Went into the West Hartford location today and truly had one of my most amazing burger experiences. The food was fantastic, but what made it even better was the energy, compassion, and commitment of each staff member. Their interactions with their younger customers, goofy spirit, and dedication to an EXPERIENCE rather than a meal is something that should be praised!

Subject: Formal Complaint Regarding Employee Misconduct at Five Guys Location on New Year’s Eve
Five Guys Burgers and Fries Corporate Office
1940 Duke Street, 5th floor,
Alexandria, VA 23314
January 2, 2026
Dear Five Guys Corporate Team,
I am writing to lodge a strong complaint about the unprofessional and offensive behavior of three employees at your 316 North Main, West Hartford, 06511 restaurant on New Year’s Eve, December 31, 2025. While I was seated enjoying my meal, a DoorDasher entered to pick up an order. As he exited professionally, three Black male employees—two appearing 50-60 years old and one in his 20s—made derogatory remarks about him, gossiping loudly about his appearance, calling him “slow,” and criticizing his attire.
This conduct was deeply offensive and unacceptable, especially as I have experience working with special needs children and recognize such comments as discriminatory and harmful.
Employees in a low-wage role like grilling burgers and bagging fries have no right to belittle others, calling people slow, or criticizing on how doordashers or customers dress..particularly the older staff who should know better. This incident disrupted my dining experience and reflects poorly on your brand’s commitment to respect and inclusivity.
I demand a thorough investigation, disciplinary action against these individuals, and training on workplace professionalism and anti-discrimination policies. Please respond within 14 days with details of the steps taken.
Sincerely,
Paul Smith
What is the Five Guys story/How did you guys get your name?
Five Guys began its pursuit to redefine the global burger landscape in 1986 when Jerry and Janie Murrell asked three of their sons whether they wanted to start a business or go to college. Now, three decades after our first location opened in Arlington, Va., Five Guys – a fast-casual restaurant chain named for the Murrells' five sons – serves a classic take on hamburgers, fries and milkshakes in more than 1,700 locations across 24 countries.
You can read more about the story of Five Guys at www.FiveGuys.com!
How many restaurants does Five Guys have?
As of January 2026, we have more than 1,900 locations in over 24 countries!
Does Five Guys offer delivery?
Most North American locations offer delivery. The best way to find out if the location nearest to you offers delivery is to visit our website or download the app.
Additionally, we work with all major third-party delivery companies in the U.S., including DoorDash and Uber, so feel free to search for Five Guys through their platforms!
Does Five Guys offer gluten-free options?
The only products we offer that contain gluten are our buns, hot dogs (Canada only), HP sauce (UK only), and the malt vinegar condiment for our fries. In Canada, our Poutine Gravy condiment also contains gluten. All of our sandwiches, including burgers, hot dogs and the veggie sandwich, are available without a bun via our wrap or bowls.
While our crew members do all they can to avoid it, there is always a risk of cross-contamination. Please review our nutritional, ingredient and allergen chart for the most accurate information.
Why does Five Guys have peanuts for free?
Serving peanuts for free began as a way for people to pass the time while they waited for us to cook up their meals (way back in the day, before smartphones). It was such a hit, and has become such a Five Guys tradition, that we keep our stores stocked with peanuts to this day.
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.
Why is Five Guys switching from a fry cup to a fry bag?
We are switching to fry bags to ensure your fries stay fresher and as part of our larger commitment to the environment. The bags allow air to circulate better, so fries stay fresh during delivery and takeout. Same portions, same great fries – just smarter packaging that’s also better for the environment.
