five guys has delicious fries. they are perfectly seasoned and always fresh. we took daniel b.'s advice, so we always dump them out onto the bag as soon as we get them. this keeps them all very crispy. they have malt vinegar or ketchup, but the fries are good enough to eat plain. mmmm...five guys burgers. the regular burger is actually two small patties on one bun. juicy and well done like the website says. my favorite is the bacon cheeseburger. there is plenty of bacon and it is always cooked to just the right amount of crispiness. you have a choice of over a dozen toppings including my favorite, grilled onions. the store itself is bright. i really like the white and red tiles on the walls. the store is clean, and the shells from the free peanuts are swept up frequently. the staff work with military precision, and seem to really enjoy working there. they are always friendly. even when the store is busy, you will be eating fresh burgers and fries in less than ten minutes. i doubt you can find better burgers and fries for the price. read more

I went to this establishment to get a bacon burger with 2 patties, just to get everything but the 2 patties. Service was fine other than them not adding the patties read more

The Glenmont location is just as good as the East Greenbush location. Maybe it is a little better, because the floorplan is a little less confined. Doesn't change the fact that the burgers and fries here are incredible. I think about them an awful lot. One of the reasons they are so haunting is that they are intensely beefy. And I know that should be obvious. But so much meat is not beefy these days. My burger at Red Robin wasn't. That beefy goodness has a way of lingering with you. In the very nicest way. I have learned two things since I started going to Five Guys. 1) They have a smaller burger. A single. While it is tasty (and lower calorie) it does not have quite the same perfect proportions as the standard burger... but it is a decent option if you just want a light repast... or for kids. Although, I might be tempted just to get the regular burger and just eat half of it instead. 2) If you get a large order of fries... dump them out on the brown bag... RIGHT AWAY! Those wonderful crisp tender fries turn to mush in the styrofoam cups. The trapped heat steams the suckers down on the bottom, and that is just so sad. Sure they get cold faster when exposed to the elements. Just better eat 'em fast, or share 'em with a worthy friend. I would love to eat here every day. But I hate shopping for new pants. And I refuse to wear an elastic waistband. read more

Always yummy! They do lettuce wraps and change gloves for me as I have Celiac and need to be gluten-free. read more

I'm not fan of fast-food but sometimes I am. Five Guys resides in the upper echelons of fast-food and this particular outpost is a among the best. We ordered the typical fare and a side of fries; helped ourselves to several servings of peanuts; and, were pleasantly served by an efficient staff. And, the bathroom was clean. What else can a hungry passerby want? read more

Five stars for this made-to-order burger joint. I got the little cheeseburger with lettuce tomatoes and onions and a small fry. The small fry could feed three people. Made with fresh potatoes cut daily. Best fries around! Great place if you're looking to cheat on your diet! The place is super clean and staff is very friendly. read more

I don't get the enthusiasm for this chain, really. My criteria for a great burger is simple: is it better than I could make at home? Five Guys fails that basic standard. Someday I'll invite the entire population of Yelp to my backyard and grill up burgers that will make you think you've taken an overdose of ecstacy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methylenedioxymethamphetamine but you won't grind your teeth so much. You will, however, want to take your clothes off and roll on the grass with hedonistic beefy pleasure, and you will love everyone within touching distance of the condiments. The fries are pretty good though! read more

Vegans, vegetarians, health nuts, dieters, and salad lovers beware! Five Guys may not the place to go if you are obsessed with cardiovascular matters, but if you are craving a serious dose of guilty eating this is the perfect place to indulge. If you like it hot and greasy it's all that and more. The fresh cut fries are a great experience. read more

Want a REAL Burger? Goto Five Guys I am a FAN!! The burgers are great, just the right amount of lean beef to fat ratio. I don't get heartburn unlike those other chains (that shall remain nameless) These remind me of the burgers I make at home :-) They are made fresh not sitting under a heat lamp like most other places. I like the fries, but I don't usually order fries. Oh make sure you know that a "regular" cheeseburger has 2 patties, and the little ones only have 1 and saves a few pennies The service is usually pretty fast, unless you get there in the middle of the lunch rush, in which case it might take you about 5-10 minutes for your order, but hey Its made the way YOU want and its FRESH!! Enjoy read more

Good bye In-N-Out. Hello Five Guys. OK, so there ARE some things that are better here than in California. Pizza is one, Five Guys is another. Five Guys is a burger and fries fast food chain. My friend knew of them when she was living in Washington DC, so when we spotted this place, we HAD to stop and get some fries They were BEST FRIES I HAVE EVER EATEN and that includes the chips in London and that Belgium fry place in New York City. They are fried in peanut oil using only potatoes grown in northern lattitudes using a multi-step process and are, of course, fresh cut with the skin on. They are the crispiest best fries ever. The taste of the potatoes of In-N-Out fries are better, but the cooking techniques of Five Guys fries makes them the winner. They have bottles of malt vinegar too, my favorite over fries, Since we are vegetarians, we didn't sample the burgers. But they looked great and are made with fresh, not frozen ground beef. You can get your choice of free toppings, including sauteed mushrooms and onions. The chain bakes their own buns too, there are no preservatives used in anything. They have a veggie sandwich and also a grilled cheese that I'm going to try sometime. However, I can't seem to get past the fries. One order of fries is enough for 2 people, and I went back 4 days later and got an order of fries which I HAD to eat all by myself, so I didn't have room for a sandwich. I think I'm done eating for today. But the calories were worth it! So I have gone back and I got a grilled cheese and tomato sandwich. Awesome. So I have gone back (again and again) and got the veggie sandwich. If you don't get the greasy fried mushrooms and onions, it's actually almost healthy. You could counterbalance the fry thing with that, since of course the fries are mandatory. With the fries, if it's not too busy and you hover, you can tell the guy to skip the styrofoam container and just dump the fries right into the bag. I can see we're all perfecting the art of Five Guys here. Maybe we should start a blog., read more

