Excellent friendly service. Tap water not filtered like Shake Shack, tasted like a pool. Peanuts everywhere so parents beware. The burgers were respectable but overly messy. Like 10 napkin messy. Annoyingly so. Flavor was plain compared to Shake Shack or In N Out's secret sauces. Highlight was most definitely the fries. Excellent and very fresh. Overall a 2 but fries pushed it to a 3. read more

Five Guys - Best part was the fries. - Fast Food Near Me - Dedham, Massachusetts

Fast simple and good. The menu has like 5 things on it. Hamburgers hotdogs fries and some vegitarian thing with variations of them. ie Cheeseburger bacon burger bacon cheeseburger. The toppings are free and as many as you want. The burger was good and not to greesy. The fries were great and they have 50 pound bags for potatoes just sitting in the dining area giving the impression that they are fresh. The staff was very friendly and patient. read more

Minus 1 star for never having enough seating during the busy times! Where else can you slop whatever crazy toppings onto your burger without being judged or charged a boat load more? If I'm feeling mushroom bbq cheeseburger without patty, these guys aren't even going to bat an eye. Want to be an even bigger piggy monster? Order the CAJUN french fries. While the regular french fries are good, the cajun ones are absolutely bangin . They are like salsa dancers in your mouth. Grab a spot in line to the left of the door when you walk in for your waiting pleasure, or better yet leave a coat on one of the tables to claim a seat. Be sure to have your order ready (drink, burger, fries) and seriously for you n00bs, KEEP YOUR RECEIPT. This is your claim to the glorious burger fortune , and your belly is the heir. read more

it was 90+ degrees and i found myself living every man's dream. yes. i was getting new tires at sears. i figured, if my life was going to suck in one respect, i'd treat myself in another. enter five guys. i'll keep it simple. the "famous" burgers are double patties. the famous bacon cheeseburger is about 2/3 of a pound of juicy grilled meat + bacon + your choice of FIFTEEN toppings (i went with ketchup, mustard, grilled onions, lettuce and tomatoes) = good. a "small" order of fries came in a 12 oz. styrofoam cup (not cool) that itself came in a bag with enough extra fries in it to fill up said cup twice more (3 fries, one cup?) = good. DO NOT come here under any circumstances if you have peanut allergies. unless you want to die. then come here. 5 guys, 4 stars, but it's more like 3.75. i'd definitely come back, but only if i were in the area. and, since sears will rotate my tires for free every 6,000 miles, i'd say i'll be back in about 6 or 7 months. read more

Five Guys - mmmmmm . . . famous bacon cheeseburger ::drool:: - Fast Food Near Me - Dedham, Massachusetts

The burger are delicious, patties are moist and tender, and 100% peanut oil fries are awesome! It was a great combination :) I got the cajun fries with my burger and that was amazing! definitely fresh cut and crispy...mmmm... because they're using 100% pure peanut oil, you could tell the difference between vegetable oil fries and five guys fries. It is reasonable prices, free toppings, offer free peanuts while you are waiting for orders, and the burgers are really really good!!!! :) read more

We never eat fast food (McDonald's/BK/Wendy's) however we love 5 Guys. Compared to local sit down restaurants like 3-squares that charge $12 - $14 for a single burger, 5 Guys is truly a bargain for half the price. Besides the awesome Coke machine that gives you the ability to combine 100's of flavors, the potato farm is posted as is the location the beef was raised. Perhaps some may consider 5 Guys fast food , which it is, super fast - but when the purveyors are posted , it is truly a big step above the rest. Add free peanuts and a casual atmosphere and you have a hit. read more

This is really the best place to get a burger The meat was really fresh you can taste it but the price was high Also, the fries are cooked more than enough Still it has the best burgers ever read more

