The space is really nice, clean, and very nostalgic, it gives old school 90s Brasil vibes, iykyk! There is limited parking right in front of the restaurant with their food truck taking up half the spots. There were no staff present when we walked in, they were in the back, so we went up and ordered using the tablets. While convenient, I find this set up super impersonal. The food, 1 burger, 2 pressed hotdogs, and fries, took longer than we expected 20-25 mins. Once we did interact with the staff, they were super friendly! Now for the food, fries were way over salted, we had to wipe them off using napkins. Burger meat and bun were dry, the patty was also really salty. The pressed hotdogs were fine but they changed the hot dog they use and it wasn't our preference. The homemade mayo was really nice. While the sandwiches are substantial, given the quality, they're expensive when compared with similar options in the area. Overall, not as good as we remembered though I would recommend for the close to what you'd find in Brasil, authentic experience. We hope they can get back to what made them so special when they first started!

Five Guys is one of those chains that stays popular because it does the basics really well. We walked into a simple, casual setup with the familiar red and white interior, an open kitchen, stacks of potato bags, and the smell of burgers and fries filling the room. It feels more focused on getting you a satisfying meal than creating a memorable dining atmosphere, but that is part of the appeal. The setup is straightforward, and the experience is usually consistent whether dining in or grabbing food to go. The burgers are the main attraction here, especially because of how customizable they are. The patties are juicy, cooked fresh to order, and loaded with toppings at no extra charge. The cheeseburger is substantial, with two patties that can easily be more filling than expected, while the smaller options still deliver the same flavor without being quite as heavy. The fries are just as iconic as the burgers, arriving in generous portions that often seem to overflow the bag. The Cajun fries remain a favorite for their seasoning, while the regular fries are crispy, fresh, and hard to stop eating. Everything leans heavily into classic American comfort food without trying to reinvent it. Service is generally efficient, though many locations have shifted toward touchscreen ordering, which makes the experience feel a bit less personal than it used to. Food usually comes out quickly, and the quality tends to be consistent from visit to visit. Parking and crowds can sometimes be a challenge depending on the location, but the overall experience is reliable if you are looking for a burger without surprises. Five Guys is not necessarily the cheapest fast casual option anymore, but the quality, customization, and oversized portions help justify the price. It remains one of the stronger burger chains around, especially when you are craving a straightforward burger and fries meal that consistently delivers. read more

5 Guys is sort of overwhelming, but it's a perfect place if you have that weird masochistic need to level your body with meat and salt and shit. Every employee I've encountered at every 5 Guys seems to have had some sort of transformative experience that has left them completely agreeable and peppy. Never have I seen a franchise with such consistently friendly staff. It's almost creepy. The burgers are absurdly greasy, so you actually have to eat them in 20 seconds or else with a fork and I knife-certainly not in public. The fries at this store are usually overcooked which sucks. Still, I can't really knock the place because it's such an awesome company. Very clean. Way too red and white but whatever. At least there are free peanuts for no reason at all read more

While vacationing in Boston, MA, we saw the long line from across the street and felt intrigued, so we decided to give it a shot. We had to wait several minutes for the cashier to take our order and than a couple of more minutes to receive our food, but after tasting the burgers and the Five Guys Burgers we were very happy we waited. We were lucky enough to find a place to sit and enjoy our food. The food is a bit on the small side, but it tastes great. I would definitely recommend this place, and I will be sure to return whenever I decide to go back to Boston, MA. read more

We walked into a space that sits below street level with a seating area that handles the volume of a busy Newbury Street lunch or dinner crowd reasonably well, and the lively atmosphere made it a comfortable place to settle into rather than just a grab and go counter. The ShackBurger is the obvious anchor and holds up to the brand's reputation, juicy and well assembled with the cheese and sauce distribution landing evenly across the patty in a way that keeps each bite consistent. The Shack Stack is worth upgrading to if you want something more substantial, and the shroom burger is a strong option for anyone who wants something different from the standard beef lineup. The cheese fries are among the most ordered sides and are the right call over the standard fries if you want something that holds up better through the meal. Consistency is the main variable worth noting. Temperature and timing can be hit or miss depending on how busy the location is running, with burgers occasionally coming out on the cooler side when the kitchen is stacking orders. Getting there during a slightly off peak window tends to produce a better result, and online ordering pickup can be uneven in terms of staff attentiveness at this location. The overall experience remains solid for a fast casual burger stop on one of Boston's busiest shopping streets, but calibrating expectations on timing makes the visit smoother.
