I checked out Five guys at lunch today - gotta love a parking garage on the rainy days, right? Anyway - I had never been so I got a cheeseburger with mushrooms and my normal toppings a regular order of cajun fries, and a large drink. The staff was really really nice (a manager even came by to see how my food was later!) and the place is REALLY clean. You can watch people busting a$$ on the rink while you wait for them to call your number. Warning. Do not order the amount of food I did unless you have a friend with you to share. I ate my ridiculously big burger (2 patties?!!? and not those skinny ones either!) and was only able to have about 10 french fries - which was a shame because they were pretty tasty. Next time I'll get the "little burger" with one patty and bring a friend to share my fries with! It's no Kenny's but for a fast foodish mall hamburger joint it was pretty dang good in my opinion. Definetely kicks Mooyah's butt. read more

Some might call five guys all in one place a "sausage fest", but, after dropping by this place a couple of times, I propose to change the euphemism to a "hand-formed patty fest", or possibly, "add all the toppings you want and try the cajun spiced fries for Hastur's sake fest". Rolls off the tongue, no? First off, let me echo some of the previous sentiments in stating that the portions are very large, and one burger and a regular order of fries is enough to share unless you're dragged-in-from-the-desert hungry. I'm serious here. If you're scared, throw another patty on the burger and remove all doubt. Done this way, two people can eat their fill for under $8. Order your burger, and the toppings are free. I don't think this is amazing amazing, as the selection is rather limited, but it is a nice benefit as most burger joints charge you for jalapenos, grilled onions, and mushrooms. The patties are hand-formed and grilled when you order 'em, and there are complimentary roasted peanuts literally every way you turn (and somehow already in your pockets, apartment, and dog's food bowl) to soften the wait. Baseball just lost one of the few reasons I had to attend a game. My burger came out hot, juicy, and well seasoned, and even through the jalapenos were thick-cut and fresh (not pickled), they weren't blindingly hot. This is a very serviceable burger. The fries really steal the show here, though they approach the art from the tender, skin-on approach rather than the crispy, classic approach. I get my fries with the cajun seasoning, which probably has enough MSG to stagger a field of mice, but which is also truly fantastic. The reason a regular order of fries is sufficient to split is the way they serve them: they first fill a styrofoam cup with fries, place it in a large brown bag, and then "top it off" with another shovel of fries! I have attacked the loose fries in the bag only to get full before I reached the fries in the cup, which is pretty impressive. Befriend a heart surgeon and have him accompany you if you try to take out the large order. Next time you pass by this place in the mall and your girl is on a dress-buying mission straight from the president himself, duck in here for a quick cajun-seasoned restorative, which I believe is how they used to cure the gout in olden days. read more

I am a big burger slob who will seriously try any burger I read a good review about. I love burgers. Big juicy sloppy burger dripping with cheese and onions and bacon and ketchup and mayo...drooooool. I saw some bad reviews about this place when it first opened, so due to my fear of having a potentially bad burger, I've avoided it. The husband dragged me here last week. Kicking and screaming. But, I was hungry and he was paying, so in we went. It's about fricking time. To finally have a place in the galleria that wasn't Grand Luxe (who wants to spend $50 on lunch when you're running to the mall?) or the crappy "food court" (Which Wich has green meat) that you can get a good burger, fries and a drink for under $10 is awesome. The little burgers are plenty! This is NOT In-N-Out at all in any way on earth except that they both have red and white, in which case, we can also compare In-n-Out to Yelp. It tastes completely and totally different. But the taste is good, so that's a plus! read more

