Five Guys Burgers and Fries

Been here too many times to count. Delicious and nothing more to say. Speechless. Go now

Five Guys is a burger lovers paradise … ok, maybe that’s a little extreme but it sure is GOOD! They offer burgers and a «little» variety of the same burgers. If you have a big appetite then go for the normal size. As far as toppings, you can gave your burger anyway you like. I typically go all the way which means everything :) The Northcrest location doesn’t disappoint. Fast and friendly service and the food is excellent.

I’ve been to five guys a few times, here and in Texas. It is a typical burger place where you have to order and they’ll call out your number to get the food. The chairs and tables make the place seems crowded even though it’s an average size place.
The menu doesn’t have any combo so you have to order everything separately. Each burger have free toppings. I had the little cheeseburger with lettuce, tomatoes and pickles. It tastes like a regular burger. Don’t expect it to be amazing or the best burger. I also had the Cajun fries which was very delicious! It’s a bit pricey… almost $ 4 but they loaded it a lot inside the bag so I guess that’s fine.
I wouldn’t mind coming back to this place again if I was tired of other burger places. Overall, it’s a decent burger joint to go to!

Once again, this tops the charts for customer service and atmosphere. The staff is terrific, engaging the customers with a smile and real sense of wanting to make the experience top notch as well as complimenting each other on hard work and a great job done through a busy lunch period. As always, the food was amazing, the unlimited peanuts and drinks are a bonus and the drink dispensers are the way of the future. It’s as if you were at a Disney World restaurant and everyone 8s there to help you share in the magic of the moment. Great job Five Guys!

This is one of those classic examples of determining does 5 Guys succeed in what it is trying to achieve for a restaurant? The answer is — yes it does. The burgers are juicy, sloppy to eat, and come loaded with whatever you want. Be forewarned, if you plan on eating lots of the free peanuts, and consuming heaps of their fries — consider ordering the smaller sized burger.
Speaking of the fries. They are cut in house, but are definitely not crispy. They have a self-​service ketchup dispenser where you put what you want in small cups. They also have vinegar available. Soft drinks are dispensed through one of the fancy new 100+ combinations machines — but when the place is busy it can get backed up with folks that don’t understand the machine or kids that are playing around.
The atmosphere is typical for fast food, but what sticks out is the hard metal chairs. If the goal is to keep people from sitting and lingering — perhaps noshing on loads of free peanuts — then 5 Guys is succeeding because the chairs are very uncomfortable. The place is always clean, trash bins are always being emptied, and they do a great job of keeping the tables clean.
Overall, pretty typical 5 Guys. It achieves what it is trying to be — a higher end fast food burger joint. It’s not cheap, but they try really hard to make sure customers get what they want, in a somewhat fun place, while serving pretty decent burgers and fries (and peanuts!)

Good! Better than McD’s

At the time of my review here… this place has a total of 4-​stars. Are you kidding me? I was actually excited to go here, as I had heard people liked it. The atmosphere is weird, as the tables are way to close together, and you can watch them make everything, similar to a cafeteria. Besides getting a zero for atmosphere, I was still optimistic about good food. The burgers only come well-​done, which is ok with me, but not other people. I got a cheeseburger with 4 – 5 toppings. They wrap it up tight and toss it in a brown bag, whether it’s here or to go. So, unwrapping it… the burger was kind of smashed. It was ok tasting, but far from great, and definitely not worth the price. It tasted similar to Steak & Shake. The fries were also sub-​par, as they were mostly soggy. This place was a big let-​down. Probably won’t be back, as there are too many better places out there.

This was my first time in a 5 brothers; The burger was good; not great in my opinion.
If I had to compare it to another burger joint I’d say the burger tasted like Steak & Shake but with thicker patties.
The fries on the other hand; although abundant were soggy and very bland tasting. I seen that they do offer «Cajun seasoned» fries maybe that would have been a better option.
However at over $ 12 for an ok burger, so-​so fries, and a small coke, I doubt ill be back to try the seasoned fries…

I love this place. good food good service

It’s a great place to eat a burger loaded with anything that you want on it. Service is fast and don’t you love those peanuts and the many different flavors of coke products !!

