Five Guys Burgers and Fries

Good food but way overpriced. $ 10 for a burger and Fries is simply unacceptable. If you’ve ever been to in and out you’ll know what I mean

I will never return to this 5 guys as well as others in this area. They used to have the best burgers in town but over the last year or two they have begun pressing their burger meat so thin it’s more like an expensive Mc Donalds burger. Their fries are still the best but that’s not enough to bring me back. Please go back to the thick juicy burgers you used to make. I noticed that the staff has changed noticeably so I assume so has menagement or ownership. Not good to skimp on product quality. I’ll be frequenting your competition until/​unless you improve quality. And there is plenty of competition.

So tasty! As California ex-​pats, we’ve been missing In-​N-​Out Burger. Five Guys is definitely our local replacement. The burgers are fresh and delicious, and the fries are awesome, both regular and cajun (much better than In-​N-​Out!). I like how you get to choose all the toppings for your burger so you get it exactly how you want it. The free peanuts are a little random, but they kept the kids busy while we waited for our food. Yum!

Got dinner here after hearing about the amazing burgers from a friend. Had to try it at least once.
Easy to find in the Barracks area with cool black and white tiled floor– very American. Didn’t sit in– but there were a few tables both indoors and out.
Got the Hamburger of course, which was great because you could have a choice of toppings! Had the regular size, which was huge! So definitely be aware that the little size might be what you’re after if you aren’t starving or don’t have a big stomach.
Had to get the burger with Fries– 5 Guys style! A fan of the chain using pure, no cholesterol, tasty peanut oil!
A super filling dinner! A decent burger, if that’s what you’re after!

Nice to have free peanuts while waiting for order. Good quantities and options for vegetarians. Yummy fries!

Small is big when it comes to 5 guys. The «regular“burgers have 2 patties and the «little» burgers have 1 patty.
A «small» fry is still a whole potato! I think a large fry would be a bag full of fries with a side of hamburger.
Quality isn’t bad. Hamburger is good and fries are fried in peanut oil. So is recommend ordering small burger and small fry. Save your money. If you’re still hungry after that, order more.
This location has very limited indoor seating. The outdoor seating around the fountain is limited as well since it’s in the middle of a shopping center and is located right next to Panera Bread.

Whenever I think about 5 Guys the song «Woo Hah» by Busta Rhymes starts playing in my head. My gut and my heart be damned, I’m going in!
Large cheeseburger with sauteed mushrooms, A1, lettuce, tomato, sauteed onions, pickles and a side of fries please… Yah Yah Yah Yah
Woo-​Hah!!! Yo baby girl don’t be confused… I just consumed 2200 calories and I’m ready for a nap.

The staff never is the same, but they are always friendly and helpful. The important part is they always get my order right, and the burger and fries are consistently delicious.

$$$ HUGE serving of fries. If everyone in your party isn’t hungry for a burger, this isn’t the place to go. Peanuts are a nice, unusual, touch.

2 stars is for the fries.
Five Guys somehow keeps pulling me back for the fries, even though each time I vow never to return.
The burgers just plain suck, and there’s no two ways about it. I really don’t get the hype. Here’s why:
— overcooked and underseasoned patties
— gummy, untoasted buns
— if you ask for mayo, mustard or ketchup (or even all 3!) they hardly put any on
— the american cheese (lame) is usually a half-​melted, luke-​warm mess
— the toppings (ie. lettuce, tomatoes) are fresh-​out-​of-​the-​freezer, at an ice cold temperature, and have zero flavor.
Not to mention, the place is ludicrously expensive. Everything is a la carte, so a burger, fries and drink will set you back 10 bucks. This ain’t New York. Sorry.
You can get a better burger at Wendy’s. Mmmmmm… Wendy’s…

This place is a solid joint for burgers and fries. There’s like dozens of Five Guys and I am sure it’s the same pretty much the same everywhere because they keep their menu minimal. They do burgers and fries, that’s it. I love that it’s no frills, has a hometown feel, and unlimited toppings, of which are numerous in type.

