Even McDonald’s is expensive now

No

That's not true

We cook them on a grill (just burgers) and then the move to the line to be dressed

If you tell the staff your order number and tell them she's allergic to onions (I know it's a tiny fib) they will not only make sure it goes nowhere near the onions (they'll take it off the line) but they'll wash their hands too-gets rid if any that are on their hands

We take allergies very seriously

If you don't want to go down the allergy route,just ask a member of staff and they'll make sure no onion goes near it

I have been known to follow burgers down the kitchen so I know it's ok

This was my immediate reaction - I've been to a Five Guys once and spent the same as I could in our 'proper' home cooked restaurant up the road.

McDonald's has gone up, but at least has offers and a choice of small things (we tend to stop on long journeys when there isn't much choice).

I would not put 5 guys in the same bucket as MacDonalds though. I would put them more like Nando's.

Five Guys at least serve you your body weight in fries.

Following this thread I went on BK app and have seen plant whopper is no longer there!!! WTF

More reasons to boycott it.

Is it true that burgers are being cooked ontop of onions now?

My daughter has an eating disorder and won't eat her plain burger is there's a single onion on it.

There are loads though, about 200 and more coming, and it’s really expensive compared to McDonald’s.

I work at a Maccies

Keep your receipt and at the top,there is a website address-it takes you to a survey (use the code just underneath to fill it out-its very clear)

Fill it out and you'll get a code for a big mac/sandwich/mcplant (may be more,but I've just woken up and can't remember) and chips for £2.99 (so about half price)

We love you as we are always getting nagged about getting people to fill them in and you get a cheaper burger and chips

Keep your new receipt and do it again-there are no limits (apart from having to buy the first meal,but if you where to ask a member off staff for someone elses old one,I don't think they'd refuse-i do it all the time)

It's one per person but nothing to stop anyone using a few codes at a time-this may be available on the app but that's beyond me as I've never used it

Are you in Ireland, OP? Everything is shockingly dear there at the moment!

If anyone likes McDonald's breakfast Tim Hortons do a much nicer version sand before 11am if you buy a drink you can get any breakfast menu item for £1!

I can think of 4 locally!

Some other similar fast food places are double what Maccies cost though, as I found out at the weekend!

Most of us in the UK don't have a 5 Guys near us anyway.....

I have fond memories of McDonald's.of old.

Going in on my way home from.work, tired and hungry. Looking on the rack at the back and seeing what was ready.soni could get them quick and leave. You could feast on the junk for £5 N
and be home in time for Buffy or Due South.

I hate the modern world, it's just shit.

I’ve taken the 2 kids plus their friends a few times recently for quick pre cinema tea. Either get a 20 nugget share box or a cheeseburger each with a couple of large fries to share and it’s only about £10 for the 4 of them to share. I take them a refillable water bottle each, some chopped up fruit in boxes and a bag of homemade popcorn with a few skittles or M&Ms for the show so they don’t need loads but it’s probably more than they’d get in a happy meal anyway

Exactly what I was thinking.

There's no reason it 'SHOULD' be more expensive.

Thinking about getting a burger, fries and a milkshake? Don’t bother, you may as well take out a mortgage!

I love Five Guys but I can only justify having it a few times a year for this very reason

A hash brown is now £1.49! For one hash brown! I can’t eat breakfast as much there anymore it’s just too expensive as I prefer to just have six hash browns rather than a McMuffin or whatever.

We don’t go to McD but will occasionally go to BK. We will now only go if there are offers on the app eg 2 x whopper meals for 9.99. Maybe go once every couple of months

Why some of us can regulate our diet without the government forcing it on us. A treat McDonalds should be competitive which for its quality it currently isn't.

I do like the filet o fish though which isn't on the saver menu I don't think

The coffee is decent and still the cheapest though. Although I only have black coffee, it was 99p a year ago and £1.39 now. But still. And it’s usually the only place open at 7am while I’m waiting for my train.

I usually buy from the Saver menu as I prefer the food on there to the bigger fancy burgers

Some of the items on the saver menu aren't too bad, double cheeseburger for £2.20, medium fries for £1.49. Don't forget though if you have the audacity to want tomato sauce with your chips they charge extra for that too now 🙄

I just buy those two items and bring a bottle of coke from the supermarket in my bag. No one's ever said anything.