Holy crap. Holy moly. Holy Hamburger. This place rocks. After being beaten down by a 3-4 hour trip to the mall with the GF to look at accessories at nearly every girly place in the Galleria, I was rewarded with my first trip to what ya'll call 5G. While I didn't voice my love for 5 Guys verbally, I devoured their Bacon Burger in literally 3 minutes and could have easily done it sooner if I didn't have to listen and mutter one word responses during my meal. Kobiyashi would have been impressed. Thick, juicy, fatty hamburger meat hits bun, with all sorts of toppings available. No add-on costs for the toppings. This was my favorite hamburger of the last 6 months- no doubt in my mind. There were so many tastes in my mouth from this burger, I don't know where to begin. The bacon was crispy and salty, the lettuce, pickles and sauteed onions all added to the burger and the meat, ohhhhhhh the meat, was cooked to my medium specified perfection. We shared a regular size of fries together. Those were my only drawback from a 5 star rating. Being a newbie to this place, I did not realize I could order the fries cajun style, and I was a bit disappointed that during my ordering process I wasn't informed of this choice. Damn! So I was stuck with their standard 5G style fries, which were good, but some could have been a bit more crispy. One thing I did like about the fries as well was the amount of salt used- seemed like they were seasoned just right. Verdict: I'm wayyyyyyy fatter if this was closer to my place, but I am so excited that this was a "treat" for me (I'm such a good dog), and I look forward to my next excursion to 5G! read more

I guess I'm the odd gal out on Five Guys. I went there for lunch today, and I thought it was awesome! I'm a huge fan of fast food cheeseburgers so I always have to try new places. I was already in the Galleria shopping so it was a convenient stop. I got a little cheeseburger without fries (so I can't comment on those). The meat was delicious (not too thick or thin), the cheese was perfectly melted, and the bun was toasted just right. Yum! I do agree that it's a lot like Mooyah, which I also love, but I thought Fives Guys was even better. I will definitely go back. read more

I ate here a while back and really enjoyed their food. The fries they have here are wonderful and extremely tasty. The burger is made to order and this is certainly no understatement. The burger had lots of flavor and the staff was really polite. I haven't been back in a while so it didn't really make me addicted to their burgers, but they are pretty good. Well worth the extra dollar when deciding on which burger joint to head to. I took off a star because the burger was really messy. I had to finish the burger with a knife and fork because it was extremely hard to hold in my hand without going for a napkin after every other bite. Other than that, it's worth a shot if you're in the mood for some tasty fries, great service, and a flavorful (but messy) burger! read more

Pretty good! Burger was a bit stale, but the green peppers were very fresh. Did not get to taste the fries, I had a little cheeseburger with the works except for mushrooms and tomatoes. read more

Sorry guys, I'm just not a fan of Five Guys. I've eaten at a few different locations in both Texas and Florida and I've never been impressed. The burgers are decent and they do allow lots of customization so that's a plus, but after that, I'm not a fan. The fries here are terrible and they have boxes of peanuts everywhere which is just odd. The peanuts are tasteless but I guess that's the point. Everything here is beyond greasy and the salt on the fries makes me feel like a slug. The service is usually decent but very slow. I know they emphasize the fact that their burgers are "made fresh", but they take way too long. It's like they make every burger one at a time and they have no idea how to multitask. My biggest complaint though is the hundreds of magazine articles and Zagat reviews that cover every inch of his place. I find it just a bit narcissistic. I'm so glad you are raved about in magazines in Norfolk and Orlando but nobody around here cares. Dallas is actually a city that has great food. So I really could care less about all the out of town reviews. Overall, give it a try if you like but it's not going to draw me back to the basement of the Galleria. read more

I don't see what all the fuss is about this place. I thought it was going to be hugely amazing when I heard about it from everyone all the time. I went there and paid like 12 bucks after tax for a burger, fries, and a drink, all of which you have to purchase separately. I didn't think the burger was good enough to justify the cost, and I didn't particularly care for the fries' seasoning. Considering Taco Cabana is literally a stone's throw from their door, I can't see ever going there again. And if I want a burger, I can get everything I got there from Wendy's or Burger King for about a third of the price. read more

I would like to start by saying I am not a burger fan. Not by any means. Having said that, this may be the best burger place I have been to. I got the little bacon burger. One patty, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, mayonaise, bacon, cheese. Just a simple burger and it was delicious. I usually don't want to finish my burger when I get one, but this one I could not put down. The meat was juicy, all the flavors combined were excellent, and the fries were damned good, too. I would definitely come here again. This is the first 5 star rating I have given out and I don't like burgers!!!!! read more

