Yup but that's Orlando for you!

Has it really become that expensive? I haven't been to the states for about a decade but even allowing for the exchange rate changes over the years, it was still always pretty cheap to eat out.

my brother had never had one so that was his choice

they have the meats you know

and its never affected me like taco bell thank god

[theplayingmantis]

How is your constitution for a white castle?!

re. prices I'm in LV next month first time post pandemic, and planning on some disgusting food at 3am. can we expect similar prices to those around orlando in the likes of mcd's?

[Trustmeimadoctor]

id say very much so especially as in vegas there is nowhere to get away to really as most down go away from the strip and freemont

im sure its better out boulder way the coffee cup there is good for breakfast the pork chilli verde is nice

i havent been to lv for about 5 years though


white castle didnt affect me either but there again that was only a try once thing



we had takeaway pizza one night 2x16" 2x11" and a salad that was about $109 collected not even delivered but it was good pizza from flippers

[theplayingmantis]

thanks, it never used to be too bad in taco bell/mcd's for post club/lounge drunchies, but all pre pandemic.

Looking at the prices of decent restaurants both on strip and downtown is an eye opener (i mean relatively they were always costly because of location but still just about reasonable, now even the likes of oscars have shot up) so assume takeaway has followed the same path.

Since when did the KFC twister wraps turn to st?

I remember really liking these. lettuce, tomato, peppery mayo. Now all they do is stuff it with a crappy red cabbage 'slaw. .

Glad I don't eat this muck. Made the mistake of ordering one a few years ago, 60 minutes later I had the stes

I mentioned this a while back and got shot down. They are really testing the elasticity of price - you gotta wonder when it'll snap..

Totally agree, when it was under a fiver I couldn't care less for the quality but at £7+ I expect something at least half decent. Que the people that eat at Five Guys etc jumping in and telling us we're cheapskates I do like McDonald's but they're taking the piss with their prices now.

They've been 'cheap' over the past few decades to drive customer loyalty. Now they're driving prices higher to generate the margin they want. Their competitive set isn't much cheaper (if at all). People will vote with their feet - it used to be an easy choice when out and about, it's not anymore.

[Kowalski655]

And I thought £12+ was bad for 2 bacon rolls and a double sausage and egg muffin!
Daft prices now, especially at breakfast.
I would have used the burger van in the nearby car park, but the tax dodging git only took cash

[RayDonovan]

Greggs are expanding massively. Interchangeable customer base and a similar offering, if not significantly cheaper (certainly for breakfast)

[Trustmeimadoctor]

Ended up at almost 10 at Greg's 2x sausage cheese bean and a cheese potato with a doctor pepper

I feel dirty

[The Gauge]

Five Guys does taste better but last time I went a burger fries & shake was £20. It was nice, but not £20 nice. I cant afford to just drop into a Five Guys with two kids for a decent price quick meal as that would be £60!!

And this is why McDonald’s cleans up when kids are involved especially young kids

[ambuletz]

i always buy the smallest fries option at five guys. They put so much in it might as well be the equivalent of 2-3 large fries from mcdonalds.

Wendy's single meal is same price as mcdees, and a lot tastier.
