- RGryan glass5 days ago4.0Quality and service are great but portion size for fries is appalling. Used to get fries in the bag and a full cup. Barely got a cup of fries, $9 fry should be enough for two people.

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.
