I was okay paying $10 for Five Guys, but I haven't been there in a while, so it might be $15 for a meal there now. But most of the chains like Chili's/Applebees have a basic burger for $8.99 and even a combo or two for $20 where you get a fries and soft drink. That's hard to beat even when you throw in a tip. Fast food has become incredibly expensive if you don't have a coupon or use the app to get a "deal". Burger King has a two whopper meal for $13.99 with drinks/fries, and two Whopper jr meal for $7.99 with fries but no drinks.
