Food was absolutely great. Fries are the best in town. Restaurant was clean and service was friendly. Why only 4 stars and not 5? Price. Needs to come down 10-15%. Just way too high for what you get. read more

I haven't had Five Guys in a while so I bought my entire group some burgers through UberEats. When I got the order, the bag the burgers came in, came inside another bag (bag in a bag) which I thought was very thought out. Unfortunately, when I opened the actual bag, there was a fly inside. Not only that but, the burgers are slightly open! I'm more worried about contamination, safety, and cleanliness so I ended up throwing away all 4 burgers :( giving them the benefit of the doubt, it could have also been the delivery person, but since it came in a closed bag inside another closed bag, I'm not quite sure. read more

It's been a while since we got a burger from here. So I figure I would add a review. Restaurant was nice and quiet when we got in there. Took our order right away from friendly staff.But we got the disheartening new that their shake machine was down and that was one of the main reasons we went to grab a burger from there. So that's what got them the four out of five stars. They ended up giving us a lot more than a large fry.In our bag, as you'll see in the photo. Burgers were amazing as always.Definitely one of our top 3 burger spots in Gainesville. Wife also enjoyed a little tray full of peanuts that they always leave out for customers by the boxload., as you can see in the photos read more

The staff are always nice, food is great, couldn't ask for more. The restaurant is always clean and the music is not too loud.

Okay I like five guys, really do so I'm basing this review on taste only, not value. The $30 price tag for two small burgers (single patty), one small drink and one small fry; too much. No, I need to recalibrate my price point, especially recent post Covid years, but still something needs to be stellar to be that expensive, especially for lunch. My winner is still Steak 'n Shake for taste and value. That said, let me get onto some positives about five guys. First off the up to start up with the free peanut. It's a nice touch and laud to have a little appetizer or dessert depending on your taste. The other is the endless fries. Even though we got a small they usually load up the bag with second portion for free. So that increases the value a little bit considering we only had to order one fry for two people. Now for the burgers. Overall still a great burger, but I'm still get a little sticker shock when I come here. No worse than the other burger joints in t Hopdotty or Bugerfi. So if you don't mind a 15-20 for lunch, Five Guys is nothing if not consistent. For the price though, I'm gonna go with Steak 'n Shake from now on. read more

No comment needed. Probably the best burger, fries and milkshakes I've ever had to this day

It's been probably 10 years since I've been to a Five Guys. Back in college, I couldn't believe a burger and fries cost so much. Decided to try it again for lunch and yup they are still expensive but man, THAT BURGER WAS GOOD! It may not be $20+ good but definitely enjoyable. I got the cheeseburger and the bun was soft, the burger was juicy, and all the topping tasted FRESH! I liked the crispy outside and soft inside fries. It won't be another 10 years before I come back but I'll have to make sure I work a little overtime so I can afford these burgers. The staff was nice and the order didn't take long at all. I ate inside the restaurant and they have a pretty decent music playlist. read more

I had a dentist appointment in the middle of the day, and afterwards since no real work had actually been performed, I was able to eat immediately afterwards. Fortunately, Five Guys was right around the corner so that is where I went. Their menu hasn't changed, of course, but their prices have gone up since the pandemic hit. However, this is not really that bad, since the food that you get for the price is still at a reasonable level. I got myself a nice double with jalapenos, along with some fries. You really don't need to order a large fry at Five Guys, because they have a tendency to fill the fry packaging and then dump the rest of the scoop into the bag as well, so the helping size for a regular fry is always good. For the fast food chains, I consider the burgers you get at Five Guys to be towards the top of the heap in terms of quality and taste, though you do have to pay a bit more than the regular rate to get to that level. read more

We just had the best experience at this Five Guys! The entire crew worked like a well oiled machine. The food was excellent, hot, just as ordered. TJ, Javon, and Sesler were the 3 that helped us and filled our order. Kudos to you 3 gentlemen. Diamonds you all are! Then there was Ashley! So friendly! She was emptying garbage and sanitizing all the tables. In other words, the backbone that runs the behind the scenes. If you are the manager reading this, you need to reward this crew for such good customer service! Thank you again guys and Ashley! read more

Stopped by for a burger lunch and wow have the prices increased in the past year. I know inflation is a thing, and the prices are set by corporate, but I'm not sure who can afford a burger lunch for 2 for $30+ Folks are still friendly, but not sure of the value. And they have definitely dialed back on the generous fry serving (which would've made me feel better about the overall cost). read more

Classic! Consistent! Yummy! Love the small cheeseburger with bacon. The seasoned fries are tasty. Milkshake hits the spot!

