Five Guys Burgers and Fries

Always delicious and fresh! While I love In-​n-​Out Burgers the most, if I want a burger with all the fixings, this is my go to place. The two burgers don’t compare and both have their true attributes. Love the fresh fries as well.

Great burgers and fries, a step better than Mooyah. Also a step or two more expensive. You could eat at Culvers twice for the price of one meal at Five Guys. So that’s my only complaint. Thanks!

Finally had time to try 5 guys last night.
Walked in and right away I was acknowledged and the staff at the grill also let the other staff know. I thought that was great! The menu is simple yet confusing. Brush up on your menu knowledge before you go. It will make it that much easier for first timers.
I liked the décor with the boxes lined up and peanuts for the taking. Clever!
My order was taken and ready within 5 minutes! There were a few people eating, it was around 9PM which orders probably take a little long during peak times.
My burgers were delicious. I got the large ones which must mean 2 patties (?) instead of a small burger which must mean 1 patty. They were yummy none the less!
I am rating 4 because of 2 things:
–The regular fries were not very good. Maybe the Cajun fries are better.
–The chocolate shake was overpriced. I had to try it and wont do that again.
But for a yummy burger this is the place to go!

Was it good? Yes. Was it worth the 9 dollars for the burger? No. I like the fact that it’s not frozen and made right in front of you, but dinner for two was over 40 dollars with one beverage. Crazy pricy. Great amount of food, couldn’t get close to finishing the burger or fries. Will I be back? Probably not.

Alright, I’m not going to say much here other than I freakin love Five Guys Burgers. People say they love the peanuts there. Well what the hell people. Burgers, cajun fries, food coma, guilt, that’s what you go there for. Trust me.
Burger and Cajun Fries: You just gotta love how they throw everything in the bag because they know you’re just going to rip the bag open right away anyways.
Bacon Cheeseburger: If you haven’t been to Five Guys before, your burgers are totally customizable. I’m a fan of lettuce, mayo, and jalapenos. You do what you like.

I’ve never been to a Five Guys before, and the woman at the register was very helpful in describing the menu to me and my family. The service was quick and they were friendly. But with three people, the bill was a bit pricey. Nonetheless the food was good. A tiny bit crowded, but tables were clean and tended to regularly.

For me the burger was really just average, nothing special at all. I would never go there again for a burger but their fries were delicious.

Food:
I’m not sure what all the fuss is about. I ordered a cheeseburger with everything («all the way»). This $ 7.69 double burger was good, but nothing to write home about. All of those toppings are great, but I was hoping that the quality of the meat would be something spectacular, but it didn’t taste much different than any other far less expensive burger. They don’t use what I consider to be real cheese. This is Wisconsin, people! There is no excuse for fake cheese here. It reminded me of Kraft Singles. My children each had what they call a Little Burger which is a single patty. For $ 5.69 each, I should have just ordered one regular cheese burger (which again, is a double patty) and split it in half. I’m really interested in why they price it this way. The fries were good but nothing special. The ketchup they serve is cold-​yuck. Their fountain drink selection is a newer model with endless drink choices. They have two of these machines so there is virtually never any waiting.
ATMOSPHERE:
When you walk through the double doors, you are blasted with super loud music. Whoa. While in the restaurant, the music is almost as loud but tolerable. At least it was a good mix of classic rock and more current music. The restaurant is kept very cold. I couldn’t find a thermostat to report specifics, but it was uncomfortably cold like the ketchup. The restroom seemed clean and the water from the sink is fixed at a cozy warm temperature, though it was way too hot for my kids’ more sensitive hands. The staff is very patient, friendly and happy to be there. I witnessed lots of staff smiles and a verbal reassurance to one customer whose order was taking an extra few minutes. I always enjoy seeing this type of positive energy.
OVERALL:
Personally, I may or may not stop here again. A previous reviewer was concerned with the higher prices on the menu, but apparently he is in the minority because this place was hoppin’-with very few open tables and a line 8 people deep. If you are willing to pay a bit more for a quality burger, I highly recommend one at the Tornado Room. It’s $ 9 for a half pound burger and it is tremendous.

