I haven't been here in a while, but I realized after today's visit that Five Guys' burgers are underrated. You never hear someone say "I wanna grab a burger real quick...I'm going to Five Guys." It's usually Carls Jr, In n Out, Mcdonalds...you get my point. Came here on a Sunday afternoon and the place was packed and line was almost out the door. Standing in line allowed us to decide what toppings we wanted on our burgers. For mine, I went with a little cheeseburger (single patty) with grilled onions, mayo, ketchup, and lettuce. Had to grab a side of Five Guys fries as well. The prices are reasonable. Ranging from about $5-7 per burger, depending on bacon or no bacon, single or double patty. However, it's not exactly the most filling burger. I was able to finish my whole burger plus fries, and I'm usually the one who always takes leftovers home. I probably could have eaten another half of a burger too. But with that said, the burger is delicious! The cheese is perfectly melted, and the buns are toasted but soft. It's not the most picture perfect burger, as you can see from my photos, and it's also not the cleanest burger to eat, but again, it's delicious. And about the fries - we ordered the "little" size and they practically threw double the amount inside the bottom of the bag, nice! Definite plus, which makes up for the minor mess up during my visit: no lettuce on my burger! It was definitely entered in the computer because they have a printed receipt of the order taped to your bag. However, lettuce was nowhere to be found! I thought they would remake my burger but instead they just handed me lettuce in a container. Service was efficient and welcoming considering they had a long line during our entire visit. I also noticed there were five girls (and one guy) working, which I found ironic considering their name. Not that that makes any difference in service of course! I'll definitely come back more often now that I have been reminded how good their burgers are! They are definitely on the top of my list for fast food burgers. read more

The burgers are fresh and homemade. The fries are the best. I love the milkshakes. You have to try it! read more

I did not get the topping that I asked for. White male said have a good night. I did not have a good night. He knew what he was doing.

Good burgers but expensive Service is good hours are great when some places are close they are open read more

My wife and I walked in to get a hot dog, burger and small fries. We turned around and walked out because the order was going to be $28! $9.69 for a hot dog! A chain restaurant this size should have better purchasing power from their vendors. I can go to In n Out and have a great double double for $4.59 or The Habit for $6.49. Both of which have better flavor. read more

I hadn't gone to this place in a long time! We had two burgers, 1 large fries to share, a Pepsi and a small shake. It was almost $46. We will not be back, I don't mind paying money for good food but this is fast food. We went to outback steak house and paid less two days later! read more

Went to this fine establishment and talked to a young man his name is Martin. His help was above and beyond. Great service, I ordered a cheese burger and a shake and this young man made the best burger I have ever had and shake. He deserves a promotion! read more

I ordered cheeseburgers, fries and strawberry milk shake. I love the burger and fries. Milk shake was a bit too sweet for me.

Rude staff, arrogant, and unprofessional! Food is good never come back there again tho!

At first glance it seemed like a really great place to dine. The food was good toppings were plentiful. However, the price for my meal was $9.03 for a bacon cheeseburger and a small drink. For extra fries it would have cost me another $2.79. The price does not justify what I had ingested. The burgers over at In-N-Out is just as good but cheaper for a whole meal. Won't be coming here for awhile. I don't know if peanuts expire but here it seems to be okay to hand out expire peanuts. Tip: Once a month kind of dinner. I will be going over to In-N-Out instead regularly. read more

Five Guys - The date I took this 12/28 - Burgers Near Me - Elk Grove, California

Burgers are ok. Their fries are ok, but has a little bit of a sweet taste, which I don't care too much for. The service is fine. Ambiance is average, like any other fast food restaurant. read more

