    That depends very much where you live. Around me, 8-15 is a pretty standard range for decent sit-down places. You can pay more, but most places hit that range pretty squarely. Depending where you go, you can get burgers and the like for under $4, much better quality than fast food, but not sit down places.

    Wages here are pretty damned low, though, so they really can’t charge a lot and actually have business.

      I agree depends very much on where you live but anywhere where Burger King costs over $30 is going to be more expensive than the kind of areas you are talking about. That seems to be the underlying assumption in this thread at least.

        But that really isn’t true either because fast food has gotten quite out of control here as well.

        A large whopper meal at the closest place is almost $17. So you could easily hit $30 for 2.

          Dude a whopper meal doesn’t cost $17 anywhere. A cursory google search will show you that. The most expensive I see is $12 and that is 1 source. The rest run $6-$10 typically.

            Dunno what to tell you man, that’s what comes up here on the bk website. There’s a whole 2 locations within an hour of me. I don’t eat fast food and I’m not about to install their app just for this conversation, so but hey, let’s even say the $16.70 is a whole 20% higher than the actual price… that’s still like $14 for the large meal, which still puts it squarely within the $30/2 range.

              I tend to agree with @[email protected] , prices can vary wildly, in my area I’m closer to his 12ish bucks. This is for a large meal WITH cheese and bacon
