Five Guys Burgers and Fries

Good burgers lots of toppings. Fresh fries and I like the Cajun seasoning. Neat pop machines too.

I love five guys. there normal burger is really two thin pattys. and is cooked to perfection. and when you eat one the juices just run down your hands. this is the way a burger is suppose to be, messy. LOL
the fries you give plenty of. and the canjun seasoning is great. I like putting a little vinegar with it. what a favor combo…

A lot of food for a good price. Fresh made while you wait. The staff was friendly and the place was clean. They were fast and efficient. I also like the complimentary peanuts while you wait.

Five Guys is definitely a unique fast food experience.
When you walk in, the restaurant is very open. I personally really like that. However,
some people (my other half) don’t like the openness. It lacks privacy. It’s more of a cafeteria style dining room setup. It’s reminiscent of a mall food court.
I think that Five Guys has a really efficient system to making their food, which leads to few screw ups. Big plus. You can see the entire process of your food being made from start to finish. This reflects the transparency of Five Guys. They are open and transparent about everything. That’s their gimmick — that there is no gimmick. You order at the register and pick up on the other side after it’s done. Food can take a little longer to come up than most places, but that’s because they’re making everything fresh.
Their burgers are made fresh of a good quality beef. This isn’t your ordinary fast food burger. The toppings are always fresh. There’s a sign that tells you the farm where today’s potatoes for the french fries come from. The french fries are (obviously) fresh cut (they literally keep their dated sacks of potatoes in the dining room). They’re also fried in peanut oil, which gives them their unique flavor. Most places avoid peanut oil because of the common and deadly peanut allergy (obviously if you have any serious nut allergies, this place is not for you). But the peanut oil gives the fries a little something different that you can’t get most places. They also offer Cajun seasoning for the fries. They’re alright, but lack luster. They’re more of just a hot spice than a flavorful spice, which disappointed me.
The food is definitely greasy, which puts some people off, but what would you really expect from a place like this? It’s served in a brown paper bag, and your fries will be everywhere. Be warned. For some people that’s a major annoyance/​turn off, but it doesn’t bother me any.
The staff is always very friendly and polite. They all always have smiles on their faces.
The price is a little steep for what it is. That’s what knocks it down to four stars instead of five for me. It’s also nothing super unique or special. That’s another reason to knock the fifth star off. But the food is fresh, and the employees are friendly. For most places that’s half the battle.
Helpful hint: a «little» burger is a single party. If you order a hamburger cheeseburger, it’s going to have two patties.

This is place is great. I ate here for the first time and the food was some of the best burgers I’ve had in a while. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The prices are about average. You can order single or double burgers and the will give you more French Frits thank you can eat. The burgers are cool fresh with real ground beef. The fries are cut from local farms. They also have free topping for your burgers. There is a also have a children’s menu for the little ones

Five guys makes a great burger. Same style you could make at home if you had the time and stuff and didn’t mind a mess.
I give it three stars for two reasons, the price tag is simply too high for size and quality of the burgers. The fries are huge and I love the seasoning option, but they are always woefully undercooked floppy and greasy.
The free in she’ll peanuts are just strange to me, and the shells end up all over everything giving the impression its dirtier than it really is.
If you’re looking for a tasty burger and don’t have time for a restaurant, give it a shot. Just not what I think it should be, especially given the hype it receives.

I love this business and the service they provide. Five guys is where you go if you want a delicious burger… Plain and simple.
They use Idaho potatoes for their fries and also carry Cajun style fries which hit the spot. It’s higher end quality fast food, their burgers all have free toppings and a sesame seed bun.
Taste wise it’s the ideal cookout burger. Customized with what you want and juicy as it is packed with flavor.
Very clean as it is at all their venues. Staff is kind and cool. Peanuts are always available while you wait.
They are not trying to be fancy they know what they do and they do it right. for Quality burgers and fries go to Five guys.

Moldy peanuts.

This place has amazing burgers, the refill cup is a bargain and even though it is a little pricy it’s worth. A great part is you watch your food cooked right in front of your very own eyes. I’m personally not a fan of the fries however, they are fresh but have a weird taste

Wow… What a great experience. These guys make you feel welcomed and at home from the time you walk in and the food is delicious.

