These guys are GREAT! The burgers are EXCELLENT! The Macleod Trail location has the best service!

Tries to place an order over the phone, they do not answer. Waited a ridiculous 20 minutes to get burgers and fries. Had to get them to do the fries again as they were cold. AVOID THIS PLACE !!! read more

Although we LOVE this place the seating is ridiculously uncomfortable and they've just changed the ridiculously uncomfortable metal chairs with ridiculously uncomfortable wooden chairs...I just don't get it ‍ read more

I had heard so much about Five Guys Burgers that I had to give it a try. I wanted to check the menu online first to get prices and guess what... the prices are not listed!!! You can see the number of calories, carbs and fat which is great because I know I'll be eating carbs and fat but I wanted to see the prices!!! Anyway, I was already in the are and I was super hungry so I still went there. When I entered the establishment I could finally see the prices which I found a little pricier than other fast-food burger restaurants. I ordered my burger and they gave me a number so I went to sit. When my number was called out I went to pick it up and received wrapped in tin foil it inside a paper bag. Inside was a very regular burger... a little smaller than I expected though. The taste was just any other beef burger I had try... so I still don't know why the fuzz about this place. I doubt I'll come back. read more

Five Guys - Hamburger - Burgers Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

Have you been to 5 guys before? No? Well you're probably going to need 5 guys with you to eat all the food you're about to order that you think you can eat yourself. Sure you walk up to the register and place your order for a cheeseburger, fries and a coke. What would be any different than any other fast food place? Yeah the prices are a little higher but it's because of the better ingredients they put in right? Sure. Whether you are eating in or getting your meal to go you are going to get it in a paper bag. This is so that they can bag your order and then dump a crap load of fries on top. That large fry you just ordered because you were a little extra hungry just turned into an extra medium fry. If you're the average person you're going to want to order a little burger. It's too bad they don't offer a small fry because the regular fry is too much for one person to eat on their own. The toppings here are great and they have a lot of choice. Expect to wait a little while for your meal. They're busy and it's going to take some time. read more

Five Guys - Little burger - Burgers Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

+ + + Free Peanuts while you wait Seasoned Fries - crisp, seasoned well, large portions I'm not a burger pro but it was damn tasty and fresh. I'm not a big bacon fan except on burgers and their bacon is CRISPY. It was crispy from end to end. It had that nice crunch in every bite! Still a line up and they've been open for a while now.. I think since November and up until now... still a line up. That's how you can tell their food is so good! read more

Five Guys - Single + grilled mushrooms, bacon,, grilled onions - Burgers Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

After a recent trip to Fatburger I was left quite disappointed, my sister was amazed I hadn't switched over to Five Guys. OMFG. This place is great. An amazing burger, fries and drink. Sure there can be a wait but I'm thoroughly pleased with the service and quality of food. It's comparable to in-n-out - I'm really not sure which one I like better... I do like the Cajun fries better here. So if you haven't been, and you're in the south, you need to check this place out. We can't all always drive out to Peters (and yes I think this place is much better than Peters). PS. A large fries are huuuuuuuge. PPS. My favourite type of burger is the bacon cheese burger with grilled mushrooms, onions and bbq sauce. SO GOOD. read more

Five Guys - view from our table - emptiest i've ever seen this place - Burgers Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

Lives up to all the hype I've heard about it. The burgers are delicious and so filling! I didn't realize it would be 2 patties in the burger. The amount of fries that we were given was unreal. It pretty much covered the bottom of the takeout bag. I was full from eating the burger and the fries that spilled out of the container and hardly even touched the ones in the container. So satisfied. read more

