Five Guys is one of those chains that stays popular because it does the basics really well. The setup is simple and casual, with the familiar red-and-white interior, open kitchen, stacks of potato bags, and the smell of burgers and fries filling the room. It feels more focused on getting you a satisfying meal than creating a memorable dining atmosphere, but that's part of the appeal. Whether you're dining in or grabbing food to go, the experience is usually straightforward and consistent.
The burgers are the main attraction here, especially because of how customizable they are. The patties are juicy, cooked fresh to order, and loaded with toppings at no extra charge. The cheeseburger is substantial, with two patties that can easily be more filling than expected, while the smaller burger options still deliver the same flavor without being quite as heavy. The fries are just as iconic as the burgers, arriving in generous portions that often seem to overflow the bag. The Cajun fries remain a favorite for their seasoning, while the regular fries are crispy, fresh, and hard to stop eating. Everything leans heavily into classic American comfort food without trying to reinvent it.
Service is generally efficient, although many locations have shifted toward touchscreen ordering, which makes the experience feel a bit less personal than it used to. Food usually comes out quickly, and the quality tends to be consistent from visit to visit. Parking and crowds can sometimes be a challenge depending on the location, but the overall experience is reliable if you're looking for a burger without surprises.
Five Guys isn't necessarily the cheapest fast-casual option anymore, but the quality, customization, and oversized portions help justify the price. It remains one of the stronger burger chains around, especially when you're craving a straightforward burger and fries meal that consistently delivers.

Just moved into a new place out here in Waltham, and I needed some routine maintenance done. They came through, got it sorted pretty quickly, and left everything clean—no fuss at all. It was such a relief to have that taken care of, especially with all the other moving stress going on.

BATHROOM CODE 2023 GUY'S. I am a grubhub driver, and I picked up an order here, and they would not let me use the bathroom. They made me buy a bottle of water. I bought a bottle of water and told them to keep it! Go flip another burger

Always rude when i come in, literally will ignore you in your face. So decided to order for a delivery instead, i called twice inquiring about my order. Claimed to have been picked up, but not once offered for another solution other than order was picked up. Call back and they tell me to call next day for refund because they are closing. Then i call next day for a refund like they say and all of a sudden manager isnt in until sunday morning. Lucky i phone record every encounter i have with anyone who handles my food; i just wont be coming to this location; its not worth the money or headache they are planning to give you just to get your money back

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.
