The regular fries from Five guys at the price of 4.79 are not special in any way whatsoever. Overpriced for some mediocre under the average fries. Popeyes fries are still the best fries I've ever tasted. Now regarding the burger.. First of all, I'd like to state I love burgers. Cheddars, Steak n Shake, Flanagans, etc. I always get burgers. After today I have realize what a burger truly is. I don't think the burger I have tasted today has something special to it. I simple believe this is just what a normal. Regular. Simple burger tastes like. For the price of 9.89 I got a Bacon Cheeseburger from Five Guys. I absolutely thing this is overpriced. At most it should be 7 bucks, not 10. Bacon - nothing special Tomatoes - none Ketchup - bomb af Pickles - nothing special Mayo - nothing special Lettuce - nothing special But the meat I do believe is one of the most simple things I've tasted. It's so regular I could buy it at Walmart but for some reason, I do not know why... it feels like it had a great impact. After today I have realized the many burgers I've eaten throughout out my life are not what I thought they were. The five guys burger is not the best burger I've tasted in my life. It's the only burger. I have come to the conclusion that this burger didn't top the list but made a new one. When someone says the word "burger" I instantly think of the overpriced 9.89 bacon cheeseburger from Five Guys. read more

I will never eat a five guys burger again. After a couple of bites, I had to throw it away. Way too much gristle and bone chips. Nasty!

Im not sure what was worse, the service or the 25 dollar price tag, for a frozen Bubba burger?!!! Has this place lost it's mind?? Unreal read more

Five Guys - Experience - Burgers Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

I have been eating 5 Guys since the early 2000s in Virginia. I search for the best bacon cheeseburgers in every town I live in and 5 Guys always ties the next best. I have been to this Archer Road location twice and almost didn't go back after the first time. They didn't toast the bun and the bun both tore and then disintegrated. It was messy and gross and not worth eating but knowing 5 Guys for almost 25 years, I went back thinking they forgot the first time. Nope, and the second time was worse and I didn't finish the meal. Funny enough an employee came out and asked me how everything was and I told him my bun wasn't toasted. He said he would 'have his staff toast the bun MORE in the future.' I said, it's not toasted AT ALL. Broken, disintegrating, melting into the mayo and dripping all over my hand, I wrapped it up and threw it away. This location DOES NOT TOAST THEIR BUNS MAKING THE BURGER INEDIBLE. No thanks. read more

I was craving a good burger and fries, so ordered Five Guys delivery. I ordered a hamburger and fries with high expectations. Everyone raves about how Five Guys is the best burger joint. In my opinion, the fries are overrated. They're too salty, and soggy. Chick-fil-A fries top Five Guys fries because they're more crunchy. I want to give Five Guys the benefit of the doubt about the sogginess because I did order delivery and maybe the delivery took a while to get to me, but the fries were definitely over salted. The burger was good but not great. It didn't have enough flavor. It was better than a Big Mac but the higher price wasn't worth it. Overall, I wouldn't come back here. I had a very mediocre experience for what I paid for. Maybe it was an off day, or I went to the wrong franchise joint, but I've had better experiences at Steak n Shake. read more

Nope this is definitely not it. Overwhelming amount of salt and oil on the fries. Burger was loaded and dripping in grease. Burger wrapped in foil like a street vendor. Culvers, burger fi, even Wendy's next door is better. First and last time. read more

Put order in at 7:45 and didn't walk out with my food until 8:20. On a Sunday evening... Food is good though, the wait and organization of the staff is not. read more

Hamburgers are awesome and the best fries ever!! They give you plenty of fries when you order. Great tasting food. The only bad thing there is the PRICE! It has to be the most expensive hamburger joint around. read more

$17 for a burger with raw bacon... i love five guys and never had a bad experience but this location served me raw bacon. i gagged from the taste. ive had undercooked bacon before and it sucks but nah what they gave me was literally raw and tasted foul. didn't give us a lot of fries like five guys usually does... spent $65 on two burgers, fries and a grilled cheese through doordash come on read more

