decent burger and very fair pricing on a plate deal. Definitely nothing special, but what fast food is really?

Yep. Usually when I eat something like that is when I’m on the road going somewhere.

My favorite burger place lately is Culver’s. Very good burger.

We tried it a few months ago. It was good but the cooked fresh when ordered had some struggles with the new slow workforce. I heard the fish sandwich is great too, but I had a burger

Only time we eat fast food stuff is while traveling. Chick-fa-la is my choice for fast food. And for burgers, we go to the BOGO burger night at a neighborhood restaurant, Friends. They are good along with the best fries ever.

When you look on the cooking board on here it makes all those restaurant burgers look boring .

Ya'll done talked us into grilling some burgers tonight.
