While at a basketball tournament this weekend ,we decided to check out my old neighborhood on Huntington Ave. While most of the restaurants have turned over in the last 25 years, one big improvement is the Five Guys across from the BU Theater. Where was this when I needed it? If there's a word to describe Five Guys, it's "fresh." Everything is made fresh right in front of you, with locally sourced ingredients. There's even a message on a chalkboard saying where today's potatoes for the fries came from. I had a bacon burger, shared some fries and had a vanilla milkshake. All were fresh, tasty, and fantastic. The burger was delicious, topped with a pile of crispy, tasty bacon. Every burger is made to order from fresh beef and topped with any number of choices. The fries are fresh cut, cooked just right, salty and delicious. The shake was a real treat. A fantastic sweet compliment to everything else. Thick and delicious, perfectly blended, perfection. This is a must do if you want a local burger in Boston. A can't miss. read more

I ordered from here via uber eats, there was weird wood fragments in my fries. I tried to call the restaurant and a girl named destiny? answered, when I started explaining the situation she got what i'm assuming is her manager, who asked my name and what I ordered. When I said I ordered a cajun fries and a regular bacon cheeseburger, she hung up the phone. So I did what anyone would do and tried to call back, where she then again answered the phone and then hung up immediately two more times. I looked through the fries and found five or so different fragments of what i'm assuming is the same object (kind of like a toothpick?) and put them aside. read more

this place gets worst and worst when it comes to there service! it took almost two hours for them to cancel my food and that only because I had to do it through the doordash driver after they assigned to other drivers. management sucks there. my son loves five guys but they lost me as a costumer there has been one too many times where they fuck up on an order read more

Stopped by for a quick lunch on Huntington Ave-- and had a great time as usual at Five Guys! It is overly pricy (my one patty burger ran me $10), but tastes great. It is definitely higher-end fast food. It was a bit small though, so called "little cheeseburger", but nonetheless enjoyable. Minus star for not enough bacon. Service here is great though, the staff is super friendly and is up for midday banter! read more

For lunch today I was craving a BLT and wanted a hot dog and Five Guys fresh cut fries with the skin on them are delicious!!!! BLT with Pickle * Ketchup * Mustard and mayo. The Bacon was cooked crispy they use apple-wood smoked it's has a great taste! Fresh lettuce & tomatoes sesame seed bun toasted! It was delicious a must try if you haven't! Fries crispy season perfectly and cooked in peanut oil! I ordered a small but they dump so many in the bag you will be full after you get your moneys worth! The All-beef hot dog, split and grilled lengthwise for a caramelized exterior and American cheese got grilled onions pickles and mustard on the dog! The all beef hot god is delicious they melted cheese and grilled onions are a great combo! This spot is hitting on all cylinders food cooked properly, fresh ingredients and taste was excellent! Will be back again! read more

Paying nearly $10 for a fast food style burger without cheese (and no included side of fries) feels like a bit of a crime, even these days. Despite Five Guys being ridiculously over-priced, this location was still absolutely packed when I visited. It really benefits from being next to Northeastern campus and that's about it. After waiting in line for a few minutes, I placed my order and waited about 10 minutes before it was ready for me at the counter. Everything is made fresh to order here which I appreciate, and the staff seem to have a good process down with prepping the food. Still, the quality of the food doesn't live up to expectations, especially compared to other similar places. The toppings are mediocre at best (I really cannot stand their pickles for some reason) and the beef patty isn't very filling, especially if you order a "little" burger. I don't think I'd visit Five Guys again unless desperate times call for desperate measures. read more

Five Guys - Little Hamburger - Burgers Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

For the price, I prefer other burger places in Boston (smashburger, shake shack). Five Guys in general tastes like a burger I could make at home and the fries are usually soggy - however, they give a loott. They fill the cup and then add multiple scoops into the bag (1 large fries came with 2.5 cups worth)!! The food isn't the greatest, but it does hit the spot if you're craving it. Was very crowded when we came (all the tables full) but the line moved fast, took about 15 min after ordering to get our food. read more

Pretty decent branch of Five Guys burgers. Everything tends to be a bit rich and fattening, but it's a burger place. Service was quite good; and the seating is spacious. read more

