Not surprising. I have never once eaten at our 5 guys place. I have never seen it very busy there. I guess their high prices at enough to keep them going, at least for now.
I’m one of the few who isn’t enamored with 5 Guys. I’ve eaten there at least a dozen times, and it’s average to me. I go because others want to eat there, and it’s not bad enough for me to protest. Value proposition is average, but better than fast food.
Their burgers are fresh, which is a major plus. But, I find them to be a bit flavorless and no better than I can do at home, which is the main reason I go to a restaurant.
I do really like their fries, though. My favorite way consume fries is the way they do it...thick cut fried in peanut oil.

The burger prices are comparable to McDonalds. The problem for me is convenience. I need drive-thru speed.
I’ll never understand the 5 Guys and other trendy burger joint phenomena...how hard is it to get a pound of freakin’ ground beef and a couple potatoes and cook ‘em yourself?
