Five Guys Burgers and Fries

Burgers — very good (note that I did not say great)
Location — Could not find a clean table and crumbs all over the floor. Also no one inside which is surprising for the day and time.

Ordered 15 meals for a class I was teaching. They complained about having to fill this $ 170.00 order, didn’t mark any of the burgers, skimpy on the usually abundant salty fries. OK at best, I don’t think the product lives up to all the press mounted on their walls. Far better less expensive burger at Portillos!

Yes, this place is considered «fast food» however… it’s a better quality place than any drive thru burger restaurant.
Also, the portions here… you will NOT leave hungry.
My suggestion is to opt for the «little» fries and the «little» burger… though big appetites should go for the regular size. I also suggest splitting any order of fries with someone, because the portions are HUGE!
I’ve been to the Naperville location a few times, especially after they first opened. This place was on my way home from wor… I didn’t quite want McDonalds, I wanted something better, and just something to take home with me for dinner, not to dine in.
For dining in — they have baskets of peanuts at the tables.
When ordering they ask what you WANT on your burger and have everything listed out for you. The service wasn’t super speedy, but not crazy slow either — obviously they make the food right there for you, so the wait is acceptable.
Again…food is huge here, I couldn’t even finish my meal, though… I was happy post-​cheat meal from this place!

I’m a true burger lover and «Five Guys Burgers and Fries» is one of my favorites. I like that they offer free peanuts while we wait for our food. The staff does a great job keeping things clean and really seems to have a team environment. I like that the music is playing and the cooks are singing along… Good burger good and a great staff!

Burgers tasty but pretty greasy. Fries, okay. Music was pretty obnoxious. $ 14 for a burger, fries and a small coke are too high. Probably won’t be back.

The burger was actually cooked well done when i wanted it to be!
Fries good.
Prices on the high side so not a regular place but I would return.

Love this place, fries are delicious, burgers just as good! All sorts of toppings to put on. Easy in and easy out great location!

I originally had five guys in Washington DC and I’m not sure what the big deal is about this place. It’s an average burger place, yeah it’s better the the big fast food places but when it comes to a quick burger portillos and steak and shake is way better

Never a disappointment! The burgers are loaded with EVERYTHING! And this branch loads on the crispy bacon, too! Yum! No other chain can compare when it comes to the fries.

It always amazes me how chain restaurants differ from location to location. Loved my first visit to Five Guys in Schaumburg so much that I was there on the first day they opened near work in Joliet. So of course, I was expecting the same positive experience here, closer to home. Ooops! You know you’re in trouble when the free peanuts are the best thing on the menu… The burger was so greasy I could barely eat it and ditto for the fries. In fact, I threw some of it away and was still a little queasy for the rest of the evening. I’ll give the Downers Grove location one more shot, but after having found the ultimate Smashburger in Elmhurst and the healthiest RevBurger in Carol Stream, I’m thinking I really don’t need Five Guys for a burger fix anymore.

Boring. Nothing new about the concept or the burger. Five guys, meatheads, that burger joint. All the same. $ 10 bland burgers. Even Wendys is better, agree with previous poster.
Here’s the plan, go to the store and buy two pounds of 93% ground beef, one package of kaiser rolls, lettuce, tomatoes and pickles. About $ 16 bucks. I now have some hearty beef burgers WITH some to share.

What more can be said? All the free toppings you want on a fresh burger at a price that won’t break the bank. And did I mention the fries? Fresh cut and fries to perfection!

Veggie burgers are the best.
veggie burgers have
lettuce tomatoes mayo
grilled onions and grilled mushrooms.
the fries are generous, but UNHEALTHY.
MODERATION.

Ok, hit the one in Crystal Lake a couple of days ago and the burger was very good, exceptional in fact. Tempted to bump up a star for the food quality.
Once again, too expensive. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Shame on me.
I ordered the exact same thing as last time and paid the same amount. I was thinking maybe I ordered a double and didn’t remember. So I asked for the bacon cheese burger large fries and diet coke. Still 15 bucks and change. What?
Looked at the receipt. FIVE bucks for a large fry. FIVE.
I’m going to start calling these guys «Five Buck Fries» instead of Five Guys.
Five bucks?
I’m a moron.

After hearing everyone rave revi about 5 Guys we decided to give it a shot. We’ve eaten at this restaurant 2 times now and I would agree the burger and fries are good I would have to say its over priced for what you get.

Here’s meal price really expensive, fast food shops like people think the price is absolutely unacceptable, I might as well go dine restaurant, but something is very general, so there is nothing to attract me to come here to spend.

If I were pressed to choose my favorite burger, it might be Five Guys. My affinity for them began when they were a new thing around the East Coast (starting in DC I think?) A sudden abundance of locations found the appeal wearing thin, perhaps around 2009 or so. I spent some time feeling «over it,» but now my love has returned and a sustainable affection will remain, I think.
This location is the best I’ve been to in Chicagoland. Not only is the food spectacularly delicious, but the employees are quite friendly. I appreciate the smiles, eye contact, and occasional admiration of my small children.
While the tables could perhaps use more frequent wiping, the facility is pretty clean and the restroom is excellent. The sink, paper towel dispenser, and changing table are above and beyond, especially for a casual burger joint.

Went In with my girlfriend and had an amazing experience! Tony I think is the manager and the guy on the grill Andrew I think were AWSOME!!! So polite and helpful to us defiantly will be back again

Best fast food burger around. So many toppings to choose from. And fries galore! This location is always very clean and the condiments well stocked. Yummy!

Decent burgers, fast, and tasty. I appreciate the «little burger» options for when you don’t need a MASSIVE meat fix. I also love their French fries, and the portions are insanely generous. It’s greasy guilt-​inducing fast food, but sometimes, that hits the spot!
