Five Guys Burgers and Fries

They Just have the best burgers, period! Seriously. Fresh cut fries. I mean. Come on.

I love Five Guys for the fact that there aren’t many kids or adults with annoying food requirements. I am grateful for such segregation; especially, the annoying kids part, and the helicopter parents (or are these «snowplough parents?»)
To boot, their burgers are fantastic, baring other competitors I favour.

Well that was awesome. I love fries and everything in it. Its like a dream come true for us to have this kind of fries and the treatment was good. Wonder why they still have negative reviews here on Unilocal.
On that day, I heard someone said that why is the service here is so slow but on my point of view, the customer is just rushing things. He’s just here like 5 minutes and wants the take out order in 2 – 3 minutes? I think thats impossible considering you are not the only customer.

No frills classic Hamburger joint for over inflated prices.
Definitely nothing wrong with the burgers or fries from Five Guys. Burgers have an old school feel but you can get better burgers and fries in the city for a fraction of the price. I’d rather go to burger’s priest or big smoke myself.
Love that they have free shelled peanuts to eat while you wait. And the food is good, but over 14 dollars for a fast food burger and fries, and no drink isn’t great value… Also the cheese on the burgers weren’t fully melted. They have all the classic burger toppings you need but nothing interesting. Also they gave us tons of fries, probably too many. There was like a second helping of fries in the bag. BAG FRIES! Also the Cajun style fries arent all that spectacular…
Definitely worth a try if you’ve never been before, but not on my list of places I’d have to return.

This is my second review of five guys, simply put, the burgers are bland, the people don’t know how to use the POS system for a GIFT CARD. burger falls apart and is dry and under-​seasoned. fries are so so. it’s loud, it’s noisy I have to wait over 25 minutes for a fucking hamburger and fires. not impressed with the quality of the food or the quality of the customer service. never going back, especially as it seems to be part of their training to be rude as hell, slam your drink cup down in front of you and once they’re done with one order walk off and have a vape in back (which by the way is ILLEGAL TO DO in a kitchen or food service area) and I really don’t appreciate being greeted with «What you want?» well not greeted, more barked at. honestly, I don’t see how they’re still in business here. I guess Americans just don’t have taste buds and like getting a crappy burger. wouldn’t feed this to my dog or worse enemy, though mind you my dog usually eats better than me. I think from now on, I will avoid you guys like the plague. even if you DO have good classic rock playing. although when you’ve heard Led Zeppelin’s Black Dog for the 8^th time in a row, stop, please? really am not impressed with them. and not willing to wait 25 minutes for a burger and fires that are just poured into a paper bag

My expectations were high, the price even more so. Almost $ 20 for a burger and fries combo is rather outrageous considering how generic the food is. For that kind of money at a fast food joint, I expect something special, and unique. The Five Guys burger was good, but not good enough to warrant the price tag. The fries, were, well… fries. Nothing special about them at all. Altogether, a pleasant experience, somewhat soured by the bill.

This place never disappoints! A really nice little diner with over the top burgers. I’m not usually a burger person but this place is definitely an exception.

Un classic lorsque l’on est à Toronto.
Les Burgers sont à tomber. Le service est cependant un peu lent mais ça vaut le coup.
Et c’est tout de même agréable de pouvoir suivre la préparation de son Burger en direct

The burger is good but not astoundingly good (unlike Carl’s Jr). But then burgers here are fried and at Carl’s Jr grilled so maybe they’re not worth the comparison.
Anyhow I appreciate the plain beef patty not being flavorful, for the lack of sodium. Apart from that, I think the burgers compete alright.
What’s astoundingly good here is their fries (both flavors). They taste like real and freshly chopped potatoes.

The best burger I’ve every had and fries to boot.
Since I’ve had Five Guys burgers my bar has been raised and there aren’t many gourmet burger joints that meet the taste and burger experience like Five Guys does.
The fries are fantastic.
The restaurant ambiance is perfect as well.

A great location with alright burgers nothing significant, the burger is cooked mostly unevenly, some parts are either colder, harder, chewier. Buns fall apart after a few bites. The topping list is large enough and Cajun style fries are a good addition. They play nice rock music, staff are both friendly and all over the place too, the cleanliness is decent. Overall, a good enough decent place for students to grab a burger.

Had a double cheese burger and it was pretty good. Not to sure about the whole you can’t make a combo business but it’s not a bad place. Still doesn’t compare to the burger priest, stockyards and parts and labour but for being so close to Yonge Dundas good for them

I have visited this place on a number of occasions and I have never been disappointed in the way the food tastes. I usually go to the one on Warden in Scarborough but I’ve tried other locations as well. The taste is always consistent and the burgers are always taste fresh which I love. I usually get a small burger with cheese and fries. Although the burger is the star, one cannot overlook the delicious home-​cut fries. The décor is consistent with their branding. My only gripe about the place is that it’s a bit expensive, but that hasn’t stopped me from going.

Burgers are amazing. Fresh, juicy with a top quality meat. They are pricey for fast food place.

Gave this place a first try today and I was overall impressed. It had the décor of a deli kitchen with the red and white tiles all around. Meanwhile you can see the cooks at work on your burger order. The place was clean and peaceful. The dining area entailed the presence of wooden tables and chairs that looked like it belonged to a kindergarten classroom from the 1980s.
With respect to the food, It was a fairly sized burger (regular size) that was tasty. A regular size fries was quite a large portion as well as the regular size drink which cost a bit over $ 15 altogether after taxes which is only a few bucks more than most McDonald’s combos. but at this place (Five Guys) you get a quality made burger and fries along with friendly service.