I will never buy a Five Guys burger again. It was a really let down after having so many times enjoyed their partner, Blaze Pizza. I had thought that Smash Burger was rather bland and boring, but Five Guys easily beats them out for just kinda ... I don't know. The burger has next to no flavour - what kind of meat is it really? - and there are hardly any condiments to add to it to overcome the lack of taste in the meat. This is a poor burger, but it certainly looks okay and IS edible. What kinda gets to me is that it seems that most people don't know what a truly great burger is, and in so not knowing, we get used to something that's not good, but for a lack of a benchmark or a true representation of things, we settle for the mediocre and call it good. Without any input from the guest, the fries are simply too salty for some people (esp. with hbp), yet are quite good as a sidekick, but the burgers are the feature, are they not? I also tried their milkshakes, and well, what unimpressive flavor and size, for a huge price. They try to spice them up, but the recommended switch-it-up flavors of chocolate with caramel was not all that good, and the 'whipped cream' was that aerosol junk that leaves a scum on the back of the tongue. So what do you really get? Decent free pre-salted un-shelled peanuts. So do we drop in for the peanuts and leave? Or maybe go next door, and bring back a Blaze pizza to go with the peanuts. Now there's an idea... Go to The Rock or Naina's and get a real burger? Much much better! read more

First ever visit to this chain. A recent poll had it usurping In 'N Out as the favourite burger chain, just not in my opinion. The portions are ridiculously huge. The burger is offered with everything but the kitchen sink for toppings and if you choose most of the toppings, the bun can't handle it. Even given the limitations of the bun, the burgers were tasty. I found the fries to be excessively salty and the two of us could only eat about 1/2 a regular size. Not sure what the boxes of peanuts laying around were all about. It is nice to offer your customers a complimentary snack, but a food item that so many people have severe allergic reactions to is kind of goofy. I didn't see EpiPens on the menu! read more

I like Five Guys. It's not my favourite burger joint by any stretch of the imagination, but I do get a craving every now and then, and it does satisfy. I got a secret for you though... You see that "grilled cheese" on the menu? Did you know for $2.00 you can add a PATTY on that grilled cheese? It's true. And I got another secret for you ... A "grilled cheese" at Five Guys is an inside-out hamburger bun with two pieces of cheese. So when you turn a "grilled cheese" into a "grilled cheeseBURGER" you are actually saving $0.79 AND getting an extra piece of cheese. Try it. You won't regret it. Just like with a regular old burger, you are also able to get unlimited toppings. One more tip: the barbeque sauce is good, but if you order any sauce, order extra. In my opinion, they kinda go easy on the sauce, so ask 'em to sauce it up. It'll be a better burger. A better "saucy" burger. This goes for ketchup too. read more

After all the hype surrounding 5 Guys, I had to try the Calgary location, even if it meant going to Deerfoot Meadows on the weekend. A few quick pointers about 5 Guys: 1) All burgers are a double patty unless it's a "little burger". 2) Toppings are unlimited and free. 3) Fries are fried in peanut oil. 4) Free refills on all pop. The place was busy with a line-up running to the door and a few open tables available when we arrived at 4pm. After shuffling to the front of the line I made my order, cheeseburger, veggie & cheese sandwich, regular Cajun fries and two pops, for $17.50. You are given your cups for your drinks and then your number for your order. Like most things new to Calgary, it's fair to say a large share of the suburban shopping crowd didn't get that your number will be called out later. Luckily, the caller was a loud, boisterous dude who had no patience for customer's ignorance. "NUMBER 17!" "NUMBER ONE SEVEN!" "SEVAN-TEEEEEEEN! YOUR ORDER IS UP!!!!" It was almost worth going here alone to watch people who had held up the line for close to 5 minutes, and prevented other people from receiving their order, sheepishly walk up and take responsibility for their burgers and fries. Promptly grabbing my brown bag from the counter, when I went to get the burgers I realized they'd topped off the *entire* bag with fries. Not bad for a "regular". My burger was covered in toppings aplenty, ditto the condiments. This is not clean or subtle food, and quite frankly, you need to keep the wrapper around half of your meal to keep from wearing it. Taste-wise, it was comparable to a Whopper meets Fatburger. Or, how Peter's Drive In burgers *used* to taste. The veggie and cheese sandwich was less of a hit, because it's simply a bun with veggies and cheese in it. No veggie patty. So ... for those who don't eat beef, your options are extremely limited. The Cajun fries were coated in the dark red spices and had a nice, slow, smoky bite to them. We finished the order and thanks to the rest in the bag, had enough to take home. While I wouldn't say 5 Guys is the best burger I've ever had, it's pretty good. If you're visiting the cultural metropolis that is Deerfoot Meadows, it's much cheaper than neighbouring Fatburger, and open longer, from 11am-10pm every day. read more