Simply put, Five Guys never disappoints. It truly is just as good every single time we go. It's in my top 5 for best burgers and their fries are the bomb too. To add to the awesomeness, you can get a Whole30 compliant burger here because they have lettuce wraps as substitute for buns and their burgers and everything is very clean. I always get everything in black and most of the ingredients in red. The burger is huge and messy but so damn good and it's just an amazing 10 minutes of stuffing food into my mouth. read more

Amazing. I had to try this place after all the rave reviews. The fiancee and I both had little cheeseburgers the way we wanted and shared a small order of the Cajun fries. First, the burgers were a good size and I imagine we wouldn't have been able to finish the regular size. However, we are small people so if you can eat a lot, the regular burgers might be better for you. The patties were well seasoned and very juicy. Made fresh and exactly how we ordered them, A+. The "small" order of Cajun fries was more than enough for the both of us. Actually, the dude filled up the cup and dropped another scoop in our bag; we didn't finish the fries. Btw, Cajun fries are the way to go - fresh cut fries sprinkled with Cajun seasoning. The workers were all very nice and there's free peanuts all over the place. We spent about $12 and left the place full and happy. Five Guys serves very quality burgers for a decent price and we'll definitely come back again. read more

Not a bad burger. I like the fact they get their potatoes fresh on a weekly basis. The cashier on this particular day suggested I get the Cajun fries with my meal and it did not disappoint. Overflowing cup of fries that you can actually share with someone. I almost always go big or go home when I have the option to get 2 patties over 1. I like their burgers but am still in the hunt for the best burger in Dallas.. read more

I must be crazy too, because I think this may have been the best burger I've ever had. The place is definitely a basic burger joint with a a small menu. I've been to Mooyah before and they've definitely tried to imitate what Five Guys is doing in terms of atmosphere, menu, and recipes. But as hard as Mooyah tries, Five Guys is far superior. I had a bacon cheeseburger and fries and again, it was absolutely amazing. A soft homemade bun, two thick beef patties that were handmade as opposed to the thin pre-made patties at most places. Fresh veggies and melty cheddar cheese and delicious bacon. This is hands-down the best burger I've ever eaten (and I've eaten a lot of burgers in my time). The fries were practically perfect too. Fresh, handcut potatoes are used to make their fries and the flavor is amazing. I honestly can't think of another time where I have consciously been amazed by the food I was eating. I cannot wait to go again. read more

Despite the mixed reviews, I think the burgers here are decent. The menu is simple...they have burgers with one or two patties, grilled cheese sandwich, and hot dogs. No chicken, turkey, soy, black bean patties. They have a ton of extras ranging from grilled mushrooms and onions to an assortment of peppers that you can add to your burger for absolutely free. I think the one thing that I really like about this place is the bread. The bread is really soft and tastes fresh. This is a good place to stop for lunch at the Galleria without breaking your budget. read more

It might just be that I am a skeptic, but any place that plasters its walls with reviews of how good it is sets off my bull alarms. I mean, if a place is good, it should sell itself. I had a regular cheeseburger with Cajun fries. The burger was so greasy we needed a ton of napkins, and to me, the flavor wasn't there. I also was not all that impressed with the fries. Added to this, the price is kinda high. Sorry to rain on your parade, but I am not impressed. read more

I went back again and tried their cajun fries, they are really good! I forgot to add that unless you have a REALLY big apatite, trust me the single patty hamburger is more than enough. read more

Another good meal at 5G today. Cajun fries were right on in terms of doneness and texture; grease level was at a minimum. The burger was fantastic, very juicy without being super greasy. I'm still a big fan! read more

Saw this in Galleria and finally stopped in. The normal burgers are 2 patties and the little burgers are 1. I got the normal but would have been fine with the little one. Choices of toppings & sauces were expansive for a little shop. I agree with the In-And-Out comparison mostly bc of the feel of the joint and limited menu. Maybe there's a secret Animal Style or Extra Toast to be discovered. Or maybe they'll look at me like I'm crazy and say no soup for you. read more

