Most Overpriced Hamburger Joints In America: Shake Shack, Five Guys

As fast-food chains hike prices around the nation, one came out on top for being the priciest of all.

A new study found that Shake Shack received the most complaints for being overpriced, followed by Five Guys, which has been slammed for its “out of control” prices.

Earlier this year, Shake Shack raised menu prices by 3%, the burger chain’s CFO, Katie Fogertey, said during an investor call.

The New York Post has reached out to Shake Shack for comment.

The study, conducted by Preply, also found that celebrity-owned restaurants regularly received complaints about being overpriced — in particular, Gordon Ramsay’s.

The study comes amid price hikes at fast-food chains nationwide, which have customers irate.

Chipotle was the latest to suffer customers’ wrath, as former fans swore off the eatery due to skyrocketing prices, vowing to spend their money at competitors.

Meanwhile, a study revealed that McDonald’s prices have soared over 100%. The chain, however, argued that the findings were inaccurate.

“As the report itself notes, pricing is set by individual franchisees and varies by restaurant,” a company spokesperson told The Post at the time.
