What do you want? It's a Five Guys. It's a nice looking burger that feels just a tad too expensive, but it's pretty darn good and you get infinite (seriously, more than you can eat) fries. Places like this tend to have an anonymous sense of corporate ownership, and this location is no exception. No real charm here, you give them money, you get a burger. (This isn't necessarily true for all chains - for example, check out the Trader Joe's across the street.) That's particularly endemic to the South Loop neighborhood. So, yeah, this is about as good as you're going to do in this part of town. Enjoy! read more

If you like burgers , the best place for you is 5 Guys - great place for a quick and fresh burger. I went there, because my friend advised me this place like a best burger restaurant. The place is clean, the workers are super friendly, always smiling nd trying to talk with you, and the service not so fast, but it's pretty good. Design of restaurant, is simple and enjoyable, I walked in the restaurant nd seen red nd white colors, there is not a lot of places to sit. One of the best thing in Five Guys - is the music that is played there, it really makes me comfortable. Food I got there was fresh and tasty, I can say that, the products which they use for a food is more natural than in for example McDonalds or Burger King. They have Gold Peak tea for those that feel their burger is enough calories on it's own, moreover they have 4 different choices of usual soft drinks. Are the prices high? Maybe a bit for burgers, also free peanuts for you. Just don't order the large fries though, they give you a very generous portion with the regular size- it goes well with the great value this place offers. I really enjoyed this place, and recommend you to visit that, and try the best burgers in Chicago. read more

Five Guys - Burger in 5 guys - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I have seriously cut down on red meat but I was in the area and wanted to treat myself to a burger and thought Five Guys would do the trick but after stopping here for a bite I think I'll look elsewhere next time. First of all, a burger and fries should be that complicated but this establishment didn't meet expectations. The person at checkout did a nice job but my food was really underwhelming. I always start out with my fries first and these seemed to be coated in grease and way undercooked. I had a late lunch so it wasn't like they were in a huge rush but even if I came at peak lunch hour standards are standards. Next, when it came to my burger it was one of the sloppiest burgers I've ever seen. It's not like I had it delivered and it got disheveled during transportation, no, it went from the kitchen to my tray yet somehow EVERYTHING was spilling out. What made this even worse I tried to speak to the manager about my experience and this guy waves his arm at me and says, "Man, I don't got time for that" and kept walking! Excuse me? They didn't teach you customer service in training? There are far too many choices out there for me to return. read more

Very decent and good sized burgers. The fries are also delicious and I'm usually really picky about fries. You can basically get all the toppings you want for free (excluding bacon). I'm knocking off a couple stars because 1) parking in the area sucks, 2) the fries arrived EXTREMELY HOT, like burn the roof of your mouth hot, and 3) prices are a bit expensive for a fast food burger place... like ~$7 per burger. read more

This place is across the street from my work and after a long day (or weekend) I end my shift with a nice juicy little burger. As I've said in other reviews about Five Guys, I enjoy the fact that the menu is simple and that my burger is made to order. The toppings are also always fresh. You can order and pay online if you are really in a hurry or are tired of interacting with the human race (hey, it happens to the best of us). The little cup for fries? You're getting a whole bag man. Sidle up to any table here and strap on a feed bag. It's going to be a good day. read more

Steer clear!! Their prices got out of hand!! $14 for a f'in burger and fries?? The fries were $4 and they are fresh cut.....but the most expensive fresh cut fries by $2 in Chicago. This corporation thinks your stupid.....AVOID BY ALL MEANS NECESSARY!!! Don't support the corporations that think they can screw you!! The prices for this place weren't always like this. It's apparent they have a new CEO that needs to make money for stock holders. read more

The burgers are delicious! They have the option to get a burger or a little burger. There really is no difference to the size but the regular burger costs 2 extra dollars more than the little one. Little expensive for such a tiny burger but damn it's good. You also get free peanuts while you're waiting. The atmosphere is the restaurant is that of a 50s diner. Staff is super nice and you can watch them prepare your burger. read more

3/4/17 I found a giant hair in my fries after I took the food home. I was going to take a picture with my 7D camera, but I left it on a napkin and lost it in the carpet. I had wanted to come here for a long time after I went to the one in Hyde Park. I think I'll go back to that one instead. read more

If anybody could give Mickey D's a run for its' money on best fries of all time, it'd be Five Guys. Unfortunately I have to rate the burgers as well, and they're just ok, and really pricey. I'd rather go a few blocks north and grab some epic burger, but if you're craving awesome fries, free peanuts, and a decent burger, Check out five guys, I'm sure you'll leave happy. read more

I am not sure what all the fuss is about here. The burger wasn't that great. I don't get the two patties. The BBQ lacked flavor. The bun was blah. The fries were just average (and way salty). The service was good but we were there for the food. read more

Great burgers, and great fries. The cajun fries are a must. Also, they don't charge for extra toppings, which is definitely a plus in my book. I also love this place because you can see the employees cooking, which means it is probably a lot cleaner than other burger places in the area. read more

Five guys is my favorite fast food burger place and the location in the south loop is my favorite branch. Definitely has the friendliest staff in Chicago read more

every time i order online from here i give them 15-20 mins extra before i pick it up and it's still NEVER ready ! most of the time they don't even make the order until i arrive !! norm coming back read more

I was a Five Guys virgin until yesterday. While it was not the burger orgasm I was expecting, it was damn good. Get lots of napkins; it was one of the juiciest burgers I'd ever had. Fries are great too. Everything was made to order. Don't think I'd want to go here if it's too busy-you might wait awhile-but if you're hungry and the line isn't too long, go ahead and get your burger freak on. read more

Ask for Ashley! Friendly staff, prompt service , great food. Boom! What else do you need? I order the veggie sandwich with cheese minus mushrooms. Often they forget to take out the mushrooms, so docking 1 star, but otherwise I love this place. read more

Stopped in late Friday night about a half hour before closing time. Despite the line of people still streaming in the customer service was excellent. One of the line workers kept calling out "Happy Friday!" Basic burgers and topics, and sometimes that's all you want in a city full of $12+ specialty burgers. Love the customized Coke product machines. read more

Split a small order of fries for up to three people. Your stomach will thank you.