For the past few years, I've been working in second-tier cities in China - where a good burger is hard to come by. Visiting the Galleria, I *had* to stop in to the Five Guys and try their stuff out. Good things: - I hadn't really heard of Five Guys before, so I was very, very, very pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food. - The girl at the counter was patient while I figured out the menu, and helped explain items to me. - I ended up ordering a cheeseburger with everything and some fries - super filling, super fresh. I'd go again in a heartbeat. - My order came in reasonably fast, and even though we were there at kind of a down time (4:00 PM on a Tuesday or Wednesday afternoon), the staff seemed to be attending to orders super diligently. No one was just standing around. I like things like that. Bad things: I can't really justify eating here every day. Honestly, that's about it. I enjoyed my burger, and that's all that really matters at a burger place, right? read more

Five guys consistently delivers a big, greasy, cheesy, delicious burger that is sure to please anyone seeking something greater than drive thru trash. A mountain of fries is served regardless of the size you order and they're good too. Try cajun style for a little extra spice. In shell peanuts while you wait. It really doesn't get much better than this for a fast food burger. A con would definitely be the price. A bacon cheeseburger and drink will run you $10. Add fries and you're up to 12+. This particular location is a little difficult to get to as it is located inside the Galleria and on the bottom floor. I always feel strange when I get a to-go order and walk through Macy's with a big greasy bag of food that smells terrible when mixed with the crappy perfume being sprayed non-stop. read more

Ordered a gluten free cheeseburger bowl and fry, my son ordered his cheeseburger. They put them in the same bag, and managed to forget the mushrooms!!!!! I told them the bowl is wrapped I'm okay with it but the fries I can't eat so they said they'd remake them, but they brought me out another cheeseburger bowl without the cheese and without the mushrooms..... Won't come back to this location...... read more

I'm pleasantly suprised. Less than $10 for a double cheeseburger (masquerading aroud as a "regular" cheeseburger), a "regular" fries that could feed two and a large drink. And it was good too. The meat is the star here. It wasn't overly salty like Ball's or Winfield's (two of my favorite burger joints) can be, nor was it masking lack-luster beef flavor through the clever use of onion powder, garlic, ranch dressing, eggs, etc., etc., The simple menu and lack of picture-perfect presentation makes this place feel like it's indepentently owned and operated, even though it's part of a huge chain. read more

I am obsessed with this place. I love it! Straight up cheese burger with sauteed onions and mushrooms it's delicious. Love how the oil just oozes between my fingers and on the tin foil. I also like how the fries are HUGE and can feed like 4 people! AND, they have cherry coke!! I only get it when it's out as a treat for myself and I like to mix it with Diet Coke. Love me some Five Guys right about now ;) read more

I've eaten at the Five Guys in Odessa, TX lots of times. I always went there when I craved a good burger. It silenced my craving for meat because most of the places to eat in Odessa are REALLY bad, There's an oil boom there & no matter where one goes to eat - there's a crowd. It's not really an incentive for the restaurant owner to serve good food. Dallas has some great places to eat! So, comparatively speaking, Five Guys is only an "Okay" place to eat. They DID cook our food much more quickly than the Five Guys in Odessa. That was nice. I was with family & the music was too loud to carry on a conversation. I will go back there again because the Fam liked it a lot. Two of us had Hot Dogs. (I know - right?) And, two of us had Hamburgers. There were not any complaints. The French Fries were VERY good. Note to my peeps: This Five Guys is on the basement level of the Mall (where the Ice Skating rink is). We didn't know this and wandered all over the four levels of the Mall - looking for our meat. Finally, my Significant Other had the presence of mind to ask someone where it was. Lol. I think that my brain was so starved of nutrition that I couldn't think. read more

This is a juicy (read greasy) hamburger...but it isn't pretending to be anything else. The meat is well seasoned, the toppings choices included grilled onions, grilled mushrooms and jalapenos for free, and the french fries are awesome (don't forget to ask for the cajun seasoning on the fries). Don't expect a gourmet burger here, but you can be confident you are going to get a top notch example of the classic variety! read more

