I love it but agree. Fast casual is pricing itself out the last 2 years.

Lots of sit down burger joints with better burgers for cheaper.

Well, there's Lucky's right down the street, but I'm guessing you don't know

Don’t get drinks at fast places now. They are like $3. Just get cup for water.

I use my Sip and Save at Circle K, and bring my Polar Pop to fast food places.

yup. Way expensive. My favorite chain burger. But expensive.

1/23/23 11:59am

That’s my response everywhere right now. With inflation it’s hard to tell what things should cost.

I'm guessing that you paid about $5 each for the drinks. Another $3-4 for the

I just did a test order. In order for that to be $82, you all got bacon cheeseburgers and a drink. Add on lg fry is $76

They're not all the same. Easily accounts for variance. NOT EVERYTHING IS A

It's still just a burger and a drink dude, and one order of fries. It's stupid

Pretty sure the prices are displayed before purchase.

yep food should always have a fixed max price regardless of what's in it

Wrong. that’s not what we ordered. In fact, 4 of us got the junior.

1/23/23 12:19pm

I think my location might be a little more than average

1/23/23 12:21pm

Prices vary some by location

Yup. 5 Guys and Shake Shack have the best burgers, but $$$$.

Fast food soft drinks are highway robbery. That drink cost them < $0.25

I love it and go often, but absolutely hate their Coke pop machine. CokeZero taste horrible from it.

1/23/23 12:39pm

yeah, they were a fun novelty initially, but have proven to be far inferior to a normal drink machine w/ 8-10 options
