Great place for your customizable juicy burgers and cajun fries! Gets super busy at peak lunch times, but great for a yummy, cheap dinner since they close at 11. I always get the cheeseburger with grilled onions, mushrooms, lettuce, and BBQ sauce. All their burgers are well done and are always juicy. They also have kosher hot dogs (toppings optional), and vegetarian options as well. There's something for everyone! They're very organized and efficient, very clean in the dining room (always cleaning tables and sweeping the floor), and the bathrooms are always clean too. read more

Five Guys - Fast Food Near Me - Hayward, California

I DONT REALLY WRITE REVIEWS but I felt like I had 2 for this. I Have never tried it before, and everyone has said good things about it, and it seems to get a lot of hype, But thats all it is is HYPE. The burgers taste just like something I can make at home. & know people than think GREAT I love home made style burgers, WRONG!! The whole point you go out to a burger Joint is 2 get something that does not taste like HOME. A cheese Burger and Fries without a drink came out to $10.23. I would have much rather went to a cheap fast food place and got something off the dollar menu and would have been much happier. This Place is all hype people go here because they think its what they are suppose to do, simply because they put your fries in a Cup, and rap your burger up in Foil, for as much money as I spend on it, it actually looks really cheap. and because they allow you to pick your toppings people think this place is so amazing.......uhm I can go to burger king and say I do or do not want onions or ketchup on my burger, I dont need to go 2 Five Guys Just for that. If your the type that follows hype such as (playing angry birds on your phone, acting like you cant live without starbucks, & posting every single thing to instagram, Than Please Go here, You Will enjoy it so much, also be sure to bring you LIFE SAVINGS when you go, You will definitely Need it.. read more

Opening day in Hayward! We had visited the Fremont location a couple of times and happy to welcome Five Guys to Hayward. Finally remembered to order the Little Burger for a single patty hamburger with all the trimmings - Excellent! The Cajun Fries seemed to be more seasoned and perfect with a dash of malt vinegar to top it off. For a first day, it seemed that things were going well. Hope that is indicative of days to come! read more

My first visit to the Five Guys did not disappoint. I can see why it's been called the East Coast version of In-and-Out burger. A simple menu with quality ingredients. Hand formed patties with a lot of flavor, and a plethora of topping options including grilled mushrooms and jalapeños. Fresh cut fries cooked to crispy perfection. The place was clean and the staff is friendly and efficient .Free roasted peanuts, as an appetizer, while waiting on your burger order is just an added bonus. Simple and delicious, just the way a good burger should be. read more

Five Guys - Fast Food Near Me - Hayward, California

WAY better than In-N-Out. I know you're usually one or the other - I'm definitely on the Five Guys bandwagon in this debate. Their peanuts are friggin' awesome, as well! Brined and roasted in the shell they are really delicious! And I agree with a previous reviewer - the cajun seasoned fries are wonderful! If you've never been, the servings of fries are HUGE and my husband and I split a small one if that gives you any indication... Their burgers are good - you add whatever you want to them. My ONE complaint? NO MILK SHAKES!!!!! I mean, c'mon -- how do you have a burger joint that doesn't offer milk shakes??? read more

Don't know why I ever came back here. Usually it's years in between where I think to myself maybe they've changed.... but to this day they suck. They have never gotten my order right which is awful because I don't modify anything. Burger all the way or whatever you call it. But this last time i went was final straw because I seem to have caught a stomach bug. Don't eat here. read more

Alright, alright. Besides the interior decor there's no comparison to In-N-Out!! The burgers and fries are completely different!! Can someone explain the peanuts?? I ate there 4 days ago and nobody can explain it. Lets start with the burgers. Nowhere on the menu does it say the regular size burger comes with 2 patties even though I was pleasantly surprised to open my greasy paper bag to find out! These style burgers are more of a main stream type in size and taste. Totally different from the unorthodox compact style that is In-N-Out. Major props for all the free burger toppings. The cajun fries are awesome!! If you're eating with someone there no need to order a second order of fries, they give you more than enough with one serving. Eating out of a paper bag anywhere feels strange, let alone inside the restaurant from where you ordered your food is just weird. Not very appetizing! read more

Can't complain, this is a go to if you want a good fresh hamburger. They always give an ample amount of fries.

-I liked the peanuts -I liked the burger -I liked that you get tons of toppings to choose from -I rather enjoyed the overly generous helping of fries -I liked the free refills -I liked that they had someone going around often to keep the place clean - Found it kinda odd that they had large signs everywhere of comments or reviews of how awesome other people thought they were. It reminded me of going out with some guy who couldn't stop talking about how great he was. Overall, I liked it but I don't think I could ever be convinced to go out of my way to get a burger here. read more

So glad this location finally opened. It's the new one next to Costco and Eden shores. Check them out!