Great for a greasy burger and French fries. One of those foods that are so good going down but you pay for after. Grilled mushrooms and onions are top notch and I love the fact that they use raw jalapeños rather than pickled. The best part about this place is that they have the friendliest and most pleasant staff of any place I’ve ever been to.

Fresh burgers and fries, love it!

They make a good JUICY hamburger, thats expensive.

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE!!! First the burgers are awesome and I think more importantly the staff here are so nice and friendly… I eat here anytime I am in Robinson

The burger was tasty but the patties were a little under-​seasoned which i guess is ok since you’re likely to reach your unhealthy food quota for the day anyway.
I think the place is ok so I’ll just write some tips:
1. Their regular burger = 2 patties, the little burger is what all of us mortals would call a regular
2. The fries are not all that you’d think. Again, a small is plenty and it comes superfluously in a paper cup inside a paper bag.
3. You can help yourself to peanuts which seems like a nice addition.

So my friend was trying to convince me that Five Guys was a pretty good option to ‘fast food’, but in the end, industrialized conveyor belt food is just that. You can kitsch it, theme it, and hype it any way you like, but fast food is fast food.
After an outing at a flea market, we decided to give Five Guys a try. Well, I was trying it, he had been there before. On first glance, it kind of looked like a big warehouse of red and white tile, with piles of potato and peanut bags in a long line between the door and the ordering counter, and a big ‘look how cool our themed 50’s malt shop array of tables and chairs are’ seating area. Tons of big red signs bragging about their wares, with quotes from newspapers and magazines around the country, lining the windows and walls.
We approached the ordering counter, and ordered. One large bacon cheeseburger, with lettuce, tomato and mushrooms, with mayo. They didn’t have a dark mustard, only the day-​glo ballpark wiener mustard, so I opted out of that. The very friendly and pleasant clerk didn’t ask how I might want it cooked. Seems they just do that their way.
My friend ordered a basic burger, and an order of fries to share. And we each got a soda (Coke people, thank goodness… after hiking a big flea market, a Diet Coke was high priority).
$ 23. And we were number 30.
The number was called out, and our food came. Two burgers in foil, marked «#1» and «#2», tucked into a greasy paper bag that also contained a paper cup filled with fries, and the bottom of the bag lined with spillover from the rest of the fries. I have to agree with another reviewer who commented on the wasteful use of the cup, as well as the ‘take out’ nature of the ‘dining in’ experience. Just put them in the bag, or on a plastic reusable tray. Save a tree… or an entire forest.
Unwrap, and bite in. It was a burger. A one slight step above an average fast food burger. The difference was that it wasn’t a frozen hockey puck burger, like the rest of the McFoods, but it was a ‘hand formed’ patty, as all of their promotional materials raved about. Was if actually from a bag of fresh ground beef? Considering the grey pallor of the finished burger, I had my doubts. The cheese was your basic square of American processed cheese, the bacon was… well…bacon, the mushrooms seemed liked sizzled canned, the lettuce and tomato were fine, and the bun your general average sesame seeded hamburger bun. The taste was better than the usual McWhopper, but not by much.
The fries were very greasy, but were at least real potatoes, versus the playdoh bioengineered variety at the other McFood joints. They didn’t taste bad, and I opted for some of the cajun seasoning to sprinkle on my half, which made them a little zingier. But they really were just average fries.
Honestly, with the royalty of Winghart’s available, and the next step down of Burgatory, why waste money on something that is ‘just ok’? Step it up, drive another block, and go for the gold. Brass is just brass.
Theme-​ing doesn’t satisfy the tastebuds.

My husband and I love dining here after a long afternoon shopping at IKEA and The Mall at Robinson. He loves their burgers with a mixture of assorted toppings, and I love the grilled cheese dipped in a little malted vinegar. Fries, even just the regular size, are a must-​share size. However, make sure to get your own soda. I cannot resist the amazing new Coca Cola soda machines! Diet Coke with Cherry and Vanilla?! It’s a dream come true!
If you frequent the Five Guys chain, this location is the same no-​frills concept and will not surprise. However, if you’re new, don’t be surprised by the divey chain atmosphere… and don’t forget to grab free peanuts near the entrance!