Great burgers And shakes! This place consistently has amazing burgers. Small fry is plenty for 2 and the little is actually a good meal. If I an really hungry I can eat a double but would be stuffed. I really love getting a shake with burger. Homemade,several flavor choices. Love them! read more

Five Guys - Great burgers And shakes! - Burgers Near Me - Glenmont, New York

It looks like White Castle on the inside. Friendly people. Clean look. They had burgers, big burgers and dogs. I asked if the dogs were grilled and they were. But, no sauerkraut. They've been asked for that before. Didn't seem important. The burger was good. It would have been better by far if they had been charbroiled. They weren't. To me, they're a 5/10. Not bad, not great. I prefer a charbroiled burger at a diner. Good char, good flavor, good service. The fries were plentiful. A little too salted and too greasy. Must be what people like here. They're inexpensive. Must be what people like here. Free peanuts at the door. Salted in the shells. I wonder how they do that? Must be what people like here. If I go back, it'll be for a dog with mustard and relish. No fries, no peanuts and no company. I'll eat in the car. read more

An excellent spot for "fast food but way better" burgers and fries. Ask for your burger "all the time ay" for maximum enjoyment.

I love the food. But the three star is for them not including the Beyond Burger or the Impossible Burger, or other established veggie burgers. Perhaps they need permission from headquarters. This is a necessity in today's times of increasingly growing numbers of vegetarians and vegans, or simply the great number of meat eaters who love veggie burgers. Time to get with the times. read more

For a great hamburger in or around Glenmont or southern Albany this is the place to come. Bring plenty of money cause it is expensive but worth it. The place is always busy after noon and on the weekends. At least that has been my experience. Prices are; hamburger 4.79, bacon burger & cheeseburger 5.39, regular fries 2.49, large fries 3.99 The staff are friendly and quick to get your order. The music is just the right volume to hear and still carry on a conversation. read more

Awesome bang for buck. Burgers are offered with lots of premium toppings at no additional charge. Fries are awesome and portions are huge. Kids love it read more

I eat here like 2 times every week and sometimes I have great service but other times wish I never bothered but the food is phenomenal

Just had an amazing.lunch at five guys. Everything was.prepared.fresh, staff is friendly and helpful. Nice place to come,eat and relax. Will definitelybe back. Bacon cheese burger with mayo and jalapenos, and I made the mistake of ordering the large fries.... That could feed 3 people and are amazing read more

Absolutely the best burgers and fries in town. Wendys, McDonalds and Burger King don't even come close. Service is very good, and everytime I have been there to the East Greenbush location, I have my food within 10 minutes of placing my order. You can taste the "real" meat in the burgers, not like the garbage the 3 national chains serve. Only place even close in meat quality is Red Robin. The cajun fries are over the top good, and as mentioned in an earlier review, you must pour them out onto the bag and chow them down. read more

Best burgers around. Beware that the "regular" is a double, and good luck trying to fit it in your mouth. All the toppings are available at no extra charge, and the fries are fantastic. If I had the money, I would open a franchise in Colorado. read more

Oh my yum! Five guys is my evil indulgence! Usually every once in a while, bacon cheeseburger, bacon cheese dog and a large fry! Can't do it all the time at my advanced age, but every once in a while, this is so good. I usually get it to go, and the fries never last until I get home. Lol. This is pretty much like every other Five Guys you have eaten at. Same selection, same drinks, and free peanuts! Can't beat that!! read more

Stopped by on the way home from Vermont. The entire staff was very helpful in all aspects-from the ordering of menu items to ensuing that we had enough ketchup for the fries. This pleasantly surprised this "City kid" ! The burgers were made to our wishes. They actually included too many jalepenos! read more

Wow! Let's just say I've been around awhile. I had one of their burgers dropped off to me at work. When I opened it looked like the kids were playing street hockey with it. Well, street hockey or not, this burger was the best I have ever eaten! And I can tell you, that this is not coming from a 6 foot 160 lb. guy that snacks on carrots at lunch time. Nope, this is coming from a guy who knows about all the things you shouldn't eat. 5 stars for 5 Guys, hands down. read more

First time, still prefer the in n out burger better, but certainly would stop again given the opportunity. Fries are yummy but plenty for two. Peanuts were fun but only mediocre, as I am a peanut aficionado. Bit pricey for a couple burgers fries and soda though. read more

This five guys is one of the best by far the staff always greets you as soon as you walk in the door. They are very suggestive with items and have suggested me some of the best milkshakes I've ever had. always seems to be a steady crew so you can tell they all get along and it is a good place to work for. food always takes less than 10 minuets and I can see them starting my order before I even pay for the food yet. that's the kind of service you should have at a fast food burger joint. although very expensive I never have left unsatisfied. me and my boyfriend love it read more

Let's not kid ourselves, this place is amazing. The fries are the best things I've ever tasted. The burgers are so juicy. I recommend letting them cool for a bit. The milkshakes... you already know. Great service. The spicy fries are okay. I like the OG ones more though. read more
