Five Guys Burgers and Fries

The best burgers in Tuscaloosa. If they had an In-​N-​Out burger here they’d have competition, but Five Guys is the best here and most places in the country.

Delicious, I got a bacon cheeseburger with grilled mushrooms and onions and it was delicious. I highly recommend it.

The service is fantastic. The restaurant is very open and it doesn’t feel like you have any privacy. If you bring your children here, there is a coloring area they can be distracted with while you order.
The cheeseburger in a bowl is decent. It’s just not a pretty sight to look at. It’s packaged in a container that looks like airplane food. They are generous with their condiments. I asked for extra mushrooms and I probably should have asked for more of the other condiments. Even ordering all-​the-​way with extra condiments, you could still see the bottom of the container.
Make sure to order a soda because the soda machine is tons of fun.

slightly expensive but my gosh at the amount of fries in a bag you get. Bottom line is it’s a burger joint where they griddle fry the meat in it’s own juices, season it well and you add what ever your heart’s desire is to it.

Five Guys Burgers and Fries is an absurdly simple business model that delivers on the whole quite well. One has to wonder just how much it costs to print all those signs you see on the inside (less than $ 10 a piece one would assume).
The burgers, for the price, are bar none. Alexis is right when she says the quality is there. My biggest challenge is assuming what kind of toppings to add and usually I overload it. My brother goes here as a hangover remedy, and they do not disappoint. The fries are stellar. I always say eating greasy, unhealthy food like this often may take a few years off your life — but for Five Guys Burgers and Fries, it may be worth it.

Ok, Five Guys really only does 2 things… burgers and fries. And they do both really well. The service is always prompt and friendly, it doesn’t take very long to get your order completed, and the food is always consistent and great.
Here’s a couple observations I have:
1. I just LOVE the Five Guys iPhone app… even if I’m headed to Five Guys to eat there, I’ll place my order through my phone before I get there, and i’m on my way. They don’t drop your fries in the fryer until you get there, to insure they’re hot and fresh. But you get to bypass the usual line at the register (since I paid through my phone), get my drink, and a minute or so later, I get my food. VERY convenient… I like that.
2. I usually order the smaller burger, as it’s more than enough for the average person.
3. I always order the Cajun fries, but just the regular order, and it’s big enough for two people by itself.
4. I understand the atmosphere they’re going for here, but couldn’t they turn down the music just a wee bit? If you get a phone call while sitting down, you can forget about the person on the other end hearing you. Yes, I know, it’s not courteous to take phone calls in a restaurant. I get that… but the music is a little loud sometimes.
Overall, Five Guys is a nice, quick place to get a great burger and fries. And this particular location is in a fantastic, convenient spot, in Midtown.

Horribly overpriced and mediocre at best. I can make natural cut home fries crispier and better than those soggy strings in my own kitchen. Great burger (hence the second star) but why go to a burger place where you have to buy everything separate? I’ve eaten burgers in over 19 states, they all came with a drink and fries unless the burger was $ 2 as well as the fries. If I’m paying $ 10-​$ 15 for a burger and fries, the whole meal better knock my socks off and I want table service not just some free peanuts. Save yourself some money and eat at Sonic.

Mmmmmm! Burgers! Fast burgers! Tasty burgers! And GREAT fries!

The most excellent assortment of condiments I’ve ever seen. I can see why Mrs. Obama loves this place. I’ve been there 3 times and not dissappointed yet. It is very organized from the taking of the order to receiving your order. I agree with the other reviewers about the quantity of fries… 3 people can share 1 order. This restaurant was on the border of all the tornado damage last year (April 27, 2011) and I am SOOOOO glad that this place is still there. The Full Moon BBQ/Chuck-E-Cheese/Milo’s just up the street weren’t so lucky… leveled.

Five guys… I first knew you here. These are some bomb burgers and fries. The portions are ridiculously huge. I’ve had a couple of better burgers since then, but this was the absolute best for a while. I still the frequent the place. If you haven’t tried it yet, go.

Stellar burgers, and an open atmosphere. What I mean by open is they just give it to you straight up, no confusion. Everything available is openly displayed, and is simple.
How they make such delicious burgers on a normal flat-​iron grill I may never know, but what I do know is Five Guys rocks. I love that they have an entirely separate menu for all the things you can put on the burgers or dogs.
I always go with the bacon cheeseburger (double), but my toppings vary because I like to try them all. A good few: BBQ sauce, which adds a sweet/​tangy element; grilled onions, which add a savory/​sauteed taste; jalepenos, which are fresh cut raw peppers, not those one soaked and diluted in vinegar. These things will light you up! That’s what makes the burgers spectacular – a few of those raw peppers to give it a garden kick in the mouth.
The dogs are good too, but not as good or as big and filling as the burgers are. I’ve had the bacon dog and Kosher dog. Both are good, not much difference between the two. What makes them good is what you put on it. That’s the cool thing. You basically get to choose your favorite combinations to real American food. It’s like subway, but way better because it’s not skimpy sandwiches with lame, un-​fresh deli meats. It’s real meat, and real good, for real people with real appetites.
Five Guys. Check it out. Best burgers since Mugshots.

Awesome burgers and good fries (cooked in peanut oil), and really cheap too. I’ve paid a lot more for a much worse burger.
Highly recommended.

Awesome burgers and outstanding customer service. I spent less than $ 7 and left completely satisfied.

Good burgers, but the fries were pretty flavorless, though they do give you a lot of them to make up for it.
