Can’t believe I’ve lived in New York this long and never tried Five Guys ! Delicious Cheeseburger and Fries . The portion sizes are great because I felt like you get a lot for your money . First time seeing an accessible tea dispenser which was very cool . For that reason alone I knew I needed to write a review . Space is very clean and perfect spot to go into before or after a movie across the street. Easy to order and service is quick and smiles all around by the staff . See you all again soon . I’m certain of it .

This restaurant often doesn’t send you what you order. I’ve let it slide in the past when it was just a drink but this last time they only sent half the order and refused to either send me the rest of it or refund me for what I paid for. Order your food from somewhere else if you want to get what you paid for

To whom it may concern,
I had an experience at the 2nd avenue Five Guys back in January that absolutely blew my mind. My meal was superb, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg (the iceberg, in this case, being an analogy for my entire experience). I placed a pickup order on Wednesday 1/20 for a cheeseburger, a grilled cheese, and a large Cajun fries. Upon arrival, i looked at the menu and realized i should order a milkshake. I expressed my desire to the gentleman working at the front, Anderson. I am not exaggerating when I say that Anderson was unfathomably kind, helpful, and supportive. He liked my idea of strawberry+oreo, and when i second guessed myself about the base flavor (vanilla? Chocolate?) he softly encouraged me to get chocolate, and I’m so glad he did. He gave me more than a recommendation about food - he gave me a recommendation about life (live it to the fullest, girl)! After placing the order i picked up the pickup order, which was ready. The staff at the pickup area were attentive and cool, offering me extra paper and plastic bags. We had a nice chat about the day (very cold, 15 degrees, and slow as a result). Then i got my milkshake from Anderson, which was executed with extreme respect and included a surprise extra ingredient: love. This iceberg (experience) is gonna stick with me for a long time - impeccable from start to finish, from service to food to atmosphere. i wish nothing but happiness and 100% raises to everyone who worked that night. Thank you for making me feel at home.
With gratitude and sincerity,
Lola Davis

Over $24 for a cheeseburger, small soggy fries and a small drink. Gave up on the burger part of the way through. Fries nonstarter. Fountain drink was fine. I've made more expensive mistakes. Won't be making this one again.
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.