You can never go wrong with 5 guys. The service was amazing like always. The milkshakes and burgers are the best. Fries also very good. And the restaurant just gives a homey feel. 10/10 read more

Simply put 5 guys delivers. Not only do they actually have their own delivery service but you can always count on them to deliver a delicious burger. Their menu is simple enough that my 1 and a half year old could understand how to order there. There is nothing flashy or fancy about it and I live them all the more for it. 5 guys promises 2 things; 1. Delicious burgers and 2. Delicious fries. And they always always always deliver on those 2 promises. I always keep to the true blue cheeseburger and throw in some of those spicy Cajun fries! My mouth is salivating just thinking about them! read more

Five Guys - Cheeseburger and Cajun fries in back - Burgers Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

This Five Guys is meant for people who only eat burgers once a year... the Cajun fries are JUST Cajun seasoned and the burger has grease like the cow was only drinking old oil when it was alive. On a whole I don't hate it but it wouldn't be my first recommendation read more

I LOVED the burger & fries. It was a nice , thick, and juicy burger with fresh toppings. The service was good as was the ambiance. The restrooms were clean! I just couldn't give it five stars because of the cost. It was over $20 for the cheeseburger, small fries, & a large drink. read more

5 GUYS! ........ well 2 guys and 3 girls at this location :) Places like 5 Guys are guilty pleasures. Everyone's guilty pleasure. I don't think anyone I know says hey! Let's go to 5 Guys for the 3rd time this week. Unless it's directly followed by Baby, would you schedule an appointment for me with the cardiologist next week. In all seriousness, 5 Guys is just a really good place to get- fresh burgers and fries. They might have other things there, but honestly who cares. It's all about the burgers and they are delicious! The good. I think it's kind of obvious. The burgers and fries. The toppings for said burgers and they have those fancy coke machines where you can choose from 798 different varieties of soda. A few too many for me. I myself am a Peach Fanta guy. I love that stuff. The bad and ugly are wrapped together on this one: The only thing I can see as a negative to 5 Guys is how much you'll have to pay the cardiologist for stents because you went there too much! Also, having to listen to vegetarians bemoan the killing of tasty beef. Yes, I have a few of those around me at times and I have a lot of patience with them. Overall I say go at your own risk, but just go at least once. Everyone should have one of their burgers one time in their life. - Yummy read more

Five Guys - Burgers Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

If you're looking for a good burger, you can't go wrong with this Five Guys location. The staff are friendly, and very helpful as you try to make choices from the menu. Our fave is the "little" cheeseburger, sometimes adding bacon - basically this "little" burger is bigger than many "big" ones - so unless you are very very hungry, I suggest you start there. A "little" burger and a "small" fries, plus the beverage of your choice should do you just fine. Of course, FG's claim to fame is the extensive list of toppings - you could basically tell them to hold the burger, hold the bun, and still make a meal of the toppings should you feel so inclined. I'm a traditionalist, so I stick to mayo, lettuce and tomato - but I see people around me taking what in Quebec would be called the "all dressed" approach. I must add that they are particularly good at doing burgers-sans-bun . . . When you ask for the bun to be held they check with you to see if it's preference or celiac, and though I'm not sure why they need to know this, we always answer truthfully the latter. You bus your own table here, which is made easy by the fact that everybody's meal is sent out in a brown paper bag - you unpack this yourself at the table. Now, a promise - I keep saying I'm going to try something else on the menu. I see sandwiches and hot dogs and a veggie burger - surely one of these days my hamburger craving will recede and I'll give one of these other options a try. When I do, I promise to return and update this review. In the meantime, chow down, friends, and Keep On Yelping! read more

Trying to do this Keto thing. I saw a post about a five guys burger with a lettuce bun. Hunti...... YESSSSSSS the staff was so helpful because I had not been there before but they know just what I wanted. Delicious!! read more

For $14 for a simple burger, fries and drink, I expect a lot more than what I got. Two beef patties that had the life grilled out so much, they were almost mummified. C'mon Five Guys, you can do better than this. I know you can! When you first came to town, your burgers were big and juicy, full of flavor. What happened? I like the fries, the peanuts, and the variety at the soda machine. Need to work on getting the burgers back the way they used to be. read more

Really great burgers, really great fries, and really great shakes. If you want a "healthier" option you can substitute a bun with a lettuce wrap and it's still delicious. There's plenty of seating and parking. Staff is always kind and work fast to get your food out quickly. Great burger joint! read more

The burgers are excellent. Fries very good. Love the peanuts. Friendly staff and very accomplished food allergies/

I would say that this is the same as any other Five Guys which I always enjoy even though they are a little on the pricey side, I will give this one five stars because: 1) They opened a block from where I work, which could be the death of me. Bam! That was the sound of my arteries slamming shut! 2) Five Guys, Fresh Market, Uppercrust Productions, Northwest Seafoods and Dorn's combine to make this a great shopping center! Also home to Flying Biscuit Cafe, Renaissance Printing and Paddiwhack Gallery, etc. They just opened today and it is quite crowded, so you may want to give it a little time. read more

