The real danger is the outrageous prices.

Yes

You can go with the Cajun ones instead though which are 50% spicy salt

I don't think I've ever had them over-salt their fries. A few times they've under-salted to the level there was none on, but that's what the salt packets are for.

I'm guessing for the OP's case, the person doing fries didn't know the best way to judge how much to use.

This. Fries are ok, burgers aren't that good, imo. A burger, fries, and a drink cost about $17 here

Exactly. The food is good but the prices are ridiculous.

I'm not a fan of their fries. All I can taste is the peanut oil when I eat them. The burgers are top notch though.

I like their burgers and fries, but they are too expensive.

<p url2image_parsed="1">This. You can get an equally good burger almost anywhere for half the price. Also, its oily as fuck.

I was brushing them off and there was still too much salt. It's kind of funny the amount of bad reviews they are getting only because of the salt.

Ya, it was almost $20 for a burger fries and a shake. I can go to the Red Robin or Texas road house across the street for less. And all the fast food in the area are almost half the price.

I didn't know they had Cajun. Next time I go I'll give them a shot.

I've had burgers from all the major players and I do prefer 5 guys burgers, but they aren't worth the price.

That is my main complaint. I love the Cajun style, but the fries are so oily half the Cajun seasoning ends up on my fingers, in the bag, and all over my napkins.

Also the price, burger and fries are supposed to be cheaper fast food, not $17 for a meal. I can go to a local chain and get the same meal for half the price, and it is arguably much better.

I love their free peanuts.

I'd go more if I had more money...
