Five Guys Burgers and Fries

Will never go back! Fries were soggy and barely edible, the burger was disgusting and in pieces. Very disappointing.

I love the burgers here! They are nice and juicy, and they pile on the toppings! I highly recommend the Cajun fries, they are fantastic! Well seasoned, and the fries are very good! However, be sure to eat them up quick! Once they get cold they can get a bit soggy. My only complaints are:
1. The service is a bit slow for a burger joint, even when they’re not busy.
2. It is a bit pricy for just a hamburger, fries and a drink.
I am a fan of all the complimentary peanuts they have to eat while you wait for your order though! They help make the wait feel shorter :) If you haven’t tried Five Guys, come check this place out for lunch next time!

It has been a few years since I have been here, the burgers are still as messy and good as when they first opened. Which is the point of this place. The roasted peanuts are a good touch. Something to munch on while you are waiting for your order. The fries I don’t get. Granted you nearly have to order a kids portion so you don’t wind up with too many of them. The available bottles of malt vinegar are a nice touch for the fries. But the fries need to not be so soggy. That is my only fault on the whole thing.

Food was OK. Not great as I had been led to believe. And it was filthy. With a semi-​functional Women’s restroom. And the «kids» running the shop at the time we were there were completely apathetic. Disappointed. Especially for the cost.

LAYTON, UT: This location is clean, convenient, and a little slow to serve the burgers. Plan on waiting at least 10 minutes, even when they are slow.
Ordering with A1 may not be a first idea of most people, but I find it to be a welcome departure from the usual and delicious.
The Cajun fries are a must.

We love this place! It is a little pricy, but the meat is fresh ground, the fries are REAL potatoes, and if you have them with the cajun spice, you will be in heaven! Add a cherry coke, and it’s perfection! This is the closest that I have found to a home made cheeseburger in the area! We love it! The kids ask for it constantly– over McDonalds! I haven’t tried the hot dogs or the salads though… so keep that in mind.

Good Burger, fresh fries and lots of them. I wouldn’t go there for a salad though.

All I need is a bucket of Cajun fries and an equal amount of fry sauce. Please and thank you!

I have been to Five Guys many times, the first time I went I was very happy with the service and burger I received. I love that they dress the burger any way you like, giving you some unique options not available at other burger places, I also like the fact the burgers are pressed and grilled to order. Either this location is not up to par with others I visited or the quality has gone down in general, not sure which, but my burger was just OK.

The burger was a little bit dry and the fries were cold. This was unusual as they are generally really good.

The fries taste like dirt every time I go and the burgers are bland. I’m done giving this place chances. Everyone else I know loves five guys. Maybe I’m just not lucky enough to get the good cook and ripe potatos.

LOVE THIS PLACE!!! Burgers are amazing, plus you can build your own. Fries are solid with regular or Cajun style. Only complaint is it gets a bit pricey…

I really enjoy Five Guys and was very happy when one opened in Layton. The prices are a bit high but the quality is there.

My dad wanted to try this place. We ordered online and it still wasn’t ready at the scheduled time and it was not busy. The fries were extremely salty. The burgers were ok. I really don’t get the hype. It’s expensive fast food that is not convenient or fast. Drive to In n Out… pay half as much for reliable everything.

I was pretty excited to try this place after hearing good things about it… but was disappointed to find that there are only really 5 types of burgers. They need to change their menu to:
Normal-​sized burger
Normal-​sized burger with cheese
Normal heart attack burger
Normal heart attack burger with cheese
Burger for a Fat Ass
Cheeseburger for a Fat Ass
Fatal Heart Attack burger
Fatal Heart Attack burger with cheese
Seriously.
And the fact that you have hot dogs too but no other kind of meat for the burgers is weird. Even In-​N-​Out, which in my opinion is so much better than Five Guys, has chicken for non-​beef eaters. Something to think about: If your burgers are going to have this much grease, you’d better give a healthier option of meats.
And thank you for sharing that your fries are cooked in pure, no cholesterol, tasty peanut oil. Can’t imagine what you’re cooking your burgers in. But the peanut oil isn’t working because the batch of fries I got were so soggy and disgusting, I had to throw them out.
I know when you’re eating a burger, you wouldn’t be concerned about being healthy, but this place takes the cake on that to the next level. This place isn’t concerned with your health or existence at all.
Lastly, fire the guy with tourettes. He’s creepy.

