Five Guys Burgers and Fries

I didn’t believe I’d been to or reviewed this one and was in the area, had some time to kill, kinda hungry but really basing it on what was in the fountain and sure it sounds kind of dumb, but I can always count on Five Guys to be good about the Coke Zero. Layout of this place, in a work, sucks, all the way from the parking lot (not their fault) to the interior tables, which make working at my laptop over lunch a chore (definitely their fault). I went with my usual (to have it my way, choose either single or double patty, add cheese, bacon, mushrooms, jalapenos, A-​1 sauce and get thee face full. Sometimes I will also add green peppers and less frequently a little splash of lettuce, but that’s more of an option; the other toppings are standard.) and skipped the fries because I was feeling overly fat and I’d rather have a face full of nuts anyway, delicious, salty nuts, made wet by… the uhhh Coke Zero.
I digress. Anyway, burger was cooked acceptably, but they got kind of skimpy on the toppings, which threw the tone of the damn thing off. If made right, the burger my way is a symphony of balanced perfection. This one did not make it there. It was, in fact, not at all sloppy, which immediately told me something was at least a little off. Sure, it was lunch and the way they have the structuring, any line puts people’s asses directly into whoever is seated by the register, so I’m supposing they were trying to hurry, but they were slow by most Five Guys’ standards. Nothing was wrong, per se, but a lot of other locations have done a lot better. Even the Coke Zero mix was off a bit, actually… this is another that will do in a pinch but I wouldn’t make it a point to go there or anything.

I have been going here since it opened, absolutely love it!!! Every 5 Guys is good but this location is by far the best when it comes to Taste, Service, and Quality!
Would HIGHLY Recommend!!!

Five Guys is definitely one of the better quick burger joints around. I love that all of the basic toppings on Five Guys burgers are free. I usually get the Little Bacon Burger, which is still pretty darn big. I get grilled onions and lettuce on it, the grilled onions are delicious.
Their fries are also amazing and a regular is plenty for two people to share. I love to get them cajun style, which is just a cajun seasoning that they toss the fries in, but man is it good. I really like that they have their bags of potatoes and cases of peanut oil just out in the dining area.
They also cut their fries fresh and they write up on a board where their fries are from that day. I lived in Idaho for a few years, and always recognize the small potato farm towns, which is super fun.
**Bonus** They have free peanuts in the shell for you to snack on while you wait for your food!

The burgers are pretty great, the lack of a combo price is really lame.
I love Five Guys. They make a great burger quick. The cajun fries are fantastic as well. What I don’t care for is the price. I’ve never left there paying less than $ 12+ for a burger, drink and some fries. While it is good, I can go to much better for just a few dollars more.
Luckily it is a good place to go for a pair of people because you can share the ridiculously large bag of fries and come out with a good price per person.
The meat is good, the selection of toppings is great, and the jalapenos are some of the freshest I’ve ever seen and tasted.
This review is all over the place and I’m really tired. It’s a good burger, but don’t go alone or you will pay more than it’s worth.

Five Guys is overrated and expensive. The fries are GREASY, so much that the paper bag is drenched and will stain your car seat. The burger bun is like wonder bread, and the toppings remind me of a 7 – 11 condiment bar.
The beef itself is juicy, and tastes good. I will give them that!
I do like their peanuts as well-​not overcooked and tasty. Maybe they should specialize in peanuts?
I will still go and get a burger at five guys when I need a quick burger. It definitely beats any other fast food chain burger. Kind of an unjustifiably overpriced burger…

This has become a burger hot spot for several reasons. That being said, it is probably not in my top 3 for favorite burger joints around. THAT being said, here are some things they are doing well:
1. The fries. They are hot and crispy and you get a TON of them.
2. Unlimited toppings: Who wouldn’t love to get grilled onions and mushrooms for free! True, the base price of the burger probably makes up for it, but I really appreciate all the topping options.
3. Friendly service: They greet you when you walk in the door and the tellers are up beat helpful.
4. They will lettuce wrap your burger
Where I think they could improve:
1. They seem to be pretty big on advertising fresh ingredients… Which is why I am baffled that they are using processed cheese. True, it melts like a dream… But it can’t beat the real thing.
2. The burger itself is lacking in flavor a little. The last time I went there I found myself looking for the salt packets.
As far as price vs. What you are getting, 5 guys isn’t at the top of my list, but it is a decent alternative to the traditional fast food joint.

Of the dozens of fast food places in the area, Five Guys is the best.
Their burgers are fresh and tasty, with lots of options for toppings… most of which are free!
Their fries are some of the best you’ll find, anywhere.
The service is always fast and friendly and they’ll get to you quickly, even if there’s a long line in front of you.
Survey says… YUM!