To be fair, my review is based on a take out order, which would explain the soggy buns because they looked perfect as I watched them make my burger.
I came here during my lunch break as I needed something quick and The staff here work efficiently to make sure everyone gets their burger fast! I probably only waited five minutes before mine was ready.
That said, Five Guys isn’t what you would expect at gourmet burger joints like Burger Priest or P&L so the toppings are quite basic. So, if you’re one who enjoys classic burgers, this may be the place for you.
By the time I got back to my office and unwrapped my burger from the ton foil, the buns were soggy already, but the ingredients tasted very fresh! It all ends up the same in my stomach anyway. I’ll be back next time to dine in!

If you want something other than the standard arches around Yonge/​Dundas in a takeout place, this is it. I don’t usually go to these larger chains, but I just had to have a burger.
There is a lot to be said for having a clean and spacious place when you’re downtown, and this place delivers. They cook the food in front of you so you can see everything’s done properly. The red and bright white décor makes you feel confident in the place’s cleanliness, even the washroom smells fresh!
The burger patty is made with high quality beef, and the ‘Lil’ burger I got is what I would call a regular size at most quality places, so you’re definitely getting value for portions. The toppings are generously heaped, and includes all the usuals, with higher quality lettuce and tomatoes. You get your basics and your sauteed onions, but more selection with relishes and mustards would definitely kick it up a notch. Maybe the clientele likes it simple, but it’s up to individual taste I suppose.

This place is quite big space for a burger place and its definitely convenient for students to enjoy better quality burgers than your ‘Mc’D’. Although, I do have to agree with fellow Unilocalers that this place is quite pricey as well for two burgers (cheese, and cheese w/​bacon, with one regular fries and drink) priced at just under $ 30! I may as well go to a restaurant to enjoy with tip payment to pay this scale for burger + fries.
The thing I like about the burgers were the topping varieties… Definitely better than ‘Harvey’s’ and lots of burger places. The burger meat reminded me of ‘Wendy’s’! They add two pressed patties into your sauce and topping choice.
This place gets a 3.5÷5 overall.

I don’t get the hype. It’s an alright burger, but I don’t find anything incredibly special about it that warrants the price. 8 bucks for a cheeseburger and nothing else?
Fresh ingredients, and handcrafted patties are a nice change from your standard fast food.
I swear I’m not an old lady, but the music is just so loud in there. You’d think you’re in a night club.

Je suis tellement déçue par Five Guys ! J’en ai entendu que du bien que ce soit sur Unilocal ou même sur Youtube (taper Dayum dans la barre de recherché) et résultat mes attentes étaient beaucoup trop grandes.
Situé en plein centre, près du centre commercial Eaton, Five Guys a l’avantage d’être près de tout et je l’ai trouve super propre !
J’ai toujours ete curieuse sur le fait que les burgers soient enveloppes dans de l’aluminium mais apparement c’est juste pour garder la chaleur, ce aui est pratique mais j’aurai prefere quelque chose de plus naturel, du moins quant a l’apparence.
Pendant l’attente des peanuts/​cacahuetes sont a disposition. Un ami me conseille d’aller voir au comptoir ou l’on voit directement la preparation de nos commandes. Les frites sont renverses sauvagement dans le sachet en papier (fait expres) et du coup on voit tout le gras que les frites contiennent. Sac plastique a prevoir si vous voulez pas salir toutes vos affaires.
Je n’ai pas beaucoup aime les frites, la peau y est laissee mais c’est une affaire de gout.
J’ai choisi de prendre un cheeseburger et j’ai eu la surprise d’y trouver 2 steaks (je voulais juste le fromage en plus d’un burger simple).
Le bun est tout mou et devient vite pateux en bouche, la garniture est bonne sans plus.
Je trouve que c’est assez cher pour ce que c’est mais c’est a essayer au moins une fois.

Its not as good as dedicated Burger joints like holy chucks or burgers priest, but it’s better than hero Burger or any fast food joint.
The Burgers: Burgers are cooked well done, and are made to order. They have a plethora of toppings that can be added and though cooked well done, it’s plenty juicy.
The fries: The fries are definitely a winner. Fresh cut fries, sourced from different potatoes week to week and come in plain or cajun. A small order is enough for 2, as they give you a container of fries, and then dump a container of loose fries into the bag. Who doesn’t love eating «bag fries»?! It’s like a gift within a gift.
All in all if I’m around Yonge and dundas and am in the mood for a burger, I opt for 5 guys over big smoke in Eaton centre.

I bought the hype and decided to give this place a try after meeting up with a friend over lunch since it is a midway point between our two workplaces.
The food there is not cheap and they align themselves in pricing with the many other «gourmet» burger joints that have sprung over over the past five years or so.
I didn’t really pay attention to the grilling method of the burger which I could easily have done with the open kitchen concept but the burger I got lacked flavour and juiciness. Needless to say, I was disappointed.
The fries were pretty good but didn’t really stand out from the pack.
Service was friendly, lots of people were there but I don’t think I’ll be back. At least I finished it and was full afterwards.

Vous aimez les hamburgers? Vous aimez les frites ayant du goût? C’est chez Five Guys qu’il faut aller. Situé à deux pas de la place Dundas, ce restaurant style ‘fast food’ est particulièrement porté sur la qualité et le bon goût !