Oh how I love 5 guys burgers!!! My favorite burger is the double cheese with A1, sauteed onions and mushrooms... So freaking good. Their meat is always cooked correctly and is always juicy. Topping are great,fresh and in good supply. One big tip is always go there in pairs.. they give enough fries for 2-3 people in a single order and 4-5 in a large. Cajun seasoning is pretty good for the fries but get it on the side so you can put the right amount for you on them. The fries are usually slightly overcooked which seems to be their style, so I have gotten used to it. I would easily give 5 stars if they had sweet potatoe fries or the fries were cooked a little better. Still my favorite burger place nationwide and will be until something just flat out blows me away the way 5 guys did day one and has continued to do so. Sincerely, Daniel B read more

Inexpensive, delicious, and simple. Perfect! A direct comparison to In-N-Out but they are even in my book for different reasons. Five Guys: pattys are superior and have a "hand made" look/feel In-N-Out: serves milk shakes! Final Score: even Although, I wish that both of them would serve a chicken option too! However that would never happen :( read more

Being from Northern Maine, I don't get to go to places like this very often. I almost got to eat at one a few months ago at Regan National, but I would have missed my flight. I'm glad I went out of my way tonight in Dallas to eat here. So, you go to the grocery store and buy ground beef, seeded burger buns, American cheese, white onion, bacon, and potatoes and then go right home. When you get there, you hand-form the beef into patties and throw them on the griddle. You cook up the bacon nice and crispy and chop up the onions while you grill the buns to the texture of a good grilled cheese. Then you cut the potatoes into fries and throw them into peanut oil to fry them. Burger is done, you put it together with ketchup and mustard and throw a bit of salt on the fries. Lots, and lots of fries. This is exactly what you will get if you go to Five Guys Burgers & Fries. It tastes exactly the same, except you didn't have to go shopping or clean up the mess! The burger I had, a double bacon with onion, ketchup, and mustard, tasted exactly like I would make at home. No pre-processed frozen burger patties here! It was delicious and there is no way anyone could eat all the fries they give you. Comments specific to this location would be that the guy cooking the burgers and the girl at the register were incredibly friendly and had real, genuine smiles on their faces. The guy who came to ask me how it was when I was done seemed like he really cared to know the answer I gave him. This won't be my last Five Guys burger, and if you haven't had one yet, you should! read more

Honestly every city I've eaten at is better then the one in Dallas... I like this place.. the fries are rad,the burgers are good.. just was better in DC..VA.. everywhere else... not to mention I hate The Galleria, and get annoyed by all the people not in line but in line on the phone just pacing in and out of line. why go into a place if you don't have the time? read more

It's soooooo good! Love it more than In n Out and I love that place. I just wish they didn't add peanut oil, so I could try out their fries. The burgers are fresh and juicy. Lots of options to add vegetables.. love it! read more

Was so hungry and when I saw this place I had to eat here! Ordered a double small cheeseburger and cajun fries. Had to munch on some free peanuts while waiting for my order. People who ordered after me were served before me which was kinda odd. Looked at my receipt and realized the person took my order wrong :( didn't want to complain because I was hungry. After 10 minutes, i got my order. Just removed the bacon and everything was ok. This is why I gave them 1 less star :( Friendly service! read more

Literally the freaking best. I don't know how they don't have 5 stars. The best fries. Best burgers. Store is clean. Employees are efficient

Burger was cooked perfectly, but the tomato was very under-ripe. I felt cheated on the amount of fries. I ordered the regular, not the small. Don't be tricked into thinking that they give you a lot of fries for free. The regular is almost $4 just for the fries. There SHOULD be a LOT of fries for that price. I got a decent amount, but not $4 worth. The fries were also a little unevenly cooked. There were quite a few that were not quite done frying. On top of all that, a regular burger is almost $6 without cheese. After tax (and with just tap water to drink), my bill was almost $11. Last thing... this is a self-policing fast food dining room with self serve drinks. Get the damn tip jar off of the counter. read more

