- SBSean BrownJun 23, 20261.0I'll most definitely go to my local full service restaurant next time I think burgerfor a better burger maybe think about salt & pepper and a small burger with what make people feel they got something of value,all the free toppings sounds good but at my local place the specialty burgers are more than that and not that cost, and can't even get the cheese i wanted. Craziness, and the bag my fries are in is soaked in oilfrom the fries and the handprint from the guy who handed it to me, I will not return, to any location, sorry this just wasn't goodandvthrowingbout most of what i got.

- FKFrank KJun 1, 20261.0Came here 30 minutes before close and the employees were visibly displeased that we were there. Tried to greet the worker and she just kept her head down and ignored us. She was constantly slapping her head which was very strange as well, like slapping the hell out of her head. Last time I was here it was right when they opened and the guy was outside smoking pot.
- AMAmy MartinezApr 30, 20262.0Five Guys is my favorite…love that I can get a gluten free burger and fries. I also love the atmosphere and friendly staff. I have been to many, many locations all over the country including this one many times. Tonight was most definitely the rudest Five Guys staff I’ve ever encountered. The guy taking my order kept saying TOPPINGS before I could even get the burger order out of my mouth and rushed me so much I literally forgot to order fries. Like, I know I need to tell you the toppings…relax buddy. Then my order was ready before they even started making my shake and they were seemingly annoyed with me that I even brought it up. The guy that took my order then addressed me by shouting YO! What kind of shake you had? All I could do was laugh. Sad, because this was never my experience before at this location.
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.
