I have never understood how five guys stays in business, literally one of the worst cheeseburgers I have ever had in my life and it cost more than the place down the street from me that uses all local ingredients.
I love 5 guys burgers, but it’s closer to a $6-8 burger than an $18 burger. The price doesn’t meet the quality. I haven’t been back in years because I can get a double at Culver’s for half the price.
culver’s actually is one of the worst burgers i’ve ever had. maybe they’re better in wisconsin, but the ones i’ve had elsewhere were bone dry and tasted burned every single time. and for being butter burgers, they sure are stingy with the butter. steak n shake had a butter burger before they went nazi that actually tasted like it had butter on it.
The first few times I had Culver’s I was very underwhelmed for the very reason you mentioned. I decided to try again and just go standard butter burger instead of the deluxe, and it’s been better every time. It doesn’t make sense because the only difference is the toppings, but it’s been true for me every time.
I’m near Wisconsin, so maybe there’s something to that. What I like about Culver’s is that they used to be the expensive option, but they seemingly haven’t raised there prices like everyone else. It’s reasonably priced for the quality imo.
I’m near a Freddy’s, but both times I’ve gone they’ve completely fucked up my order, and it’s more expensive than Culver’s that’s very near to it. Other than the more typically fast food like McDs, BK, etc… it’s the only real option for a quick burger around me.

20 years ago it was the best in the game. Rapid expansion and prioritizing profit over quality turned it to shit.
It was never the best, let alone good. It also is/was overpriced compared to competition.

I do think their chicken is good too.
The butter is for the bun, i think. I really only like them because they have an edible vegetarian option.
