Restaurant burger prices have increased approximately 14 percent since 2023, with some areas seeing burgers cost $30 or more.
Restaurant burger prices have risen by 14 percent since 2023 as Americans continue to deal with higher costs for dining out.
According to Datassential’s Burger Price Index, restaurant burger prices have increased approximately 14 percent since 2023. Beef production costs have risen by nearly 44 percent over the same period, according to the Washington Post.
The widening gap has left restaurants absorbing the higher costs rather than passing the full increase to customers. However, the industry could see prices rise even more at a time when consumers are already complaining.
