Five Guys Burgers and Fries

As close as I’m going to get to In ‘n’ Out Burger on the East Coast. They have a similar model of doing just a few things well, instead of trying to be all things to all people. I like that. The burger meat is fantastic – really juicy and not too greasy. The buns are a bit wimpy, though, and by the time you finish a double patty with cheese, it’s flattened to the consistency of a chewy wrap. The fries are pretty decent, and I tried a milkshake, which was a delight. All of that set me back about what you’d pay for a sit-​down restaurant meal, though. Even before I got the milkshake, you’re hard pressed to get out of there for less than a 10 for a burger and fries, though. I suppose that also speaks to the quality, since it definitely is a step or two above your average fast food chain. All in all, it’s just fine, but not something I would seek out on any sort of a consistent basis, or treat with the reverence of the aforementioned In ‘n’ Out.

Food was average. I would have gave it 5 stars but the mouse that ran past me running into the front of store kinda ruined it.

This was my first time at 5 Guys. It took me a long time because I once read that it had the highest calories of all fast food. But despite that I tried it with my coworkers and it was delicious. I had a tiny cheeseburger with a few toppings and it was a great size. I can’t even imagine what the regular size looks like! I shared fries with a coworker and I’m glad I did because even a small was a lot of food. They didn’t taste like any fast food fries I’ve ever had before. They were really good. My last praise might be weird but I really liked the pop machines. It was one of those high tech ones where you can choose different flavors. I made a peach Sprite! I got a kick out of that. Ooh and there are peanuts that you can take while you wait for your food. Fun!
The space was clean and I liked the décor for a fast food place. The layout in the store was odd though. We had a couple of people try to get in through the exit and since we sat near that door we had to point them to the correct door. I wish both doors would have just opened. Maybe this is an issue at a busy lunch hour.
I’ll go back but certainly infrequently because my waistline couldn’t handle that too often.

So many places try to make a better burger. Different meat, weird fats, or even extra seasoning on the patty. Whatever Five Guys is doing, they’ve got it right.
I ordered a «Little» Bacon Cheeseburger, with the staples, lettuce, tomato, grilled onions, BBQ sauce and mustard. It was just right in size. The burger was perfectly cooked, and all the toppings were good, except the lettuce. It was like it got too hot, but it was all wilted and weird. Not a reason to get grossed out, it was still awesome. I was with Franny and Juilian, my love-​bird friends, and fortunately, got a hold of some of the fries they were sharing. They were amazing. Maybe just a touch too much salt, but good nonetheless.
Any place wins my heart if you have those futuristic coke machines that plop out any weird concoction of soda with random flavors like grape, peach and vanilla. Grape sprite for the win. Try it. Trust me.
Happy Eating!

Hey Five Guys, you’re new bebe fry boy is terrible at making fries. I only come here for the Cajun fries and this kid made the fries so salty and gross, I threw them away. Now I’m not the type to toss food, usually I make it work. This was bad, beyond edible and super frustrating. My regular fries were like a small at McDonalds. Not cool!

Okay I feel obligated to take off 2 stars because of two very recent incidents. On my last trip to Five Guys I ordered a little bacon cheese burger with jalapenos. My little bacon cheese burger had NOOOOOOOOO BACON! That alone is enough to get you 1 star. And I know I ordered a bacon cheese burger because I double checked the receipt. Had I not been so incredibly hungry I might have noticed this more than half way through consuming the burger. I didn’t complain to the establishment because I felt bad that I had already eaten so much of it and cuz I’m passive aggressive muhahahaha. And another time I ordered a burger and the cooks smashed my burger bun and all down so hard the burger completely lost it shape. It looked real bad you’ll.
I will say that I have dined here at least once a month since first finding out about Five Guys and that this restaurant has turned me into a burger craver where before I could careless about hamburgers but guys can we TRY AND REMEMBER THE BACON next time!?!
Plus the small fry is enough to feed at least 4 people!

Perhaps the stars were aligned, perhaps it was exactly what I wanted or it was just that good! I decided to come to Five Guys in Market Square after work because I had an insatiable craving for a burger, but not just any burger — I didn’t want a froo froo ultra fancy burger that came from a cow named «Franc»…I was in the mood for your all American standard burger but higher quality then your local fast food joint.
Man did I come to the right place! I ordered the little cheeseburger and little fries (cajun style) to go along with it and it was soooo good. The place is clean and organized and although there wasn’t a crowd since I was coming after work, they were very efficient so I can see how this place runs smoothly during the busy lunch hour.
I got lettuce, tomatoes, mushrooms, jalapenos and bbq sauce on my burger and all the veggies were fresh and the mushrooms were perfectly sauted. It should be noted that the jalapenos are fresh not the pickled kind for thos folks that might be particular. What can I say — everything was perfect and I couldn’t imagine getting a regular sized burger. I barely had room for the fresh and tasty fries!

What can I say about Five Guys that hasn’t already been said? Great burgers and fries, reasonably priced, and excellent service. This new location is a welcome addition in Market Square, tucked just behind Primanti bros. in the walkway to PPG Plaza. The service was excellent. Since this is a newly opened location they are extremely well staffed and attentive. The store is SUPER CLEAN.
Go closer to 11AM and beat the lunch rush. Bonus tip: you can order your burger without a bun (in a foil bowl) or in a lettuce wrap. Awesome! You can also order extra of everything at no charge (may not apply to cheese and bacon). I like to get extra jalapenos and hot sauce. I don’t limit myrself to just 1 helping of pain.

Wow! So impressed. This location is VERY busy at lunch, but so well organized. The manager was greeting people at the door letting them know approximate wait times, another employee was holding the door. You can even eat free peanuts in line! I got a «little» cheeseburger” and“little” fries. They were big and delicious. Lots of fun free toppings and wonderful service.

As good as others in chain but they cook burgers in advance to handle the lunch time rush. Congestion by the condiments and straws area. Great location in market square.
