Five Guys Burgers and Fries

Too expensive, it’s like 15 bucks for a decent burger, mediocre fries, and a drink. Cut the amount of fries I get by about 90%, cut the price down a few bucks and I might consider going back.

Wonderful experience today! Pleasant service clean eating area and good food. We happened here by chance after a long visit to Bass Pro Shops. We were expecting Italian, but decided to stay after realizing it was a burger joint. We dined with a three and seven year old one of whom declared it was his favorite place after having tried the fries.

I usually come to Five Guys for a burger, but tonight I was encouraged by the nice gal behind the counter to try to veggie sandwich, as it is one of her favorite items, and since I said I wasn’t very hungry. All I have to say is YUM! Definitely a wonderful suggestion and the service was great. Oh. and make sure to get the green peppers grilled :).

Atmosphere is casual, nothing to write home about. The music was too loud for my taste. The burgers are some of the best you can get, period. You can throw on whatever toppings your heart desires as well. Fries are fresh, and a greasy gut bomb (I write that in a good way). The specialized Coke machine allows you to get whatever type of Coke product you desire. My only complaint is the price, $ 7 for a cheeseburger is a bit steep. But, the burgers are so good I can look the other way

My daughter and I tried Five Guys today for the first time. I have mixed feelings. 1. When you walk in the music is so loud it literally overwhelms you. 2. It took 17 minutes to get our food, way to long for a couple burgers and fries. But the burger was delicious and worth the wait, the fries on the other hand were moist, limp and tasteless. I love a crispy seasoned fry. I’m giving 3 stars because it is a burger place and it was a great burger. If I was totally honest I probably won’t return.

Awesome food and service. Thank to the staff for the tin pan of water for my service dog.

we have been here a couple of times and walk away full. they really overload you with fries and the burgers are good .we will be back for more

Disgustingly awesome grease-​ball burgers and fries (and more fries, whether you want them or not, as they’re apparently multiplying out of control and have to be given away in bulk before they rise up and conquer us all)!!! So good, but I feel like it shaves a few years off of my life every time I eat here (it’s a good thing they’re the years all the way at the end though, right?!).
My favourite thing about Five Guys is the use of fresh jalapenos, instead of the pickled kind.

To be honest. Most Five Guy places I have been ate all the same. One doesn’t really stand out from the other and that’s a good thing. That means they are consistent. Good burger and good fries. That grease stain on the brown bag makes my mouth water.

Several years ago, Five Guys Burgers and fries arrived in my area. Eager to see what all the hype was about, I gave them a shot. Taking the whole family out for a burger experience, we were also taking a chance. Boy was I right! Some things discovered about Five Guys. Nice and clean restaurant with very friendly service. On the flip side the place is very expensive for a burger, fry and drink. For a family of four we easily spent over $ 50. Lastly the burgers were not seasoned and very bland, the fries were greasy and not seasoned as well. I personally made it a mission to make my own burger after this experience and never returned to Five Guys again… until today
Having a craving for a burger for lunch, I decided to give Five Guys another chance. Thinking that my experience with them from years ago must have gotten better after all these year… I was wrong.
$ 14.73 for a double bacon cheese burger with a few toppings, fries and a drink. Once again the burger was tasteless, did not hold together well — I had a big mess half way through my lunch, and it was greasy. The fries, they gave me a lot of them. I notice the brown bag they were in was saturated with grease. Made me sick just looking at it. I tasted a few, they were greasy as I observed and had no flavor. I sprinkled some salt on them but there was no amount of salt that could improve the taste. The highlight of my meal was the drink. Dispensed from a multiply drink machine, it was nice and cold.
I just don understand the hype about this restaurant. There are better burger places than these. The service with a smile was GREAT, adding an additional start to the review I was about to leave. The food on the other hand, is discussing. I really felt «icky» when I left that place. I will not be returning to Five Guys Burgers and Fries.

You have to be careful how you order your burger if you have never visited a Five Guys. I ordered a cheeseburger with my toppings. and it turns out to be a double cheese burger, and a bag of fries! It was perfectly cooked and seasoned.

