Five Guys Burgers and Fries

I first discovered Five Guys on the east coast, but finally gave it a try in the Big D. I thought about giving this place 4 stars, but I went ahead and thought mmm 5 for the peanut oil. Few fast food joints are using it and they should get credit for it. By the way, feel free to crack and munch on roasted peanuts before and after ordering, as they have bins for your nutty pleasure.
I’m also giving 5 stars because I rarely eat fast food and they have officially made it on my list of fast food burgers that I can stomach. They are closely ranked behind the infamous inn-​n-​out. The foil wrappers are also a nice touch keeping in the warmth and cheesy goodness. Cheese paper has got nothing on cheese foil, folks!
Note that a standard sized burger has 2 patties and a Little burger has one. It was a nice surprise! 100% beef patties and fresh cut fries. We ordered Cajun fries and I wasn’t impressed. Go for regular. Menu is simple and the guy who rung us up was friendly. Worth a try, even at the mall.

The no.2 loaded is a really great burger and their frys are one of my favorite frys. The I like the brown bags it’s served in reminds me of a old diner.

Oh yes, just as good as ever. However, my bun fell apart as I was eating it. Just kind of crumbled along. Hope this was a one time incident. Otherwise the cheese burger and small fry were great.

Great food! The staff members don’t know what courtesy is about, horrible service! The male heavy set cook was horrible! Who ever owns this place needs to rethink who he hires as his/​her staff members!

This location is in the bottom of the galleria beside the ice skating ring!
This is fast food, it’s greasy and bad for you and a little messy, but it’s done better than other chains. They hand cut their potatoes and you can even see on the wall where the potatoes of the day came from. Hand made patties that come with either 1 patty to a burger (little) or 2 patties to a burger if you order a regular. I advise that unless you’re REALLY hungry, order the little. As someone who can really put it away when they’re hungry I made the mistake of ordering the regular once and ended up over-​stuffed.
They are really generous with the portions on their fries as well, a small is closer to a large at most fast food places. The other sizes are definitely meant to be shared, which is nice if you’re going to be eating with someone else because it will save you both some money. Even the regular fries are delicious, but I’m partial to the cajun fries. These they also season very well, so well in fact that sometimes you have to knock off the extra.
At the end of the day what makes Five Guys good is that they stick to a small, simple menu and they do it well. I love it!

Their burgers are pretty decent, but their hot dogs are the main stars here. They’re kosher also maybe that’s why they taste so great.

It’s nice to get free peanuts when you arrive. It gives u something to do while waiting on your food. It’s also nice to sit and watch the ice skaters nearby. The food is good and cooked fresh. Fresh cut fries. Kids like the soda machine.

Definitely a great burger. The regular burger is two hand formed patties piled high with the fixings of your choice.
The small fries are freshly made, enough for two people to share and are exceptional.
A step above the fast food burger places.

Asked for well done burger and got medium rare. Fries were mushy. Tables were dirty and floor needed sweeping. Yuck.

I’ve eaten at the Five Guys in Odessa, TX lots of times. I always went there when I craved a good burger. It silenced my craving for meat because most of the places to eat in Odessa are REALLY bad, There’s an oil boom there & no matter where one goes to eat — there’s a crowd. It’s not really an incentive for the restaurant owner to serve good food.
Dallas has some great places to eat! So, comparatively speaking, Five Guys is only an «Okay» place to eat. They DID cook our food much more quickly than the Five Guys in Odessa. That was nice. I was with family & the music was too loud to carry on a conversation.
I will go back there again because the Fam liked it a lot. Two of us had Hot Dogs. (I know — right?) And, two of us had Hamburgers. There were not any complaints. The French Fries were VERY good.
Note to my peeps: This Five Guys is on the basement level of the Mall (where the Ice Skating rink is). We didn’t know this and wandered all over the four levels of the Mall — looking for our meat. Finally, my Significant Other had the presence of mind to ask someone where it was. Lol. I think that my brain was so starved of nutrition that I couldn’t think.

A step up from Mooyahs. The taste of their burgers are a step above in my opinion. Giant overstuffed burgers oozing with cheese. Terribly unhealthy but not what they are aiming for lol.

