    They sell burgers. They’re better than McDonald’s and Burger King. Maybe a bit better than Sonic or Dairy Queen. Not as good as Five Guys.

      Five Guys isn’t in the same category as other fast food chains at all IMHO.

      Five Guys provides a different quality of food at a much higher price than McD’s, Burger King, In N Out, etc. If the taste/quality is even close between Five Guys and the others listed, no one should ever consider going to Five Guys it’d be overpriced.

      Wendy’s is in the ‘lower cost fast food’ category, not the ‘over the counter burger’ category.

        5 guys is like $20 for a burger lol, they are extremely overpriced, and not really fast now that I think of it either. But yea, I’d agree Wendy’s is better than most “drive thru fast food”, but not quite as good as 5 guys.

          That’s probably the reason they chuck so many fries and peanuts at you. I do like 5 guys but it definitely is a bit overpriced.

        Fine, let’s talk regional chains then. Better than white castle, not as good as in-n-out or whataburger. Unless we’re talking about fries, because in-n-out’s fries are soggy fried disappointment.

      Wendys hasn’t been “better” than McD’s for at least 15 years. 80s and 90s Wendys was next level. 00s was the decline, 10s were the bottom out years and they’ve never recovered.