I had to check out this place. I had always heard how great the food was and I was not disappointed. I made sure I was there when they opened as it was Saturday. I got there at 1106 and was shocked to see that approx 1/3 of the restaurant was full already. By the time I left there at 1140 it was almost full. I didnt expect it to be that busy, but good for them. Make no mistake, this experience is intense. There were 17 staff working behind one massive open kitchen line.. The staff are shouting all kinds of stuff at full volume, I kept hearing them announce everytime someone comes in "three in the door!" "two in the door!!!" then someone will shout "GOT IT!". It was quite crazy. When they're busy I imagine it is not that strange...if this place ever isnt busy ( hard to believe) it would border on hysterical. So I get to the counter, and was greeted by a cheerful girl, who was polite and sweet and loud too. She screamed my order to the grill like a hellcat in heat. I did find it fun though. I ordered the little burger ( which was still HUGE) Little means one patty only. It was loaded with all the stuff I wanted, and good quality toppings too. I ordered Cajun fries ( regular size, which were so huge I could only finish a quarter of them), and a drink. Order a regular, there are free refills. You fill your own cup and they encourage you to refill them. There is a big sign on the dispenser shouting FREE REFILLS!! Even the signs shout here. The burger was truly delicious, like the best homemade on he barbeque kind. The fries were also fantastic, meaty chips with cajun seasoning ( not salt). They have huge ketchup pumps up front so you can grab your heinz, and also peanuts with little trays you can help yourself too while you wait for your cooked to order meal. A family of four came in and sat near me, and the little girl had what looked like the BEST grilled cheese I had ever seen. I am going to order that next time I am in, it looked that good. Summing up... Great food, FAST service ( considering the fresh cooked quality) High energy place where they focus on doing a few things, very, very, very well. Fatburger next door may be a tad scared. Five guys is seriously awesome. read more

Hate to say this about a US chain, but 5 guys has the best burger in Cowtown. Burgers are a little messy when you have them 'all the way' like I did so it may not be the best place for a first date, but the ingredients are fresh, the all-beef patties are cooked to perfection and delicious, and the fries taste like they should in a perfect world. Word of warning - I'm a big guy and I love food, and I order the 'little' burger. When you look at their menu (which basically has 4 items on it) it may look expensive, but trust me you get more than what you pay for. read more

UPDATE: Burgers and Fries here are still dominant. Quick comment on last visit to Deerfoot Meadows location: Went in at 9:02PM, and they close at 10pm. With no "adult" supervising the dozen 15 - 19 year old staff members, cleanup head home mode started early. At 9:10PM the mopping, scrubbing, and sweeping was in full force. The cleaning fluids created a near noxious level of toxic indoor air pollution that went well with the burgers and fries har har har! One of the kids was banging around the chairs with so much enthusiasm he deserved a raise! Also, the classic rock background music got cranked to the level of a bar to motivate the cleanup and closing efforts. I dont blame these kids for wanting to go home. Its the management's fault for not implementing some helpful policies. For example, they could simply have a rule where the last order will be taken at 9:45 and its take out only or something. read more

I've got to say: I was underwhelmed by my last visit to Five Guys. Granted, I was there just before New Years when the whole Deerfoot Meadows area is still packed with "Boxing Week" shoppers. However, it wasn't the busyness that bothered me; it was the lack of cleanliness. I know you're busy but how hard would it be to go around wiping down the tables once in awhile? How about sweeping? Dirty restaurants like this gross me out and don't exactly invite a return visit. That being said, the food was as good as other reviews on here rave. Tip to my fellow vegetarians: skip the veggie sandwich and opt for the grilled cheese with all the fixings. It's much more satisfying. If I'm hungry and in the area again I would probably stop by and give the restaurant a second chance thanks to the quality of the food. I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt for now that the messiness was due to the time of year and is not standard practice. I hope I'm not wrong. read more

