Went last week, and the cheeseburger is now $6.99, and the small fries $3.29 — the menu says $3.99 but I was charged less. The large fries are $4.99.

When they first opened, a cheeseburger and small fries ran $9.76 with tax. Now it’s $11.15, and if they really are going to charge $3.99 for a small fries… well, that’s just Burger Joint prices. Cafe 75 on 51st St. gives a damn good cheddar burger and fries for $8. Sorry, Five Guys.

dainobu the japanese deli/grocery was starting to become my regular spot b/c of its dirt cheap prices (i noticed cafe zest a few doors down seems to have been hurt by the competition and their selection is laughably limited now) – but dainobu totally raised their prices as of this week! My jam was the large soba salad with mixed greens and homemade dressing for 3.99 – then id grab a side like a spicy tuna riceball or stop by cafe zest for a curry pan pastry but i went a couple days ago and the salad is now 5.99! that’s two whole dollars and their bento prices all went up around that much too. it just sucks because before i discovered dainobu, i was a regular at cafe zest (b/c besides dainobu’s salad, zest had better quality and more variety of bentos) – but now zest is dying and dainobu is priced as much as zest with trashier bentos. i have a limit of $7 for lunch b/c i can’t justify not just packing lunch if im spending more than that amount. anyhow – just another place to flag for having the nerve to so brazenly raise their prices like this.

if they raise the price of the fries, maybe they can learn how to consistently make it good. sometimes it’s not as crispy/well-done

Ridiculous! I urge a formal boycott–and a protest! Time TBD!

The greater injustice remains their inability to cook a rare burger.

What did Geithner and Obama know, and when did they know it?
