Five Guys Burgers and Fries

What can I say about Five Guys that hasn’t already been said. They are a quality burger with a massive free toppings list. No doubt about that. Their fries are top notch. Just the right amount of crisp and crunch. To top it all off, they have one of those cool multisoda machines, see what I did there. ;) Not to mention they have pretty much all the self serve peanuts you could ever eat all for a semi reasonable price.
There goes my gripes about the place which is why it was not a perfect match. I do believe their prices are just a tickle overpriced for what they offer but not enough for me to not buy their delicious, mouth watering food. Their quality burger does taste good enough for me to not care about the slight over cost not to mention them having been awarded the best burger in Vegas for multiple years just goes to show that there doesn’t need to be a change to an already perfect burger.
Never before have I had a problem with their food before but this day for some reason after finishing their burger I did feel queasy for a good minute. Enough in fact that I actually went to the restroom just in case I did heave up that deliciousness. Luckily nothing came out and the nausea went away. I came back to finish my fries as though nothing had happened. Again this is not a normal occurrence and every other time the experience has been amazing and I have eating their food without a hitch. There was just something about that day that did not sit right with my stomach.
Regardless, if you are looking for a quality meal, and you are just a little tired from having eaten In-​N-​Out 6 days in a row and just want a quality burger that doesn’t taste like perfection for once, Five Guys is a good runner up that I highly recommend people go there to eat.

5 Guys is the shiz seriously! The sandwiches are yummers! The fries are great as well. You can get the fries regular (which is ok) and seasoned cajun spiced (spicier but good as well). Sometimes the cajun spices are over done on the fries but a quick sip of soda will get rid of that :) They offer free peanuts at all times which is super cool. All their foods are cooked in peanut oil which personally I never appreciated until I ate there. Its delish and the folks are pretty friendly. Prices are moderate.

greasy and overrated. the bun was REALLY soggy. i HATE when my hands get greasy from bottom bun fat. MEH.

Well… It’s a burger.
In N Out is faster and better tasting.
Also the soda machine is not my cup o tea lol.

I don’t understand why people actually go to this place and actually enjoy it. $ 15 for just two burgers?! That doesn’t include the fries and drink. Way overpriced and the burgers weren’t even good. They were bland in my opinion. Five guys is over hyped and the pictures look way better than it actually tastes don’t be fooled! Gave it 2 stars because the staff was nice and the fries were good. (The only thing good though)

I love 5 Guys fries. I find the hamburgers average and usually get a cheese sandwich, which can be dressed like their hamburgers with grilled mushrooms and onions — YUM! Like other 5 Guys, this location has the fancy soft drink dispensers so you can customize your drink as much as you’d like. Two concerns are relatively small parking in the front (more parking in the outlet lot behind) and hot in the afternoon with the sun streaming in through the windows.

When you are tired of the Vegas grind and just want a classic American burger, head to 5 Guys. The burgers a bursting with flavor, and the fries are seasoned well. Whatever size fry you think you want, order the next one down as this 5 Guys always loads on the extras.
The hot dogs are all beef, so if your kids want something different, they can still get the good stuff. Load up on the free roasted peanuts while you wait for your order to be cooked. You can’t go wrong here.

*** Unilocal 100 CHALLENGE 71/​100***
It has been about 3 years since I last set foot in a Five Guys, now I remember why! Last Saturday we were in the neighborhood and wanted to try somewhere besides our usual places and the kids wanted cheeseburgers, so Five Guys it is. I do not have any complaints in regards to the restaurant itself or the service for that matter. I do have an issue with the quality of the food or I should say the lack there of.
We got there a little after 11 am when they opened, there were about 3 tables occupied already. I stood staring at the menu for a couple of minutes trying to decide what I wanted. I did notice their prices were higher than In n Out but they offered more topping variations so I thought whatever. I opted for the Cheeseburger ($ 6.89) with grilled mushrooms and onions, A1 sauce on the side. The kids each got their little Cheeseburger ($ 5.09) Large fries ($ 5.09) and Large soda ($ 2.79) All that set us back $ 26.98, I thought it was quite steep for fast food burgers but hey if they’re great, why not. Boy was I wrong!!! That had to be one of the worst burgers I’ve had, I purposely asked for the A1 sauce on the side so I could taste the burger and not risk over powering it with the sauce. There was no distinction to that burger, no sweetness offered by the grilled onions or the earthiness of the mushroom. Heck I didn’t even detect any salt or pepper on the burger! I was not expecting a mind blowing experience for the price but I did expect it to be at least up to par with In n Out or even better, I mean if you’re going to charge me $ 6.89 for a cheeseburger by itself (compared to In n Out Double-​double @ $ 3.20) then I sure would hope it’ll taste somewhat decent. For that price I can get a Double-​double with fries and a drink at In n Out. The fries have nothing going on for them either. I thought it was cool for them to have peanuts to help yourself with while waiting for your order but even that was just okay, some of the peanuts tasted really stale and old. I just don’t see the appeal of this place, needless to say I wont be going back.

