Excellent burger for a fast food chain. This was my second time eating there. First time I ordered a veggie burger and was totally unimpressed....NO KIDDING :) I wasn't aware that you get to choose as many toppings as you want. Tonight I ordered a simple cheeseburger with grilled onions mushrooms peppers pickles mayo and ketchup....YUM. Pricey for a fast food burger but damn it was good. Free all you can eat peanuts while you wait. Please don't make the same mistake I did by not using the paper tray to put shells into. I felt so bad that I was shedding on the floor. So sorry. read more

Have eaten here a few times. Usually, good, tasty burger. Last weekend I tried to have a quick lunch... as I approached the restaurant, the piped in music was loud heavy metal. Thought it would be quieter inside, but even louder. Could hardly hear the person to take my order . so, I left but not before I told him why I couldn't eat there. LOUD, HEAVY METAL IS NOT MUSIC TO EAT BY. read more

Kids Burger $6. Regular Fries $4.50!!!!! regular Drink $2.50. Plus tax $15 for kids meal. Way over priced for regular burger....

This is a tasty burger join with exceptional home cooked fries. A fun atmosphere to hang out with the family or friends.

Wayne, I really like your veggie frites and burgers! There is a great selection of toppings. I tried the black bean burger the other day, and I like that you have an alternative "veggie" selection to a veggie burger, because I don't like veggie burgers. Overall a great value :) read more

Been to a Five Guys in San Antonio, TX before. It was good, and i'm sure they'll do good business here in Encinitas. Simple Menu; Fair prices. Still as good as I remember the first time. read more

favorite burger joint by far. new to the area and stopped in. Employee by the name of Alejandro was genuinely polite and friendly. food was on point as usual and didn't seem very busy so no wait at all. highly recommend a burger with bacon , mushrooms and A-1 sauce read more

I am definitely surprised by all these bad reviews. I think this place is great and I haven't personally heard any complaints. The burgers are delicious and there are free peanuts. Who doesn't like free food? The soda machines are super cool too. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because it is a little pricey for a burger joint. read more

This is my 3rd time at Five Guys. As you walk in, the inside is pretty big. They have lots of tables and chairs. As I ordered, I got the little cheeseburger, with everything and small fries and water. This place is not cheap. I think I spent about $8 with tax. As you wait for your food to be cooked, you can eat peanuts at the table. The peanuts are free. As soon as I got my order, I took a bite of my burger and it was good and tasty. I will not say it was delicious or better the In n Out. I do love In n Out. The fries are decent, but I like it when the fries are crispier and not soft. Overall, it was decent. They also have lots of parking at the plaza. read more

The cashier was very nice and friendly. The food was good, but kinda expensive. All in all 8/10

I love Five Guys! Their burger is juicy and delicious! Didn't order French fries this time but our friends did and it was a humongous order! Fresh free peanuts - hubby loves! Staff were friendly! Lots of parking available. read more

Not sure why this place gets such a bad beat. We went in there the other night for burgers because we didn't feel like driving all the way to in-n-out. The burger was tasty, the condiments were fresh, and the fries were delicious. The employees were friendly and we got our food very promptly. I will be returning there in the future for sure. Maybe give it a second chance if you went when it first opened. read more

It is a bit pricey and I will stay with In n Out as my favorite, the fries are really the only reason I come here. The excess amount of Cajun fries in the bag is awesome, although recently this Five Guys' fries have been soggier than they used to be when they opened. It can get pretty crowded at lunchtime as they do not have enough seating for sure. read more

Just freaking delicious, great burger every time but their fries.......oh my gosh!!!!!! The guys at this location are always so nice and friendly. There always seems to be one guy in charge that keeps the energy up and he WILL make you smile. I love Five Guys everywhere but this is my favorite location. read more

Ordered online so we wouldn't have to wait. Went in after 15 min after order, and still had to wait 15 more minutes. Food was undercooked and not very good. Workers act like they couldn't care less read more

I gotta give them credit... they have one of the best burgers I've had. Fresh and tasty. Really no complaints. I particularly like that this location has one of those automatic coke machines that spits out dozens of different drinks.I was going to have water until I spied that machine, then I just had to order a drink too. Drinks aren't cheap and I hate to pay a couple bucks for something that costs the vendor a few cents, but I'm a sucker. read more

This place was decent, it reminded me a lot of In n Out, I would have given this place 3 stars but they have kosher hot dogs and they are great! The fries are as really good. read more

Love this new GREASY burger joint! Get the Cajun fries also!

My favorite burger around! They make it fresh but you don't have to wait forever. The fries are soooo yummy and fresh too! Highly recommend!

Great place to take the kids. Food is good for the price and the loud music drowns out the sound of young ones.