Update review on our local Five Guys. Had the family and a friend, looking for something we could all agree on. Burgers are easy and so the next question was where. Had not been to Five Guys for some time so decided to stop by. Restaurant was modestly busy on a weekend evening. The burgers are good as were the fries which they were very generous with. Always love the free peanuts! The major downside now is the price. The ambiance is fast food, but price is "fast casual". So the six of us were almost $70 with a modest tip for six burgers, two large fries and two sodas. Not expensive in the grand scheme of things, but easily $20-25 more than some of the competition. Probably 3-1/2 stars, but I enjoy their food and rounding up to 4 stars. read more

Can't be bothered to follow through on their orders, nor give meaningful reasons for cancellations. Order from smash or habit. Better service. read more

There are many burger joints in the area, so I don't often find myself at Five Guys. The burgers themselves are nothing special, but the fact that you get to build your own burger with a large bank of burger spreads, condiments & toppings is what sets them apart from other burger joints. You truly get to customize your burger by adding as many toppings as you want. This place is meant for people that like to pack their burger with many toppings. Honestly, the little size (one beef patty) is enough for me. Their fries are also very good & fresh. And let me say they are very generous with the portions of their fries. They come in cups & the cups are always filled to the top & overflowing in the to go bag. They even have complimentary peanuts for you to eat while waiting for your food. I wish I could give this place 5 stars, however I feel that they are about a dollar or two overpriced. A little cheeseburger, little fries & a drink cost me $15.05. It did fill me up & I was satisfied, but I could get way more food somewhere else with $15. read more

Love the burgers and fries. Burgers all the way. Burgers are getting a little pricey. I guess because of Calif minimum wage of $20 per hour. read more

Horrible service at this location! My pick up order said 8:13pm and they did not have it ready and made us wait an additional 30 minutes for our order. No apology, no nothing. So ridiculous and my order was also WRONG. Worse five guys location I've ever been to. read more

Extremely disappointed in the way they put their fries in the bag. I ordered 2 burgers to go with 1 large order of fries. They dumped a bunch of fries in the bottom of the bag, a large cup of fries, then the burgers on top of that, then napkins above that. Got about 15 packets of ketchup! Way too much. On the way home the bag was getting so greasy. When I lifted the bag, it fell apart. Fries were falling everywhere, then the cup of fries. If it weren't for the burgers being wrapped, we would have lost our entire meal. Paid nearly $30 for 2 burgers & 1 order of fries plus a tip. So disappointed! read more

If I choose a fast food burger this is the place. Luv the fries. Nice people at this place in Elk Grove.

Ordered my food on DoorDash this time. My expectations were exceeded. Especially because my burger was still so hot and my fries were crispy. I was very satisfied with the meal. Their fries are really something special. Seasoned well, skin on, and crispier than average. Burger was perfect. I love that you can have as many add ins to your milkshake as you want free of charge. I added strawberry, chocolate, banana, and peanut butter in my milkshake. It turned out great. read more

Five Guys - Bacon Cheeseburger - Burgers Near Me - Elk Grove, California

Im giving one star because i paid 8.39 for large fries and maybe 5.00 9r dollars for regular fries. I get home 6 minutes away and they are cold, old and stale. I understand they were busy but being rhat their were literally 7 orders b4 me u wouldve thought that my fries a would be fresh. Its very disappointing to spend 44 .44 for this type of food. We cone to these palces for fresh and hot not ready and stale. If i could go back i would get a refund this is unacceptable . And just to be clear this has happened at least 2 times. read more

Came in on a Wednesday around 5:30. Not a big burger fan but my nephew wanted to come in. Was greeted by a cashier named Samuel. SUPER friendly and helpful, would give the place 5 stars just based of that. Got the little cheeseburger and fries. All were great read more

Ordered Curbside and it was horrible. Online it said 7 mins, I waited 25 mins in my car and then went inside to see my food just sitting in the counter. Fries were stale and my burger didn't have everything I asked for. read more