I was at a concert at Jordan Hall and needed a quick dinner so I came to Five Guys. Convenience/Speed: 5/10, Food Quality/ Taste: 6/10, Value: 6/10 We ordered two cheeseburgers and some fries and an oreo milkshake. I have been to Five Guys several times in the suburbs so I knew what to expect coming in. If you have never been to Five Guys, the good part of it, is that you can get unlimited topping (grilled mushrooms, onions, sauces...etc) for no extra added cost. The burger is juicy but in my opinion it is too greasy and wet. When you are eating it, the grease is dripping down your arms. I think grease-drip for me is unappetizing, and does not happen at other burger chains like tasty burger, u burger, and shake shack. You leave feeling very greasy and not great. One of the main reasons I am giving a three star review is THE WAIT at Five Guys is too damn long. The restaurant is quite large and only at about 20% capacity and we had to wait more than 20 minutes for a burger and fries. Which is way too long for fast food. The fries are very nutty tasting because they are fried in peanut oil, it can be overpowering sometimes. The milkshake was alright, they real oreas inside. read more

I usually go with a regular old hamburger here. It tastes a little gamier than the average burger though the buns are a bit soggy (prolly the wrapping's fault). I wouldn't scarf more than 2 burgers down in a go though since you are getting 2 patties (if I recall accurately) in one burger and might get acid reflux the following day. Like other Five Guys, they overload your order of fries with more fries (not that there is anything to complain about here). I remember when this place was open in the aftermath of the Boston Marathon Bombing years back and visited then. Not sure how they managed to open when the city was on lockdown and almost everywhere else was closed. A favorite for NU student organization fundraisers, I prefer other burger joints but think that Five Guys is still a decent option if you want a hamburger in the area. read more

It finally arrived to Boston! I tried it today and liked it a lot. Super awesome and friendly stuff and I hope they won't change over time. I really like when I choose to pick my own things for the burger. Since its a new location everything is very clean and they are busy serving tons of Northeastern students. Its a very convenient location and I will come over more often. All the ingredients are fresh and tasty but I don't like the fries with skin, but it might be only me. love the unlimited amount of peanuts you can have! read more

Walked into the empire State building location near Korea Town ..I ordered fries, The girl made a disgusting face and called her colleague. They examined the $10 bill and the second girl asked if I had another bill. I grumbled and gave her a five, She looked through it for another forty five seconds,looking for watermarks while the first girl frowned and looked over.. I asked for my bill back,and said," u know what? I'll just take that back" she looked puzzled, and froze. I took it out of her hand, I'll NEVER walk in there again, Get a counterfeit pen,or machine you idiots read more

We ran in here to grab food before the Celtics game on friday and was totally suprised to find that our server, Ben, understood and made every effort to make sure we had plenty of time to get there. Thank you Ben! I ordered the Bacon Cheddar Burger and it was amazing!! The only thing is just ask what "medium" is because mine was a little on the bloody side of "medium". The fries were amazing and they were very accomidating to my brother's particular tastes. The burgers are huge so save room for sure and they are not a small order of fries, just a heads up! I couldn't be happier with our experience here. Good Food, Good Service and Great Times! Can't wait to be back. read more

We eat here once in awhile. Everything is made fresh to order. The grilled cheese is a hit or miss depending on the chef. And burgers are alright - I wish they would melt the cheese. The Cajun fries are good and I like how they always pour a little extra into your bag. Good and friendly service. read more

I rarely have craving for a hot dog, then I asked my wife who makes a good hot dog, Five guys on Huntington Avenue was the place to go. I know what I had in my mind, a hot dog with a little mustard and ketchup. I waited 2O minutes and when my number was called I already could feel the taste of my first hot in a very long time. What I got was a sandwich so smothered in mustard and ketchup that I was not able to eat it, the ketchup and the mustard were dripping all over. I wanted to scream at person that made this sandwich. Totally disappointed. Bye bye five guys you never see me again read more

My first time having Five Guys in the past three or so years, and I was very happy! The burger definitely hit the spot - I love how all of the fillings come with one price, so you can choose either to have a simple burger or one with all of the fixings. Either way, it's quite delicious. The beef patty was well cooked but still tender and moist, and the toppings felt quite fresh. I would say that the flavor of the patty leaned towards the bland side (no complaints from me, though). And two patties for me was a bit too much, I would definitely only order the smaller version next time! Also, beware - the jalapeno peppers are not the typical pickled ones. Rather, they're raw, and very very spicy! I was unprepared for that little surprise. I also asked the server for his recommendation for a milkshake, and he had me order a chocolate peanut butter milkshake with Oreo cookie bits. As someone who typically goes for a boring vanilla or chocolate shake, I was very happy with his recommendation. I enjoy the Five Guys shakes because they're not too melted but also not frozen to the point that you can't drink it through a straw. It was quite sweet, but what do you expect? Oh, I also tried a bit of my friend's fries. To be honest, not the most impressed. They were pretty tasteless and not super exciting. Overall, I would say that Five Guys has my favorite fast food burger thus far. Great place to grab a quick bite! read more

