This place claims "best burger" Pffft! My mom and I went here because she has had people tell her "it's the best their burgers are great"...so we decided to give it a try. We both ordered the little cheeseburger and shared an order of fries. My mom ordered hers with mayo, onions, lettuce and pickles...not too difficult? Well they didn't get the order right, she ended up with bacon and ketchup, so I went with receipt in hand to exchange it for her. The guy brings it over and they didn't get it right for the second time! Keep in the restaurant was half capacity at best with 6-7 employees working and no line. My mom was over having to correct them again so we ate. Not at all what we were expecting...I know we ordered the "little cheeseburgers" but we weren't expecting them to be smaller than the ones they serve at McDonalds! And to make it even worse was that they cost $4 each! For something that cost $4 it should not have been that small...i'm curious at what the $5 regular one looks like. That's crazy. My bun was hard, and my mom didn't even get what she wanted...and it is by far one of the worst places I've ever eaten...and to make matters and our experience even worse....the dipshit sitting next to us telling, or rather raving to his family "I CAN'T WAIT FOR YOU GUYS TO GET YOUR BURGERS! THEY SERIOUSLY HAVE THE BEST BURGERS I'VE EVER HAD!" Bottom Line: If someone is claiming that the burgers at Five GUys is the "best burger they've ever had"...then they have obviously never eaten a burger. read more

Too Expensive I like Five Guys. Its a good burger joint. Hot juicy burgers, and with pretty decent fries. However, I have had ranch beef and must compare the two (when I say ranch beef I mean beef straight from the ranch and is butchered locally). I used to get 1/2 a cow that comes flash frozen. OMG. So juicy. So perfectly fresh. It actually melts-in-your-mouth. Nothing on earth like ranch beef. Now THAT makes an amaaaaazing burger. I really think if someone in town actually decided to grind fresh everyday they would put all other burger places out of business. Still haven't figured out why this hasn't happened. Hey, Nebraska is like, right there. Lots of pretty cows all yummy to eat. Oh well, I will dream. I think Wendy's has a great burger in comparison (waiting for someone to throw a tomato my way). There are two things to consider: 1. All Wendy's are not created equal and the ones in Fort Collins are above-par in comparison to others around the country. And 2. IF you factor in price - and since I'm not a millionaire I have to (sorry single foodie men: single, great cook, WAAAAAY attractive - but, alas, poor as a churchmouse), Wendy's is just as good as Five Guys. Geesh, those burgers are expensive! It all depends on what you want. Comraderie with other diners at Five Guys and a pretty big price for just a burger, or anonymity and cheap eats as you buzz through the Wendy's drive-through sporting a messy pony tail.... Going with the pony tail tonight.... read more

Five Guys, in my not-so-humble opinion, has provided more competition for In-N-Out Burger than any other chain (caveat; I've never had WhatABurger, don't @ me). The burgers are very nicely done (and the bun is better), bacon is available, and while I don't like their fries as much, there are always a lot of them. So why is a dippy "Elite" Yelper only parceling out 3 stars? Easy - it's the price point. I consider burgers to be the average American food, more iconic than pizza. They are the sandwich of the working class. My burger of choice runs $10 at 5 Guys - that's 2 bucks per guy. I can get (3) burgers at In-N- Out for that, or (1) double-double and a smoothie to help convince my body that I'm not totally declaring war against it. Five Guys, bend an ear (or ten) and please listen - If you can do these burgers for 20% less, do it. I visited tonight and the place was not at all busy. I worry for you. I want you to be slammed, and I want for you to provide stiff competition for In-N-Out once they make it to Fort Collins. Competition lifts all burgers. Thus endeth the sermon. read more

Just moved to Ft Collins and was suprised to have a Five Guys nearby. We accidently ordered at the other location and they accomodated us extremely well. We ordered 2 burgers 2 fries and it came out instantly and FRESH! Fries were the shizzle NOT at all greasy. Crisp with great texture. Burgers were solid but an artisan bun would have put it over the top. This was also at closing time which made it much more impressive. read more

Good, fresh cooked, BIG burgers! The fresh cut fries are great also...try sprinkling some malt vinegar on then dipping them in ketchup...yum!! One large fry will feed 2-3 people. They serve Coke products with several diet flavors. Cons: The prices are a bit high and I always have to wait for a table; otherwise I would have rated them 5 stars. read more

A pretty standard burger joint. Conveniently placed near a lot of offices in the Front Range Village. Great spot to grab a quick bite before returning to work. Fresh condiments and toppings and a beast of a burger. read more

Stopped by today with the family. Three kids, two adults drinking water and ordering a burger and fries for $63. The food was fresh and tasty but expensive and three of the five burgers were not made as ordered. The restraint was clean and the staff was friendly read more

had lunch at my (second) favorite burger place today!!!! sorry five guys, but in & out wins by a hair.