Holy crap!!! I’ve never had Five Guys Burgers before, but I had the glorious experience of eating take-​out from this location. Let me paint a picture…
I ordered Cajun Fries. $ 3.74. I was just getting a regular order for myself. When this «cup» arrived, it was spilling over with a «Fountain of Fries,» if you will. This fountain nearly filled this grease-​stained brown paper bag. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not knocking the bag. That’s all part of the presentation. But definitely WAY more than I thought I was getting. Pleasantly surprised.
Then, at the bottom of the fry bag, is my Cheeseburger. Wrapped in tinfoil and HOT. After nibbling on some delicious Cajun Fries, I unwrap this amazing burger and… wow. When they say grilled, they mean grilled ingredients. This is how I wish every burger tasted.
Overall, this has been an amazing meal. Very much like a backyard BBQ type feel to the food. And I can’t wait to order again or dine-​in. Definite must-​try if you haven’t already tried their burgers. I got grilled onions, peppers and jalapeños on mine and it was DELICIOUS!!!
Happy eating!

⁷⁄₃₀. Nice and friendly place. Peanuts while you wait. Ordered a bacon burger and little fries. Burger you can customize we added jalapenos to ours. Regular burger comes with 2 patties, Nice and juicy. The fries you get ½ a bag full and freshly made.

In n out is still way better. Five guys is too greasy. I hate eating a burger and having it drip down my arm. Also their fries are cooked in peanut oil which makes them cook darker and not as good. They also happen to have the same color scheme as In n out… Interesting since In n out came out 40 years before. Also they are not very «green» people that eat inside still get paper bags instead of trays. Are they implementing a recycling program? If so why don’t they advertise that instead of all their stupid adds. Which is super stupid. Oh and I love the yelling during my meal. Makes me happy! (noT!) Ugh I don’t think I’ll eat here again.

This place was a recommendation from a co-​worker. The establishment was nice and very clean.
I ordered the bacon cheese burger with everything. It was delicious just wish that the bun was toasted because with my order having everything the bun got too mushy, still the it was a great burger, plus I got to eat free peanuts while I waited for my food.

Five Guys is definitely on top when it comes to fast food burgers. The food is made to order but still ready pretty quickly.
You pick your burger size (single patty is a «little burger»), if you want cheese or bacon, and choose from tons of free toppings like grilled onions and mushrooms. The «little» burger is a bit of a misnomer because it is very filling (IMO).
It gets a little messy if you order your burger wrapped in lettuce, but now you can also get it in a little plastic tray if you want go bunless. You can also order fries (regular or Cajun), but if you dig into the free peanuts while you wait for your burger, you may question your decision to order fries. We never wind up eating them and one order is definitely large enough to share with a few people.
A couple visits ago I tried the BLT for a change of pace. I was a little skeptical about a BLT on a burger bun, but it was fantastic. Crunchy lettuce and bacon. Perfect.
This location has two Freestyle Coke machines; which I personally love, and ample indoor seating. Great choice for a quick, under $ 10 lunch.

Eh, I really didn’t see what the big hype was all about.
For some odd reason when I saw the name I thought there would be some hot guys working here. thus there were not
Cons;
1. The line was super long. I only like waiting in line if it’s a sit down place or less than ten mins. We waited about 15 minutes. No thank you.
2. The fries were ridiculously large and came out soggy. I would rather have ¼ of the amount of fries and have them crispy/​crunchy,
3. The tables weren’t clean. We had to go grab napkins and wipe off our table. That’s just a huge pet peeve of mine because I used to work in fast food in high school, and in college a manager at a fatburger. It really isn’t too hard to wipe down tables and keep up the cleanliness.
Pro;
1. Not badly priced. More expensive than In N Out and personally i like In N Out better.
2. The burgers were tasty, Not delicious, but good enough to come back.
Overall my experience was medicore. Maybe I caught them on a bad saturday so i will come back again.

I was first introduced to Five Guys a few years ago when I lived in Phoenix. Specifically at the Scottsdale mall. Imagine my surprise when I moved back to Vegas exactly one year later to learn there was one here. I thought Five Guys was specific to Arizona, specifically THAT location. And then I traveled to England and Five Guys is everywhere there?! Clearly this is a chain, and an international one at that.
All that said… the important bits are these: they make a good burger buts just okay. Its not special. Its not great. Its definitely overpriced. $ 5.99 for a LITTLE BACON CHEESEBURGER better WOW! me with flavor alone. It doesn’t.
The LITTLE sized burgers aren’t code for kids meal… its a normal sized, one patty deal. I like you can customize your toppings & sauces. For someone like me who hates mayo or «special sauce» that comes standard at other places, that I can order mustard & know I’ll get the mustard (or ketchup, or A-​1) I asked for, is different & nice.
The bacon is crispy, again a nice change from the raw fatty pieces you often get elsewhere.
Not keen on the multi-​flavored drinks machine. Having used one in the past, while a neat George Jetson contraption, it totally messes up your drink. One spigot dispensing 100s of flavored soda combinations daily leaves behind a funky taste in your REGULAR Coke fill. It’s gross. I bring my own drink or order take away instead.
What makes this place better than other burger joints are the fries. I like they aren’t frozen and instead are made from fresh spuds. I even like that an order of LITTLE FRIES feed more than 1 person. I’m not keen on the amount of grease the brown paper bag absorbs… these are greasy… but the fries are fresh & not salty & I for one love that. Others might not…
Unfortunately when I arrived last night, my first visit here, I found the inside to be a mess. Lots of empty tables that were dirty. The floor was dirty. I opted to take my meal home to eat.
I didn’t get peanuts, nor was I offered any. Not a big deal, but everyone raves about the peanuts… I can’t say anything more about it than this.
To me, Five Guys is average. It will never be my first choice but when I’m not in the mood to hit Gordon Ramsay’s BurGR or fight the In & Out crowds I might… MIGHT…come here if I’m craving a burger & am too lazy to cook one at home.