Burger was cooked perfectly, but the tomato was very under-​ripe. I felt cheated on the amount of fries. I ordered the regular, not the small. Don’t be tricked into thinking that they give you a lot of fries for free. The regular is almost $ 4 just for the fries. There SHOULD be a LOT of fries for that price. I got a decent amount, but not $ 4 worth. The fries were also a little unevenly cooked. There were quite a few that were not quite done frying. On top of all that, a regular burger is almost $ 6 without cheese. After tax (and with just tap water to drink), my bill was almost $ 11. Last thing… this is a self-​policing fast food dining room with self serve drinks. Get the damn tip jar off of the counter.

Not slap your momma good, but pretty good. Good pick for a quick burger. Burger and large drink cost me 7.67 but they will make it how you like.

Fresh made food. No frozen patties or fries. All fresh made to order.
Burger had good flavor. Plenty big enough to feed even the hungriest of people.
Fries were great. Get them plain or with Cajun seasoning.
Also while you wait for your fresh food they have peanuts you can munch on.
Overall great experience.

For the past few years, I’ve been working in second-​tier cities in China — where a good burger is hard to come by. Visiting the Galleria, I *had* to stop in to the Five Guys and try their stuff out.
Good things:
— I hadn’t really heard of Five Guys before, so I was very, very, very pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food.
— The girl at the counter was patient while I figured out the menu, and helped explain items to me.
— I ended up ordering a cheeseburger with everything and some fries — super filling, super fresh. I’d go again in a heartbeat.
— My order came in reasonably fast, and even though we were there at kind of a down time (4:00 PM on a Tuesday or Wednesday afternoon), the staff seemed to be attending to orders super diligently. No one was just standing around. I like things like that.
Bad things:
I can’t really justify eating here every day. Honestly, that’s about it. I enjoyed my burger, and that’s all that really matters at a burger place, right?

I am obsessed with this place. I love it!
Straight up cheese burger with sauteed onions and mushrooms it’s delicious. Love how the oil just oozes between my fingers and on the tin foil.
I also like how the fries are HUGE and can feed like 4 people!
AND, they have cherry coke! I only get it when it’s out as a treat for myself and I like to mix it with Diet Coke.
Love me some Five Guys right about now ;)

The burgers are good tasty and fresh ingredients I liked that while you wait you can get a scoop of peanuts to munch on while waiting. The burgers are just good hand formed patties and no fillers you get to pick the toppings that you want on your burger which is really nice and they had fresh potatoes cut into freshly made fries they even had the name of the farm providing the potatoes for the fries at the time. All good the fries were a bit oily and not as crispy as I prefer but good tasting.
Being in the mall and parking in the mall is pretty bad you are better off going to one of their other locations unless you are in the mall. It can get quite crowded since it is in the mall but there are quite a bit of seats so it seems it fills up but turns over pretty quickly.

There’s a BIG difference with the burger sizes. I though I was getting an average sized helping when I ordered, but what came out was a mammoth portioned (huge double mat patties), savory American classic with all the toppings I chose.
The fries were just OK. Nothing spectacular about them… but the burger, it was good.
The place seemed kinda pricey overall for what you get. But all in all. Not bad. Nothing to really note about service, since the only point of contact was when you ordered and picked up.
They do have self-​serve peanuts while your food is being prepared.

Yum!

I’ve been in a hot dog mood lately. Yeah, I know everyone is alllll about the burger with the new In & Out and Heart Attack Grill, but it’s summer and I think about hot dogs on the grill. Apparantly Five Guys had the same thought.
I had the Bacon Cheese Dog. Three of my favorite words combined. There’s just no way to mess this up! Char up a doggie, add cheese, bacon, grilled onions, relish, jalapenos, mustard, mayo and slap it all on a toasty bun and WHALLAH! Yeah, it was good.
Add to that the Cajun Fries and you’ve got a meal too big for one person. So add a friend who wants a burger and all is right with the world. And of course a tasted the burger. It was very good. The meat was well seasoned. Can’t say that about Heart Attack Grill and it was twice the price.
This is better than fast food. It’s not the best burger I’ve had in my life but def in the top twenty. I would eat hear again in a heartbeat!