I was in Gainesville for the weekend to watch my little cousin's volleyball game and decided to make a food run during intermission. I was looking for something fast and was craving a burger. I used to love Five Guys, but this experience was pretty horrible. I made the mistake of getting the Cajun fries, which were tossed in something like a dry rub. I guess I was expecting the potatoes to be pre- seasoned before they were fried. I was heading back to the game, so I got my burger to go. I got back to the stadium 15 minutes later and the burger was a soggy mess. I would recommend eating your burger immediately as they don't travel well and sticking to the regular fries read more

Five Guys - a receipt on a table - Burgers Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

I have reviewed other 5 Guys locations in the past (well one other) and like most things every location is different. I have eaten at this 5 Guys a few times and it is pretty consistently good. I am of course going for the burger but the fries at this location seem to be better. They are less greasy and the oil tastes cleaner if that makes sense. The staff is always about the same. Fast, efficient, and make a really good burger. Which in the end what it's all about when my Red Meat low light comes on and I need a great burger fast! I know I will be eating here again, but Not too often - in moderation (disclaimer for the Dr ) read more

This place was OK. I've been to a couple of these franchises and they are all pretty much the same... it why I don't like chains. Too much of cookie cutter experience. But if you want a fast burger cooked to order and a TON of fries this is a good option above McDonalds. I liked the soda/beverage options that has the machine you can mix and match. It was fun to see where the potatoes came from (somewhere in you guessed it Idaho). I had a single, (the double is just too much meat for me). The fixings were good ketchup, mayo, lettuce and tomato. One of the reason I did not give this place a 4 star is the music!!! It was headbanger crap and very annoying. There were plenty of tables inside and out. The outside area faces Archer road so not much of a view. read more

Five Guys - Burgers Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

I'm very conflicted about this place. Let's start with the good. My burger was fantastic and cooked perfectly, the fries were food and they give you a ton. Now the bad. The parking lot is a PIA to get into especially in a truck. I had to make a 4 point turn just to turn in. Also the prices are high, I paid $18 for a burger fries and a drink. Next to the idiots who sit on the porch and just expect someone to come get them when their order is called then grow up. It's not my job to knock on the window and let you know they've been calling your number for 5 minutes. I'm trying to enjoy my lunch. Anyways it's very good every once and a while. Maybe get just a burger and no sides to cut cost. You decide read more

Five Guys - Burgers Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

Until yesterday I rated 5 Guys with 5 stars with good order accuracy as long as I remembered to tell them no mushrooms. Their prices tend to be high but the burgers were always really thick and tasted of good quality. Angus Beef I believe they advertise. Last night we went to 5 Guys and my burger was wrong which they gladly fixed but the patty was not the same - smaller and less tasty. The frosting on the cake was the "1 Little Fry" we ordered for $4.39. Usually there are a pile fries in the bags. I have attached a picture of the fries I got for that $4.39 - my last trip to 5 Guys. Every fry that we received in our bag is in this cup REALLY 5 Guys - what a rip off!!! Never ever again!!!! read more

Five Guys - Small Fry for $4.39 - SMH - Burgers Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

Average tasting burger, great fries but not $13 for a single patty, regular fries and drink. I forgot how large the fries are. I wish I would have read the other reviews before ordering mine. A regular fry is enough for 3 people. But all this for $13?! I could have went to a nice sit down restaurant and had a better burger for that money. read more

Five Guys - Single patty cheese burger. Not the greatest. - Burgers Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