This place is going from bad to terrible , if u don't tip them they will whisper to each other and ur burger will look sloppy and your regular size fries will look like a small size fries . I wish the management will do something about that . read more

Bread Sandwich anyone? Although it will come w great toppings but.... Here is the good and the bad; Good: You can pick a lot of toppings that are included in your burger. If you want to pay nearly $7 for a large chunk of bun, this is the place. Bad: I order a 1/4 but there is no way that's what I got. What I DID get was a giant bun and the requested toppings. It was really ridiculous. Again for nearly $7, I would go to McDonalds and get not only an actual 1/4 but also fries and a drink (although that's not my preference). If they can put some meat in their burgers and a little less bun I would probably recommend it. read more

I eat burgers only a few times yearly so can't claim to be an expert. The burgers are freshly made to order and excellent. The $4 fries were soaked in oil and not great. I wouldn't order fries again. Service was good. It was quite expensive and I won't be back. read more

Even during the lunch rush, the staff was super friendly. The cashier was just the sweetest. Love their burgers, and nothing beats their fries. read more

Great fries and service. Cheese burger was tasty but too greasy. Definitely overpriced. $11 and change for a cheeseburger, small fries and a medium soda. read more

I went here for lunch and this place is like a fast food joint for burgers, hotdogs and fries. I try their hotdogs with fries. I must say I didn't like the hotdog and fries I got but I ate it. I wouldn't go back to this place unless a friend wants to go who never try it and by then I would have yet need to try the burgers people rave about. The waitstaff was friendly and attentive to my needs but the wait time was a little longer than I expected since I only had an hour lunch. read more

Good, reasonably fast burger at a solid price. Normally I would prefer Cajun fries, but their normal fries have enough flavor for me. If I had reviewed Five Guys 2 years ago, they might have gotten 5 stars, but over the last 2 years I've experienced some other burger places in the same category that are simply better tasting. read more

My food was soggy uncooked and salty. Whoever cooks these foods should be aware that if your going to work in a restaurant the least you can do is do a better job at cooking the food right. Will not be recommending this place. read more

Very great service. Everyone there is very friendly, quick and courteous. The food is good never had a bad five guys burger good flavor and lots of topping options. Can't beat the coke machine Cherry Vanilla Coke is my favorite l. Parking isn't easy though there is a empty lot next to them but don't think it's there's still parked there the three times I went I always take it to go. read more

Amazing fries, staff making food was super friendly. I don't eat meat so I can't speak for the burgers but the rest of my party loved theirs, and the hot dog. Veggie sandwich is good as long as you don't forget to add extras. read more

This is a solid 5 guys location. I always online order, and then pick-up. Never had any problems and the food is great, I get junior bacon hamburger all the way with jalapeno peppers. Not a fan of the cajun fries, but their regular ones are good. read more

Not real sure what some people are expecting when coming to this place? McDonald's fries are better? That's sad to the point of laughable! Chemical laden crap vs cut and cooked fresh. Sorry but no comparison. My experience at 5 guys was excellent as expected and this location is awesome. The employees make it even better. They were singing and smiling and enjoying their time at work. Keep up the good work and kudos to the workers! Great job read more

You know what you are getting when you come here. A great burger and fries and they definitely deliver

Great Cajun fries and good service! The burgers could be better but I like the portion sizes of everything.

Amazing service!! Great atmosphere!! The most friendly place I've been to in a while and the burgers are DELICIOUS!! Highly recommend the little cheese all the way. read more

My burger was great. Staff was super friendly. Had a bad experience at the restaurant next door, so it was nice to find something worth going back to. read more

Don't know why it took me forever to eat at Five Guys, but when a buddy of mine took me a few months ago for my first time at this S. Loop location, I was SO impressed. The bacon cheeseburger was AMAZING. I didn't order any fries because I was going to share with the friend I came with. But when the guys dishing out the orders found out it was my first time and I didn't have any fries with my burger, they just gave me a regular order of fries (with the customary extra scoop of fries in the bag) for FREE. For a chain restaurant, that was a super nice touch. Thanks Five Guys! I'll be back. read more

Burgers are fresh and juicy, they give plenty of fries in an order. Only downside is that it's kind of expensive.

Love it. I'm the guy who always orders the double bacon cheese burger with ketchup and jalapenos. Love the soda machines here too. Awesome idea and investment. read more

Walked-in 10 minutes before they closed, but the staff was full of energy and the service was great. We ordered hamburgers, cheeseburgers and a large fries. All toppings are free, and the burgers are a good size. They were pretty generous with the fries. They cut up the hot dogs from the middle, which looked interesting. I'll be getting that next time I'm there. Service was a bit slow, but they were busy as well, considering they were trying to live up to the "five guys" only behind the counter. I'd definitely go again. read more

I visited Five Guys for the first time here. It's very delicious! I like the taste of beef there!

On a trip to the loop, I stopped here recently and ordered some food. Kinda greesy and not really my type but they were really nice, would eat there again probably 3/5 read more

Always heard they hype about this place and thought id give it a spin. Not bad! fries are super good.
