- AHAustin HurdSep 24, 20253.0No longer have banana for shakes. Huge disappointment. Cost cutting measure im sure for an almost $8 shake. Lame..!
- LDLen DavisSep 5, 20251.0$15 dollars for a tasteless burger, soggy greasy fries, n a unsweetened coke! No Veterans discount! Never again, should have gone to In n Out! Even if they gave me a free meal, I wouldn’t go back ever👎
- KJKermit JonesAug 18, 20254.0Tasty, but My Wallet is Crying Let’s be real: Five Guys makes a great burger. Thick, juicy, cooked perfectly. Fries? A little overdone this time, but better too-crispy than sad and soggy, and at least they salted them right. Plus, free peanuts while you wait is always a fun way to justify shoveling food into your face before your actual food arrives. The drink machines are also a win since you can customize your soda like you’re a mad scientist, refill as many times as you want, and feel no shame about it. Service? Solid. Taste? Solid. Now for the not-so-delicious part: the price tag. When my burger + fries + drink + milkshake costs the same as two full meals at In-N-Out, something’s wrong with this picture. I mean, why is a milkshake seven bucks? For that price, I expect at least a song and dance number with whipped cream choreography. And don’t even get me started on the parking... good luck finding a spot unless you enjoy doing NASCAR laps around the lot. So yeah, great food, but it shouldn’t cost me twenty-five bucks just to walk away full and mildly resentful. If they knocked 25% off the price, this would be an easy five-star. Until then… my taste buds are happy, but my bank account is filing for emotional damages.

- DYDae Hyun YooJun 15, 20255.0Today was one of the hardest days for my family — we had to say goodbye to our dog. We brought him to Five Guys for his last meal, and the experience we had there was something we’ll never forget. The young man at the register was incredibly kind and empathetic. When he found out it was our dog’s last meal, he didn’t hesitate — he made a special burger just for him. That simple act of kindness meant the world to us. In such a heartbreaking moment, his compassion brought comfort and humanity. Thank you to the whole crew, but especially to the gentleman at the register. You gave us a beautiful final memory with our pup, and we’ll carry that with us forever.

Is the Five Guys veggie sandwich a veggie patty?
Our veggie sandwich is not a veggie burger, but truthfully, it can be a mix of whatever you'd like. Choose any combination of our condiments and add cheese for an additional cost.
Our standard veggie is a mix of peppers, onions and mushrooms with or without cheese.
What is the best way to reheat leftover fries?
Leftover fries are excellent reheated in the oven (or Air Fryer). According to Chad Murrell, one of the Five Guys, just pop them in a 350-degree oven for about 10-15 minutes.
Also, give those leftover fries a try as hash browns, home fries, or even as the filling in an omelet.