Five Guys is awesome. Was excited to see them finally open in Gainesville. Ocala has had 2 locations for some time now. I try and stop by anytime I am down that way. But I work in G-ville, so now I have 1 locally. I have only visited the G-ville location once so far, but it wasn't the same as the Ocala locations. I realize it's brand new and the staff probably is still getting the kinks worked out. Food was great....no complaints. It was busy, but not slammed. Trash cans were full and the few empty tables were dirty. I also noticed a few incorrect orders....they forgot the A-1 on mine. But I will give them the benefit of the doubt and I will definitely return as I am a Five Guys fan and the food is awesome. For those that have never been, pay attention to the fry cook. I ordered a large fry the first time I ever visited a Five Guys.....didn't know about the extra scoop of fries they dump in the bag. Couldn't eat them all! MY BURGER: Bacon burger, all the way (lettuce, tomato, pickle, grilled onions, grilled mushrooms, green peppers, ketchup, mayo, mustard), ask for the peppers to be grilled, add raw onions and A-1 sauce. You won't be disappointed. read more

I like this place a lot. Every time I order veggie burger and fries. I really looooove their fries and the huge amount they serve. You can share your fries with almost 3 people or more (yup, it's that much). Price is okay, more in the higher side I would say. But, definitely recommend this place. PS: I took off one point because I found the price is a bit high. Though I enjoyed the fact I got 10% cash back from my BOA card on Five Guys. :-) read more

This is unlike any five guys I've ever had. If it were something similar to a McDonald's, I wouldn't care to say anything. However, this is five guys. They are a higher standard. My visit began with no greeting, and the cashier just staring blankly at me while I ordered. I also noticed the price of the fries increased, to which I said, "Dang!" The cashier responded with a sarcastic chuckle followed by, "What, you think this McDonald's?" I'm not very picky, so I looked past it. On the drive home, I picked at my fries, which were air filled sacs of potato skin rather than the potato-filled french fries that I'm used to from five guys. They were also way over-salted. I again tried to overlook this, hoping the Burger would come in clutch. I was let down. The bacon was hard, the Pattie's were dry and overdone, and it was just a crunchy, bland, unenjoyable experience. This is the second negative review I've ever left a company. As I said, I would never expect this from a Five Guys. Given the fact that a bacon burger, little fry, and a medium drink is $20, you usually get what you pay for at Five Guys. I didn't feel that my visit including the food was worth anywhere near that price. That's not to say that five guys as a whole is at all an issue. This location, however, is not up to standard with the rest. Hopefully it's noticed and something changes. Luckily, the other Five Guys in town is phenomenal. read more

Five Guys - a half eaten piece of pizza on a piece of tin foil - Burgers Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

FIVE GUYS!! Two things I consistently notice about this place: there's always someone here walking around mumbling "Well, I'VE never eaten here, but everyone I know loves it," and no matter how empty it is when I arrive, inevitably twenty more people come through before I leave. Burgers, as usual, are delicious. I have not experienced Dee B's issue with a burger only cooked to medium (and believe me, I've looked). If anything, the burgers I get would make excellent hockey pucks. But that's not what makes me happy here. No, I'm excited because ... ... the fries are good. Seriously! All three of my prior 5 Guys experiences had consistently nasty fries (Fayetteville, NC, Tampa, Lakeland). The ones here are fabu! I do wish they were open a little later, but like Chick-Fil-A's "Closed Sunday" policy, I've just had to learn to get past it. :P read more

So basically its a fast food place that mostly just does burgers. And the shakes are really good too. (Im kinda of shake connoisseur. Currently on my "2017 shake tour") but really for the same money you will spend at the M place or the place where you get it "your way" - you will get a fresh REAL Beef juicy greasy delight. Why. Why why. Would anyone not come here instead? Oh yeah. Probably people like me who dont have one in their neighborhood. Sad. But if you live near one then duh. Oh yeah and they have boxed of peanuts everywhere so if youre deathly allergic - maybe dont go. Maybe get delivery;) read more

Five Guys - Greasy delicious fat cheeseburgers. Yummm - Burgers Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

