Five Guys — Restaurant in Mission Viejo

What a disappointment. So much hype, but just another mediocre burger place. Meat was coarse, not very tender, not seasoned, and rather flavorless - some cheap cut I'm sure. Lots of toppings to choose from, but all besides the jalapeno tasted nearly the same; like bland nothing. Also, the amount given is sparse. Can't afford to give me a little more lettuce. Most of the toppings are chopped, so they fall out. Got a couple slices of hard, green, unripened tomato - nice. I could buy better buns at the grocery store than these smashed and dry seasame bricks. Do they employ special manglers to wrap the food.

Cajun fries were okay, but seasoning was inconsistent: one minute you have a bland, oily, potato stick; next minute you have a season-salt lick.

Don't order hot dogs (had a cheese dog); I won't bore you with the rest of the details beyond cold, unmelted cheese falling out of another smashed-to-hell bun. Would have taken Whiz in a can over this mess.

Lots of drink options (e.g., Mello Yello, Fanta, Mr. Pibb); you just need to bring some of your favorite spirit to get over just spending $6+ for a crappy burger when In-N-Out and Tommy's are only one freeway exit away. Drive right past Alicia and get off at El Toro to enjoy some better, cheaper fare.

Is this a temporary location? Seems like they set it up hastily and cheaply. Crap stacked everywhere on counters and prep tables; nothing has a home. Cheap table and chairs; I didn't know you could make the inside of McDonald's look nice. Hey, In-N-Out called; they want their red and white tile back.

Lastly, you've got to love the all the cheap plastic laminated prints of blown up articles/reviews literally stapled (as in the stapler on your office desk) to the wall, even inside the bathroom. I guess they too know their food really isn't anything new and/or good tasting, so they spend every inch of wall space in a desperate attempt to try and convince you otherwise. Saw one print on the wall of a review that rated Five Guys first over Red Robin in second for best burger. Seriously, that's funny and explains it...

First time I've been here. It was amazing. The young kid ringing us up ... Eye contact and present- accommodating my friends unusual but simple requests. He conveyed them to the ones that count and they delivered ! The place is spotless even the glass on front doors was being cleaned by the kid who rang us up. Everyone works apparently as a team and it shows. They asked mid way if our meals were good. We couldn't have asked for more. They can handle a large capacity of people without missing a beat and no one has to wait more than what it takes to make your order. The fries reg. And Cajun style taste just like the ones in New Orleans. The real A1 sauce they give u upon request is fresh and the real deal. No cutting corners or sub par imitations. Lastly each bite of the double cheese burger reg way to make it, was perfect and had the pickles and everything else distributed evenly and completely. Each bite was just as it should be, perfect. If I'm gonna eat a cheeseburger not made at home no better place to go than here really . Like knowlwood (old fashioned perfect making burgers place at the end of imperial highway at the 91 freeway in yorba linda) used to be like. I don't know if it's still there but this place closes to home is and worth every penny u spend. They have a combo special- dbl cheeseburger fries and drink for 13.99 not written on main menu lite board but a plastic. Insert sign next to...

I recently had the chance to try Five Guys, thanks to a birthday gift card from my cousin, and I was excited to see what all the hype was about. Right off the bat, I want to give a heads-up—if you have a peanut allergy, this place may not be for you. They have an abundance of free peanuts available as an appetizer, and the atmosphere is definitely filled with that unmistakable peanut scent. When it comes to burgers, Five Guys offers an impressive variety of toppings, but I found it to be a bit overwhelming. There were so many flavors competing that I struggled to really taste the meat itself, which was disappointing. It felt like the toppings overshadowed the quality of the burger itself. On a more positive note, the fries were quite good! I appreciated the option of malt vinegar, which you don’t often find at burger joints. It added a nice touch to the experience. However, I was taken aback by the price—two burgers and fries set me back $30, which I don’t think is quite worth it for the overall experience. While I enjoyed some aspects of my visit, particularly the fries and the variety of toppings, I don’t think I’ll rush back anytime soon. Five Guys certainly has its fans, but it just didn’t quite hit the...
