Five Guys Burgers and Fries

Burgers and spicy fries are really good. Music is VERY loud. EXPENSIVE

Fantastic fresh burgers made to your liking. Very awesome. Love the whole peanuts at the table thing that they do.

Great service, tasty burgers and pretty clean. I’ve only ever had take out and by the time I get home the bread is always a bit soggy. Still worth it. Burgers and fries are made fresh which is great.

Ok so it’s definately more expensive then a standard fast food burger place but the burgers are hella good in this nice greasy way, they aren’t these frozen pattys like most fast food places, look pretty darn fresh to me, and cooking the fries in peanut oil gives them what seems to be less a heavy feeling in my tummy after i’ve eaten like a TON of them, definately somthing to try once if you havent gone yet.

First time here, great experience! Fast, friendly service. We got 2 little bacon cheeseburgers, regular fries, and regular pop. Very filling, go for the little burgers if you don’t want to be super full you can’t breath! All toppings are free like grilled onions, jalapeños, etc. Soft drinks have free refills too. You can also have some peanuts you can help yourself too when you come in the door. For all this food it came up to $ 23 but I would gladly pay this again because it’s quality good and super tasty. They also give you a extra scoop of fries in the bag on top of whatever size fries you choose! So let’s say you get a regular fry, it’s enough for two people. Give it a try!

Burgers at this place are always fresh and filling. You don’t get the truly obscene amount of fries that you used to get, but there are way more than enough to round out your meal.
When you eat in, the drink refills are free, so you might as well have a seat and enjoy!

Great burgers. I’ve tried the downtown Toronto young location and now east gwillimburry location. Exactly the same and good burgers. Today I went with the Mimi which was more than enough. Made to order as was hot and juicy. Nothing fancy — just burgers oh and hot dogs

So I love burgers, but rarely try these new-​fangled burger joints as I usually prefer something else. This time though we were in Newmarket and the place was right next to the Mastermind store, so we thought we’d give it a shot.
The place is very sparsely decorated, but was quite large and very busy, though this was on a Friday night so perhaps that’s expected. There are stories on the wall about the chain having the ‘best $ 5 burger’ you can buy. Interestingly enough, the burgers start at $ 7 (unless you count their tiny ‘little burger’). I guess inflation has run rampant in the few years since they started out?
Ordering was quick though took probably 10 minutes for the order to arrive. In the meantime, they offer self-​serve peanuts (in shell) to munch on, which was kinda nice. And they proudly proclaim that their fries are cooked in 100% peanut oil as well. Needless to say, if you’re allergic, steer clear — very clear — of this establishment!
I didn’t try the fries but opted for the regular burger with all the trimmings. I found it good not great — the burger tasted nice and ‘real’ — like the ones I make at home, but the shape/​thickness seemed inconsistent. I’m not expecting a uniform patty, but these seemed a big on the extreme side of inconsistent. Anyways taste-​wise, bun good, meat good, toppings good. Everything good. But anything great? Not really. It was kinda meh. For $ 5, this would’ve been 4 stars. But for $ 7? I find it hard to find a reason to come back. For my money, I still think Hero Burger is a better choice. Though maybe I’ll swing back and try the fries sometime.

Simply the best burgers and fries! Newmarket needed some better options for good burgers, now I don’t want to go anywhere else. Burgers are fresh made with any toppings included. Fries are fresh cut with very generous portions — regular size will feed two just fine. I had heard portions were very large so I found it very helpful to let them know it was my first time. They explained everything and suggested sizes and it was just right. I also love the free peanuts to munch on while you’re waiting for your order. Great quality burger, cooked perfectly, with the best tasting fries I’ve had. No need to look any further for a fresh and fast burger and real fries, this place is it!

Burgers and fries at their best. Staff is great. Friendly and helpful. Been a customer since they opened. Newmarket needed a good burger joint and here it is.