I have wanted to try this place for awhile, since it took over the corner of a newly renovated strip mall off Archer Road. I had heard that they had great burgers, fresh ingredients, quick service. We arrived around 6:00 on a friday. Place was moderately busy. James and I both ordered a Hamburger (4.89$) Mine was all the way (ketchup, mayo, mustard, tomato, lettuce, pickles, Grilled onions, and grilled mushrooms) He got the same except no mayo (he is smooth enough without it!) There are other toppings you can add like: jalapeno peppers, green peppers, A1 steak sauce, BBQ sauce, and Hot sauce. Next time I might go for the Jalapenos. We also got an order of regular fries(2.69$), which also come cajuned, and two regular drinks (1.89$ x 2) The whole order was 18 bucks and change. Sat down , and waited to hear our number, grabbed ketchup and malt vinegar for the fries. I love malt vinegar on fries, reminds me of the "boardwalk fries" that used to be in the Oaks Mall where Cinnabon is now. Order is called and we get our food. Open the burger diapers up and they are gigantic! Two patties? Didnt know that, or didnt remember. The meat patties were a little too well done for me,, but still really good. Buns were solid, tomatoes and lettuce were fresh. Pickles were plentiful. Next time I would not get the ketchup and mustard because that over powered the mushrooms and onions. Fries were crispy and salty a bit on the overdone side but still tasty, especially vinegared. Overall a good messy satisfying burger. I will absolutely come here again, get a "little hamburger" , because the big girl one was way too much food! read more

Sometimes you just feel like a nice good juicy burger. What I like about 5 guys is the number of items I can get on my burger. Ask for grilled onions, you get grilled onions, asked for grilled jalapeno's you get jalapenos. No 'we don't do that' here. Anyone who knows 5 guys knows you only need to order one small fry and that can be shared by 2 or even 3 people. I like the cajun fries the best. Only complaint is they need more seating at this location. When it's busy it's very crowded. read more

Service- very rapidly. And quick.. But we went when they were not busy... Food- burger was excellent, good amount quantity of friess Atmosphere- eh it was okay... They can theme it a bit more... Everything was compact. Overall it was a good burger.. Alot topping selections :-). Beats backyard burger anyday! read more

This place makes more from their fries and drinks than burgers! The prices are ridiculous for fries and drinks ($2.50 for a small). The fries were over salted and over cooked. The burgers are good, and I would recommend just getting a burger or sandwich. I had a small sandwich, small fry and small drink and it came to $10! WTF?! Seriously? Not worth it and only the sandwich was good. Also, after visiting a few 5 Guys, the whole shtick of yelling out orders and yelling out other things gets old and silly. read more

We had never experienced a Five Guys until they opened up the Gainesville location. We had passed the signs on the highway and heard from numerous friends across the country about their superiority to In-N-Out, so when they opened up, we were there. Gotta say, we weren't disappointed. The burgers are what burgers should be. The fries are fantastic (albeit a bit over-salted at times) and work really well with their burgers. We don't really get the comparison to In-N-Out; they're definitely more comparable to Backyard Burger price wise. What isn't all that great is that their "vegetarian" is just everything but the meat. How can a business in this day and age not have a veggie patty for such a big part of the population? Especially in a town like Gainesville, where it definitely pays to be veg-friendly. While we were satisfied, our veggie friends were left wanting. Oh and be prepared to wait. Every time we drive by there is a huuuuuuuuge line. Guess that has to say something, right? read more

Being a vegetarian I thought I would comment on John G.'s review. While it is true, for vegetarians five guys is not going to be a restaurant with many options (not that is is for the carnivores out there either...). But if you do get dragged there with your meat eating friends you are not totally out of luck either. They grill/cook all their veges on a separate grill from the burgers and for about $2.5 you can get a vege sandwich, which is surprisingly good. A lot of this probably had to do with the grilled mushrooms and grilled onions which I am a major sucker for, but also as John said the buns they have there are remarkably good. If you do decide to go with the vege sandwich I would recommend getting cheese on it otherwise there will be nothing to hold all the veges you put on it actually on the bun. Now if you have ever wanted to visit New York but never had the chance to you should stop by Five Guys for a good taste of if. There is no parking, long lines, high prices, minimal seating and until you leave you will be uncomfortably close to everyone around you. Yet just like NY some people swear by it. read more