If you’re eating here with a family on a budget, be smart. The food is amazing. Many people complain that it’s overpriced, but when you take into consideration the portion sizes, you really do get what you pay for.
First off, a regular order of fries is enough for an entire family. I do not joke when I say that my family of six will only order one regular and have enough. Two orders, and we are taking a good bit home with us.
Second, even the smallest burger is more than a child can eat alone. I can order one burger and split it between two kids. If I don’t feel like ordering a burger, the kids can each have hot dogs (and kosher ones, at that). Either way, you can get out spending $ 2.50 — $ 3.00 a kid for burgers /​hot dogs if you keep that in mind.
Lastly, they typically do not have an issue with sharing drinks, as long as the members of your party can agree on one of the thousands of potential soft drinks.
Our family can get out of there spending $ 30, if we plan ahead and keep these things in mind. However, if it’s a group of adults headed out (and you don’t split the fries), expect to spend between $ 10 and $ 15 per person.

The fries are very good and they give you a lot. I love the soda machine, however the burger was pink inside and now I feel as though I have food poisoning and can not stay out of the bathroom for longer than thirty minutes. I am very disappointed because I have heard such good things about them

The employees are always very nice and welcoming. Always busy yet the wait time is not long and the food is delish! I love this place :)

The food is great for that cheeseburger craving you get. The down side is the calories and price.

This is a fast food joint. Plain and simple. The food is good, for fast food. However, there are two issues I have. It cost me $ 12-​$ 13 for a burger, fries, and a drink. I can go to a restaurant and have the same thing for less money and it be much better. Secondly, I don’t need 2 lbs of french fries for a small order. Lower your price and give me a small order. I would pay $ 8-​$ 9 for the meal but anything more than that is just too pricey for fast food.

I was first introduced to Five Guys when we lived in DC about a decade ago and just like everyone else, I loved it. Five Guys is a great burger joint and despite it being clean, having a solid staff at every place I’ve been to, having fairly quick service and being extremely tasty burgers, fries and dogs I cannot give it 5 Stars… and here’s why.
1. Patties are a little small when cooked, they need to be ¼ after cooking or close to it.
2. They always skimp on the jalapenos even when I ask for extra. 4 – 5 thin sliced jalapenos is not a normal order 8 – 9 (one pepper) is a normal order so extra is two jalapenos. Hey Guys, quit skimping on the peno’s.
3. They don’t have the mustard available… you have to go to the counter… that can be a wait when they’re busy, which is all the time.
4. No good desert (can’t help it I have a sweet tooth).
OK I know some of those are pretty dumb but I’m sticking to my decision, 4.5 Stars (rounding down) = 4 Stars, sorry Guys.

One visit does not make a five star rating but I was worthy. The food was delicious, I am a fan.
Thanks for the recommendations. It was a bit pricey, but 5 adults for $ 65 is not too bad.

Walked in and they were playing Led Zeppelin. They had me right there! I was a little worried when I looked up and saw such a small menu when I read at the bottom that you can fix your burger up just about any way you want. The food was just above fast food quality but no other fast food joints have freshly sauteed onions and green peppers. The free peanuts was a nice touch too. Oh and believe what every body says, you get a LOT of fries. I was going to order two, one for me and one for my two sons to split up when the cashier told me to just get one pack. She was right!

I was so excited that a Five Guys was opening up in Hampton that I waited over an hour in line the first day. I wasn’t really worth the wait, but I like attending over-​hyped events like that. I’ve been there a few more times, but I’m not in love with this place like I used to be. Great spot for a casual burger-​and-​fries lunch though. The food is made to order, so be prepared to wait a little.
Pros: Free toppings (I always get BBQ sauce, A1, lettuce, tomato, grilled onions, grilled mushrooms, pickles, jalapenos), tasty fries, notecards and crayons to doodle on when waiting for food, conveniently located across the street from Target.
Cons: This is just me being a fatty, but I think their french fry portions have shrunk significantly. My boyfriend and I always share the regular size Cajun-​style fries and there would be more than enough for the both of us. On our last visit, it seemed like the portion was cut by at least one third. I’m not sure if they still dump an extra scoop of fries in the bag like they used to.
UPDATE: July 18, 2010: Okay, the fries are back to their normal, gigantic portions. Please ignore my earlier complaint above :)