In the past I’ve shied away from reviewing chains, but i can’t really say why that’s been the case; so…
Five Guys is a fun option if you’re in a burger and fires sort of mood and even more so if you have the chance to stick around in the store for a while. Free peanuts while you’re in the shop are pretty sweet and can be just the thing to get you ready for a delicious burger.
I pretty much always go for the bacon cheeseburger option (which is actually served double decker). This is not for the faint of heart, but it is a very filing and tasty choice if you’re running on empty stomach-​wise. You’re encouraged to choose multiple toppings from a fairly diverse list at Five guys and I tend to go for grilled mushrooms, grilled onions, extra pickles, mustard, and hot sauce. This yields quite a large, delicious, and messy sandwich. The bacon at Five Guys is very crispy (perhaps even too much so) but this works well against very nice, soft sesame seed buns. All of this comes wrapped up in foil and actually travels quite well if you’re taking it to go.
The fries at Five Guys are great as well. These are made fresh in house and each location will display where the potatoes they’re using one any particular day were grown. Fires come regular (just salt) or Cajun and I ALWAYS go for the Cajun option. Spicy, salty, crunchy, starchy; these are a winner! When you order fries at Five Guys you will get a LOT of fries. Essentially you will get either a small or regular size beverage cup full of fries, plus a heaping scoop of ‘extra’ fries dumped right into the bag for good measure. If you love finding a ‘bonus’ fry in the bag during the drive home Five Guys will definitely be your thing!
The other good options on the menu are basically hotdogs and sodas, so don’t come hear looking for infinite choices (although the various topping combinations do increase diversity). The service tends to be quite customer friendly, although you may hear the workers being a little saucy to one another. The music is sometimes a little on the loud side, but is usually good (mostly classic rock). The prices are on the average to high side for fast casual restaurants but you do get a fair amount of food for the price.
This particular location of Five Guys is my favorite due to proximity to my home, but I’ve found the consistency from location to location (including those in airports!) to be very high. In some ways I’m sort of glad Five Guys doesn’t serve beer; I think if they did I might end up spending a LOT of time (and money) hanging out here…

Five Guys… a fast food restaurant worth the trip!
I have been to more than one in different parts of the U.S. and their consistency is very strong.
The burgers… delicious.
The fries… great fresh cut style.
Fancy soda machine is cool.
Service…great every time I have been.
It is pricey… but you need to cut back on your fast food intake. Plus every burger is fresh cooked… no pre-​cook and microwave like the big M or King B.
Save up and enjoy.

Burger and fries were good… but the second I walked in, my jaw dropped at the crazy-​high prices on the menu board of a seemingly «fast food» joint. Panicking, I furiously looked for a combo meal deal… but apparently those don’t exist here — everything is a la carte.
My total came to $ 11.37 with tax for a (double) cheeseburger and small fries; no drink included there other than a cup for water (which I hope I wasn’t charged for). I believe a fountain soda would have been an additional $ 2.49(!?)
The ambiance here is nothing I would pay extra for, and the food, while pretty good, wasn’t really much better than Culvers (which is half price compared to this place, and definitely better atmosphere).
I’m giving Five Guys a 2 star review just based on poor value. Sorry, (Five) Guys.
Overall, this place has gotta fix their pricing if I’m gonna be coming back with any frequency. Also, as another reviewer mentioned, I was almost instantly turned off by the way-​too-​loud music in the airlock. I’m sure some people have turned around and walked right out after hearing that noise.

Great bacon cheeseburger and awesome fries. Very generous portion on fries. Clean and friendly, will be back.

Service is always quick. Employees are veey friendly and get food out quick. Always fresh and nice and hot. Nobody in the area can match there quality of food.

Terrible service at noon on a weekday. They skipped my number and it took over 25min to get a single cheeseburger and fry. Manager just shook his shoulders. Will not return.

A friend in the Milwaukee area always talks about Five Guys, so we had to try it. Went their on Saturday about 7:00. In short, the guy at the register was not the nicest. I hadn’t been there before and was trying to figure out the menu. He said he would explain, but really didn’t. Just said the regular burgers have two patties and the little burgers have one. He was kind of impatient and then to make it worse got my order wrong. (Left off a topping I chose from their rather long list). By the time I noticed I figured «whatever». It’s sort of awkward standing around waiting for your order — their really isn’t a good area except in front of the soda machine.
Good news is the food was rather tasty. Not the best burger I ever had, but pretty darn good. Fries could have been more crispy — but they were fresh with the skin on and tasted good. A bit expensive for the bad attitude worker, but decent food.

I always like Five Guys from other cities, so thought I’d check out this relatively new location. All the staff was super friendly and the food was consistently good. The place was a bit dirty (floor and tabletops), which was a bit disappointing, considering they weren’t very busy. Hopefully this will improve. I don’t understand the location, across the street from the big Micky D’s.

The bacon cheeseburger was good, nothing spectacular. However, the gentleman that helped me was spectacular. The customer service is what made me stay and eat in the dining room. This particular staff memmber was constanly moving, cleaning, greeting, etc. I would hire him on my team but he left before I was able to talk with him.

As always everything was AWESOME! I have had their burger & their cheeseburger. I decided to try a bacon burger. I didn’t know it was a double patty! Holy cow! That was a lot of food! With the burger & small fries (you HAVE to have the fries) I was stuffed! While you wait, don’t forget to have some peanut!

First time here and it was really GOOD. I have always been told that the burgers here are amazing but never got the chance to check it out until now. The staff here is super helpful. We went in and were welcomed right away with smiles! I believe it was the manager who approached us and asked if we had any questions. He told us we only need to order one large order of fries because it would be more than enough for all of us to share. Holy crap was he right! I’m a sucker for fries and these were awesome! We went for the Cajun style fries and yes, we ate it all. Oh yeah. I ate my whole entire burger too. NO SHAME.

The food is good and huge portions except for the soda. They don’t tell you that it is a double burger and you don’t need to order more than one order of small fries. The store has only been less than a week and it was very busy tonight. There was quite a wait for burgers. Mighty expensive. Certainly not an every day spot, only for special occasion.