I’m a tough critic when it comes to burgers. I prefer burgers rare to medium-​rare, nicely seasoned, dripping juices, and hugged by a bun that’s not too bread-​y. The focus should be on the meat, though toppings are an important part of my overall burger experience as well.
I eat fast food very, very rarely. Though, as mentioned above, I don’t prefer beef cooked a whole lot, I can dig a tasty well-​done patty. For me, Five Guys falls into this category. This Five Guys location in Robinson is the only one I’ve ever visited anywhere, and it made me and my mom happy after a long day at the hair salon, shopping, and driving.
A summary of my experience:
* The staff was delightful.
* The music playing – mostly ‘80s stuff – was fun.
* The dining area and restrooms were clean.
* The complimentary toppings I chose for my burger – grilled onions, grilled mushrooms, tomato, and mayo – were executed nicely and present in good quantity.
* The generic bun, which I don’t usually like, worked fine here.
* The skin-​on fries are greasy, and the way they’re thrown into a brown paper bag with a cup isn’t cute to me. I can resist these fries.
I’d stop here for a burger while shopping in Robinson, for sure.

There is nothing separating Five Guys from any other burger joint I know.
The greasy burger is really just a burger, nothing separating it from Burger King, McDonalds or any other restaurant that serves a burger.
The same can be said for the fries and the décor. Limp and unimaginitive.
There is no lasting appeal, nothing says to me I should come back and try something else on the menu as there is really nothing else on the menu.
It breaks my mind to see how this place has become a franchise, but here they are.
I might return in the future if the near by Burgatory or Quaker Steak or Burger King or McDonalds is too buy and I’m incapable of making my own hamburger.

Methinks The Cosmic Trickster is trying to get me to reconsider my dining habits and my obsession with burgers.
It was my turn to pick, and I had no idea where to go eat this afternoon, so since I had been wanting to try FGBF, we came here after a convoluted search.
You get in line, order at one counter, wait for your number, and go to another counter to get your food in a grease-​stained bag with a bunch of suburbanites for whom this is a Sunday treat.
Kay was immediately disgusted before we even sat down, and I joined her in disgust after eating my burger.
My bacon cheeseburger was had «all the way,» meaning it came with ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, onions, tomato, lettuce, pickle, and grilled mushrooms.
Y’all know how I love a sloppy, obnoxious, sacrilegious, knock-​down, drag-​out Lights Out match with my meals. I mean, I have partaken in Primanti Brothers, Vincent’s Pizza Park, etc. This however just made me close to feeling sick.
Not that it wasn’t a decent burger. It was adequately juicy, fat, and easily beats down The Clown’s burgers while wearing a straitjacket, but I’ve honestly had even better burgers at Eat ‘N Park or King’s, and none of them are as sodden and smashed as these. I don’t even understand why they bag everything if you’re dining in. It’s wasteful and makes no sense.
Ahhh, I see why they give you a bag. The fries spill out of the cup and all over the bottom! Hell, why even put them into a cup at all?
I think the fries was where I hit rock bottom. Laden with oil, half of them had the crispness I look for, others came off as merely blanched, all of them suffered from peanut fat that was in desperate need of being changed. That dark brown color doesn’t lie.
I also had a Kosher hot dog and found that it was, well… halfway Kosher. This was certainly a premium frank and not Oscar Meyer, but after wading through the deleterious burger and fries, I just couldn’t enjoy it.
There are no desserts (thank God?), but they do have two of those gimmicky, new self-​serve soda fountains with 100 flavors.
Five Guys will make you die. It it the equivalent of an edgy artist finally pissing you off for good. It is ugly. It crosses that line. It is too much of a thing that is good to you but not for you. Nonetheless, this is slightly above average fast food, so 3 stars it gets.
P. S. Yes, I know this isn’t health food, and Lord knows I’m not a plant fanatic, but none of my favorite burger joints ever made me feel like Five Guys did, and I arrived with an empty stomach. To the Bestiary this ain’t goin’.
P. P. S. Our bill for two burgers, two hot dogs (Kay couldn’t bring herself to finish hers), a large order of fries for us to share, and two beverages cost us almost $ 31!!! One could get twice as much food at half the price at any Brighton Hot Dog Shoppe, and guess what? It’s better! Hell, not even The Redhead has filled me with such self-​loathing.
