Steak 'n Shake Taunts Five Guys With $17.76 Liberty Meal as X Post Hits 1.5 Million Views

Summary
Steak 'n Shake used a July promotion for two $17.76 Liberty Meals to jab Five Guys on X, writing, "Can't touch this, Mr. Five Guys..."
The meal includes a double grass-fed Steakburger, beef tallow fries and a Patriot Milkshake, tying the offer to America’s 250th birthday celebration.
1.5 million views and nearly 1,000 comments pushed the post viral, with users split between praising the value, criticizing the price and arguing Five Guys still has better food.
The exchange also highlighted Steak 'n Shake's smaller footprint, as commenters noted missing local locations after the chain closed about 200 restaurants between 2018 and 2025 during a broader turnaround.
Five Guys has not publicly responded, while Steak 'n Shake continues its patriotic pricing campaign with a $2.50 Patriot Milkshake through 2026.