Five Guys - Burgers Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

My favorite burger place, ever. I always get a little cheeseburger all the way and add grilled jalapeños. The cheeseburger overflows with goodies, but I take my time and appreciate every bite. The fries always are fresh and a small order is enough for two people. Speaking of fries, since they serve so much, here's a recipe to use them as leftovers. Keep them in the fridge in a zip lock bag until ready. Grill diced onions and pepper in butter, toss in a handful of diced fries, continue grilling until hot. Add salt and pepper, plus a little Tony Chachere Cajun seasoning. While still in the pan form a serving a put a couple slices of cheese on top until it starts to melt. Then move it to your plate. Finish with a couple of eggs, find over light. Between the burgr and this finishing touch, you'll be fat, but happy. read more

In general I think five guys makes really tasty hotdogs and burgers. I love the fact that you can order so many toppings. The grilled mushrooms and onions are a deal breaker for me. It's the main reason I choose five guys over other fast food places. Also, free peanuts are a great snack while waiting for your meal to come out. The fries are definitely another reason I am loyal to five guys. They always serve a generous amount which I can never seem to finish. Cajun fries is the way to go. I did think it took quite a while to cook my burger considering there were only 3 other people in the establishment. read more

This place is awesome. Whenever I want a delicious burger and fries I always go here. A little pricey but aren't all thing that are delicious? Definitely going to go back again and again. Once I got fries that were not cooked all the way and they quickly made me new ones without complaining or giving attitude! read more

The people who work here are always very nice. It's nice to be welcomed into a business. Their burgers are friggin awesome! The fries are great and they give you plenty of them. Unlike the clown, the king, and ginger, they make the fries fresh cut. All they need is some de-fib paddles on the wall! Edited 12DEC2015 I'm hoping that the reason that 5. Guys is a little more expensive than the McGeneric alternatives is that they pay their people a bit better. Businesses usually fail (in an overall customer experience) to excel because lack of understanding, or caring that loyalty is a three way street. If you mistreat your people (aka employees) like crap, it'll be reciprocated in various ways. The worst of which is reflected outside to the customers. The friendly greetings feel genuine at Five Guys whereas the clowns are creepy, almost as creepy as plastic headed kings. :) read more

I love me some .Five Guys, but DAMN, they are getting expensive! A small burger, small fries and small fountain drink will cost you nearly $13.00! Jump that up $3-4.00 if you order the regular size of everything. The shakes are on the smallish side AND over $5.00 now. They're good shakes, but they ain't THAT damned good! Steak & Shake makes a better, larger shake for around $3.50. Don't get me wrong, I like Five Guys, but I'd be surprised if they don't see a drop in sales over the high prices. They've had two price hikes this year alone! Sometimes, I feel like they're taking advantage of the loyalty of their customers. read more

My mom was telling me about her day and that she had Five Guys for lunch. She was going on and on about how good it was so I decided to have Five Guys for dinner and see for myself. I got a hamburger, banana milkshake, fries and a cup of peanuts. Everything was very good. Thank goodness I ate my food right then and there because if I would have driven the Five Guys hamburger home it would have been a sad soppy mess. The juiciness of the hamburger couldn't take the drive home; it can't, unless you like that sort of thing. read more

OK, you probably know about Five Guys, but here's the basics: * service is friendly, fun, and generally quite fast (I tend to go just prior to peak lunch rush though) * They have TWO sizes of burgers. The "regular" is a double. be careful! It's huge, and pricey. They also have a "mini" which is a regular patty. With all the free toppings, this and a small fries are WAY plenty. * Fries: you get more than you can eat. Even with a small, they fill the cup overflowing, and then throw an extra scoop in the bag. It's a lot! * Soft drinks are totally overpriced. * Free peanuts! Now go. read more

Oh. Em. Gee! Do they lace them there burgers with something? Holy yumminess! The bun is nice and warm, the jalepeno peppers are HOT, every ingredient is fresh, including the burger. And the cajun fries are really cajun HOT! And I like HOT taste, but it even had me in tears. I'll be back! read more

Five Guys - Burgers Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

I tried the In-N-Out in cali and wasn't that impressed. However, when I tried this 5 Guys location, I left with a very good impression. The unlimited choice of toppings is their trademark and it definitely made the difference in fast food burgers. Initially the simple menu (similar to In-N-Out) will have you wondering what makes this place so special. A hamburger, cheeseburger, bacon hamburger, and bacon cheeseburger are your choices. However, jalapenos, grilled onions, lettuce, pickles, tomatoes, grilled mushrooms, green peppers, relish are some of the topping choices you have. Plus they will put up where they got their fresh potato for the fries from on a dry erase board. Who knows if they ACUTALLY got fresh potatoes but their cajun seasoning on it is crazy addictive. Also to note, that this 5 guys location is in Gainesville, and I did not get this at another 5 guys in Orlando.....maybe its the college employees that don't care. It seemed like they put the fries carton in the bag, then just super scooped the fries in the bag. It was overflow of fries but enough to share around for the cheap friends that didn't buy fries. So at this location, I get the regular fries......and it usually ends up something more of an x-large in the bag. read more

