Cheeseburger (double) at five guys is 4.89… OnlyBurger is marginally better in my opinion. I do like the truck concept though, seemed like a nice bunch of guys.

I agree. These prices seem in line with what Five Guys charges, and that is probably the closest comparison in terms of similarity of product.

$7 is a double cheeseburger ($8.50 combo). With the average Wendy’s combo somewhere around $6, I don’t think their prices are off-the-charts. That said, there are cheaper lunches.
It’s not like I’ll have the chance to check out the Only Burger any time soon, unless they start driving out to Morrisville at the noon hour.

They are now clearly aiming at Duke students – who will pay pretty much any amount for anything since campus food is absurdly expensive – rather than at the population at large.

Seriously, $7? Burgers from a truck are way cool. We had one before their earlier demise and it was good, but by no means killer. I like Dain’s better – I gotta say.

‘Best’ depends on your idea of what a burger should be, of course, but for my money, Buns backs up the hype. It’s my favorite burger around.

I’ve heard from a lot of people that Buns is a lot of hype and not all that great. Though when it comes to burgers you’re going to find just as many opinions on good burger as you will a good pizza or hot dog.

Just to tack on my two cents… good enough burger, but don’t think I would drop $7 (for a double w/ cheese, not even a combo) and wait in line for 20 minutes to get another one though.

yeah they actually raised their prices again. sad. maybe it’s to recoup the losses from when they were out of operation. hopefully we can look fwd. to $6.50 double combos after a few months, which honestly seems more appropriate for the food you’re getting.

I finally tried OnlyBurger today, and I agree it’s good but the level of hype is a little much. OnlyBurger is good but not great, and it’s at least teetering toward overpriced. If you want a GREAT burger + fries, make the not-so-long trip to Chapel Hill and try Buns (http://bunsofchapelhill.com/). Still, food out of a truck is a good thing… no complaints.