This is my second visit to the Five Guys at this location. The burger and fries were 5 stars as was the customer service. Although the pricing seems a bit high, when you look at the cost of doing business, wages for employees and other costs related to being an employer, I don't mind this price, after all I wasn't looking for a fast food meal but a great burger and fries, and I got what I paid for! The burger was prepared according to my order with the toppings I desired and with nothing more than I asked for. The person who waited on me was professional and quite courteous and my order was completed within 5 or so minutes. I like the fact that as you make your order, the counter person(s) is telling the kitchen staff what to get started, e.g. a little bacon cheese burger. The food is fresh, tasty and the meat is real meat, not filled with some sort of additives or grains. The fries are super! The menu has quite a variety of options even for the pickiest of eaters as well as the vegans and kids (grilled cheese and hot dogs). The serving size is generous for both the burger and the fries and there are free refills for the self serve fountain drinks. I talked to the manager as I was leaving, thanked him for the meal and told him it was delish. I made a single suggestion, nothing that would change the 5 star rating but a suggestion. There was a great deal of salt on the fries, a little less would have been better but then again I probably would have added salt as fries are one of the few things I add salt to. My suggestion was to go lighter on the salt as people can always add to it, but you cannot remove salt if it's too salty. He immediately passed this along to his fry cook. Again this is not a complaint, just a suggestion. As I left, I told him I would be updating my previous review or adding a new one. I will definitely go back to this 5 Guys restaurant. read more

Customer service is not lost here. Last week we came here, and our order was not entirely correct. Not a big deal, my burger had tomatoes which I'm not a fan of. The management found out about the error and went above and beyond to make things right. Love the peanuts and simplicity of the menu. Everything was fresh and hot, which I am a huge stickler on. Thanks Five Guys ! Update 8/17/19 - Once again, the staff and management have gone beyond what I'd expect. I made a mobile order, but unknown to me, a new store opened closer to me, and I didn't pay attention when making my order. Unfortunately, I was getting upset when my order wasn't ready after waiting 25 minutes upon arrival, but the manager and staff were more than gracious after the error on my behalf was found. The immediately made my order, and made things right...even though this was totally my fault. Keep up the good service! read more

My first time in a Five Burgers joint and not my last. I enjoyed every bite of my burger. I had the bacon cheese burgwr with everything on it, but relish. I ordered a side of cajun fries to go with it. Those cajun fries, YUCK!! If you want a pile of GREASY, soggy, and salty fries this is it. I read some where that five guys is known for double frying their fries for added crispiness. Well, this puddle of crap represented none of that. Don't get the fries. Save those calories for their milkshakes. The burger on the other hand was amazing. It didn't have the faux charbroiled smoke flavor. It was juicy, cheesy and tasty. Five guys took the reign this year (2017) over In N out and I now know why. Now if only five guys could add animal style fries to their menu my taste buds would be complete. read more

Five Guys - Burgers Near Me - Elk Grove, California

Service were great and the employees were very attentive and accommodating. Great environment

Burger is overpriced but all toppings are free and I really liked there grilled jalapeños and grilled onions. Fries are expensive but generous with the portion read more

Zagat AND Consumer Reports best fast food burger? East coast bias. In-N-Out tastes a bit fresher to me. WEST COAST! Throw it up. Hold it up. Fo fingers up, two twisted in the middle with the thumb cuffed. But anyways.... I liked the fries...potatoey and thick. The $2.69 regular size is enough for 2 people easily. If you don't get fries you can always load up on the free shelled peanuts. The burgers are pretty decent. I liken them to Suzy which is pretty solid. Fresh enough, tasty, and about the right size. Caution: Little burgers= single patty and regular= double. If you like plain burgers with few toppings, this place is overpriced, if you like the kitchen sink (sauce choices, jalepenos, mushrooms, grilled onions, ect...) the whatever toppings (not counting bacon and cheese) included pricing will be a hit with you. What I'm trying to say is there is no dollar menu so the parent with the meat on bun loving kid will have to drop like four bucks. All in all not bad. It's a decent fast food burger. It might have became a habit had EG not already had a Habit. read more

