Five Guys Burgers and Fries

Very disappointing last outing here. Burgers were greasy and fries which I loved last time were soggy.

This place is the best if you are craving for a good burger! The burgers and fries are nice and fresh! My favorite part about Five Guys is that they overflow the cup of fries. For me, the only problem is the pricing. I’ve always felt like everything was cheaper back then.

I could not have been more surprised by the bill here if the guy behind the counter had leaned over and stapled it to my forehead. «Here’s your total… cash or charge, cha-​chunk!»
I’ll say this for 5 guys. If nothing else, they’re terribly courteous and they damned well should be at these prices! Seriously, I found myself in that weird ‘buyer’s remorse’ mode before I’d even taken my first bite. My eyebrows were stuck in that «WTF just happened?!» position for the entire meal.
As others have noted, their prices suggest they believe their hype. Personally, I’ve found if the masses are singing a joints praises, chances are, I’m not going to fall in line. Such is the case here. 5 guys has taken off quickly in this area and they do indeed make good burgers… just not that damned good. Will I eat here again? Probably. Will I go out of my way? No. Why? The aforementioned prices. Just not price appropriate…
Anyway, I’d put off going here for a few years and my wife had been wanting to try it so I gave in. Like I said, the employees are courteous, the décor is utilitarian and the place is clean.
So, if you find yourself in the same position I was in –my wife had just drug me though the Costco obstacle course for a couple hours– and in need of a quick bite; this place is close by. BUT, so is Sticky Fingers and that’s what I was thinking of with each and every bite of that burger… I could’ve had Sticky Fingers, I could have had Sticky Fingers for what I just paid for this thing.

Be sure and follow me on Unilocal for other Myrtle Beach reviews. I live here so chances are if I like something, you’ll dig it too. See that little icon under my name to the left that says, «Follow this person on Unilocal?»…click that! We’ll be buds! Seriously, do it. I’m shallow and need that sort of validation in my life.

I’ve never had a bad experience at any 5 Guys. I had another good experience at this one. Excellent food, fries, and service.

Just had some yummy burgers. They were fresh, hot, and made exactly how we wanted them. I’ll tell you what really impressed me, was the manager coming out and checking on every table. He was friendly and cared enough to make sure everything was perfect.
GOOD JOB!

I always appreciate great customer service and this place has it! There was no prodding for our order some while we were taking our time deciding right in front of the register. After the order was made, the guy at the register asked how our day had been and made some quick small talk which I definitely liked. The wait time for the food was quite long despite there being few people, although this can be expected at any 5 guys. The guy who brought out our food shared a great quick tip for our food and sent us on our way. By the time we got home the buns of the burgers were a bit soggy but the patties were thick and loaded to the point it’s hard to fit in your mouth. Also the fries were a little cold by the time we got home but the taste was excellent. I recommend this place for the food but I will surely come back for the service.

I’ve not been to a Five Guys since I left Marlboro, Massachusetts and I didn’t like it there. I was taken to lunch here today and was quite pleased. We walked in and were about the 4^th person to be waited on, since it was right in the middle of lunch hour. I ordered a small burger, my friend and I shared a reg order of fries and I had an iced tea. Kyle took our order and he was most pleasant. He had a nice smile and kind words and was very friendly. Our food was brought to our table in a bag in less than 10 minutes. These were some of the best fries I’ve had and someone told me it’s because they were hand-​cut. They even had Malt vinegar (beside the ketchup) so I was in my glory. I love my fries with Malt vinegar. My burger was just enough and I had it MY way with cheese and mushrooms with little ketchup. I was very pleased with the flavor, the size and those fries. I would definitely go back there again. Thanks Kyle.(Store # SC-​0063)

Knew the food would be good but the customer service today was great! Am not a regular to this location but stopped by on weekend vacation — the manager spoke with me as we waited as did another employee just to see how we were doing. Personal touch appreciated! And the little order of fries was more than enough for two.

Vacationing in Myrtle Beach and went here b/​c husband had heard of this place on Fast Money or one of those shows he watches. It’s brightly decorated in red and white with just simple tables and chairs. No frills there. As you walk in the door, you hear the employees calling out «Two in the door» or «Four in the door!» and then someone is waiting to take your order right away. it’s a hamburger and hot dog place where you order whichever and then there is a list of add on condiments which you select. The day we went they were out of onions. ?! out of onions? How can that happen at a fast food place? but no matter. the burgers were very tasty. and like others have said they give you a ton of fries. I would recommend highly giving it a try.

To quote a famous woman from the past, «Where’s the beef?» The burgers have gotten smaller.

Excellent burgers !! Order small fries instead of med or large because the portion is huge !!! All the employees here are really friendly and nice !!

Not much to say really — if you like burgers and fries these are your guys. Highly recommend going «all the way» and don’t go shy on the vinegar for your house cut frenchies. This place is the bomb.

Their burgers and fries are always consistently good. The staff is friendly and welcoming every time. The food comes out fast and fresh… what else can you ask for.

Man. it don’t get no better than this…

Great Burger. Definitely lives up to the hype.

Great burgers but do not get them to go as they will have reverted to their grease state by the time you get them home. They are much better eaten in the restaurant. Fries are excellent and the serving size is enormous.

Cheeseburger was good but just to big should order small cheeseburger, fries were tasty all it was missing milkshake

The burgers were a-​okay, but nothing special in my opinion. I would rather have In-​N-​Out, Fatburger, or Shake Shack any day!