I grew up a few miles from the original Five Guys location in VA, where this chain is an institution. I was so happy when this location opened last year, the first one in the Boston area. Ground rules: 1) This is a fast food burger, fried on a griddle. It's not a pub-style grilled burger. They are two fundamentally different preparations. Grease is part of the package: if you don't like a greasy burger, don't eat here. 2) Unless you are an exceptionally hungry person, you will do just fine ordering a small fries and a small burger. The "regular" burger is a towering monstrosity (of the best kind), so don't tackle it unless you're up for it. And don't be fooled by the size of the cups the fries are served in: the cup goes in a paper bag and is overflowed. A small fries will be more than enough for one person. 3) Enjoy some peanuts while you wait. It's part of the experience. I don't have much to add that others haven't covered here, except that I vastly prefer the regular fries to the cajun fries (they are not battered like, say, Popeye's cajun fries, they just have a lot of cajun spice powder on them). My favorite Five Guys burger construction: bacon, cheese, ketchup, raw onion, pickles, tomatoes, mayo, lettuce, jalepeno peppers. read more

All good. Reliable. Good spot. Food is what it is. Love the soda machine. read more

This place confuses me! It looks like one of those cheesy deli/sandwich/ice cream shop combos in your local strip mall, not a national chain. They cram more than five guys--more like 12 people--into a kitchen the size of a bathroom. And they're not all guys either! HUHWUT? I heard a lot about this peanut smashing tradition, but I haven't seen it. I think they keep them boxed up toward the back. I don't get how peanuts and burgers go together! Eek, my head starts to hurt here. I am all about fried potato goodness. Five Guys' come in cajun and plain varieties, and honestly, I've sampled both, and they just taste "red" to me. I'm bewildered! The burgers? well, I'm not an expert, because I don't eat red meat often. They definitely seem pretty tasty (I get the single baby burger size: I like my arteries), but that could be some sleight of ham(burger) because of all the stuff I can get on top of it, like barbeque sauce, A1 sauce, jalepenos, mustard, blah blah blah. But dang, I can chow down on a bacon-mushroom-swiss burger in like 30 seconds. My head may be discombobulated, but my stomach is far from it. Word to the wise: check your order before you leave if you're getting it to go. All that choreographed food delivery ballet results in the occasional missed item from your order. And call ahead to avoid the long waits for your order. read more

Five Guys is great if you are looking for a quick burger and fries but don't want to go to McDonald's, Burger King, etc. While they might not be as quick as the typical fast food places, it is worth the extra 5-10 min wait. The burgers are great and so are the fries. I don't expect to be going back to McDonald's or Burger King anytime soon with Five Guys just a bit further up the street. Not much on the menu besides burgers (hot dogs and I think grilled cheese are on there too) so make sure that's definitely what you want before you come here. They are slightly bit more expensive than the fast food dives but it's worth every penny (a cheeseburger and the regular fries cost me $8 (no drink)). PS. Don't order the large fries unless there are three of you. They only come in two sizes - regular and large. I am a french fry addict and the regular size put me way over the edge. read more

Hubby & I were starving one Saturday afternoon while running errands & stopped in (we had tried another time but it was far too full). Ordered up 2 burgers (mine small since I can't eat the regular), 2 drinks & a big order of fries. I must mention that their fry order is quite large for a large, though eating out of a styrofoam cup is too inconvenient. That said, I thoroughly enjoyed my burger, though it was quite messy. Hubs enjoyed his food probably a bit more than I... but he's also never been to U-Burger. read more

Slow service!!!!! 18 minutes wait for a plain burger and small fries. The place was not even busy. Poor management and a staff that needs better training and a better supervision. read more

I've been to Five Guys twice now. Overall the quality of the hamburgers is pretty good. It's a hamburger, and sometimes that's exactly what you want- a hamburger between the fakeness of fast food, but without the wait of going to a full sit down restaurant. The peanuts to entertain me while I wait are always enjoyable and something you definitely don't see very many places. Great for casually dropping in, but given that I've always gone on off-peak hours, I'm sure it's packed during actual lunchtime. read more

As I was enjoying my burger and fries and my friend was enjoying a grilled cheese with fries, sitting at a table in the corner, a woman who works here came to sweep under our table and said "Excuse me" and pulled out my chair as far as I could, because I was eating, and she just stood there. I said "Do you want me to move?" and she said YES. I said, very loudly, Okaaaaaay...and moved all of our food to another table JUST so she could sweep underneath our original one and then go out to the back right after. I have been to this location many times, it is very slow. Great food, but terrible customer service. I don't need to be disrespected while enjoying food. Just wait 10 minutes. read more