So I've never been a big fan of Five Guys, because their burgers seemed way to heavy and greasy. However, its been a long time since my visit so it's only fair if we gave this another go. This time I had a regular cheeseburger. That's it. And I am happy to admit its a decent burger. I got the works minus mayo and besides the tomato being a little under ripe and it taking a tad longer than I would like to ready my small order, I really enjoyed the burger. There are a number of places I would place ahead of 5G's as the king of burgers in their weight-class. But they are a decent option. read more

My first experience with Five Guys Burgers was in the states. And I thought, holy molly their burger is heavy (as in weight)! Hahaha since it was my first time, I didn't know any better and I ordered a regular cheeseburger with "all the way" (So they have options for your toppings - "All the Way" which is all the toppings they listed or you can "pick and choose". And of course to top it all, all the toppings are FREE, no extra cost whatsoever), regular fries and one drink. As you wait for your order, you can enjoy the free peanuts they provided in the restaurant. It's pretty good since it does help to pass time, not that the wait for your order was long. It just gives you and your friends something to do. Anyway, when I got my order I thought to myself "what the heck did I order? It's so damn heavy...it's like a 3 pounders!!". There were tons of fries and the burger is huge. It was a little taste of heaven. The patty is juicy with overloaded toppings. As far as I know, this is the best burger I have ever had! I enjoyed every single bite of the burger. It was sooooo delicious. Yup when I found out there's one opened up in Calgary I was so excited! Of course I wen to check it out. There was a long line up when I went at lunch time but the good thing is that they are pretty quick. This time I ordered the LITTLE bacon cheeseburger with all the toppings.....well, the burger is not little....but it was still heavy and big. I think their little burger is bigger than the big Mac. This time I ordered the Cajun fries (oh yeah it's a MUST try. It is very good.) Overall, I love Five Guys and definitely going back regularly (as in once a month...gotta watch the calories). Seriously though, after having burger from Five Guys, I feel like I have to run 10K just to burn off all the fat I have digested. So the cons for Five Guys in my opinion is that the burger is too delicious and you cannot help but to eat it and then force yourself to exercise vigorously, that way you can have as much as you want. read more

Now I understand why Obama goes to Five Guys. The burgers are presidential! Loaded with toppings, the burgers are massive, juicy, and delicious. They joint includes a very American feeling, the only thing missing is the option to order your burger done medium. I'll be back. ;) read more

I had originally had this in the States. I was ecstatic to find out that it had come into Canada. The burgers are fresh and made to order, non of that hot-tray crap. They give you a generous portion and is a fair price. The prices are much more affordable than Fat Burger - and I'd say even better. Love this place and go when I can. One note though... GO HUNGRY!! read more

I know someone who was dying to come here, but then couldn't due to a peanut allergy (fries are cooked in peanut oil, and peanuts in the shell everywhere for snacking). Well, you'll just have to take my word for it:, my friend: it sucks to be you!! This place is GREAT!! My first experience at 5 guys was at a different location, and a bit of an aberration (the food wasn't so hot... ). So far, here, it's satisfied every gluttonous, sloppy topping, morbid-to-be-someday food craving. Yeah, the menu isn't super expansive, but why water it down and do everything a little less well for a few fringe orders. Stick with the core, and do it well. And everyone knows what they are in for when they walk through the door. Massive. Good. Food. One star deduction because one burger was a little ... pink... in the center when I got home. Still ate it, though. Eff it. Yelp's 30 Day Challenge 2012 - 27/30 read more