I took my daughter to Kennedy Park (5/6/12) which off Hesperian Blvd. in Hayward and I noticed the 6 month old Five Guys burger joint next door. After a day at the park I decided to give Five Guys a try because I have heard wonderful things about their burgers. * Great French fries (better than in&out) * The hamburgers were cooked perfect + good quality meat. * They are very good but quite different than in&out burgers which has a bigger bun, tomato, lettuce & onion aspect to their burgers * In&Outs burger is great - but not superior to Five Guys - they are equal in quality. * We also ordered the Hot Dogs and they too were excellent. It's worth checking them out because they don't feel like a big fast food turn and burn operation. read more

This place just gave me a half a patty with my burger. Don't get me wrong; this place is usually pretty cool and the service from the cashier this time was really good, hence the 3 stars. However, how is somebody going to give someone half a patty and think it's ok? I literally ate half of my "burger" with mouthfuls of onion, mushroom, cheese, and bread. Get it together! This burger sucked ass. read more

My first burger since Lent and I was slightly disappointed. I've heard great things about this place, but it just didn't quite hit the spot. I mean, I do like it, but somehow, it was just lacking some luster and the bang. I want to like the place a little more, but frankly, I'm not that impressed. I've definitely had better burgers at some other chains. read more

Generally, I am not a big fan of burgers but on those special occasion that I do find myself wanting to butter myself with with a week's worth of kcals in simply one meal, I'd believe Five Guys burgers are one of my top choices. Going head to head with Inn & Out, what stands out the most is their delicious sautéed onions & mushrooms, absolutely my 2 favorite toppings ever! The patty itself, isn't as juicy as I would like it to be, but their vegetables are FRESH! Sometimes I wonder if Five Guys has their own mini tomato garden in their back yard.. (jokes, but thats how fresh it is). Their infamous cajun fries is ..okay. I would actually prefer their regular fries over the cajun, due to the overwhelming seasonings that they drench on their Cajun fries, making it feel as if I had eaten an entire bag of MSG after my meal. I do like their free peanuts during the wait! & their open kitchen. I can finally get to see what goes down in the kitchen & see if anyone's spitting on my food or not. read more

They screwed up my order so completely and my wife's burger tasted funny to the point that she couldn't finish it. I am always courteous and pleasant to people making my food cuz I'm not a jerk, and I don't want special sauce in my food. I would have let this slide but I ended up getting my wife crappy food. The most I will do is not go to this place anymore. read more

I would've given 5 Stars but the inside of the restaurant was filthy! Not a clean table in the place. They need to keep up on sweeping and wiping down tables. As for the burger and fries...they were delicious! Just clean up!! read more

Anyone who claims IN n OUT is better, has NO PALATE!!! What are you tasteless people talking about? In n Out competes,and Yes, is BETTER than Wendy's, McD's, Carl Jr., etc. Five Guys is in another class, COMPLETELY!! The quality of the meat, cheese, bread...and to even come close to comparing their French fries is even more stupid! Go to Five Guys with an open mind and let your taste buds tell your brain what's obviously better, not your biased towards In N Out, because it's a California joint. read more

New burger joint at Target shopping center. Five Guys is a large chain that is only beginning to penetrate the Bay Area. The good: I love how you can easily get your burger any way you like it - including grilled onions and mushrooms that you might have to pay for separately at other places. Freshly made. Plenty of roasted peanuts in the shell to eat. Prices ok. Spicy Cajun fries. Easy parking. The bad: the diameter of the burger is kinda small. restaurant is kinda noisy - loud music on the radio playing. Fries fresh and hot out of the fryer, but not crisp at all. Kinda flimsy. read more

Just opened up in the neighborhood, figured I'd give this one a shot even though I have preconceived notions from the Fremont location. Let's just say this location did not change my perception. I got my small cheeseburger (meaning one patty) with lettuce, tomato, grilled onions, and ketchup. Just like my last 5 guys burger, it was alright. I guess I just can't get over the fact that they use American cheese. Fries were better this time around. perfectly seasoned. I couldn't stop eating them. I hope this doesn't hurt my personal local favorite place, Classic Burger! read more

I LOVE FIVE GUYS BURGERS! I never ate burgers in my 19 yrs of life till probably a year ago when i had someone take me to their location in Fremont. and.. it was love at first sight! I was excited to get some food from here because (as someone said in an earlier post) it was like Ecstasy. it was an orgasm in my mouth. so many different fresh flavors all in one bite. their burgers are huge, fresh tasty mouth fulfilling burger. Their Cajun fries are the bomb! I LOVE HOW THEY PUT EXTRA FRIES IN THE BROWN BAG. WELCOME FIVE GUYS! read more

This was my first time there and I ordered online, simple and easy but when I got there, they wasn't ready as said they would be. It was 2 regular hamburgers and 3 Cajun fries, I was surprise they just threw the fries in the brown bag, like there was 1 water cup holding the fries but the other 2 seem to be thrown in there. I didn't know they did it like that...... read more

Five Guys - 2 burgers and 3 Cajun fries...... I think... Well that's what I ordered to go - Fast Food Near Me - Hayward, California

Horrible service!! We ordered online for pick up where they promise fresh shakes and for convenience. Yet my shake is melted and we waited 30 mins to get our food. The assistant manager was useless. The manager will call us? So what's your purpose??? read more

Don't order through yelp use the five guys app. They been double charging me for a month now. