The fries are awesome, but they don't look good in the picture, maybe undercooked? Teh fries are usually perfect and they're bottomless, like the drinks. It's all in the topping combination for the burger. The toppings are all free but be careful not to overdo it and make a messy burger with competing flavors. I absolutely love the little cheeseburger (1 patty) with grilled mushrooms, green peppers, raw onions, jalepenos and barbeque sauce...Toppings that enhance the flavor of the burger.

They are full of potatoes that are used to make the fries. Condiments are all free--I'd recommend the A1 sauce. THE BAGS STACKED AROUND THE RESTAURANT ARE NOT FULL OF FRIES.

I have to agree with you, it's was a pricey burger, but it was good, at least the one I had in Orlando, maybe I will have to visit this one and do a comparison, see if they are consistent with their food/cooking.

Otherwise, Burger Burger time! :D raidar, supply and demand; the more we want something, prices will increase. It is the question of where is the breaking point. In this case, Five Guys went above that point. Had it been a couple of $$$ cheaper, it is possible I would have liked it a bit more. Lotusrapper, you mean Red Onion? It is in my to go list; the problem is that it is in the West Side, an area of Vancouver I don't go that often. I guess I will be going soon! (But, then, there is Nimby in the queue as well).
