Not in the West Coast. Both are about ~7 for the base burger and cap out at about ~12 for the highest menu item without extras.

50 USD for 2 people to eat at five guys. Case closed

...about $30, you mean. I mean if you're trying to go for 2k+ kcal per person you'd hit 50+,but a normal person would have a hard time eating more than 15$ of five guys.

Or maybe you think a "cheeseburger" is too big. Let me get you the smallest combinations of fry+burger+drink on the whole menu. $17.30 here.

Or maybe you are fat and want large fries, burger and a shake. $25.11

That's a full 3$ more than it is on the West Coast. Sorry you guys have a higher cost of living.

More expensive in Atlanta than the one I linked.

Dallas TX has even higher prices than atlanta.

No idea what kind of "west coast" area you're in that things are cheap. Usually COL is nuts there... but the coast is thousands of miles so...

...those areas are not on the West Coast. Pull up Portland and cry.

Been there. Cheaper than Boston but not really cheap.

Image is from 8 months ago of the 1200 NE Broadway, Portland, OR 97232 location. It's 9.99 for a cheeseburger. 4.49 for a little fry. 2.09 for a regular drink. $16.57 even considering 0% sales tax in portland.