Toppings at no charge , the option of seasoned fries, and yummy burgers ! Oh, and peanuts if you're into that . If I'm craving a yummy burger, I'll come here and get a cheeseburger with bacon, bbq sauce, mushrooms, and jalapeños. I know, it may seem like something a pothead or frat boy would come up with, but, It's customized to my liking and tastes amazing each time . The seasoned fries are a hit or miss but they're still yummy. A kid in my psych class works here and skipped class one day. He asked me to sign roll for him, I did it under one condition . I told him if I did, he'd have to get me fries from here :) he came through! So, next time someone asks you to sign roll for them in class, do it because you just might get free fries out of it :) read more

Burger was pretty good, and I usually love their Cajun fries, but how much Cajun is too much? Less than this! read more

Five Guys - Cajun fries, way too much seasoning! - Burgers Near Me - Elk Grove, California

Their cheeseburger and fries are good and fairly big. I went with a friend that wanted me to try it. But, the über expensive prices will keep me from eating here again. Folks, there is an In-n-Out right across the freeway from 5 Guys. The In-n-Out food is excellent and faily priced. You are throwing your money away by eating at 5 Guys!!! What is wrong with you? read more

It reminded me of In and Out but the difference is that Five Guys have more options to add onto their burgers. The fries are made differently and the environment is different. I got everything on my burger and a regular fries on the side that I shared with someone. I think its okay. It's not the best burger. I would like to try something else on their menu some day. Overall...its okay to me. Nothing spectacular or amazing. Just okay to me. I would however return again to try the other stuff on their menu. read more

This place definitely does not live up to its hype. Note: No drive-thru. PRICE: expensive. Expect AT LEAST $10 for a meal (burger, fries & drink). BURGERS: decent. Buns are soft and everything else has the same "quality" as a fast-food restaurant, except for the additional toppings (mushrooms, jalapenos, relish & etc). FRIES: greasy but has a nice twist w/ the Cajun spice option. Overall, nothing spectacular about them. DECOR: diner (like In'n'Out) but has a roadhouse twist (like Texas Roadhouse) by providing free peanuts. STAFF: needs more training. They looked confused about the orders and had to check the receipts constantly. I saw that they had 10-15 burgers out at once but took their time making the burgers. Plus, I did not like the fact that one of the guys cooking leaned over and yelled over the cooked food. Cold & flu season-- a huge health concern. Managers, please take time training your employees! Would I return? Only if In n Out is closed. Sorry, Five Guys-- expensive price for fast-food quality. read more

I guess this is the East Coast version of In-N-Out. I'm a fan of In-N-Out, but I thought 5 Guys has a better burger. They don't offer Thousand Island dressing as a topping, so if I'm craving that In-N-Out flavor, I'm still gonna go to In-N-Out. So anyways, back to my review of Five Guys...delicious burger. Fresh ingredients, big & juicy patties, lots of flavor. Yay! Not too happy with the fries. Boo. I liked them better than In-N-Out's, but that doesn't mean much, since I hate their fries. I got the Cajun fries, yet they still tasted kinda bland. Definitely needed salt. And they weren't crispy. Free peanuts is a strange concept at a fast food burger joint but it works. If we could throw the shells on the floor and they served beer, I'd add another star. read more

I have been back on numerous occasions and my opinion has completely changed!! The fries are Always HOT and fluffy!! ALL WAYS - NEVER FAIL- EVER!! The staff is so friendly and go out of their way to make sure they ask how are you would like some water..and so on. The burgers have never disappointed ! They are de li cious . I can understand all of the self promotion on the walls. There is now offered milkshakes!!!! Just thinking about those fries ...makes me want to order!!!! read more