5 Guys has been on my list to check out for my next visit down to Deerfoot Meadows. That visit was today, and I held true to my word. I stopped in around 2 pm, I didn't expect it to be busy at all. And while it wasn't packed, there was still a steady stream of people coming through the door. My first impression? Well, I wasn't really sure what to think. The line was bordered by sack upon sack of potatoes. Odd. The open grill and kitchen was busy and noisy, complete with one of the employees singing along to the Bon Jovi song that was playing at the top of her lungs. Claims to fame of burger awards and compliments adorned the walls. My visit was starting out at about a 3 star. I knew better than to order a regular burger. Instead, I went for a Little Cheeseburger with "everything". That meant mayo, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, grilled onions, grilled mushrooms, ketchup and mustard. The burger was priced right around $5. But with fries and a drink, my total was just over $11. It was a good 10 minute wait for my order to be ready. I can see where visiting this spot on a weekend or over a peak lunch or dinner hour might be something you want to avoid. I took my burger to go and brought it home, still well and ready to have this be a 3 star review. The burger and the fries changed my mind. That burger was fresh and piled up with some pretty tasty toppings. I did my best to savour the burger, but I'm afraid it was only a slight pace off of inhaling my food. And the fries... they sure know how to cook 'em. They reminded me of a spot back home in Millet called the Burger Barn. The fries there were always hand cut and homemade. While I will stick to avoiding 5 guys at the busiest of times, I do believe I'll be looking for an excuse to head down for another little burger. read more

They are really good, but you have to take burger out of wrap right after you get it so bun does get soggy. It would be nice if they toasted or grilled buns. Place was always full and the staff always busy but organized in their stations. Fries are great too! Oh, funny thing is, you have a choice of regular or large drink... AND free refills :P why go big if you have refills read more

I'll keep this short and sweet. Almost intimidating for a first time visit, but worth it. Here are a couple of tips so you don't look like a "rookie" -Pop refills are free -Any burger on the menu is a double patty -A "Junior" burger, if requested, is only a single patty -I hope you like lots of fries -Make sure you know what you want BEFORE you get up to the counter to order so you don't hold up the line -When they give you your receipt, there is a bold number on there. This is your order number. Make sure to pay attention to the guy yelling out the numbers for your order number. -Burgers are very messy, especially if you ask for it "loaded" or "all the way" Just a really interesting place to grab a bite to eat. Don't let the long lines turn you away. 25-30 people in line will only take about 7-15 min depending on orders... (Most people spend a longer time in Tim Horton's Drive thru, even though there is nobody waiting in line inside the store...) **Just a side note: If you eat here, and by some miracle are still hungry afterwards, try eating a D.F.T.R. burger from Boogies Burgers. read more

After trying 5 guys in Medicine Hat in early 2010, I've been dying for it to come to #yyc. Of course when it finally showed up I was on my diet. Well now that my diet and I aren't on speaking terms, I thought it was time to get my burger on. First things first - be prepared to wait. This place is uber popular and if you wait less than 15 minutes, consider yourself lucky. No matter how good the food is, I have issues with paying over $13 for a burger meal. After saying that, the burgers and fries are damn tasty. You can choose any toppings you want (and they have tons available) and the size of the fries is ridiculously huge. Throw in non-stop fountain drinks and it is something to be tried for all. If I were to recommend one thing regarding the burgers, don't go crazy with the toppings. The burgers get messy fast but with the size I guess thats to be expected. read more

Truth be told -- I am not a huge burger fan. Usually when I go out for something to eat and I am craving a "burger like" item, I usually go for a chicken burger. That's my "normal". However, when my mom was visiting me this summer, I took her to Five Guys Burger and Fries, because SHE loves burgers, and I have read good things about this place from burger lovers. What shocked me was the lineup! In my mind, that is a good sign. :) I figured that if their burgers warranted this kind of popularity, I was not going to be left out. So I tried their burger with everything on it, and I have to say.... wow! I see why people eat these things! First off, I was impressed the thing was cooked. I know that's a strange thing to say, but one of my biggest issues with buying hamburgers, is simply because I'm looking for it, I often find them pink and not quite cooked. Five Guys Burgers, thanks for getting the basics right! Cooked food - check! This burger was simply the yummiest, messiest thing I have eaten in ages. With "the works" on it, it was a slippery, slide-y, dribble-y, delicious mess. Even though I had one burger, I looked like I was double fisting, because I had the burger in one hand, and a few stray mushrooms or other random topping in the other, that launched out the back whenever i took a bite. My ego got the better of me eventually and I let the toppings drop back onto the foil, and then simply picked up a fork. Thank heavens nobody had a video camera on me. This is not how I usually eat in public, or private for that matter. The burger was cooked, but not dry. Toppings were fresh and good. The staff were friendly and high energy, and the appetizers (peanuts in shells, that you can crack and eat while waiting in line) was a fun surprise. I will definately go back! read more