My heart hated me but my stomach loved me. I'm a bit torn about my review. The cheeseburger - which was unexpectedly a double cheeseburger (hence the creaking sounds of my heart after eating it) was actually very good for a fast food burger. Infinitely better than McDonald's or Bk or any of those places. It was well cooked, tasted like actual meat and I was able to pick my toppings. The cheese was also a nice accompaniment. I ordered the Cajun fries and this is where I was a bit disappointed. Some fries had lots of seasoning some had barely any. Also, I would have preferred a smaller size if possible because lots of fries ended up in the trash. It was a tragedy. They also messed up the order of my buddy - so a quarter star dinged for that (It would have been more if it had been my order!). Since I'm not a big fan of fast food and was utterly disappointed at In and Out Burger I probably won't be back at Five Guys soon but when the taste for a burger does strike it will surely be the place I go. Plenty of parking as well, which is nice. read more

Meh. That's all I can say. My burger was fine, but not amazing. After all the hype of Five Guys, I expected something a little bit more memorable. It also took foreverrrrrr to get my order. There's like 20 people standing behind the counter and half of them just kind of stand there. Move people!! The only thing that I like about Five Guys is the Cajun Fries. They're sooooo good! read more

We drove around 20 minutes, got lost twice on the way but finally found this place. The burgers are perfect - (hey, double patty is the standard, how can they be bad?). Fries have ridiculous sizes - a large was more than enough for 3 people. And best thing is you can enjoy peanuts while waiting for your food. I also tried a hot dog this time (kosher one). It was, well, decent, at its best (and this is why I give four stars.) read more

Yes, I am addicted to burgers! Well, my hubby is more of fan of good burgers than I am. He took to Five Guys and I am hooked! This burger melted in your mouth - LITERALLY! There is a classic burger with as much toppings as you want on it (and it is free)! The cheese is what makes this burger SO good. The meat itself cook "just right" and absolutely juicy even though it is very thin. Did I mentioned their "over the top" fries with cajun spice? A size small fries can feed about 5 people! Also, you need to get their Grilled Cheese Sandwich! It is so good. I have never taste such a good grilled cheese sandwich in my life. Again, it melts in your mouth. And everything here is pretty cheap! Go for it! You know you want it! read more

So if I'm comparing this to their level of burger (in n out, shake shack, burgerfi, etc.) then it's damn good. If I'm comparing it to a gourmet burger (bc it was $7) then no I'd rather pay a couple bucks more and go for a realllyyyyy divine burger (cough OSullivans) Anywho the staff mega friendly, the lady at the counter was on the phone placing a take out order and the grill man asked me what I wanted to throw it on there and get me started I ordered a cheeseburger "all the way" and man I wish my friends warned me a regular here is 2 patties, honestly great but I was not that hungry. I thought the little menu was for children. And then I ordered a little fries but didn't realize til my order came they gave me (and charged me for) a large. Aside from the large expense for fast food it definitely sky rocketed to the top of my "fast food" burger list I will definitely return when I'm in the area but I'll order little everything for little me :) read more

I went for the first time a couple weeks ago. The hot dogs were awesome. My children like the hamburger and cheeseburgers. Very great quality. The french fries are okay some people like that skin on type. I think it's okay. The wait for food is a little long. read more

If you want a greasy awesome burger with some legit effing fries... you hit up Five Guys. Emily, Dan, Ben and I struck out on a quest to get us some Five Guys all up in our faces last night. Well worth the trek. The best part about this place is that all your toppings are free... load up, wait for your number... and then bask in your delicious creation. Sauteed onions? Sure.(except emily) Jalepenos? Check. Bacon? uh-huh... cheese.. for sure. Do whatever you want and dont feel bad about it... go to Five Guys when you need a fix. The service was quick and we had our food in no time. NO frills brown bag type place but MMMM is it good. I will absolutely be back. ASAP read more