I know usually people talk about 5 guys like it's heaven on a bun and the burgers are good but honestly the food costs more than a restaurant burger and has double the calories of most and even though I keep coming back I can't understand why the burgers are always soggy, if I gets burger to go by the time I get home it's plan mush. The staff at this store are always friendly and the manager makes it a point to greet customers. read more

Delicious burgers. Good fries, too. Employees are so friendly and funny. Agreed, though, that the parking lot is just a disaster area. read more

This is one of the best and the liveliest burger spots in Gainesville - they make excellent burgers. The sandwiches are highly customizable too. After you choose your burger, you can fill it up with any veggies you want, and you can dress it up with any sauce. The best thing about this place (at least for me) though is the fries. I for one like to munch on a lot of fries after having a sandwich and these guys give out a huge quantity of them. They also have cajun fries if you want to go for something spicier. read more

The burgers are good, but the food is expensive and very greasy. Being that the burgers are cooked on a griddle, and not an open flamed grille, the food burger patty really soaks up the grease. The fires are good, you can share a fry with 2 or 3 people. Not much else to say about a burger joint. I do recommend it if you want a good burger. read more

Worst rudest staff maybe of any place I have been to, but food was good so If I wanted to be at my job less than these people life would suck. read more

Originally from Washington DC I've always been a fan of Five Guys so was super excited when this place first opened. The burgers are delicious with the toppings always put on with special care, and the fries are fresh cut everything is fresh and made to order. I get a small burger and small fry (Cajun style of course!) and it is always more than enough food. The staff here is always attentive and friendly, with the same style you would get at any of the original Five Guys in DC. Only thing I'd change is the soda machine. When they first opened I swear their machine made the best tasting Coke I've ever had. That sounds odd because well it's Coke, right? How different could it be? But recently they installed one of those soda machines with the hundreds of different flavors, and that regular old Coke just does not taste as good :( Wish they could go back to that old machine. read more

I think they have the best fries. It's because they make them in house. I always get the little cheeseburger and it's always cooked great. The way it comes in a greasy brown paper bag is part of the experience and I love it. read more

Delicious as always and great service. Burger and fries were made perfectly. Cashier was friendly and very competent. Got our food quickly and an employee was cleaning the dining room and offering to get people drinks and clear trash. read more

Huge burgers, with every possible condiment available without extra charge. If you haven't eaten here before, and you're not mega hungry, we suggest starting with the smaller burger which is larger than most establishment's bigger burger (if you get my drift). Fries are great - fresh, and home cut, and also served in generous portions. I've cut this place back one star however, because of the music - so loud that conversation was not possible, which is not really what I expect in a small, enclosed, semi-fast-food place. read more

Nothing fancy, just a good burger and fries for a good price. Restaurant is clean and the staff is courteous.

Great food but pricy. Single patty bacon burger, drink, fries, and a hotdog was $18.61

Seriously this place is awesome!! I mean, the atmosphere is always rockin, loud classic rock with loud workers yelling and talking to each other... its great. And their food, I mean come on! Their hotdogs are delicious... grilled beef hotdogs cut down the middle... try it with sauteed onions its delicious! they also have a large variety of toppings for the burgers, I tried the burger with a-1 sauce today and it was delicious!! the fries are delicious, made with the skins still on and seasoned very well!! Worth a visit... and if you have time, get some chik-fil-a sauce from down the street and use it for dipping!!!! :) read more

I have been to many Five Guys in my life, but I have never received such poor service as I did at this location. I went to order a few cheeseburgers for some coworkers, and was met with such contempt for everything I asked about/ordered. The food is good and I always enjoy my meal when I visit, but the customer service here was so abysmal that I will never return to this particular location. I do enjoy Five Guys and their customizable burgers and hotdogs, but it's not worth feeling like you're being mocked when you go to place an order. read more
