Where do you live that $15 for burgers/fries is outrageous? Or have you not looked at Red Robins prices recently? Mine is $15 for burger/fries, def not cheaper including tip. Five Guys tastes way better than Red Robin too.

I do think it's a lot but fast food and chain restaurants in general have been really expensive for 5+ years, and went up around 50% in the last 2 years for obvious reasons. You're paying for familiarity with them, and to some extent speed. But they've been slow for 5+ years too. McD and Wendy's and BK and such are all $10-15 meals nowadays. Popeyes is relatively cheap still, but sooooo slow. Cookout is still the best, cheap and fast.

I have a local place where you can get a whole chicken that you just saw roasting on a fire in front of you with 2 sides for $12, and it comes out in less than 5 mins. That's what competes with Five Guys more than anything.