Are you hungry? Let me smash your face into the deliciousness that is Five Guys. My brother and I stop by often simply because the restaurant itself is awesome. Free food (peanuts) before you even order. Free refills. Free toppings. Napkins galore because you'll need them. The burgers themselves are good. Little burgers are single patties and regular are two. All toppings are free, all toppings are fresh and delicious. The fries are real. None of that frozen bagged crap. Large cajun fries are our favorite. Prices cant be beat. 20 bucks to have two full grown fatties bursting at the seams. Burgers range from ~$4-6 dollars. Fries are 5 or 4 depending on size. Place is clean- never had a complaint. Youll obviously have remnants if the person before you was inconsiderate. Service- its just order and pick up. So far everyone is happy and seemingly having a good time, which is strange for a burger joint. The only problem- Its far as fck. Five guys, open in Boston plz! read more

I have never met a person that hasn't loved Five Guys! There is something about these burgers that tastes so good, it's awesome! When I found out they were anywhere near the Boston area, I made the trip. All of the toppings are free, the price is right, and the menu is SIMPLE! They know how to make a great burger, and they stick to it. And sorry to my West Coast friends, but it trumps In-N-Out. Their regular hand-cut fries surpass most, except the Cajun option I think is mediocre. Whichever fries you get, you get TONS. A regular size is good for 2 people and there are no smaller options if you are a lone eater. Also, the "regular" burgers are actually double patties and their "mini" burgers are the same thing with one patty. They always have free peanuts to munch on and Cherry Coke too, which is a plus in my book. Overall, best burgers in the world with fast comprehensive service. Easy to order and even better to love. Usually, the locations are small and crowded, but everyone is there because it is "hella," I mean "wicked," GOOD! Just don't count the calories. read more

I guess? I mean, they make pretty good burgers. I don't get the big deal though. The ordering process feels confused and rushed. My burger seemed slapped together and with the first bite, the pickles I asked for shot out of the back [and no, I didn't have that many condiments: pickles and lettuce for life]. The sweetened iced black tea is really good though. The fries are also just pretty good; most of mine were soggy, but the freshness of them was really nice. Was it worth the drive to Dedham? No. But I just bought a house so I'll be at Lowe's a lot, so maybe I'll come back. read more

I actually ate a cheeseburger yesterday For most people, this could be said almost 4 times a week, but I have not eaten one in 20 years. I have been a pseudo veggie for that long First ,Five Guys is the New Next Thing in burgers. the place is retro modern with a big open kitchen(less to hide) in the back and 20 or so tables surrounding The place is about burgers and fries period...Dont waste your time ordering the veggie like me. I ordered one of these and my friend begged me to try the burger...It was dran, fricken(and al the other almost swear words) good...maybe because it is fresh..so we split another standard, double burger The cajun fries were awesome as well....they give you enough to feed a family of 6. Am I a total convert to beef...heck no. I am fasting as I write this Will I be back? Definitely...it was that good read more

Foxboro location at Patriot Place is open and it's equally as fantastic as the Dedham location. These fries continue to dominate my stomach in a good way. GO! read more

I was so proud of myself for actually going to the gym for the first time in weeks... and how did I celebrate? By going with my friend Ryan to Five Guys Burgers and Fries in Dedham, MA. Yesterday was my "virgin" experience of this restaurant and all I can say is that it didn't really live up to the hype taste wise. Was it worth blowing all of the work I had just done at the gym? OF COURSE (!!!! ~.*) but this restaurant just didn't stand out above and beyond other burger places I've visited recently. The staff was unbelievably friendly and the fries (fried in Peanut Oil... this was advertised everywhere with good reason) were good and tastey, but nothing left a lasting impression. The regular burgers come double stacked and the large list of extra toppings are always free, definitely a perk. I definitely took advantage of this and ended up ordering a Baccon Cheeseburger with mayo, lettuce, tomato, jalapeno peppers, ketchup, and mustard. Definitely a decent sized burger for a a little over 5 dollars. What is nice about the restaurant is the atmosphere. What you see is what you get. I agree with an earlier comment, i also wish they had fraps or shakes on the menu. So in summary, good burgers and fries, however nothing that really stuck out as "mind-blowingly good" taste wise. read more

