Five Guys Burgers and Fries

Ate here about 6 months ago.
Food was wrong, place was a mess. They were kind of busy, not not enough for the place to look at it did. It was maybe ¹⁄₃ full.
Food was good when we got it correct.
It was loud and cold and not kept.
Not normal for a 5 guys location.

Good tasting burgers, free peanuts, and huge amounts. I had the bacon cheeseburger w lettuce, grilled onions, cheese, and jalapenos. Greasy, juicy tasty burger that’ll leave you satisfied and full.

Good burger. A bushel basket of fries.
No frills. Decent burger and free peanuts while you wait

The food was great, burgers and fries. Fries hot and plentiful. But, the best part, and the reason for the review, was the fast and super friendly, helpful staff. Thanks!

I was very upset to see the Clifton Five Guys close. I’m happy this one is still here! Five guys burgers are very good. It’s not a place that you want to eat at everyday because it’s not healthy for you but it is a great place to have once a week!
The Cajun fries are great I love those! It’s just different that any other fries I have had out there.
The Burgers are pretty good but it is a building your own. They do a really good job of making each ingredient very fresh. I would say that this is my one of my favorite burgers to eat.
Overall if you have never tried this place GO TRY IT! Make sure you eat there to get the full experience.

Yummy! If you’re up for a greasy burger, this is a great place. Do the double patty to get the full effect. Go for the Cajun spice on your fries — and man do they give you a bunch of fries.

You cannot go wrong here. Great burgers

Typical Five Guys — clean, efficient and tasty. Made to order burgers, hot fries and peanuts while you wait to get your order.
If you want a great burger made with the condiments you want, this is a great choice.

I’ve been a Five Guys fan for years now, but every time I go I find another reason to love this chain!
Every Five Guys I’ve visited has had the same great atmosphere with the red and white color scheme and newspaper clippings all over. And the food, oh the food, burgers that just melt in your mouth, and fries that are so much more tasty than any pressure packed design at a fast food joint!
Even if you’re a Five Guys pro, there are so many topping combinations to try that you can always come up with new styles to try and enjoy!

I first fell in love with Five Guys when I visited my cousin in Atlanta. She talked on and on about this burger place that I just had to try before I left and I’ve been hooked ever since. Then to my delight, Five Guys came to West Chester, OH! I was there getting my massive burger fix the same week it opened.
I love that I can get just about any topping I can think of for my burger. I usually get cheese (of course) jalapenos, bacon, grilled onions, grilled mushrooms, lettuce, tomato, pickles, BBQ sauce and mustard. A delicious hot mess for sure! Don’t forget the fries! Yum!
Prices are well within reason, so no worries there. Great… now I’m craving Five Guys. Looks like I’ll be making a burger run for lunch!

Whenever I have a taste for a gyro. I go here. They have a burger with gyro meat that is the food of the gods.

The burgers were very good. The option to select from such a big list of free toppings was awesome and the Cajun fries were yum as well. Reasonably priced and good ambiance. All in all, a very good experience.

Two cautions before I begin:
1– Everything is fried in peanut oil so anyone allergic can’t eat here
2– Unless there are 6 people in your group, order a small fries.
Now that is out of the way I can continue! Five Guys has somewhat pricey ($ 5 – 7 depending on size and kind) burgers with a pick-​your-​own-​adventure topping scheme. After you choose your type (hamburger, cheeseburger, bacon burger, or bacon cheeseburger in regular or small sizes) you then dictate whatever toppings and sauces you’d like. All the toppings are ‘free’ so you can literally get whatever they have. While you wait for them to call your number you can go have a bunch of free peanuts and claim a table.
The fries are large and thick-​cut and, as I mentioned, they practically fill the bag with fries so unless you have a large group get a small. Also, I think the Cajun fries are slightly better than the standard ones.
This Five Guys gets line-​out-​the-​door busy during lunch and dinner, so be mindful of that. Thanks to the free peanuts it’s not unusual during peak times for the floor to have a layer of peanut shells and to be so thick the actual tile is not visible.
Our most recent visit was on Halloween for my father in-law’s birthday, so the restaurant was unusually quiet and clean. I got the cheeseburger with «everything» plus raw onion, jalapeño and bell peppers. «Everything» being mayo, lettuce, pickles, tomatoes, grilled onion, grilled mushrooms, ketchup and mustard. It was good — not great but good and I would definitely prefer it over most fast-​food burgers.
TL;DR: Five Guys is a dedicated burger joint that’s much better than your standard take-​out like McDonalds or Burger King, however it’s still a fast-​food burger and there are still much better options out there. I hear they also serve stuff like hot dogs but I think that’s just folklore.

