Five Guys

Great burgers, and healthy portion of fries.
What I like the most is the choice of toppings. Fried onions and mushrooms, simply awesome.
I have had these burgers before in Vancouver and in Née York. Always a good burger.

Yummy but pricy. The burgers have a nice beefy flavour and texture. The topping choices are great and included in the price. The fries are fresh and crisp. My kids love the peanuts that are free to shell and eat-​messy fun!

Great service, wonderful location and awesome burgers!!! Everything is «made to order» and fresh. The staff is friendly and always so helpful. Love there burgers and there fries are so yummy. Every time I am craving a burger, this is my go to place. Will be back again and again.

I really used to like this place but they’ve cut back on the serving size of the fries. A bacon double cheeseburger is ~$ 10, so to have them getting thrifty with their previously generous fries has put me off. Decent burgers but the value just isn’t there any more.

Same good five guys burgers. Quality and consistent food for a decent price. Not much else to say…
**Update** The parking lot where Five Guys is located is terrible. I head over there because I want a burger but end up leaving without one because the parking lot is so cramped, this happens a lot. You have to go during slow hours to get in there.

1^st timers at 5 Guys Burgers, heard all the hype about it and had to try!
We came here about 920pm one Fri night (Royal Oak location) to share a hamburger some some fries to go. With a pop it came to around $ 11.
There was only one other customer inside — I think they close at 10pm.
The food is made to order which is great but be prepared to wait for your food. There was only one gal working in the open kitchen space until a manager or the like loudly prompted her to SHUT IT DOWN after we were served while reminding her that it was almost 930pm near quitting time. I guess they wanted to just get out of there but it could have been relayed more discreetly. Customers never want to feel like a burden when supporting a business.
We must have waited 20 minutes minimum for our simple burger order.
We were prepared for a lot of fries due to the other helpful reviews, so yes, get a small, they do fill your bag right up!
The complimentary peanuts are amazing here. I swear they are soaked in a salt brine, making them deliciously addictive!
One tip — do not opt for mushrooms on the burger unless you are eating it immediately. They make the bun very soggy.
Overall the taste was great and the fries were so good with their skins on. Hubby wanted the cajun spice but I could have done without that. They do not need it IMO, just the salt.
Love the free unlimited burger toppings (2 patties for the reg burger, 1 patty for the small)
Great location for a burger joint and overall would recommend. Just be prepared to wait for your food.

I’m a minority in my family when I say 5 guys is OK but I tried it again when it opened up close to my home.
The likes:
Free peanuts — I’d never buy a bag of peanuts at the grocery store and sit at home and shell them but for some reason that’s a draw in a burger joint for me.
Bag Fries — they purposefully give you bag fries (they have bag fries measuring bowls that they use to measure out the bag fries for each size of serving). This means the sizing is completely irrelevant when looking at the packaging. I think a large will feed like 4 people?! There still is something about bag fries that make them the best — why is that still the same when half the order is bag fries? I dunno.
The dislikes
For vegetarians, they don’t have a veggie burger per say. The option is a grilled veggie sandwich with or without cheese.
The cheese. I love my cheese but this cheese is just too processed and melts into globs. I find it required to hold my veggies together (no patties for me — boo) but I dislike any bite with lots of it.
Overall I will go here sometimes. I know it’s amazing for many people and I like it better than say burger king but it’s not nearing the tops of any of my lists.

Brand spankin’ new location close to my house — is this real life?!
We had a great experience here. Due to the place just opening, there was only one other group while we were there, so it cut down on our wait time significantly. Its also very clean, as the peanut shells haven’t accumulated all over the floors yet!
Our burgers were delicious, the employees were fun and took great care of us. I’ll definitely be back, I love Five Guys!