Horrible location. 7 employees behind the counter/grill and all of them going as slow as possible except for the only girl she was the only one semi working. Told me it would be 6 minutes that turned into a 20 minute wait. The burger was cold and undercooked. Fries were too oily. Rude, young staff that were more interested in having fun with their friends than working and serving customers. Overpriced greasy food & bad customer service. read more

I always saw the billboards for Five Guys and was a little skeptical. I'm from California and so I compare every burger to In-n-Out's burgers (which I previously thought were the best I had ever had). Anyway after eating here a few times I'm convinced think Five Guys' burgers are the best in the world! Their meat and toppings are delicious. I love having their cheeseburger with grilled mushrooms, grilled onions and lettuce. I have friends who came to visit from Brazil and, even though it's been almost a year since their visit, they still keep talking about how good these burgers are. 5 stars all the way! read more

Gotta' give it up for Five Guys! Probably the finest burger chain in the East Coast (so long as Danny Meyer's Shake Shack has very limited locations and In-n-Out Burger remains exclusively West Coast). The burgers are of the "Smash-n-Scrape" variety on a white, seeded, sesame bun that is usually squished, and additionally steamed, in a foil package (making the lettuce wilted and the tomatoes warm so if you order it for take-out...ask for them on the side and skip the subsequent, crappy, one-star review complaining that your veggies were wilted when you got back to the office). These burger are well above average and other, lesser, fast food establishments certainly cannot compare. To state that the burgers at Hardees or Burger King are "just as good" is....misguided. It's not all paradise though; their fries, consistently soggy, are horrendously overrated. I always skip them (though the wife really enjoys them). However as far as the burger, proper, Five Guys is currently my favorite burger option in town. read more

Love these hamburgers. Tasty and juicy. Consistently good quality. Excellent Covid-19 prep and excellent service. Peanuts to go, sanitized and clean facility, plexiglass partitions when ordering, courteous employees. Best burger in Gainesville? Just might be. read more

I honestly love this place. The people who work here are super friendly and they're fast. My food was ready within 10 minutes. The restaurant is clean and they play good music. Nothing negative to say about this place! read more

Five Guys - "Little Bacon Double Cheese Burger" with Mushrooms, Grilled Onions, Lettuce, and Mayo with Fries. - Burgers Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

Comparing to the "big 3" chain burgers: There is no real comparison, Five Guys blows them out of the water. Comparing to In-N-Out: In-N-Out isn't quite as good, but it's cheaper. So Five Guys wins if you can afford it. Comparing to local/mom and pop burger places: Win against most, lose against some. It depends on the place. Comparing to places that don't serve boxes of self-serve peanuts: Why does Five Guys do this? It's such a catch-22. I really want the peanuts, but it's such a pain in the ass to eat them. Is it okay to throw the shells on the floor? Should I throw away each shell one by one? I guess they are improving because now they at least have the paper trays to put them in, but I still mill around awkwardly eating peanuts while waiting for my food. Comparing to places that serve food on trays instead of soggy paper bags: I mean, this is a loss on all fronts. It's not like this place is in a shopping mall food court, and they don't even have a drive thru, so why is a bag my only option? I can see having a bag for a to go order, but it's ridiculous that bagged food can still somehow ruin my clothes. I have only been to Five Guys in town once because they are everywhere around here and I try to reserve them for a quick and safe place when I'm out of town. I guess I have to give 4 stars because they have great burgers and I love trying different topping combinations every time, but they still piss me off. read more

Even though this is a chain/franchise restaurant, I really like it. The burgers are juicy and the toppings are always fresh. We always get friendly and speedy service. Prices are going up but so far they haven't completely deterred me. read more

Good burger, lots of fries but $14.00 for a bacon cheese burger and medium fries with only water to drink? Went to the 16th street location today, the music is way too loud, they have good food but unbelievably over priced. Cannot believe they will prosper, many competitors offer far more for lower prices. Piesanos, Ruby Tuesdays, Jason's Deli and Red Robin are better values for my dollar. We went in around 4 PM and were the only customers, three more couples came in while we were there. Very brightly lit and as mentioned music so loud it was difficult to talk, I will reiterate they have a good burger but their price structure is outrageous. I wish them well but will not be back. read more