Bottom Line: Five Guys is delicious, but absolutely horrible for you. One regular cheeseburger and regular fries is 1460 total calories and 85 grams of fat!
Check it out for yourself:
Unless you happen to be a triathelite you should probably never eat this.

First off… I have to say I am very flabbergasted that there are not one, not two but THREE Five Guys in Cville. Wow.
Anyway.
Hubs requested a visit here the weekend before he started his Biggest Loser competition at work because he wanted a double cheeseburger. I don’t eat a whole lot of meat, so I just drank a diet coke, grabbed me a handful of peanuts, and nibbled some fries — it’s all good =)

I highly enjoy Five Guys. Highly. The Husband and I stopped here for some quick nourishment on our way to a wine festival. We needed full bellies. This place met our requirements.
Love their burgers and fries. Love the fresh ingredients and the simplicity of the concept. Love the friendly service and free peanuts.
Love!

If you like burgers and fries– this is a super-​excellent place! If you are ordering for a family of five, do not order five orders of fries. You get so much that there is no way you can eat that much! Two people can split a small order of fries and still have plenty of fries to eat. Burgers were fantastic. Highly recommend!
Oh yeah, the FREE peanuts are a real bonus!

I like this place but I feel like it gets more credit than it deserves.
Is it better than McDonald’s or Burger King? Of course. I love their commitment to fresh ingredients, fresh potatoes etc. But, if you’re looking for a serious burger, you can find a number of better ones in any city where you find a Five Guys. In Charlottesville, Blue Moon or Miller’s are better.
The burger itself never really stands out. The selection of toppings is nice and I never feel like the quality of the ingredients are sub-​par. But, I feel like you end up tasting the toppings and not the burger. Particularly if you get it with bacon. The patty itself is good but not extraordinary.
Although I appreciate the fresh potatoes, I don’t actually love the fries. In fact, I’ve been known to pick up McDonald’s fries to pair with a Five Guys burger. The problem is that the fries are really dense — when paired with the bun and the burger you can easily feel like you are overloaded quickly. The crispy McDonald’s style fry is a better compliment and less likely to overwhelm the burger I think.
Good place but check out local burger spots in whatever area you are in if you want a serious burger.

pros: This place really deserves a shout out. I have never been treated so well as I have here — at the Barracks Five Guys. They are all smiles and politeness every time I’ve gone. They even can make gluten-​free (sans buns) burgers for you if you ask. Why? Because they love you.
cons: As good as these burgers are, they’re not the best. The best burger in the world is still out there; it eludes me.
overall: If you need to be pampered, this place’ll do it. Please note: you may become sleepy as a result of pampering and eating.

The Five Guys franchise does not disappoint. I’ve been to the ones in northern VA many many times, and the Five Guys here in Charlottesville lives up to the name. The burgers are as good as you can order from a restaurant, service was quick, and of course the free peanuts while you’re waiting!
The one black mark on the menu that I’ve tried is the bacon cheese dog. The cheese was low quality American, and the hot dog was so-​so. Stick to the burgers and fries and you can’t go wrong.

I really do not know how anyone can award a place that provides peanuts to your heart’s content anything less than 5 stars. ESPECIALLY ELEPHANTS!!!
All right, terrible jokes aside, they only serve hot dogs, hamburgers, and fries. But wow! are they delicious and greasy. The small menu works because of their fully customizable burger with the fresh add-​ins. The fries are delicious and the price point is a seller. Rating this place based off a fast-​food joint standard, Five Guys is top notch. Now, all they need is a drive-​thru window and a soft serve machine to compete with McDonalds and they’re all set. Who else can claim that their meat is NEVER preserved in a freezer? That’s what I call fresh!
Plus, free peanuts!

Much of this place looks and feels like my beloved In-​n-​Out Burger in California. The red and white tiling, the extremely simple menu, and made to order fast food nature of are all very much the same.
The only differences are the ample peanuts to snack on while you wait and that they use slightly more meat for your burger here. On the negative side, I prefer In-n-Out’s fries much, much more.