I know people usually compare 5 Guys to In-N-Out but I personally think that they're two totally different types of burger joints. In-N-Out has the feel of a 50's burger diner, serving their food in paper trays and has the benefit of the fun secret menu. Makes you feel like you're a local in the know :] 5 Guys, however, feels more like a backyard bbq where you can customize your burger or hot dog any way you like. I love the variety of toppings they have and not even a penny more for any of them :D And it's nice that they have 2 different size burgers to accommodate different size tummies! Although I don't like peanuts, my friends enjoy snacking on these complementary treats while they wait for their order to come out. My favorite burger combo is the Little Bacon Cheeseburger with lettuce, mayo, grilled mushrooms, BBQ sauce, jalapeno peppers & grilled onions. MMmmm! Oh and love the cajun fries! Perfectly seasoned & super crunchy! read more

Five Guys - Cajun Fries!! - Burgers Near Me - Elk Grove, California

When I think about it, I don't think I've ever been disappointed by a visit to Five Guys. I love the fact that you can build your own creation at no extra cost and all of the toppings are very good. I love that you can get hot sauce too. I know that's random, but when you add the hot sauce it makes the burger even better. I also really like the amount of fried they give you. A small feels like you could feed a family of 5 with it (exaggerating, but it really is a lot of fries). The soda is always superb and the staff is ALWAYS friendly. Restaurant is always clean as well. My favorite combinations is cheese burger with ketchup, mayo, grilled onions, grilled mushrooms, and hot sauce. Always a good choice and I never regret coming to Five Guys!! read more

The next best thing to In n Out. This place is starting to get a lot of hype and right now you either love it or your hate it. Me? I LOVE IT. Great service and speedy! I thought it was funny that the little burgers are what I would consider a normal burger. The servings are huge! 1/4 lb patty. Yes please. I love that I can have it all and for not extra cost. Yay! The grilled onions and mushroom are love. I think it would be better if they asked me how I want my meet cooked, but that's ok! Oh and free peanuts, haha weird. It's going to really suck for those with peanut allergy. HOWEVER!! I asked them about their use of peanut oil and it's only the fries they use it on. AND supposedly they use the super processed/filtered oil so all the allergens are taken out. I suggest if you are one with a peanut allergy to have someone order for you and eat outside. Cajun fries were interesting. Have more locations please!! read more

If I could give this restaurant a zero stars I would. The service was awful with inattentive staff that gave me the wrong order with a different flavored shake than I ordered, burnt fries, and a mediocre burger for around 40$. I would not recommend anyone come here. Waste of money and bad food. McDonalds is better than this place, and am very disappointed. read more

Seriously who voted this for the best burger and fries?!?! First of all, let me said about the services. Alot of people said that asian business had the bad services ever but hey! I just experience the bad services from the none asian. My friends and I walk in the store 20mins before it close and it is our first time. When we walk in we looking confuse but they dont explain how to order and what to recommend. I think they train like that. At least before the worker order our food he should said take out from this time or something so we should just leave them go home. They didnt let us know they gonna put in togo. They also shovel the fries into our bag. I know they want to go home but just let us know. Also, we order bacon cheese burger. After we order that. They said they ran out of bacon. We said lts okay. But they dont refund our money. It not like we gonna care for 80c each burger. We order 4 . At least he meant to give back our money. He never gives back our "bacon money". If he meant to give it back we just give them for tips. They need to retrain Second of all, the food. Is FIVE GUY franchise. Did they do the burger same or what. From the epic fail services, we take home the burger and fries home. Open the bag. Fries is everywhere. So messy! That is from when they shovel the fries into our bag. Please at least give us anpther bag. It look like tornatoes or something that happen in it. After the services we get, we hoping to have a good burger that got voted for best burger and fries. The burger itself is so plain. It is just standard typical burger. Nothing special. The meet is well done. When i bite into it the meet felt crumbles in my mouth, so dry. The fries is kinda burn too. Let me give u guys advices. Dont walk in the store when they starting to close. Food is not good. Bad services. I usually give business second chance but it is our first and last. Never return to FIVE GUY read more
