Five Guys Burgers and Fries

Loved the Cajun French Fries, loved the veggie s/​w, loved the strawberry milkshake (among the best I have had around here, full of real strawberry bits) and loved the munchy peanuts.
Will keep coming back for more for sure!

Last Saturday I was craving a good burger and this was my first time I came to five guys and didn’t know what to order, and the casher which I didn’t catch her name but on the receipt it said her name was Elizabeth. She was so helpful and nice really enjoyed my visit there and will come back for the service and the fries were pretty good
Better than in and out for sure.

Came here after a meeting of chevelle owners. They were courts you’d enough to give me a burger low carb style and a drink. But it still came out to $ 10. I’d only come here after those meeting because i don’t eat fries anymore and really 5 guys is all about the fries

Loved the peanuts… Don’t care about nething else…;)
They have decent burgers but nothing special… Don’t forget to try their peanuts…

You want a REAL burger? This is the place. Thick, juicy burgers with melty cheese and your choice of toppings. And the fries? Don’t get me started. You’ll likely get more than you can handle and even the scrawny fries at the bottom of the bag are better than the best fries any place else.
I hear people compare 5 guys and in n out burger and you just can’t do that. 5 guys is on a whoooole other level of awesomeness. I had a double patty and omg it made my day. So delicious. It’s things like this that stop me from being a vegetarian.
5 stars easy.

I loveeeee their little bacon burger with all the black toppings. Their Cajun fries are yummmmy! I would say a down side to this place is the pricing. it’s a little too expensive for fast food. but I still love it!

Here is my favorite fact taken direct from their company website: «There are no freezers in Five Guy locations, just coolers. Nothing is ever frozen.» Yeah those fatty little burgers are juicy, and nice little slippers to wear into the mouth. I’m a lettuce and tomato guy, and the ones on these burgers never disappoint.
The French Fries are too salty, but there’s a little skin on them and they are on the fatter side. I finish them regardless. I also like the Milk Shakes a lot, they got more than just three flavors. And there are complimentary shell peanuts for the heck of it. These badass menu items are a good guilty pleasure, the lot of it. So…
Here is my favorite opinion taken direct from my own brain, btw: My lips are always a little salty afterwards, my tongue the flavor of rawhide. I always hit my Vaseline tube in my car afterwards, and perhaps use a baby wipe to clean myself. I feel a little, «Eww.»
But you’ll probably find me here five or six times a year. I’ll choose it over «The Habit» anytime. #goingfat

The best hot dog I’ve ever had! If they had cheddar cheese it would’ve been perfect! I ordered it online and it was ready on time.

So I’ve only been to a Five Guys twice in my life, this time being the third. The thing I remember about Five Guys is that the burgers are pretty big, so I have to order the «little» burgers because it fills me up without being too overbearing. With that being said, here’s my review of this place:
I ordered the Little Bacon Cheeseburger with everything on it except for grilled onions. I’m not a fan of grilled onions in general. I also ordered a thing of regular fries and a regular soda. The thing I don’t like about Five Guys is that they don’t really offer combo meals. You have to pay for what you want separately, which is a drag because I paid $ 13 for all 3 items. As you wait for your order, you can eat some peanuts that they have out in the open so you can get your munch on if you’re starving.
I’ve read reviews that their fries taste good with the malt vinegar they offer. To be honest, It wasn’t that amazing? The fries were okay. They did have a good crisp to it, which is what I like in my fries. I hate soggy fries.
The burger itself wasn’t as amazing as I thought it would be either. As others have said, it’s bland in taste as far as the seasoning on the burger goes. But the cheese and pickles made up for the lack of taste. I don’t think I’d come here as a regular only because it’s too expensive for my wallet for such bland food. Maybe I’ll wait another 3 years to come back here again.

