Five Guys Veggie Sandwich:
A Soggy, Structural Failure
Rating: 1/5 Stars (Would Not Recommend)
I recently visited a very busy Five Guys location hoping to find a decent vegetarian option and opted for the Veggie Sandwich. Unfortunately, what I received was profoundly disappointing—a messy, structurally unsound disaster that completely failed as a meal.
From the moment the sandwich was presented, the issues were obvious. The regular white bun, which is clearly not designed to handle any moisture, had completely dissolved under the simple weight and wetness of the toppings. It was served already soggy and falling apart, leaving me with what looked and tasted like a wad of white soggy bread. The entire presentation was non-appealing and incredibly messy; it was impossible to eat without the contents spilling out.
Beyond the catastrophic bread choice, the quality of the "veggie" filling was lacking. If Five Guys intends to offer a legitimate vegetarian option, they need to do better than piling a few standard toppings onto an absorbent bun. This option is a disservice to vegetarian customers and a waste of money. They desperately need to change the bread option to something toasted and substantial, and actually provide real, meaningful vegetables that constitute a satisfying sandwich filling.
To compound the problem, the staff at this busy location were noticeably unattentive. While I appreciate the challenges of a high-volume restaurant, basic quality control was absent, and getting any attention for assistance was difficult.
In summary, I was thoroughly disappointed with both the presentation and the taste of the Veggie Sandwich. It is a very messy and non-appealing choice. I would not recommend this item until Five Guys commits to a complete redesign of the product, starting with the foundation (the bread) and moving up to the substance of the filling.

I'm uncertain whether the problem is Five Guys or the delivery system (Uber Eats). My last 4 orders, the fries were cold (lukewarm at best), likely due to a lengthy delivery time. Reheated fries are good for nothing. But, when I went in person to Five Guys off of Century Blvd (Pinnacle in Germantown MD 20874) the fries were soaked through with grease and not hot. Either way, the fries are terrible; I won't be ordering the fries anymore. Good Little Bacon Hamburgers, though!

I ordered a little Bacon Cheeseburger and Cajun fries, They didn't even give me my Cajun fries and the fries I did receive were raw. They were only fried for maybe 2 seconds didn't have any brown coloring and just looked like they were soaked in grease and completely inedible. Truly unacceptable.
The burger was fine, but what's a burger without your fries. It was a really a disappointment.

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.
