9.21 with (well above average) fries + tip (I'm including tip because obviously you're tipping in a bar but not at 5guys)? That amount of food, if you're familiar with the size of the regular-doubles and regular fries, puts you in food-coma territory. You're also getting it in ~ 10 minutes. I'm guessing you can find that in some fly-over state bars, but slim-to-none chance you're getting that in most places.
I've never been to an in-n-out, but 5 guys seems to be firmly in between a good-restaurant burger and the top of the true fast food restaurants, and the price seems to reflect that fairly, IMO.
