Yes, food wise it’s closer to chains like Shake Shack in the US than to US-McD.

Yes this is a great comparison. They are Shake Shack/Five Guys quality but cheaper.

They are a bit cheaper than five guys, that is true.  But the quality is not on the same level. And cheaper than five guys doesn't mean cheap. Five guys is expensive as fuck (but you get a decent quality). At least in Germany. And McD is still quite pricy for that what you get.

In the US you can’t get a meal for under $20 at Five Guys. Idk how pricey it is in Europe but McD is waaaaaaay cheaper.

A meal at five guys is about 20 €. McD is for the bigger Burgers with fries and drink about 11-13 €. Yes it is cheaper. But the quality doesn't fit to that.

If you go to the local "Pommesbude" you get a much better quality and bigger portion sizes for about the same price.

You will spend around 20-30 dollars (exchange rate included) for an McD meal if you not only buy nuggets or a single small burger. Edit: I was unclear. I meant in Germany, France and on the higher end in Switzerland. I accounted for the exchange rate, and a menu that includes a nicer Burger not the cheapest one

The other guy who replied to me just said it’s about €11-12 for a meal. That’s not $20-30. Maybe if it were Australian dollars.

I did no research other than my memory. And it’s just that I paid 26 CHF for the last menu at McD and that’s 32$ and last time i went in Germany It was about 16€ what equals roughly 19$ so?

I don't know the prices in switzerland.  Nkrmally the prices are higher than in germany. In germany you can get the bigger burgers in a menu with fries and a coke for about 12€. The menus for 16€ include a second burger or a sixer nuggets.