Not for me/my family. This is more of a mid-west food style. Sloppy (meat fell apart) and double patties - too much! You would think too much wouldn't be a problem, but it was just gross. Not all bad - fun/cool retro atmosphere, free peanuts and fries we're very good. I prefer California " better-burger" joints (the habit!! And of course in-n-out). read more

I never regret my choice here. I regret that I always forget about it and settle for less elsewhere! Fast. Friendly. Affordable. Great location and consistent. Can't ask for more!! read more

Wow, NOT HEALTHY but oh so good. I had the veggie sandwich- mushrooms were delicious! Piping hot which I love. Cajun fries were delicious. Definitely need to run a mile after eating here though. read more

Stopped here because I've been hearing such great things about Five Guys and never really had an opportunity to try them out. I had a cheeseburger with grilled onions, mushrooms, hot sauce, and mayo. We ordered a large fry to share the burger was great! Good size for the cost. And the fries were good too and sharing a large is the way to go. read more

I thought it was very tasty. I had a cheeseburger with grilled onions and mushrooms.I actually liked how mushy it all was. I didn't realize the burgers were double patties. We ordered online and that was very quick and efficient. Too bad I start Medifast on Monday. read more

Should have gone to Burger King. It's faster, cheaper, and WAY better. This is no comparison to In and Out. Seriously save your time and money. read more

Still trying to figure out what all the hype is about. Overpriced. My hands were coated in grease after eating. My main complaint is that it's not in n out. read more

Great food & customer service. Also their milkshakes are awesome! I recommend trying coffee with Oreo cookies.

Let me start off by saying I have been a huge in n out fan. For years I have been signing their praises as the best fast food available. That was until I tried five guys. First off, I love that they give you peanuts to snack on while you wait. It makes the time waiting go by so much quicker. Their soda machines look like its from the future! It has like 50 million options. If you pick Coke, it allows you to put al these different flavors in like vanilla, cherry, raspberry, etc etc. The burgers are amazing. There is so much more meat than in n out, even if you get the little buger. I would say maybe double the meat of in n out. The bread is also great. They bake it fresh everyday. You can get whatever you want on the burger too. The fries is where this place really stands out. They give you a HUGE portions and the fries are really really good. The cajun sauce is great but I like the original. Overall this place is the best fast food burger you can get. read more

first time i went to a five guys was in LA; was so dank. now i see theres one down the street and am pretty happy. Their burgers / fries are so good im surprised this isnt rated higher. read more

It was my 1st time there The food was delicious fair priced and the service was great !!! A+

$15 and some change for a regular cheeseburger, small fry, small drink ... ARE YOU KIDDING ME ... SERIOUSLY ?

Hamburgers & sodas have been slipping lately. Ate there today. Disappointed in burger meat. Is less costly meat being purchased? Also, the drink machine dispenses soda water with almost no flavor; tried Coca Cola and Lime - both tasteless. Five Guys used to be my favorite 3 months ago. Is Five Guys now cutting back on quality for better profits? read more

Used the app to place a pick up order for the first time and loved it. Food and service are always great, place is clean and the servers are always friendly. Definitely recommend this location. read more

This has to be one my favorite burgher places of all time. Order the small fries, because you can't finish anything bigger (trust me). This location has motivated chefs. Don't go on the day the little dude with the glasses is working, though, because his constant whistling, which you can hear piercing your eardrums despite the loud ambient music, is incredibly off-key and doesn't correspond to anything playing, apparently. read more

I really don't get this place. It's kind of like In'N'Out, only nowhere near as good, as if it had been started by midwestern dorks. (The kind who say "okley dokely", and give each other nuggies way too often.....) Prices are too high. (way higher than In'N'Out) Fries were ordinary. Atmosphere is drab. The toppings menu is oddly confusing, as if written by a third grader with no sense of logic or order Most importantly, the burgers are bland. Really nothing special at all. As if they were completely lacking in seasoning, such as salt or pepper. Tastes like a backyard burger made by someone who isn't very into cooking. Picture your neighbor Herb, over his Weber grill: -Wad beef into disk -Cook -Place on bun with standard toppings -Eat -Give wife a nuggie I liked the peanuts! And the coke machine is kinda cool, I guess. read more

They have the best cheese burgers so good it melts in your mouth. You can add whatever you want in the burger. There is also a soda machine that has so many drinks to choose from. This is one of my favorite places to eat a hamburger. read more

Stopped in last night for a "little" bacon burger and fries, which is my go to order of course. It took a few minutes to get our order, but it was cooked quickly and well. My only criticism is that the fries had just a bit too much seasoning on them and were a tad undercooked. Otherwise it was a good job 5 guys! read more

Yum! Yum!! Great burgers!! long lines,but worth it, if u have time. Not a fan of frys tho. sogg'ie

The burgers at Five Guys are second to none. So juicy, cooked in real time as your order is placed. You can customize your burger with a long list of available toppings. The grilled onions and grilled mushrooms are rarely available at other chains and are so delicious. The fries are to die for. Fresh potatoes arrive daily and Five Guys posts where that days' potatoes have arrived from! Even the soda machine is above average. Serve yourself with dozens of different choices including vitamin waters and other options not typically available at other chains. The malts are awesome, too! And free peanuts while the staff prepares your meal especially for you. Best of all, the service is friendly and professional. Five Guys employees really seem to enjoy what they do. Kudos to Five Guys! I'm hooked for life! read more
