Five Guys Burgers and Fries

Just discovered this place and we absolutely love it. Although somewhat high in price, the burgers are such a treat

Very good quality hamburgers. I like the options you can add to the burger. The mushroom and onion burger with bacon is so good. The fresh fries make the whole experience. This place is very clean and well kept up.

My wife and I dropped by last night to eat after some time; it’s still great, just like the first time I tried it years ago. When you go in to this particular location, right off the bat you notice that it’s for dining in. So why not bring a bunch of friends?
The food is spectacular. I order a hamburger all-​the-​way, and it taste great! The fries, the ketchup, everything is great about the place. The staff are good at what they do, kind and they get your order done in a timely manner.
I like the posters showing the great reviews this chain of hamburger shops have had; being from Washington D.C. And living in Maryland, Five guys is really popular, so seeing all the headlines, the city names, takes me back to the times I’ve had back in the east. I have to mention that even the veggie sandwich is good, so this place is vegetarian friendly; I’m not sure about vegan, but vegetarian, definitely.

Stupid peanuts and peanut oil. The disappointment I had upon entering your restaurant for the first time and learning you love peanuts and peanut oil more than you do me, will forever make me loathe you.

I think this place easily has the best-​tasting burger of any place in Columbus, OH.
Their reputation speaks for itself in terms of burgers. The rest of the menu is a little bland, and their fries are just decent; but if you’re craving a burger, this is the place to go.

Pretty decent burgers here. Service is quick. Nothing really to complain about.

They make great burgers and fries to order and you get a lot of food… but it costs a lot of money. I can feed my family of 5 at Chipotle for $ 23 and everyone feels full when we leave. Here it costs $ 40 which is somewhat pricey for what I would consider «fast food» and not overly filling.
Coming here with a buddy for lunch isn’t too bad, $ 6ish for a burger, a couple more for a drink, and splitting some fries, you’re out less than $ 10 which is reasonable. So my real problem comes with the kids menu. Grilled cheese and hot dogs without sides are $ 4−5…way too much money. My kids are small and young, about half the time they will give me their drinks for free, the other half they charge me $ 2…add in fries and you’re looking at $ 8 – 9 for a kids meal… way too much for babies.
I do love their food though. I always get the grilled onions, A1, green peppers, mushrooms… things you can’t normally order on burgers unless it is a specialty burger. The fries are pretty good too and you can tell they are fresh cut. I like to order cajun fries with the seasoning on the side, then take the seasoning home and use it to on grilled chicken, so good.

This is one of my favorite burger places. You can get all sorts of toppings on top, including two of my favorites — fresh jalapenos and grilled mushrooms. Their burgers always taste fresh and go very well with fries and Peach-​flavored Fanta!
Keep in mind that the regular burgers are actually double-​patties and the smaller fries feed two people!

Fantastic burgers, always made fresh right in front of you and unlimited toppings. The fries are fantastic as well, possibly the best in the industry surpassing everyone but McDonalds and even then most likely tying them at worst. The cajun fries are what my fiancé like the best and they are a tad spicy but not too spicy for most folks. Order a small order of fries as they dump extra in the bag, unless you are a huge eater and/​or just want some fries to snack on later. They are served best with vinegar (which you can get at the store by the ketchup) and salted heavily…
The burgers here are the star of the show of course and are always cooked perfectly and pack a lot of flavor. It’s definitely not a place to go if you are watching your cholesterol but an occasional trip isn’t too bad. And don’t forget you can always order a single. I do wish Five Guys would add a turkey burger option but perhaps that’s just me.
The toppings are all free for your burger and you can get so many you’ll have a Dagwood type sandwich experience. My favorites are grilled onions, grilled mushrooms, ketchup, mayo, mustard and extra pickles. If you’re in the mood for something different try their all beef hot dog as it’s expensive but extraordinary. For that I’d recommend the chil and cheese option with ketchup and mustard.
And don’t forget to sample some of the free peanuts while you wait for your burger. If you don’t want to wait long feel free to use their iPad app and order online which is what we do. You can then skip the line and get your burger right away. Top notch and one of the best places you can get a burger. Blows away other fast food burgers.

The burgers are small and plain and grey and overpriced. The only possible reason to go to five guys is for the fries which I think are pretty good… especially the cajun fries. But in no way is this place able to compete with a great burger chain like smashburger. Go to smashburger if you want a well prepared, well seasoned, well presented delicious burger. They should just call this place Five Guys Fries since that’s the only real reason to go there.

Best chain burger in town. I love their fresh jalapeños. Most places will use ones out of a can, but at 5 Guys they are fresh. I don’t like the brown bag thing. If I am staying, which I always do, put my food on a tray. I hate trying to fish all of my fries out of the bag. Also, love the new Coke machine in here. burger, fries, and a coke– does it get any more American?!

I love burgers and am always looking for a great burger place. I’m not particularly fond of those high-​priced burger offerings ($ 15-​$ 30) found in many restaurants and steak houses. I’m partial to made-​to-​order burgers and fries offered in a «burger joint». I’ve never tried anything except for the standard 5-​Guys burger (comes with 2 patties) and fries. I’ve learned over time NOT to order the burger with «everything» since it gets a little too messy with the sauce, ketchup, mustard, etc. I’ve found that custom ordering the burger with just your favorite toppings is far more practical. The fries are exceptional but — be warned — a small order is probably plenty for most people. Loving fries — I ordered a large order on my 1^st visit. Fortunately, the cashier warned me that I might want to start off with a small order — that was good advice. I’ve been at the Polaris Parkway location a number of times and have always found the service to be quick and efficient. One time when my order took a little longer than usual — the server apologized for the wait and threw in an extra handful of fries. Great burgers /​exceptional fires and good service.

