Five Guys – In-Depth Review
Overview: Five Guys is a no-frills, all-flavor kind of place. It’s not trying to be fancy — it’s here to serve really good burgers (and fries) with generous portions and full customization. If you’re craving a messy, juicy, classic American burger, this place delivers.
⸻
Food
Burgers: • Juicy, flavorful, and always cooked well-done — that’s their standard. • The regular burger comes with two patties, so if you’re not that hungry, go for the Little Burger (just one patty). • Toppings are all free and fully customizable, which is a big plus — choose from classics (lettuce, tomato, pickles) to extras like grilled onions, jalapeños, hot sauce, and more.
Fries: • Legendary. Hand-cut, skin-on, and cooked in 100% peanut oil, which gives them a slightly sweet, crispy flavor. • Cajun fries add a nice spicy kick. • Order a regular and they’ll dump what feels like a large’s worth of extra fries into the bag — it’s basically tradition.
Hot Dogs & Sandwiches: • Surprisingly good. The bacon cheese dog is indulgent and flavorful. • The grilled cheese is a hidden gem — they use burger buns turned inside out.
Milkshakes: • Rich, customizable, and often overlooked. You can add mix-ins like peanut butter, bacon, Oreo, or banana. Thick but drinkable — the real deal.
⸻
Atmosphere • Bright red-and-white color scheme, with sacks of potatoes stacked in the dining room and peanuts you can snack on while you wait. • Loud and casual. Great for a quick bite, not so much for a quiet meal. • Open kitchen concept means you can hear and see everything being made, which adds a sense of transparency and energy.
⸻
Service • Usually fast and friendly. • Your food is made to order, so it’s not instant fast food — expect 5–10 minutes. • Staff often call your number loudly and enthusiastically when it’s ready — it’s part of the vibe.
⸻
Price & Value • More expensive than your average fast food (expect ~$12–$18 for a full meal), but you’re getting fresh, high-quality ingredients and generous portions. • No microwaves or freezers — everything’s fresh daily. • Burgers and fries are big enough to split between two light eaters.
⸻
Pros & Cons
Pros: • High-quality, made-to-order burgers. • Generous portions, especially fries. • Tons of free toppings and customization. • Friendly vibe and open kitchen.
Cons: • Pricey for fast food. • Dining area can be noisy and crowded during peak hours
Five Guys is for burger lovers who don’t care about fancy presentations or gimmicks — they just want flavor, quality, and fullness. It’s a step above typical fast food in both quality and cost, and totally worth the...
Read moreSo I'm a big big fan and I was super excited they were offering curb side pickup. Five Guys is definitely one of my top 10 fast food, maybe even top 5. Anyway, we ordered online and I showed up. I checked in online and waited. After 5 or so minutes I called thinking they didn't get the online check in. The person on the phone (did not get his name) acted like I was a bother telling me "we know, we'll have it out when it's ready." Then I waited, and waited and waited. After a half hour I called back and they admitted they forget. I asked if they could remake it since it was likely cold. They assured me it had been in the warmer all now 40 minutes. They offered me a free shake. The fries were wilted and cold despite the warmer. More than a free shake I wish they could have just gave us fresh fries since it was their mistake. The burgers were good but cold and soggy. So I guess I won't be going back. If the first guy hadn't acted like I was a bother I would have called back sooner. If Corinavirus was a threat I would have just gone in. But.... to be fair the order...
Read moreFood is very over priced for what you get. Taste is not too good and portions are small. Guy at register had an attitude. Music was way too loud. Fries were extremely salty and just thrown in my bag. Most of the fries didn't stay in container and were cut from a damaged potato so fries were mostly brown. I thought it would be an amazing experience like Fat Burger, but was actually a bad experience. And the amazing audacity to have 2 tip jars out. So I put 3 dollars in tip jar, and it still took a long time for my food to be ready, all to discover my nasty salt with fries were all over the place inside paper bag. What a racket they have going on here. Then you see these signs all over the walls saying best burger here and there. Deceitful propaganda. Ladies and gentlemen, truly the very best hamburger I've EVER had came from a chain restaurant called Fatburger, and they are here in Vegas. Tastiest burger, fair price, great service...