The debate between In-​N-​Out and Five Guys should be over now… I think I found my winner!
Sidenote: In-​N-​Out is definitely not «fast» food… It took me 35 minutes last time to get a burger!
So who else loves free peanuts? And LOTS of topping on a good burger? THIS GIRL HERE!
I came here on a Friday evening around 6:30 PM. The place was not too filled, but was starting to get busy.
We ordered:
–2 orders of bacon hamburgers /​/​The toppings varied per each burger, but you get the idea. LET ME JUST ADD MORE OF THE GRILLED MUSHROOMS. AND CAN I JUST GET MORE JALEPENOS? (Holy…that gave me a run for my money!)
–1 large order of cajun fries /​/​CRISP TO PERFECTION. What else can I say?! And I love that they just pour so much fries into your cup/​bag! It’s like an overflowing Halloween bag!
Pros:
–SO MANY TOPPING OPTIONS. The ones on the main menu is not all! Right next to the cash register there is a laminated sheet with more!
–Great service! Super patient girl! Smiles and all!
–Awesome portion! Yeah… so while it looks humungous in photos but it is definitely the perfect size for me.
Cons:
–Bun a bit too soggy… I guess they wrap it in aluminum to 1) melt the cheese, 2) keep the burger warm, 3) let you leave if it’s togo? But still. Kind of sad that the bun was soggy. It would definitely be a ⁵⁄₅ if the bun was not a hot mess.
Tips/​Observations:
–Plentiful parking!
–Give Five Guys a shot, you In-​N-​Out die-​heart fans!
Overall, coming here again! I can’t wait to eat here when I head back to school in September! And the best part? It is within bussing distance, unlike some other place that requires a drive!

So I’ve been here quite a few times since my last review and I think I was extremely harsh. The burgers really aren’t that bad but they just don’t compare to In-​N-​Out in my honest opinion. I do like the free toppings concept and being able to build your own burger. The Cajun fries are still bomb of course, they probably will always be the best fries at a fast food establishment.
I do like the recent addition of the hand spun milkshakes and all mix-​ins are free so that is a huge plus! While they aren’t my first go to place for a burger they certainly are an option when I want a break from my norm and want a bacon cheeseburger with Cajun fries. I do however still stand by my statement that they are a bit overpriced and they don’t have any meal options. A double cheeseburger shouldn’t cost over $ 7. Though the price isn’t what I’d like it to be I have given them a number of tries and I find myself coming back every once in a while. I have yet to try their shakes but I do plan to as well as their bacon hot dog and maybe that will change my mind and make me give them 4 stars.

Bought a cheeseburger and large coke. $ 8 bucks.
Bought medium rare burger, everything on it but onions. The taste is ok. Kinda bland. Whatever…
One hour later, I get diarrhea. The burger completely took over my body and shut me down while shopping at staples. This is the second time 5 guys does this to me. I am suspicious that the meat when medium rare is of such poor quality that whatever bacteria naturally, or artificially is integrated in the patty, causes stomach problems.
If anyone else has similar effects please do tell. If the meat is bad when medium rare then this chain should not be offering the options of having it made other than well done.

This location is fairly large for a Five Guys and the staff is super attentive and friendly-​they have never been understaffed during any of my visits and this makes for a truly efficient and pleasant dining experience. Even during a Friday night when it’s extremely busy, the staff still manages to get my orders out in a few minutes. There is plenty of seating no matter what because people are usually in and out pretty quickly. The condiments and utensils are always fully stocked and very clean. I love this Five Guys!
There is a huge parking lot outside because this location is part of a plaza so you’ll never have trouble parking right in front. :D

— THE FOOD
Truly disappointing especially because it’s supposed to be rated «the best burger» for many years. Plastered all over the walls, there’s multiple signs that claims Five Guys Burgers is supposed to be the juiciest burger. My patty was extremely overcooked and had no taste whatsoever. It was so dry that California had to issue another state of emergency for the lack of water. The mustard and ketchup completely overpowered the taste of the meat, making the burger way too sweet. The only plus was the grilled onions and mushrooms. The fries did not hit the mark at all. They were soggy, soft, and flavorless. There was no crunchiness whatsoever, and they were all weird sizes. Some fries would be meshed together to make a huge fry and others were normal sized… get it together! After the meal, I felt completely gross because everything was so greasy and oily.
— THE PRICE
Pretty expensive for pretty lame burger and even worse fries. I got the little burger and it was around $ 5, which is decent. The fries, however, were $ 4!!! If I had known how unsatisfactory they were going to taste, I would’ve went to McDonald’s to get me two large fries instead. Too pricey for not high quality food.

Their burgers at delicious. If you compare their burgers to their counterparts in price range, I would give them 4 stars. I think the fact that they have become commercialized lends to users giving them a lower rating than they should.