LOVE it! As far as fast-food goes, this is tops! The burgers are amazing, big, juicy and SO FLAVOURFUL! I am not even a huge fan of burgers but once in a while you just get a craving, y'know what I mean right? And Five Guys satisfies! It's not gourmet by any means, but gosh darn it's delicious! The decor is cute, diner-style, the service is super quick, all the toppings are FREE, and believe it or not, its the place to see and be seen. Yup, the Major and I rubbed shoulders and exchanged unspoken nods at this location, cuz ya know, you gotta give props to a fellow citizen with good taste when you see one! read more

I was here about a month ago on a Wednesday night for dinner. I tried to go on a couple of other occasions, but it was on the weekend for lunch. It was way too busy and nowhere to sit. In my opinion the burgers aren't anything out of the ordinary. If anything, I noticed they were greasy.The french fries are good, and are fried in peanut oil. I went with two adults and two kids and ended up spending close to thirty dollars for hamburgers. To tell you the truth, the burgers at South St. Burgers in CrossIron Mills are much better. they have way more toppings ie; mango chutney, garlic mayo, gourmet relish etc. read more

The burgers were pretty good - but don't get the "double with everything" as it's a little on the messy side, at least for your first time. It was a big mess. Fries are a pleasant surprise too. However, the restaurant itself is disgusting and dirty, and lacks completely in atmosphere. Bathrooms were putrid and appeared not to have been cleaned in several days. The crowd was also a little scruffy. Although I was there with my young family (kids are 3, 6 and 8), there was a table of construction guys swearing their heads off right next to us, but the table next to us was no better, with a family of obese people swearing openly in front of their small children. This is not a classy place, for sure. So, I would recommend Five Guys, but only for take-out until they clean up their act substantially. read more

I had the regular cheeseburger (with everything plus relish), regular fries, and regular pop (always bottomless here). Total about $13. The burger patty itself was as juicy and delicious as a homemade burger. Also, a "regular" burger here is actually two patties on top of each other. But what made the burger truly a cut above the rest (in Calgary at least) was the generous and fresh-tasting toppings: onions, mushrooms, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, mayo, relish, all piled on to the burger so that it could barely fit between the buns. It was actually hard to get a complete bite of the burger all at once. It was kind of messy (this is not a first date destination) but who cares? The fries were also very good - I love it when they leave the skin on the potatoes. Be warned that the regular burger and the regular fries are probably a bit too much food for the average person (unless you haven't eaten all day) because the regular burger is actually two patties and when they give you the bag with your order they pour more fries on top of everything in the bag so you get what would be the equivalent of an XXL order of fries at most other fast-food places. The only reason I gave this place four stars instead of five is because I'm saving the five-star rating for when Shake Shack makes it to Calgary from NYC. read more

Five Guys has some cred behind it. Obama goes to Five Guys. If it's good enough for the President of the United States, surely it could be good enough for the former student council co-president of Riverview High School. Located in Deerfoot Meadows, practically next-door to their biggest competiton, Five Guys is the latest in premium burger joints to hit Calgary. By premium burger joints I mean it is very similar to South St. Burger Company, where they charge a premium and tell you that you are getting quality that you don't get at other places (McDonald's, Wendy's, etc...). The place was packed. Almost lined up out the door. Don't expect to walk in and out of this place in 5 minutes. Obviously they're french fries are hand cut on site because you are greeted by about 40 huge bags of potatoes stacked just insde the front door. While you wait in line, you can help yourself to free peanuts. The place is big and the kitchen is an open concept. Everything happens right in front of your eyes. It looks like you would expect a burger place to look like, but they could definitely improve on the atmosphere. It is loud. There is no music playing, and they girl who calls out the orders, literally shouts at the top of her lungs, which became annoying. On to the food. I ordered a cheese burger, fries and drink. When I opened it up, I thought they mistakenly gave me a double burger but that is just how they serve it. I ordered it "All the way," which is just a fancy way for saying "the works." The burger was huge, and sloppy. It wouldn't be something you would want to take with you and eat in your car. It was very good - definitely better than your standard fast food burger. I read in other reviews that two people could share one order of fries. They weren't joking. The portion of fries were massive. Impossible (for me) to finish, but they were so good that you would want to try to. The meal came to just over $13. Almost twice as much as you would spend at your typical fast food place. Was it worth it? Yes. You get a ton of food. I ate lunch at 1:00 pm, and only had a little snack at 7:00 pm that night because I was still full from lunch. Five Guys is worth checking out. 8/10 read more