The funny youtube videos… the whispered talk in dark alleys about a new type of burger. A burger made from never-​frozen meat, delivered fresh everyday. A growing disturbance in the force being contributed to something called Five Guys Burgers and Fries. Wait… why does it take five guys? Oh my goodness oh my dayum. :)
Anyways… so myself and a buddy ventured north to the northern tip of Newmarket to to sink our carnivorous jaws into a five guys burger.
First impressions:
These guys definitely SCREAM the fact that they are award winners. The entire restaurant/​fast food diner was pasted with quotes from magazines and newspapers stating how awesome they were. Well, if you got em. show em.
The whole grill area is pretty open and you can see what they are doing.
Ordering:
I had to ask some questions, because yes… no combos. So ordered the bacon cheese burger (which is actually two patties. if you order the small burger, comes with one patty), with medium fries and a medium drink (since you fill your own drink and refills are included). You tell them all the toppings right there, and they make it for you.
$ 18 total… whoa!!! for a burger, fries and a coke… holy snap. Okay. well, the place has the hype, so let’s try it out.
Got the drink and sat down, as you have to wait for your order number to be called. Comes in plain paper brown bag, and the fries were definitely overflowing and delicious. and Spicy… the fries DO bite back!
So, open up this burger that seems to be wrapped in grocery store aluminum foil. It is smaller than what I expected, but I take a bite… it’s a good burger. Yes, has that homemade taste and is delicious.
But, my socks remained on… and my jaw did not go slack in amazement.
But, yes, it’s a tasty burger.
So, even though I mentioned it is not large… and I can eat a phenomenal amount of food, I notice that when I am finished this medium size double patty burger… I am well stuffed. So, I feel that the quality definitely packs a punch. Weird that I was that full after this burger and fries… Happy with the result.
Overall… it is a good burger, but I do find the price tag a little big high for that. Most of the time, if it’s 18 dollars for burgers and fries… it should come with a nice cold pint!
So, it’s good yes… it’s a cool experience yes… you should try it yes… you will like it yes, but I find the whole package a little high on the $ for what you are getting.

Fun and loud diner style restaurant, with the traditional red/​white checker design.
When you first enter the place, you’ll see bags and bags of potato piled up. A box of peanuts by the entrance to help yourself while you wait for your order. The service is impeccable, from ordering to eating (the servers come around asking how everything is)
The food is excellant. The burgers are juicy and the bun is just right (nothing too crusty or mushy). You have many toppings to choose from, but make note, the regular hamburger has 2 patties while the «little» burgers have 1 pattie. I always order just the regular fries because you’ll always get A LOT extra in your bag. Did i mention the fries are divine? They are local potatoes from the East Coast that makes it THAT much better. Sorry New York Fries, you’re on the sideline now.
1 Bacon Cheeseburger, 1 Little Cheeseburger, 1 Regular Fries, 1 Regular drink (free refills) = more or less $ 20.

It is by far the best available burger in Newmarket and the GTA, They do the burgers to order, have the largest fries portions in the city and a very simple menu. If you are in need of a greased up burger, fries and pop then head straight here. If you want a veggie burger or some turkey patties or health food Hero burgers will meet your needs better.
The service here is good, you order at the counter, there are free peanuts to keep you occupied while you wait, they fill the bag with fries and the burgers come with as many toppings as you want. Also the cajun fries are a must!

Unlike most visitors to this type of restaurant, I tried the grilled cheese. I can safely say that the $ 3 I paid was too much for what I got. Two burger bun tops slapped together with nasty processed cheese in the centre? It was gooey is a gross way and made my stomach upset the moment I ate it.
I contacted head office to find out about their allergen menu… and then I contacted them again… and again. Three times and not one email back! Talk about shitty customer service! Well, what would I expect of a store that stores bags of peanuts out in the open and suggests that those with peanut allergies, «…don’t come.» (
)
If you want a GOOD, BETTER, BEST burger experience, hit up Hero Certified Burgers. Heads and shoulders above 5guys!!!

5 Stars for what it is. Simple delicious burger and fries. Plenty of toppings and great fries.
Only thing missing is a good milkshake on the menu.

These are the BEST FRIES EVER! The small size is enough for two people. The burgers were really good. The patties tasted homemade, the toppings were delicious, and the bun was soft and mostly held together. Messy at the halfway point, so maybe not the best first-​date choice for a quick dinner before a movie. The music was really loud, and that’s what cost the two stars. Give it a try. A single patty and a double patty, one small fries, one drink = $ 20