I will give this place one star based solely on the fries were hot and decent (not great). The burger was horrible. It was completely bland and tasteless. The sauce was barely on there so it was completely dry as well. The bun smelled like a dirty sponge and I couldn't even eat it. I'll never eat here again. read more

This was a real disappointment. Bun so mushy it fell apart. Grilled mushrooms were really slightly heated canned mushrooms - not grilled at all. Grilled onions were small chunks of onions that looked and tasted like they were steamed. Only the tomato and lettuce tasted good, but that is not what I am satisfied with when I go out for burgers - know what I mean? Fries in a large cup for $6 - never again. On top of their menu is burger. Four or so items lower is little burger. I wanted a burger, so I ordered a burger. When our order came up, it had a bag to eat in with double burgers - double meat patties. Tossed one patty. After taking a few bites of the sandwich, I only ate the lettuce and tomato and threw the rest away. To the managers credit, he did give us a refund for the difference between the single and double burger. He said people are often confused. So why don't they change the menu board? Would it be so difficult to call it a double burger and a single burger? C'mon. The employees were great. The food was awful. I won't be back. read more

To me the fries are the best part about this place, and they give you more than you could possibly eat. They are falling all over your tray and out of the bag. I love that part! The burger is ok. It reminded me of the fried burgers my mom used to make in the skillet when I was a kid. I would go back when I get a hankering for those fries. James. read more

Can't go wrong with five guys for lunch. I got addicted to this place living out in Virginia. Was hoping they wouldn't have these out here when we moved to Fort Collins. Guess I'll just have to exercise more! Please don't be one of those guys that thinks you have some kind of secret burger code with he workers (you know who you are). Just order a cheeseburger with your favorite condiments and move on with life. read more

Wow, terrible hamburgers. There dry they lack taste and every time I eat there I get a stomach ache. I've had a better burger at Carls jr. And that's not saying much. I won't eat there again. I'd rather go hungry. read more

The burger I had tasted OK (although it was way overpriced for what I got), although I just ran across the Yahoo review of burgers to avoid and 5 Guys made the list. Their regular cheeseburger has 840 calories and a whopping 55 g fat!!! If you ask me, I have no idea how they can claim to serve "quality" food when the nutritional value is worse than McDonalds which cost about a third of the price. read more

Very good burgers and fries. I have been here a lot and always enjoy the quick service and gobs of fresh cut fries. I have been to this site and the one in boulder both are very good. Please keep up the great work! read more

This has got to be the worse burger I have ever eaten. The preparation was horrific. Two patties one was in pieces?? Even the pickles and tomatoes tastes terrible. I was probably because of the pound of salt they put on the french fries. The only good part of my meal were the two chocolate shakes. I order through door dash and wasted $29. Never ever buy their food at all. Disgusting. read more

Having been to Five Guys all over the country, I want to compliment the staff at this particular Five Guys for their willingness to be helpful and to make adjustments, immediately, with a smile and with a positive attitude. I wanted my fries replaced and with out question it was done to my satisfaction. These guys lead the way in true customer service. The Burgers are the standard, wonderful. tasty, made just the way you want it burgers that I have come to know at Five Guys. All the reviews are right! They make a fine burger! read more

Now I know why it's called Five Guys - because they charge you as much as it costs to feed five guys when ordering for just one. I added bacon and cheese upgrades, regular fries, and a drink. My total came out to 15 dollars...15 dollars! They hype up the whole fresh potato thing similar to places like In-N-Out, but thickly cut, non-double-fried fries quickly go flaccid and really lack in crispy deliciousness. The burger was as cookiecutter as it gets. At least they have peanuts. read more

Great burgers, and the fries are so addictive. They give you a TON of fries - two people can easily share one order. One of the best burgers I've had in Fort Collins! read more

Best burger joint in town-I don't know why this place doesn't have higher ratings. Everything is made fresh, the burgers are juicy, and the fries are hot and plentiful. Five Guys has a fun atmosphere too, the staff are always willing to chat and are genuinely happy to see you. Even the vegan and vegetarian options are delicious. read more