A review of five guys has been a long time waiting. In typical fashion as an individual consumes animal flesh I can assure you that I absolutely love burgers. So naturally I would find myself at a number of places where they are prepared for my amusement and delight. Generally when I arrive I end up ordering the bacon cheese burger and choose to add lettuce, tomato, onion, and the sauteed mushrooms. This has always provided for a delicious combination of ingredients topped upon well prepared cow that leaves me satisfied.
The fries are also pretty good, and if you haven’t tried the cajun variations of the fries here you are missing out! The location here now has one of those crazy soft drink dispensers that makes me think I’m using some sort of beverage replicator (which is awesome).
Anyway, I imagine you’ve tried this place before, but if you are a burger lover who hasn’t, give it a try already.

So when the Polaris Cheeburger Cheeburger closed my wife and I were saddened. It was the perfect place to go for a better-​than-​fast-​food hamburger. They also made amazing double chocolate milk shakes, the fries were good, it was always clean, just a fun place for us to go for a quick bite away from the kids. We always left with leftovers, the remainder of a milk shake to enjoy on the ride home. Man we miss that place. So when we heard about everyone raving about Five Guys we were super excited to find a place to finally replace Cheeburger Cheeburger.
Wow, what a disappointment. First off, the prices are higher than the food quality warrants. Then there is the service. I remember going up to order my hamburger, said I wanted it cooked medium and he looked back at me like I was speaking a foreign language. «We cook them all the same,» he said. I pointed to the blackened piles of what looked like severely over-​cooked hamburger and said. «I don’t want my burnt.» «We cook them all the same,» he said again, with the same lack of enthusiasm. I looked at my wife and we both kind of shrugged and thought… maybe it tastes better than it looks.
We go to find a table and almost every table is dirty. I look back to the kitchen area and there are 9 people in the kitchen area… 4 people are actively cooking and preparing food and the other 5 people are… talking, smiling, joking among themselves. Plenty of chit chat going on… but no table cleaning. Sure, allow me to pay for my food and clean my own table.
But, you know… the food has to be amazing because of all these reviews. right. Nope. Our burgers arrive and they taste just the way they look… like burnt, over-​cooked hamburger that has severely shriveled from using probably a ⁶⁰⁄₄₀ fat content hamburger. My hamburger is so dry that I literally can’t keep enough toppings on the bun to create a bite that is not desert sand dry. Maybe the fries are good. My wife loves fries even more than me. I watch her pick up a fry and it’s limp and bends in her fingers. Cremated, low-​quality hamburger, limp and soggy fries and more than $ 20 spent for my wife and I. Awesome. I don’t think we have ever thrown away that much food before.
I am not really sure why there are amazing reviews of this place. It’s as over-​rated as is humanly possible. My theory is that there are places around town that seem to become trendy and cool… and it seems like Five guys is one of those places. So people aren’t really paying attention to the food they just enjoy showing how cool and trendy they are by going to the cool and trendy places.
Avoid this place, there are many better and cheaper options out there.

It’s okay. I feel it’s way overhyped for simple burgers-​but the fresh cut fries are awesome (except when you get a bag of small pieces).
I suppose the plus is-​the burger is what they focus on, and you can get a variety of toppings, and the burgers are consistent.
A small fry can be split between three people-​you basically get a cup in a bag, and they start dumping fries in the bag :)
OH — and free peanuts! Too bad my anaphylactic allergic son will never be able to come inside. I’m not saying that as a jibe on the place, just sometimes, you want a tasty cheap burger on the quick.

If you like burger like I do… that’s a place worth checking out. made to order, you pick what you want on your burger. everything goes in a brown bag, the burger, a cup of fries and if space allows more fries until the bag almost explodes… grab some peanuts until they call your order… it’s a fun place.

Couldn’t have said it better myself.

Why is this place so empty? Clean, consistent, and hey, it’s 5 Guys. It’s the closest one to my house so I know I’ll be back.

Five Guys Burgers and Fries and probably my favorite burger place. It has a simple ordering style, alot like restaurants such as Cosi.
Five Guys has a simple menu, but it’s definitely worth it! Their burgers taste great and their fries are even greater. The fries aren’t frozen fries like many other fast food places, but their made from fresh cut potatoes in each restaurant. They also have a great taste!
Five Guys have a great choice of toppings for your burgers or hot dogs too. Many toppings to make a great burger. And as for their drinks, they have a good many Coke products.
The price is a bit high compared to some other burger places, but it’s worth it every time I go there.
The Five Guys formula is simple, yet overly effective. They also offer you peanuts to snack on while you wait for your order. Five Guys is a fun, good tasting, family environment for great burgers any day of the week.

This company is up to 400 locations and I don’t understand it. They make a decent burger but it’s only a couple of bucks shy of places that make great burgers. Not even that. I paid $ 7.71 for a buger and fries. For $ 8 or $ 9 I could have gone anywhere and gotten a great burger, cooked to my liking and fries are included. Their claim that they cook the bugers well done and juicy is false. My burger was done and dry. The only thing that saved it was the toppings. All of the corny slogans on the walls don’t make the burgers any better.
The cajun fries were pretty good though, but limp.