No matter which 5 Guys location I go to I know I’ll always get a great tasting burger and fresh fries. I like the Cajun fries because it gives it a little kick. Burger and fries. Done.

Pros. First … I need to mention the customer service. This group that is working tonight on 1÷3÷15 … Is the most friendliest team with all amazing attitudes. Started with the guy who took my order super friendly and informative about the menu. Even the lady who was cooking had a smile on her face while making our food. The lady who was cleaning the tables asked if we were ok and if we needed anything and offered to take my trash … it felt like I was at a nice sit down restaurant and I told my boyfriend wow they’re all so nice here and they were joking with each other. I’m a firm believer that if you got good teamwork and enjoy your peers it makes work so much easier !!!
Ok let’s get to the food. Their regular burger is two patties of meat and you can choose a hamburger, cheeseburger, or bacon cheeseburger. Then you custom your burger with your choice of toppings. The bacon is super crispy which I love. Also huge portions of fries. Boyfriend and I usually just share the regular fries … which is more than plenty. The guy also said their regular fries normally feed 2 – 3 people. Also there are unlimited amounts of free peanuts for you to enjoy.
Cons. I think it’s a little pricey … maybe if they had combos it would appear a little cheaper then ordering everything separate. I have to admit the only thing I like from here is the fries. my preference for a burger joint is In-​N-​Out (sorry Five Guys) … however my boyfriend craves this so we go here from time to time.
Overall I gave it 4 stars because 1. the service was awesome and I would go here again because of the service but 2. the food isn’t bad at all, it’s not my preference but I have tons of friends that love FIVE GUYS !!!

Tried this place out while on vacation after being recommended by a coworker.
I was quite fascinated by the simplicity of the restaurant when I first came in. A couple dozen bags of raw potatoes near the front door and the simple décor made the experience quite interesting.
The menu was short and sweet. I opted to share a regular Bacon Cheeseburger with BBQ sauce and a few other toppings with my girlfriend. We also ordered the Cajun fries (why not right?) and drink. Did I mention they have one of those fancy Coca-​Cola machines where you can get the different flavored versions of your favorite soft drink?! It was awesome! The whole meal came out to a little over $ 10, but was definitely enough for 2 people to share (or maybe 1 SUPER hungry person).
All the staff members seemed to be having fun on the job and not in a bad way. They were communicating loudly and effectively, while at the same time making it fun.
Overall I had an awesome experience with some very tasty food. Will definitely be back the next time I’m in Vegas

Not a good place if you have peanut allergies! :)
I didn’t know anything about Five Guys before I wandered in. It’s a homey feel, with their sacks of potatoes lining the «order here» area. You can grab peanuts while you wait.
The steak-​cut fries are cooked in peanut oil and are amazing. Toppings are free, no avocado though. The burgers were a little messy giving it a homemade feel, but so good. Coke products (yay!).
It’s definitely an experience to eat here, but I was glad I discovered it. I would love to go back anytime.
The service at this location did a fine job. There wasn’t many people in there when we went so it was hard to tell if they were actually quick or not but they were certainly friendly and our food was put together well.

You know i wasn’t really a fan of 5 guys before, i just came here with friends who wanted to try it because it was something they couldn’t get back home. But I’m glad i got to try it again because it changed my mind. These burgers are delicious! I got a regular burger (comes with 2 patties), swiss cheese, mushrooms, grilled onions, grilled Jalapeños, lettuce, tomato (can’t remember which sauces). You know what? it was really tasty and really juicy.
I also liked their fresh cut cajun fries, i like that they give you a lot too, they fill the cup with fries, then put it in a paper bag, then add another scoop on top of it. One order will feed 2 people for sure and if its not enough there are always free roasted peanuts.
Im not sure if I liked it this time because of this particular location or because i chose a combination of toppings on my burger that were better, but anyway I’m glad i stopped in, it changed my opinion about 5 guys, I’m now a fan!
I still wish they would have a few pre selected burger creations, say a bacon BBQ burger, a mushroom swiss burger and a cheese burger with toppings included that way there are suggestions for what combinations work. Its just too many combinations and choices. I’d rather just say, «I’ll have the Bacon cheese burger but with pepperjack cheese instead of the american cheese», instead of listing each item i want one by one.