I didn’t have great expectations when I was told we would stop at Five Guys on the way home from Columbus. I thought, «Oh Well, just another burger joint.» I was mistaken. It’s been around for over seven years, and this is my first experience! The interior has newspaper and magazine headlines touting the Five Guys openings, awards, and critic comments dating back to 2005. Where have I been?
Five Guys specialize in burger, branded fries (with the name of the American farm that grew today’s potatoes — from Warden Washington) and soft drinks. Pretty basic. Very tasty! It has been years since I had a greasy burger. French fries taste like they are supposed to. I might stop again in the next year just to revisit the ambience and delicious hamburger with bacon, pickle, tomato, and grilled onion prepared the way I like it.

Love the burgers, and they have some of my favorite fries. This is way better than Smash Burger or any of the other Burger chains.

When I go to Five Guys — I feel like an artist. I get the sandwich my way with an infinite mixture of ingredients. The menu board is my paint palette with the sandwich being my work of art (even though I did not build it)
I walked in and followed the typical path to order my burger — like all Five Guys restaurants.
I ordered my Bacon Cheeseburger with Lettuce, Tomatoes, Grilled Onions, Mushrooms, and Mayo. I also ordered a small fry (fried in peanut oil).
The food was awesome unless you have a gluten, dairy, or peanut allergy. If I had such an allergy — I would probably still eat the burger and fries and have my friends repeatedly stab my with an epi pen (just like in the movie horrible bosses). because it is just that good.
A couple fo things for those looking for portion control:
A Bacon Cheeseburger — is 2 patties
A small Fries is a ton of fries
Cost:
Burgers are $ 5 – 6 — please note that is a double cheeseburger — about 20% higher than McDonalds and Burger King — so much worth it.
Fries are about $ 3 — the small is much more than any large fries at compartive start — get your potato love on
Because of my meal — I think I gained the most points in weight watchers. Here is to me keeping my rain ;-)
Enjoy!

SO GOOD
The burgers are so good
Im spoiled by them
gotta have every week or two
if i could have it every other day i would

Ok, I just don’t get it.
Seriously, the place defies logic.
A $ 6 bacon cheeseburger that’s… well. it’s just okay.
Not great.
Not terrible.
Just okay.
The burger ended up annoying me because the onions are chopped. WTF?
The fries are decent, although the ginormous vat-​o-​potato that you get even when ordering a regular is a bit over the top. I opted for the cajun seasoned, which is good, but eventually gets to you.
The free peanuts… well, schticky, and just… okay. Not bad, not great.
If it weren’t for the Pink Floyd blaring when I walked in, I would have scored it 2 stars, but any food establishment jamming to some old school Floyd at least earns a few props.
But walking out of the place after $ 12 and change for a burger, regular fry, and a beverage was qualification for a one-​time experience for me. I just don’t see the value equasion here.
And I don’t get the overwhelming, glowing, raving reviews either. It was just a burger… a pretty average one at that.
Differen’t strokes I suppose…

I can’t lie… Five Guys have THE BEST BURGERS I’VE EVER HAD. There… I said it. I’m sort of going on a reviewing frenzy today, so I figured I’d need to make it known that I love Five Guys.
I don’t know why they taste so good. They’re nothing special. I get the bacon cheeseburger (Which, of course is a double cheeseburger= The Scott Special) with mayonaise and bacon… that’s all there is to it. And, while I’m ridiculously thick with meat when I finish one… I could eat more. I could always have another.
I’m not a huge fan of their fries though. So, with the pure meat intake I have here, is probably a good thing I don’t really enjoy the fries.
But, I love the atmosphere, I love the workers who seem to enjoy doing what they do, and I love love love love love those burgers. Eat at Five Guys… any Five Guys will do! EAT MORE MEAT!

Just opened!!! One of the best places to get burgers! Try the cajun fries.
Not for the vegetarians!
