Just had Five Guys for the first time ever today, and it was very good. Burger was better than In 'n' Out, and the fries were heavenly. I also heard AC/DC's "Let There Be Rock" in the dining room, which is a huge plus.
However, it cost me over $13 for a (bacon) burger, small fries, and small drink. While bacon is obviously extra compared to In 'n' Out, it was still like $5 more. It was definitely better, but not to the point where I'd consistently want to pay more for it if I were going to be eating at one or the other regularly.
Obligatory, because this is all I could think about when eating there:

I haven't gone to Five Guys since I was in college and had a roommate working there. Once you're used to getting something for free, paying for it just isn't an option. They did always have sweet tunes though. Guaranteed to hear some Led Zeppelin or Steve Miller Band or something similarly awesome.

The bacon cheeseburger by itself was over $7 on the menu board. Fries and drink were both over $2, for the smalls. You must either skip one of the items, or yours is a ton cheaper. I'm in Sacramento, California so maybe that makes a difference in price.

Yeah, Itlan must be going to the 5 Guys in Somalia or something. Here (D.C. area) a bacon cheeseburger is $7.99 and a small fries is $2.79.
When I go my price is usually near $15, but I get a bacon cheeseburger, large cajun fries, and a drink, so pretty much the most expensive stuff on the menu. Totally worth it, though.

You must be new. McCheese can put down 2+ Chipotle burritos and still not be full.
or maybe that's burrito bowls. Either way, he's the King.

It was 3 burrito bowls, and the only reason I didn't get a 4th was because it was right before Christmas and they were closing early for their Christmas party.
I honestly feel sorry for people like you who can eat so little. Where is the enjoyment in life? That stuffed feeling after a huge meal is just heavenly! I'm guessing you didn't see my epic cheat meal in the weight loss thread a month or so ago.

I don't see the enjoyment in eating a large quantity of shitty to average food compared to eating less of much higher quality food. This goes back to your shitty taste buds and thinking this:
tastes the same as this:
What you say about the enjoyment level of food goes right out the window. You even think all ice cream tastes the same.
