- WLWade LewisJul 20, 20263.0The food was alright, but it was definitely not worth the price. I have had better burgers at Wendy's and Dairy Queen. I also don't know why they have the option to tip on their payment screen. I'm not going to tip someone for doing the job they are paid to do. They are not going above and beyond to provide anything extra. We had to get our own drinks and go up and get our food when it was ready. Which I don't mind doing but don't expect a tip for doing nothing.

- CCCycloneRulzzzJun 12, 20265.0Great experience. First time at Five Guys and Rye our cashier was nice and welcoming and explained the menu for me. Food was amazing. The amount of fries you get is amazing.
- HAHasan AlarbashMay 21, 20261.0I went to emergency room in Mary Greeley due to having Dyspnea and respiratory abnormalities after I ate a cheeseburger combo meal with that oily cajun seasoned fries two days ago. The bag of takeaway meal was very oily to the point that I see the bottom of the bag was wet from that much oil. The primary reason of going to the hospital is because shortness of breath resulted from that heavy combo meal and the enormous amount of oil. I’m still exhausted during writing this comment and feeling dizzy. I paid $21.71 to have shortness of breath, weak, and sick. I am absolutely not happy with what happened to me because of the Five Guys meal at this branch.

Frequently Asked Questions About Five Guys
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.