Having a penchant for Burgers, I have long awaited the arrival of Five Guys to Dallas. I first got introduced to Five Guys 5-6 years ago during a trip to the DC area. At the time Five Guys was just 5 stores - a family owned concept started in the DC/MD/VA area that did what they knew best - Burgers and Fries. I considered this one of the best burgers I have had at a fast food joint. So, it became a must-visit destination on almost every visit to DC. When I heard that they are franchising and finally opening in Dallas I was over the moon. So I awaited their opening and finally visited their first store in the Galleria. One word: Disappointment !!! One could say my expectations were too high but nah !! I was in DC 2 weeks ago and visited the very first store that ever opened - completely different experience. So, I thought....maybe I'll give it a couple of days and visit the Galleria store again. One more word: Dejection !!! Pros: - They are finally in Dallas....and it's nice to see the growth of a home grown, family fast food brand that could rival McD's or BK some day. - The joint has some character and is highly rated in the DC area. Cons: - Burger patty was dry and overcooked - Fries were tasteless and wilted. The same fries that are legendary in DC. I honestly felt that the large fries at $4.09 --- while were very generous in portion --- were a complete waste of money. - Limited menu --- which used to mean they specialize and serve what they do best....but I really don't think my wife would ever accompany me to this place to have a burger again. She hated it !! Bottom line: A very disappointing experience having waited all these years and having tried the real deal (in DC). I might give it one more try in a couple of months...so hope they improve. read more

Very disappointed!! They were out of cheese, pickles and mustard at this location, never had that happen before. The facility was unkept, employees were not friendly and they definitely need more than 2 soft drink dispensers. Happy they still had meat and buns. With all the reviews on the wall and cups was hoping for better. Thumbs down read more

The is a very decent burger. You can tell the beef is ground fresh. Greasier (is this a word?) than Mooyah and not as good as In-N-Out but very decent. I didn't like the french fries personally but I can see some people liking them. They were definitely hand cut, but for me they lacked on flavor. I liked the toppings, fresh jalapenos are good on burgers. I will say this I wouldn't drive and find parking in the Galleria to go there. If I was in the mall and wanted a burger I'd go there. read more

I originally found Five Guys in D.C. and loved it! Their burgers are huge and very delicious. If you are a burger person you will love this place. Their menu is very simple, since their motto is they only make what they can make best. Their burgers include a double or single patty cheeseburger and a double or single patty regular burger. They also have regular and kosher hot dogs which are to DIE for. I find it hard to decide which to get when I go! I have to say that the actual MEAT is WAY better in TX compared to Maryland. You can't beat TX beef. Texans, at least at this particular location, are missing out on another best part about this place. In MD when you order a regular fry they put a cup in the bottom of a bag and then DUMP a ridiculous amount of fries in. This happened at every location I visited in MD and VA, since MD is where the chain originated. At this location, however, they only filled the cup up and that was it. The fries were in the same bag as the burgers, which NEVER happened in MD. Still a lot of food for the price, and still delicious, but a little harder to share a regular fry between 3-4 people like you can in MD. All the toppings for your burger are free so pile high or keep it simple it's up to you! read more

Great burger joint (for this level). I stopped by and ordered the small burger with all the toppings and small fries. What can I say? It was great just what a good(old fashioned) burger should be hot seasoned beef patty on a fresh bun that's been toasted with fries. If there's one thing that I didn't care for was the fact that even though the small fry was huge soo many of the fries were really dark like they were made with the bad part of an old potato. You know, the part that should really be thrown away. Also, I had to clean off my own table before sitting down. In their defense this place is in the mall and as such can get kinda busy with people coming and going and I did see an employee come out and start clearing off tables. All in all a good overall burger place and certainly better than the drive through places. read more

I had heard so much about Five Guys, but was a little disappointed... We ordered two little Cheeseburgers and 1 hot dog. Let me just say that it's a good thing they have free peanuts while you wait, because the wait is LONG. There were two orders in front of us and it took about 20 minutes to spit up our order. On the plus side, our orders were correct considering the free topping selection they have available. The burgers were decent. Much more comparable to In & Out Burgers than McDonalds. They tasted fresh...but the fries are super delicious. They are fresh and crispy and fried in peanut oil. They also give you great portions. My husband thought the hot dog was the highlight...it is grilled to perfection on a toasted bun. Very savory. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here, but if I were at the Galleria, I may stop in if I have 20 minutes + to wait for a burger. read more