I generally do my best to eat lean and healthy... with that being said I will NEVER turn down five guys. I ordered their smallest sized burger the last time I was there, it was a great sized and I was 100% satisfied. Thanks guys [; read more

I love five guys burgers. Super fresh ingredients all the way and free unlimited peanuts. Amazing. Tip: Don't forget to add the delicious cheese and spicy jalapenos. read more

OK, so after all the turkey and "stuff"ing on Thursday and Friday, i needed red meat... I was up in the Nashua/Amherst area and Five Guys called me... I mean, literally called me in with the sweet smell of meat cooking. Sooooooo we stopped in at around lunch time on Saturday... Parking was easy, the Nashua location is not near any mall so it wasn't too hectic... There were about 4 people ahead of us when we got in, but soon it was our turn... Two bacon cheeseburgers "all the way" a regular fries and two drinks... just shy of $20.00 for a meat orgy....I just love the way the meat juices run down your hand when you pick up one of theburgers... My dining companion could not finish the burger since there was a little bit of a pig out scene going on with the peanuts while we waited.... so I manned up and finished that burger too.... talk about meat coma.....! the service was speedy as always, the condiments on the burger were yummy, but i need to remember to ask for no lettuce... it just takes up space in my humble opinion.... I like the ice tea dispenser too.... you can mix and match your blend pretty easily...At any rate.... the burger and fries were wonderful.... GO Five Guys! read more

In the area for a meeting and I couldn't resist stopping in to try their legendary burgers. There is a reason they are legendary. For the same price as any of the fast food restaurants in the world, this burger will stand up to any burger any restaurant can muster. The burger was juicy, condiments fresh and they give you free peanuts to eat while you wait. French fries are home made and can be had with vinegar. Also, the meal comes served in a paper bag which is great to rip open and spread out on the table as they don't use trays. It's worth a trip just to try one. And you can order online or via phone so your food is ready to be picked up when you get there. Expect them to become more prolific as Five Guy's supposedly has plans to expand in the area. read more

This place has the best burgers I've had in Boston thus far. The space is small and sparse with articles of praise lining almost every surface. My friends fro PA and VA used to rave about Five Guys, and this was our first time in the shop, because we were in the neighborhood. The burgers come in 2 sizes, I got the smaller "all the way." The bf got the regular. We split a large fry. Before our order came up, we grabbed some of the salted peanuts available in huge bulk bags near the counter. What a great idea! If it weren't for the numerous warnings not to take peanuts out with you because of "peanut allergies in the neighborhood," I would have filled my burger bag with them and eaten the as a midnight snack. My burger was juicy and a perfect size. There were tons of toppings and a good bun. However, it was very difficult to eat as things fell out of it after every bite. My biggest complaint would be that the onions and bacon on top were chopped into bits, and consequently would not stay their delicious little asses IN the burger and not on the table underneath. I'm wondering if I could just request whole ones next time to remedy this... The fries were made of actual whole, fresh potatoes allegedly sourced in the DC metro, which is nice. They were brown and delicious. The prices were on par with other higher-end fast food joints, and the quality was much better. I am a super burger snob. Usually, the only burgers I like are my own which are really seasoned and more like meatballs. But I'd happily take these in a pinch. Too bad it's way the hell out in Dedham. read more

Two words: Rigby, Idaho. That's where today's potatoes are from. Problem is, every time I go to Five Guys, they're always from Rigby, Idaho. They've got a big sign telling me where they're from. But if they're always from there, does it really require a special sign? Ahem ... The burgers are really good. Cooked fast, topped with whatever you want with anything from A1 Sauce to jalapenos. While you wait, you can grab some peanuts. Pretty basic burger place until.... that first, heavenly, mind-altering bite and suddenly you're rhapsodizing about the beefy wonderfulness as juice runs down your chin, and a gob of ketchup lands on your shirt. My only complaint is that the place has all the charm of a doctor's waiting room. Not that I need a beautiful decor and soft music while I devour my burger, but the place makes Fuddruckers look like fine dining. Of course, you won't notice that 'cuz your in a state of burgervana ... read more