I can’t seem to like Five Guys even though they’ve been deemed as one of the best burger places. I would rather go to Red Robin’s to be honest. But before I go there, this Five Guys is located in Pacific Commons next to the Old Navy and Market Place Broiler. There’s lots of parking.
There seems to always been some kind of line, but goes by fairly quickly. Remember to get your free peanuts with two containers so you can have one for the shells. All burgers come with two patties so make sure you pay attention to when you’re ordering.
Today we got a cheeseburger and small fries. The fries are great. I don’t like the cajun flavoring as it just is super salty and unnecessary. The burger was just lack luster… felt like just eating bland meat which was just disappointing. I want some seasoning in my burger or even some kind of flavor.
Although they do have free peanuts and good fries, I would still go to In-​n-​Out or Red Robin’s for my burgers.

Came here for the first time and ordered a veggie burger with Cajun fries (all to go). Staff was very friendly and she was very accommodating to my last minute changes. ⁵⁄₅ for staff
On the other hand their food was decent. My expectation was a bit higher based on all the great things I heard about this place. But the food, I think was mediocre.
Cajun fries were good, a bit in the soft side and it would be nice if they had some kind of a special sauce with it, not just ketchup. ⁴⁄₅
My burger’s bun was soggy and despite the small size of the burger, my burger was quite messy. ⁴⁄₅ taste wise it was pretty good

The kiddos and I enjoyed our burgers. They weren’t out of this world, but they’re burgers it’s like what do you expect I guess.
I like that you can order as many toppings as you want and there isn’t an additional charge.

This is the first time that I came to 5 guys because I was always afraid to come here because my husband has a peanut allergy. His co worker who has a peanut allergy stated that if the peanut oil is okay, but that the actual peanut is not. So they went to 5 guys and had french fries, and a burger and there was no DEATH reaction (I am not recommending to go if you have a peanut allergy, you should ask your doctor first!)
It is really hard to compare IN and Out to this place. Yes, they are both burgers, but they are 2 different styles of burgers. It is like comparing thin crust pizza to Chicago style pizza. Yes, they are pizzas, but they are different kind of pizzas.
Five guys has more meat than In and out, and they have a lot of toppings, different sauces etc. The burger feels heavier. The price point is higher than In and Out but that is because they have more toppings. My burger was $ 8. You are definitely full after you eat it. The more toping you put on, I feel like the more soggier the burgers gets. Hard to eat the burger without getting all the toppings all over the place. The spicy fries are also really good. You have to try the spicy fries at least one time if you haven’t tried it. I thought the fries were delicious!
Overall the burger was pretty good. It was a lot of meat for me. It is not a bad burger, but on the higher end for a burger which is why I believe people prefer In and out. In and Out’s burgers are good and they are on the low end of the price point. Cheaper, less meat, less toppings. But also very good.
Overall, you can’t really compare the 2 because they are different. I like them both the same, but I would probably go to In and Out more because the price point is more affordable.
If you haven’t tried it, you have to try it at least once.

Sometimes you just want a big sloppy burger that oozes sauce and drips toppings all over your hands, the table, and your clothes. You know what I’m talking about. When this describes you, look no further than Five Guys!
***CHEESEBURGER (All toppings, both the red & black lines)
Seriously though, it’s no gourmet burger, but a cheeseburger here just hits the spot. With two patties (the Little Cheeseburger only has one), a slice or two of cheese, and all of those glorious toppings (mayo, lettuce, pickles, tomatoes, grilled onions, grilled mushrooms, ketchup, mustard, relish, onions, jalapeño peppers, green peppers, A1 Steak Sauce, BBQ sauce, & hot sauce – YOU MUST ASK FOR THEM ALL), you’re practically swimming in seduction.
***FRIES (Five Guys Style)
It’s impolite to eat a burger without fries in these parts, so pick your poison – Five Guys Style (aka normal) or Cajun Style. There are many types of fries that I don’t care for, but either of these styles at Five Guys is quite good. These things are big, potato-​y chunks, & perfectly soft. You can dip them in ketchup or stick it to the man by using malt vinegar.
ALL IN ALL:
Even if you carefully wrap the cheeseburger in its foily coffin, if the stars are aligned, you should soon have oil & sauce all over your hands. Eventually an juicy pepper or mushroom will fall out, grazing your shirt a few times on its way down to your pants. It’s just a matter of time. All things in life should be this simple & beautiful…
(Note: You can fill up on free peanuts while you’re waiting. I’m not a big fan, but some people get off on this. To each his own.)
