Even getting the "little" burger at Five Guys I end up spending around $8. Getting the double burger at In-N-Out runs around $6. This includes drink and fries. Obviously you get more fries at Five guys but it is more of an order for two people to share.
Personally I don't think In-N-Out has anything to worry about.
Lots of my west coast friends swore by In-N-Out Burger, but me being from the east coast, it just seems different. The fresh cut from potato fries are just utterly disappointing in my opinion. Every time it just tastes like it's been sitting a bit too long in the fryer. And they don't serve much of it for a single portion. Five Guys serves you a more than generous portion, almost filling half a bag full of Five Guys Fries. The burger there doesn't blow me away, but it's quite good. For me though, I'll take Five Guys over In-N-Out any day.