I was really torn between giving Five Guy's 2 or 3 stars. Let's start with the food: The fries were amazing, the last couple of times a went there were just to share a bag fries with my kids. The burgers? Incredibly overrated. The price? I would give them ZERO stars if I could on price. Service was worth 4 stars and the restaurant itself was worth 3 stars. Just so you know where I'm coming from, I grew up in Orange County Ca., eating double doubles from In-N-Out. The pinnacle of a great burger. And while the fries are better than In-N-Outs, the burgers don't even come close. What really drags down Five guy's rating are the prices. The first time I went in there with my wife and two kids, we ordered 4 little cheeseburgers with two fries and the bill came to $35! That same order at In-N-Out for a far superior burger is under 15 bucks! Don't get me wrong, the burgers aren't what I would call bad and they do give you lots of toppings choices. No doubt, they still beat the hell out of McDonalds, Burger King, etc., which to me are practically in-eatable. They should also consider putting a stop to wrapping the burgers in foil. It makes the bun soggy and doughy. I will continue to go there to get their cajun fries which are the bomb, but not for the burgers. My Colorado search for a burger that meets the high standards set by In-N-Out continues..... read more

It's a nice place and the food is good though it is very expensive ($8 for a bacon cheeseburger that doesn't include fries and a drink) you can easily drop $20 on a meal that should be $8. read more

Burgers looked huge but they were bland no flavor whatsoever! Fries were super greasy and extra salty. Paid $32 and not worth the food.

Bomb AF. Burgers are amazing, so are their fires. They basically give you 2+ large fries for just ordering one! Get the canjun fries! If you don't like greasy food, stay far away from here. If you love a good fat burger that will fill you up, enter here haha. read more

Sub-par all around. I had the cheese dog with some of the toppings and it was unremarkable and definitely worse than hot dogs I've gotten from street vendors. The fries are too mushy. Only reason this place gets two stars from me is the wide range of toppings to choose from. I've been to some great burger joints and I wouldn't touch these burgers with a stick just based on how they look. (i.e. they don't even look like they'd be good.) read more

Love the food here but I forget that it's the prices of a sit down- waiter style establishment. $36 for 2 burgers, one large fry and 2 drinks?? read more

They proclaim how awesome they are all over their walls but notably the last compliment received publicly was 2012 and for good reason. The restaurant was dirty. No one was bussing tables and wiping down used tables. It was cold in the restaurant likely because of the walls of glass, pretty to see outside but necessary to turn on the heat. The fries were expensive and had a strong unpleasant after taste. The burger I ordered was without cheese and wrapped in lettuce, I ordered grilled onions and mushrooms on it...it was tasty but kinda oiley. I was hoping for a shake but they only serve soda. There are several competitors in town that serve a better burger, fries and shake, with better atmosphere. read more

12 bucks for a tasteless cheeseburger and limp soggy fries. The place is loud, the service slow and obnoxious. I'm not really inclined to give them more than one star. read more

Just pretty blah. Definitely overpriced-I've had better at Burger King. The fries were pretty good, but the burger just had no flavor, and the cheese wasn't even melted. Not impressed. read more

A solid meh. Burger was good...nothing great. It was better without the bun they use. The fries were good and hot, but my husband said he felt like he drank the water from the dead sea...salty. Good to try, but much better options nearby. Also, the music was terrible. Come on 5 guys...nobody likes Huey Lewis and the News. read more

I am visiting from Orange County, CA and a few of these burger places have popped up there but I have yet to try them. This location was a short walk from where I'm staying so I thought I'd give it a try. While it is a good burger, it's not "the best" IMHO. Not to sound like a homer, but In N Out's burger is far better and inexpensive. I do like 5 guys' french fries better than In N Out's. I would say 5 Guys is more akin to the Habit, Fatburger, or Fudrucker's. 5 Guys is worth a try! It's not bad. read more

Probably the best fast food burger I ever had. Please don't compare this to the local places in Fort Collins; this is a chain, and shouldn't be compared to them. Regardless, the burgers are juicy, delicious, and when you order them "all the way," just dripping with sloppy goodness. Pretty cool that you can get grilled veggies on your burger, too. The fries are fresh cut and cooked just right for me. I like ordering them "cajun style." Another plus? Free peanuts! The only negative about Five Guys is that it's expensive for a fast food joint, but the quality justifies it read more

