To me you just hit the nail on the head - the biggest draw is price.
Not a knock on anyone but the difference between $10 and $20 is huge for a meal. I am not rich but live comfortably, and have been fortunate enough to survive a hostile economy and job market.
A big complaint with McDonalds too is the prices are rising and the quality is lowering even further to combat the profit loss. Still Cheaper than 5 guys but..
You must live in a high cost area - cause I pay around $18 for 2 double hamburgers, small fry and reg sized soda. Granted I don't get cheese and no extra toppings except lettuce tomato onion and light mustard, but the double burger is less than $6.00 here.
Shit now I am hungry.
I would describe my financial position the same as yours in that regard. Problem is I have to deal with Manhattan prices where everyone is much more expensive. Five Guys is very expensive here unfortunately.
