Had two burgers not even in the bag for 10 minutes that's completely soaked through the bag and onto my pants and sweatshirt everywhere. The burgers were made EXTREMELY SLOPPY AND DISGUSTING! DO BETTER! Then have the nerve to have a phone that's not in service or rings...

I Just Had To Come And Give A ShoutOut To This Location For Starters, the FOOD QUALITY IS ALWAYS TOP TIER !
However I REALLY Came To SHOUTOUT EJ, the young man who works the night shifts !
EVERYTIME I come in whether it’s to pick up an order or place one this young man is EXCEPTIONAL!! HE GREETS EVERY PERSON THAT COMES IN THAT DOOR! I WATCHED 3 PEOPLE PILE IN AT CLOSING. He didn’t frown , he didn’t get upset , he greeted all of us even the last minute ones ! He also made my food and checks AFTER taking all of our orders as well ! There were other workers there however, I saw this young mad run the whole FOH ! Thanks EJ! KEEP IT UP !

The boys were great right? My issue is not with the service level but the food I received. My fries were quite literally burnt, you ever had burnt crispy fries? Yeah not a lot of potato to enjoy in there. My milkshake had clumps of these white small things in it. My bacon was quite literally black you’ll see the picture $30 worth of for I ended up trashing.customer service is of no help besides “putting in a request for a refund” with no SLA as to how long that takes. Yeah ok like? Who holds people accountable money doesn’t grow on trees

I placed an order online. I get to the door it’s 11 pm 2/6/26. Order says it was ready. I knocked on the door and another worker indicated( to what I’m guessing was the manger) and the manager than proceeded to laugh with his coworkers about him locking the door in my face, without acknowledging my presence. My order was made, it was sitting right there, and one of them then went and took it home and ate it, I’m assuming, although the order was paid for already by me. The manager with the I believe to be what looks like dry fake locs needs to be held accountable and fired for his lack of professionalism and setting a bad example for his peers.A person who has no respect for others especially customers has no right to be in any position to lead others.

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.