I have died & gone to heaven! Finally this Five Guys Location is open! My co workers & I have been waiting since November 2012 for this joint to open! Yes we are that fat! Lol. Today was the grand opening! My co worker & I got there about 10 minutes early, thinking we'd be the first ones & beat the rush. Yeah right! There were plenty of other fatty's waiting in line excitedly for the grand opening as well. 11:00 am - the doors finally opened! We were greeted by an extremely friendly staff. They welcomed us, took pictures, video & someone even shook our hands as we waited in line to order our food. They made us feel like celebrities! Ordered 7 burgers, all cooked perfectly. Not one mistake either with the toppings! Ordered 4 orders of the regular fries. Delicious as usual but some of them were undercooked. I forgive you Five Guys. How could I be mad at you? All in all, this Five Guys is one of the best burger joints in Boston! Everything is always fresh, hot & oh so tasty. If you haven't tried their burgers & fries, you truly don't know what you are missing! TIP - Don't you dare go wasting your money at McDonald's or Burger King. Your stomach will never forgive you for it. read more

Located conveniently near the YMCA, Five Guys is a pretty good place for a quick bite. I would say its not the cheapest option out there, but the quality is not terrible for what you pay for. My favorite part is the unlimited toppings as I always like to load up on all the grilled veggies. I sometimes get fries there as well and you usually get a huge amount but you can definitely see the grease soaking through. I also enjoyed the free peanuts sprinkled throughout the store, so this place definitely isn't for those with any peanut allergies or just doesn't like peanuts in general because it definitely is all around you. The peanuts are decently fresh and salty. Overall, a decent option for a quick bite. read more

Idk why I have to explain why I like this place bruh everyone's been to Five Guys if you want a quick, decently good customizable burger come here idk don't buy the hot dogs though wtf man why would you even buy hot dogs at a burger place read more

Pretty standard fare for a five guys. Tasty burgers! The people working the counter and grill are very nice- I wasn't paying attention when my order came out once and the gentleman walked my to-go bag over to me. They are very good about my digestive allergy to bacon (preservatives and pork - and yes I know I live a sad, sad life) and I have never felt sick after a visit there. read more

No idea what the hype is all about. Over-priced mediocre food. You could get a tastier meal anywhere else for less money. The staff didn't acknowledge me once on my physical visit. I ordered a hotdog no toppings and got laughed at. I've ordered delivery twice and both times I am just sat there wondering if I'm at my uncles crappy BBQ eating cheap food. read more

Eh, sorry to say, but Five Guys has gone way downhill in the last two years. I remember biting into my first Five Guys all-the-way double bacon cheeseburger in Medford a few years back and just inhaling it. Seriously, I didn't come up for air until it was all in ma bell-ay. And thanks to this new location, I thought I had it made, having a New England In-n-Out so much more accessible to me. However, lately when I've gone back, the burgers just haven't been as good as I remembered. I think it's because they changed the cheese. They used to slather this melty liquid-gold crack-cheese all over their burgers, but now (and I've found this to be true of multiple FG locations), the crack-cheese has been replaced with what appear to be Kraft singles. These just don't cut it, and what's worse, the greasiness of the ground beef is made all the more apparent without the crack mask. I can barely finish one burger without flogging myself for it later. Also, this is probably due to location and novelty, but if there were any more people in this FG location, I'd think I were in Shanghai. I still like Five Guys, don't get my wrong, but I just can't rightfully put it on the same pedestal that I used to. read more

Ordered from here several times and I have never been disappointed! The burgers are fresh, juicy and of the highest quality. The shakes are positively delicious as well. The fries they give you in the cups are overflowing and very delicious. Double bacon cheeseburger is my favorite and definitely fills me up. I tried to eat two of them in one sitting and only got halfway through. read more

This place is a true burger joint! it is the traditional real beef ,greasy tasty ,made to order with fresh handout fries. Blanched that day and fried to order( in healthy oils) ,with no freezing involved. I worked for Wendys years ago when they were a young company . We used to prep the beef into patties in the store. cut the fires the way five guys does now, prep chicken breasts fresh in buttermilk and bread them ourselves ,and into the fryer they went ,to be stored limited times into warmer . Wendy's got far far far away form this model ,of fresh local food made to order ,with quality .They settled for the frozen quick buck high count pump it out business the way of McDonalds. FIVE GUYS IS NOT AND WILL NOT SELL OUT THIS WAY !!!! I have it right from the horses mouth ,the management of this location .I had told him this description of wendy's I just shared with you ,and he told me the owners of FIVE GUYS decided consciously to never go the way these others have. The manager also assured me if they ever did! He would quit ! So I told him at least I would have an indicator ! But for real great fresh food ( not most healthy but who goes for burgers for health !) How many ways can I say it ?!?!? The BEST!! read more