Easily the best quick burger you can get. Wait time is minimal and everything is fresh. Prices are decent, quality is overwhelmingly good. I didn't think I'd believe all the hype, but my taste buds told me to shut up, swallow my pride and recommend this place to everyone I know. No extra cost for more toppings either, that's pretty awesome in itself. Go crazy folks, go crazy! read more

I can't believe they opened a Five Guys near me and I didn't notice for 6 months. Believe me, I plan on making up for that mistake. Now I can go to DC and not hunt down the closest Five Guys as soon as I get there. The burgers are fantastic - not quite In N Out, but closer than anything else you'll get on the east coast. Get em loaded, and don't forget the fries. You might think "Hey, why did they give me so many napkins" when you open the bag, but you'll use every last one. read more

So here's the deal I haven't eaten fast food (bk,wendys, mc'd, all that other tasteless crap) for about 6 years... So whenever I'm at a dine in restaurant I always crave a juicy burger. I usually get yelled at by friends so i will order a "dinner". However, Five guys burgers and fries totally changed that for me! I love the burgers here! Now I feel like I can actually get a dinner at a restaurant and not regret my decision of not ordering that burger. The burgers here are delicious and juicy! Also, if there was such a thing as a healthy beef burger and fries it would have to be from here! I got the smaller burger and fries which was a perfect amount They have all the toppings that you want with out charging that bs fee (obviously besides bacon). If i had to choose Fudruckers or Five guys...I would have to go with five guys because there's peanuts while you wait and you don't have to build your own burger...honestly how "fun" is that anyway. read more

I have had a lot of burgers in the Boston area over the years, but perhaps none has been as good as the one I had last weekend at Five Guys Burgers. The beef is about as fresh as can be, and they are formed as flat patties and thrown onto the griddle. The result is greasy, juicy, messy slabs of pure heaven. I didn't like the hot dogs there, and the fries were very good but nothing spectacular, but it's all about the burgers here. read more

Small chain with, yup, you guessed it, burgers and fries! They also have boxes full of free peanuts (roasted or salted, your choice). The best part about this place is being able to customize your burger. All the toppings are free. They also have hot dogs (I tried one...they're so-so). I brought a friend here and he was shocked that you could have mushrooms on your burger at no extra charge. If you're like me and find that most burgers are much to large, I recommend ordering the "Little" hamburgers. They are single patties, whereas the regular burgers are two. The best part would have to be the ridiculous amount of fries they give you. A small fry goes a long way, believe me. I've made the mistake of ordering a large to share and found we still had fries left over. They serve them in a Styrofoam cup and then once in the bag they shovel in even more, which just end up in the bottom of the bag. read more

What to say about Five Guys that hasn't already been said in this large collection of reviews? I'm not a fast food junkie - I'm generally the type that prefers a good, solidly made burger as opposed to a quick fix. After living in Arizona for a short while, and experiencing the greatness that was In-n-Out, I'm glad to say that Five Guys brings a similar feel, and arguably better quality, to the table. Most people that have come here already know the story of the chain, starting in the D.C. area and spreading along the Eastern Seaboard. Working down the street from this location, I've consumed their fare on numerous occasions and short of some stomach woes after packing down way too much, I've been very pleasantly surprised. As others have said, the regular burgers are actually double-patties, which can be daunting for average Burger eaters. But both the burgers and fries on the menu are outstanding. Free toppings - so load 'em up, and in short time you'll receive a burger that doesn't taste like a fast food joke. Five Guys does the burger exceptionally well, to the point where (as stated), they may have dethroned In-n-Out as my "Best 'Fast Food' Burger" ever. As for the other menu options - The Hot Dogs are decent, but nothing that will truly impress, and whether or not to go regular or cajun with the fries? That's a personal choice. Many here have said the fries are low on the salt, and that's true. But they've both a natural flavor and appearance that is satisfying, and along with the quality of the burger, pulls you out of the stigma of the typical fast food joint. Long and short of it, Five Guys is a very solid addition to the hum-drum fast food joints on Route 1. That said, when your local burger competition is Burger King and McDonalds, it's no contest. Five Guys is already a very popular lunch destination (go there at noon and enjoy the line - even if it's out the door, though, it moves fast enough!), and it'll only get stronger as the mouths that eat their burgers pass the word. read more