When I want a juicy, messy, down-​right awesome burger I can make my own. But next to that this place is the best I have ever been to (much better than In n Out but not as many variations as Red Robin). Lots of toppings and made to order so I have never been disappointed (once the sandwich came out of the wrapper but they made it up right away by making a fresh one without me having to say anything). And the fries are the only ones around that I like anymore (don’t know if they are cooking them in transfats but they are THE BEST!).
The only drawback (strength?) is that they have a limited menu with only burgers, fries and hot dogs (I think they were polish dogs but I can’t remember — my dad got one and really liked it but I go for the burgers and fries).
Just remember that they take about 5 – 10 minutes to get the order done and that the «cheeseburger» is actually a double cheeseburger.

Five Guys has some pretty good hamburgers, but I think their menu is a little confusing. First off, the regular size hamburger has two patties and is freakin’ huge. Who would consider this a regular size hamburger? I’m pretty sure it’s just a clever marketing technique used to coerce people into paying more for something that is «regular» instead of «little» (Little is their one patty hamburger).
Their fries are pretty good imo, probably better than In-​N-​Out, but if you order fries be prepared to feed a small army. They fill a plastic cup with fries and then place it in into a large paper bag and put even more fries in it. To be honest, I don’t know why they give you the plastic cup. Maybe to scoop out the fries?
This place is probably twice as expensive as In-​N-​Out, so it’s not gonna win me over.

Initially, I wasn’t going to try this place because of the average reviews. However, my friend in DC said that Five Guys is good, and so I decided to give them a shot.
What makes Five Guys better than your other burger joints is this…
1. They use REAL potatoes, hand cut on the premises. This makes the fries the best I’ve had in a joint — just pure potato. No covering it in flour to make it crunchier. The fries aren’t too oily. I was surprised that the brown bag containing the fries wasn’t too greasy, just some blots here and there. I did not feel like I was clogging my arteries, just getting full because I couldn’t stop eating them.
2. The people who work here actually look like they get along and I believe this carries into how well the food is prepared.
3. They do not have any fillers or preservatives in their food. This makes them on par with In n Out but I actually prefer Five Guys because of their fries. Stop eating that McDonald’s crap that lasts for five years without going rancid from preservatives. Why do you think America has a rampant cancer problem? From all the chemical crap in food today!
4. For what they do and what you get, the price is fair. C’mon, people need to get paid a decent wage and profits need to be made!
5. The regular order of fries can feed two. They fill a cup with fries and then when they pack it in the brown bag, they get some more fries and dump it on top. I was filled with excitement when seeing this.
I asked for bbq sauce and watched as the worker covered the top in bbq sauce. However, I still could not taste it very well and so next time, I will grab a fry sauce container and ask her to put some in there too.
I was very full after eating half the fries and a little more than half the burger.
Give Five Guys a try. They are located in the strip mall right behind Mimi’s Café.

Went there a second time… after being embarassed from ordering a «Junior Burger» by the rest of the guys, I was actually full. Sue me for trying to be somewhat healthy. Recommend the Junior Burger if…
A) You want to save on some calories.
B) You need to save a little extra change for the arcade.
C) You want to be full, but not stuffed (skip the fries, eat some free peanutes).

This Five Guys location opened about two weeks ago. I tried them at their Sandy and Midvale locations before and both times were decent. This location is decorated just like their other locations, but it has more open spaces between tables. Despite being over-​crowded, they did a good job completing your order on time. The regular size burger is actually very large with two patties, so if you were not hunger, get the little burgers with one patty and that is really the only difference. The fries were very greasy and I did not find that to my liking. I got the bacon burger with my selected sauces and veggies, but it came out very dried for unknown reasons, maybe they did not sauce it enough? On the bright side, the vegetables they used were very fresh, especially when I could taste spicy in the jalapenos, an indication of being fresh.
Overall, this particular location of Five Guys has its vicissitudes on the food, and I may or may not return to this location.