Who doesn’t like an entire bag of fries??? LOL. Ok, they got burgers, fries, and hot dogs. That’s about it for the most part. I must say the burgers do taste very good, and the fries are so nice and fresh.
But the price, ouch, it’s pretty pricey for the burger. And it’s not a massive burger, it’s just your average sized burger, which is fine, because sometimes you don’t need to eat a 5 pound burger! But they do give you a redonkulous amount of fries to eat. So you can get your fill here.
I never go there on my own. My dad is a big fan, and whenever my parents stop into town, they do like to go there and that is usually when I end up there.

Absolutely the best burgers and fries in Fort Wayne!

Burgers are HUGE. I have to be really ready to eat when I come here, but boy when I do, I leave happy. I always get sautéed onions, cheese, and BBQ sauce. Can’t get a burger like it anywhere else. It’s not a burger, it’s an experience. The fries are just okay. A small order is enough to split between two. But the burger is why you come here. Yum!

Nurse! We need another burger injection! Fill the syringe with 450cc’s of butter, cheese, ground beef. Good. Now, do it again. It’s going to be a double!
Five Guys was actually started by One Guy who blew to 1100 pounds over the course of 3 years as he experimented with a new burger recipe. Then, using science, they divided him up into 5 sections. Each section was dedicated to their own specialized way of getting the new burgers in the hands of the «Uninitiated». When you eat a Five Guys burger you enter into a special club. A Five Guys burger isn’t just a nourishing meal, it’s a pact to you and your fellow man. The burger will make you see the world in whole new ways and make you wonder why any other place is allowed to sell burgers that aren’t Five Guys burgers. It will give you sight beyond sight and make you able to talk to dead relatives for a short amount of time.
What I’m saying is that my mouth is watering as I write this review because it’s been 6 months since I’ve had a Five Guys burger and I’m having visions of the last time I was there. Oh wait, I’m here right now enjoying a Five Guys burger and I’m in heaven. Maybe I had a heart attack but it was worth it.

Wow, now that’s one delicious burger! The fries are fresh cut and amazing — better than In N Out fries. A little expensive but big portions and totally worth it.

Excellent burgers and fries — unique soda machine that offers raspberry flavoring for their coke products! You have to see this machine to believe it — never saw a soda dispenser like this before!
Prices are steep but burgers are huge — a «little» is bigger than the Burger King Whopper and the toppings are to die for…
Toppings include: mayo, lettuce, pickles, tomatoes, grilled onions, grilled mushrooms, ketchup, mustard, hot cause, relish, onions, jalapeño peppers, green peppers, A-​1 Sauce, Bar-​B-​Q sauce or just cheese!
Also has hot dogs (kosher style, cheese, bacon and bacon cheese).
Veggie Sandwich, cheese veggie and grilled cheese.
Burgers are hamburger, cheeseburger, bacon burger and bacon cheeseburger — and the «little» varieties of the above.
Fries are regular or large in either Five Guys Style or Cajun —
Do yourself a favor and come hungry or with someone to help you share a burger and fries!

To sum it up as best I can for the tl;dr crowd: Good burgers, excellent fries, excellent drink selection, expensive pricing, atrocious nutrition.
Went here for lunch with my wife. We each ordered a bacon cheeseburger and each got a small fry. First off I was blown away by their soft drink selection (they had Diet Barq’s Vanilla). The atmosphere was middle of the road for me. As with another reviewer, I found the self-​promoting signage inside to be a bit tacky. What is the point of it? I’m already inside the restaurant. The atmosphere was loud but clean (I watched an employee thoroughly clean the empty tables and chairs). The burgers were good, but imo nothing to write home about and certainly not as good as Red Robin. The fries were the star for us. I ordered a small Cajun fry and was impressed by not only the flavor but also amount of fries.
Now lets get to the pricing and nutrition. First off it was much more expensive than I expected. The burger was $ 6+ and quite frankly I didn’t think it was a $ 6 burger. The nutrition… well obviously you don’t go to a burger joint for the nutrition. With that said I was surprised when I got home and looked up the fat and calorie cost of the food. For this aspect alone we won’t be returning much.