These guys are great. I come here for lunch about once a week, don't judge, and they always remember me! My food is almost always amazing, and those cajun fries!! Only negative, sometimes the grill guy will just kill the burgers. Flipping it a hundred times won't help it cook any faster. Also, squeezing all the juice out of it just makes it dry, and also does not make it cook any faster!! Like I said, the squeezy burger guy is not there all the time, but man you can tell the difference when the manager is on the line. WAY better! Anyway, the people are always super friendly and my order is always spot on. Doesn't get much better. read more

Five Guys - Burgers Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I'm from Southern California and the 5 Guys there is disappointing and not at all worth the price. But here on the East Coast the burgers here are so delicious and the servings humungous. I paid just 10 dollars for a burger and regular fries that left me satisfied for the rest of my day. The patties were juicy, the vegetables were all very fresh, and the fries were so plentiful that they filled my entire bag. I've found that the burgers served at West Coast 5 Guys are always too soggy and "slippery (?)", but the burger I got here was perfect with every bite. Totally worth it. read more

4 stars for quality food and lowkey being sort of cheap but expensive. I got a bacon cheeseburger with some fries. The bacon cheeseburger was a home run, they usually give me more fries with an order but it's okay. Not a bad place to drop by for a quick eat, and it wasn't even busy. read more

Five Guys - Bacon Cheeseburger with small fry - Burgers Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

This was my first time trying this chain burger restaurant. And my, it was certainly worth the hype! I got the little cheeseburger with all the toppings. The little one just hit the spot. It is the perfect blend of meat, toppings, and sauce leaving nothing left to be desired...other than I now wanted to try the double burger. It might now be placed higher than In-N-Out on my top burger list. The price point is also comparable to other places. Def recommend trying this chain out! read more

I know Five Guys is a regional chain, but that shouldn't take away from the fact that they deliver a reliable, high-quality product at good value with great employees. Even compared to several pricier (full-service restaurant) options, I think Five Guys would still be declared victorious. The location on Huntington Avenue was very clean, and my order for a cheeseburger with all the toppings was done perfectly, I had my order in hand within 10 minutes. As with other locations, they provide peanuts to snack on while you wait, and really top off the fries before handing you the takeout bag. Five Guys does fries than Tasty Burger or Shake Shack, which I think would be their closest competitors. I believe they're made in store at each location. People seem to have this cult following of In-n-Out and Shake Shack, but I'll take Five Guys over those chains any day. It's the fries that truly separate them from the others! read more

Gotta love this place. The boys all love it. Have consumed an absurd amount of food from this Five Guys. The burgers are consistently good and have great toppings. The milkshakes can be thick at times, but the amount of flavors you can put in makes it worth it. read more

We ran in here for lunch because every place else we wanted to go to nearby was closed. It turned out to be a great decision. One of my dining companions is apparently a "regular" and they call him by his first name (is this an accolade to be congratulated of? I don't know...), so he was stoked that he got to pop my Five Guys cherry and be there for me to experience the glory that is their comestibles. I got the cheeseburger, the small fries (okay, there are so many fries - probably enough fries to give two small children their weekly intake of sodium - but still, I appreciate the "more is more" mindset), and the vanilla milkshake. In retrospect, this turned out to be more food than I could handle. But with my friend who is a "regular" and another friend who completed her meal ages before I did, I manned up and went on an ingestion journey. Because I couldn't bring myself to let a stray fry go to waste. It was meant to be consumed, dammit! Everything was very tasty. Especially the vanilla milkshake (do not DO NOT look up how many calories is in any of these items. Just let your gustatory palette go on a little vacation). read more

Woo! Great burger that didn't seem greasy but filled with all that lovin'. For $5.23 that little bacon burger with grilled onions, grilled mushrooms, ketchup, lettuce, tomato, and more onions, was the perfect sized burger for me. But I think Uburger has a great burger like this called the yuppie burger but bigger. The only thing that gives five guys a leg up is the awesome fries and if you're into it, the free peanuts. read more

Horrible customer service, I waited on hold for 11+ minutes to talk to someone. Once the manager (Eric) picked up the phone he was rude and when I asked him why I was on hold for so long he ask me to either place an order or he'll hang up. I asked him again why and then he told me to go #%^* myself. I placed a mobile order instead and sent an employee to pick it up and while he was standing in line Eric was telling the other employees the story and when my employee told him who he was Eric told him to have me come down there so he can fight me. read more