I rolled into this place minutes before they closed and they went out of their way to make my experience a great one. And of course the burger was juicy and tasty as ever. As a fellow small business owner I appreciate the great customer service even with minutes left on the clock. Brad up front was a star as was the whole team! read more

Absolute Rip Off. Unfortunately, I cannot give less than a one star review, which is generous for this "restaurant". This was my first visit to 5 Guys. Borderline stale bread, barely ripe tomatoes (still green in the center and whitish pale pink flesh, soggy lettuce, dry meat. In an effort to expedite the order, the meat was pressed and squeezed with impressive motivation by the cook. Every bit of moisture was squeezed and pressed out of the meat. As for the fries, a simple "large drink" cup was filled with overtly salty French fries bits and ends. So I guess I had to contend with the bottom of the pan. When I brought up the disappointing quantity of fries for the price. Apparently there is supposed to be a big "top off" on top of it. Well, the big "top off" was about 5 to 7 wrinkled poor excuse for fries. They might want to reevaluate their definition of "big top off". To be fair, this is fast food. Let's remember that we are talking Burgers and French Fries, not necessarily "Gastronomy". Let's no get lost in marketing schemes or publicity jingles. Burgers and fries are fast food. It'd be like saying "ultra high performance clunker", no matter what superlative you use, it's still a clunker. This is fast food. Nothing wrong with it being fast food. Fast food has its place, and my expectations when I walked in there was that I was walking in a burger joint. The expectations were no very high, and were not met. What compounded the problem was the answer given by Bonnie the "Manager" when I brought up the disappointing amount of fries for the price. At that time, i didn't even have a chance to look at the burger yet. I was told: "It Is what it is, there is nothing I can do about it". Not what I call "keeping the lines of communication open". So bringing up the dismal state of the burger would not have made that big of a difference. Sad to say that, I'm almost convinced a microwaveable burger would have had better texture and taste. On a positive note, the restaurant was clean, ant the staff, other than Bonnie, was nice and helpful. read more

Filthy. The joint is disgusting. McDonalds keeps their restaurants way cleaner then this place does. We had looked forward to trying this famous chain, but overall, were disappointed with how greasy the food was and how dirty the place was! read more

Yeah, so it's another burger place but it beats most of the others and you have to admit the staff is always friendly. Avoid it at all costs on the weekends or lunch time, well that is if you have any place to be, because it's busy! read more

I've been here MANY times before but this is my first review. I had the best cheeseburger ever from them today. Their fries were perfectly seasoned and tasty, as always, but the burger is why they're getting a review today. I've never been displeased with this location but sometimes the burger falls apart or is greasy, etc, but this time it was PERFECT! (Should've taken a picture.) definitely recommend this location for fast, tasty, fresh food. read more

It was alright, the actual burger was decent, although the bun was quite soggy, which was pretty unpleasant. The fries were really good, hot, and salty. There was also a significant wait to receive food, which was a bit odd considering how simple the order was. read more

These guys are OK they are a Close second for me for a burger "on the quick" I'm not a fan of 2 little burgers as opposed to 1 big burger. It's just a bit messy. And choosing your toppings is a great option for some. But I'm a keep it simple guy. They have very good Fries which they pride themselves on. If a friend wants to go. I won't say no. It's just not my default burger spot. Good service. And good dollar to quantity/quality. read more

Ate at the one near the Super Target out on Harmony. I'll do my standard list of positives and negatives. Negatives ------------- -Incredibly loud music playing. -Employees yelling to each other and yelling, "one in the door", "two in the door". Annoying to customers.... you could see the expressions on people's faces as they were eating. It may be amusing to the employess, but seriously, nobody eating likes to hear that. - Regular fries, not the Cajun ones, were bland. - Paid over $17 for two people. - Burgers were just okay. Not super great. You can get a good burger at Red Robbin that tastes better. Heck, even Wendy's tastes better or the same. I'm not trying to be mean here, but for the price, I expected something to wow me and it didn't. I will not return here for this price and so-so caliber of food. Positives ------------ -Employees had good attitude. -Place was clean -Nice selection of drinks -Items on burger were of fresh quality -Bun was fresh -Meat was good thickness, just no flavor. Nobody had colds either as we both agreed that the burger meat seemed bland. Sometimes when you have a cold, you can't taste things as well. Conclusion --------------- Will we return? No. Too pricey for a burger that is no better than Wendys. read more