Two of the greatest mysteries in the world are…1) Why can’t In N’ Out figure out there fries need fixing? and 2) Why can’t Five Guys figure out that their buns crumble and leave you with a mess? I like there burgers and love their fries, but I get annoyed with how the bun at Five Guys basically just disintegrates on you mid-​meal and you are trying to figure out how to hold it with a couple of fingers while it all slops around. That may be someone’s preferred way of being all American with their burger. I’m not saying I need to be all European and pull out a knife and fork to eat a burger… I just want a bun that can go the distance and Five Guy’s can’t deliver. I’ll still eat here, but not if my new fave burger chain is close by.

Best location I have found! I love Five Guys! Their Cajun Fries are the best hands down!
Every time we come to this location the staff is super friendly and patient. (It can get super busy) Their location is always clean which is nice. We never have to wait long to order or get our food even when the line is almost out the door.
You seriously can’t go wrong here! My favorite is the small cheese burger and cajun friend. The regular size of cajun fries is big enough to share I promise!!!

Putting 5 guys in my mouth was a dream come true. ;)
Seriously though, this is a great lunch spot. It’s easier to get in and out of this place than the surrounding lunch spots.
In addition to being quick, the food is amazing. Custom burgers with fresh toppings made just the way you want it. It is delicious! And DO NOT forget the Cajun fries (1 order is good for 2 – 3 people).
The service is spot on, the food is great and it’s quick to get your lunch and head on your way which makes Five Guys Burgers and Fries a great lunchtime destination!

Fresh made burgers, made to order. Hand formed. Great choices for add ons. WONDERFUL!
Then add the SMALL order of spicy fries and WOW, you are happy and full.
If you are leary of grease on your fries, these are not for you.
One of the very best burger joints!

Very good burger; just understand that in Five Guys’ world, a «Little Cheeseburger» is a regular-​sized burger, and a «Cheeseburger» is actually a double. I like that you can choose from a list of toppings, and I appreciate the generous portion of fries (1 regular fries will feed two people). Try to avoid the busy times as the wait can get pretty long.
However, I gotta dock them a star for their disappointing bun. They use basic (and flavorless) sesame-​seed buns, the same kind you can get in bulk at Costco. If I’m paying premium prices for a burger, I expect premium ingredients top to bottom. It may seem like a trivial complaint, but any true burger lover will understand how much better a burger can be with a fresh, quality bun.

I received great service and food from this location. The guy working at the till was friendly and ran me through the options. The food was prepared quickly and the positive attitude of the staff made quite an impression on me.
I’d heard of 5 Guys before moving down from Canada but never been. Now I deeply regret going to Wendy’s last week. They even had free wifi and Coke Zero in their drink dispenser.

We ordered a kid size burger and fries for the toddler. It was big enough for an adult! Burger was very tasty. Fries were thin and crispy. I liked it. They also give free peanuts while waiting for the food.
Overall very satisfactory experience for a fast food chain.
4 stars because it’s pricey for a fast food.

Cheeseburger, fresh, good… Not worth seven bucks though! And that’s just the burger. Add another three bucks for small fry??? Don’t think I’ll be back without a coupon.

Great burger and awesome cajun fries with fry sauce.

Free peanuts!
That’s great because you pay a ton of money for a chain burger joint burger…
I liked it. But, the cost…

When the whole package is bundled up and weighted, they do make a nice burger. And I do prefer it to many other places around town. But it’s not quiiiiite my favorite kind of burger space.
That distinction, of course, belongs to the divey burger joints. Five guys is still a bit too sterile for me. Not sterile in the clean way – no, no – they are clean, but I’m not fussing about them being too sanitary. I just mean that although it’s solid food (a burger with strength) it’s all sorta beentheredonethat. It’s the kind of experience that you could have at any one of the Five Guys around town. Some would call the consistency comforting or reliable. Yes. Agreed. But if I have the chance to dive into a place called Big Mama’s (true story, I found a burger joint by that name in California) I’m hitting up Mama and leaving those five guys for a time when there’s nothing else around. Admittedly, the food may or may not be better, but I’m after the whole of it. Food. Feel. Atmosphere. And Five Guys isn’t quiiiiite there for me.

I hate to give 5 stars to a chain, but it’s the best burger. I read a great article on the ingredient selection process and all the hard work has paid off.
Only problem with this location is the sewer outside often stinks.

Best burger around. No place beats in my opinion.
Fresh real meat, fresh ingredients (yeah this is starting to sound like a Papa Johns commercial) but at any rate we’ve never had a bad experience here from the get go. The order is always right, fresh and hot.
My family loves Five Guys.
The only complaint is that they made the store too small, doesn’t work out well when everyone loves what you serve and there are no seats (especially when you bring the kids along).
