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

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

Yup ... good but I hate paying steak prices for burgers.

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

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

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

supertux

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

I think my location might be a little more than average

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