I can’t say I am a connoisseur of the hamburger, or steamed hams as they are known in upstate New York. I do enjoy them from time to time. My wife and I heard good things about 5 Guys and decided to check it out after our zoo trip. The place was fairly large, but the first thing I noticed was the décor. Past the constant repeating red and white patterns, much like that of an anal retentive’s newborn room, was the self congratulatory news clippings everywhere. This rang some alarms in my head, as if they were pulling a psychological ad trick by placing a strong suggestion that their food is that amazing.
The menu was simple but somewhat confusing. The only ways they prepare the burger are «juicy» and well done. I have no idea what «juicy means in terms of cooking. Does it mean rare, extra greasy, or soaked in bovine blood?
The woman behind the register acted as if I should of known what they were all about; like how could I have possibly never been to their establishment before, had I not read all their news clippings? After getting a muffled response and annoyed stare after asking how thick their patties were, I ordered 2 cheese burgers, a large order of fries and 2 drinks. 20 dollars seemed like a lot, no wonder the toppings were free.
I waited for a few minutes, not bad service, until my number was called. I had 2 large sodas, so the bag had to rest against my arm. The hot grease started to melt through the bag, burning my arm somewhat. I must note that I take full responsibility for that. Totally my bad, but I want to illustrate just how greasy the food was.
We arrived home and began to eat. The sack, despite being soaked in grease, didn’t really diminish the grease in the fries. There’s a white board that announces where the potatoes are from, but Idaho seems like a long distance to travel just to become grease sponges. The burger wasn’t horrible, but it wasn’t good either. Way too much grease, and the bun looked as though it had been manhandled by a bouncer.
About 20 minutes later, my wife and I both felt ill, our stomachs hurt and we were both quite shaky. After several waves of nausea and vomiting on my part, I’m feeling somewhat better, but hardly 100%. Was it the worse burger I’ve eaten? 5 Guys love to show off their praise, but like anything too hyped up, if it fails, it fails hard. Especially at their prices. Getting sick didn’t help much either.

I just went to Five Guys for lunch yesterday, Saturday April 1^st. It’s located in the Northcrest Shopping Center, across from the Best Buy and Kohl’s.
I had a Cheeseburger with mayo, tomato, grilled onions, grilled mushrooms and jalapeño peppers. It had two patties and costs $ 5.09 plus tax. (The «Little» burgers have single patties.) We (my wife, my son and I) shared a «Large» order of fries, which was HUGE and could easily have been shared with another person! These are freshly cut from big potatoes, with skins attached.
The burger was very thick (hard to stretch my mouth big enough to take bite!) and delicious! The fries were also wonderful and very plentiful.
Actually, this place reminds me strongly of the «In-​and-​Out Burger» places I’ve been to in California. You have to order and wait for your freshly cooked and assembled burger, unlike most fast food places that have their burgers pre-​made and waiting for you in their hot keeping places. Their fries are also freshly cut and fried to order.

I really enjoy the burgers here and I’m not really a huge meat person. It just tastes so good. I always get the mini bacon chese burger (which is just the same size as the big one, but it has one patty and the big one has 2 pattys).
There are so many toppings to choose from, all of which are included in the price of the hamburger. I always get mushrooms, raw onions, tomatoes, lettuce, pickles, mayo, mustard, and kechup, along with the cheese and wonderful bacon that comes on it… did I mention how great this bacon is? So crispy and good!!!
You can get regular fries (great fresh tasting fries) or cajon style (never tried them so I have no idea if they are good). I always get the smaller of the 2 sizes and it is more than enough to share with someone else! The bag and the cup it comes in are just overflowing with fries.
They don’t offer much more options than burgers, hotdogs, and fries, but they know how to do some burgers! I’m so happy I finally tried this place about a month ago. I’ve been back around 3 – 4 times now and this will be my go-​to burger joint from now on!