Really good burgers! Better than lots of burger joint. No chewie meat like Boardwalk or St south... Fries are okay. Not the best for me but tastes to discuss... Con: Too bright and lit white and red ambiance. Could have the coolness of a fatburger. At least thr are better burger than fatburger Other con: No onions rings. :( read more

The great American burger stand comes to Calgary. If you live in the south, there's no longer a reason to go to Peters in the north. This place is all about excess. Too expensive, too much grease, too much burger, and too big a serving in regular fries. In other words, it's perfect. Hedonists and gluttons unite! read more

I first tried Five Guys at their Airdrie location, and it was excellent. The south location was just as good. Delicious food, huge portions, and a list of toppings that lets you make the burger *you* want (like Harvey's, but good). It has "Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives" appeal, and although they might scare you when they yell out an order, you'll soon be drawn into the appeal. Definitely worth stopping by. read more

I've been to this location a few times. The food is what it is - really great fast food burgers and fries. Far better than any other fast food chain at a similar price point. I usually get the bacon cheeseburger "all the way" with jalapenos - mmm!!! My only complaint is that there are sometimes VERY long wait times at this location. I think I waited for 20 minutes one time. read more

I didn't actually read any of the Yelp reviews before hitting this joint. I knew there was a new place in Deerfoot Meadows and I wanted to try it. I had previously heard from a co-worker that it was so so but I wanted to experience it for myself. Seems most of the previous reviewers like this place. I on the other hand did not think much of it. It was pretty busy when I was there on Christmas Eve. I liked the sound of any amount of toppings that you want on the burger. My partner and I ordered one to share without realizing that a 'normal' burger was with two patties, so it was a good thing that we only ordered one. We also ordered some fries and the portion was huge. The fries were pretty good but the burger was sloppily put together. When I opened the wrapper it turned my appetite off a little bit when I saw this mess of thing sitting there. It felt like the young kitchen crew didn't really care about the product they were sending out. The burger itself wasn't super in my opinion. I've definitely had better and while quantity might be a great attraction to some, I think I would rather have an awesome tasting normal sized burger than a gigantic one that tastes mediocre. I don't think I would return here again. If you're extremely hungry and looking for a lot of food, this is a good place to go to. Otherwise I would recommend going somewhere else to satiate that burger crave. read more

Went Jan 11th at 8pm - first timer. First impressions, wow, that is a lot of potatoes stacked up all around, and 'free peanuts' - nice. Ordered the single hamburger because I didn't want a double. GF was excited they had a grilled cheese on the menu. Split an order of seasoned cajun fries. Burger was tasty. Similar quality to a Fatburger. Fries were overseasoned for my taste. I would order the normal fries next time. You do get a TON of fries, and they are almost as good as new york fries. Overall, nothing special - dirty restaurant and tables, partially due to peanut shells everywhere. Worker was sweeping the floor, cleaning tables, but clearly missed the peanut shells / pop that were all over one of the chairs at our table. Worth trying, at least once. read more

Hands down my favorite affordable burger joint in Calgary!! (sorry fat) thank you washington for coming here! (After Rays hell burger , five guys is the second best burger joint in DC) You must go ' all the way' and do not miss out on the cajun fries. It gets extremely busy during 11 to 2 so prepare yourself to walk into a space full of activity. Apparently you can call in to order ahead and skip the line. This is where i go for a bite of DC. read more
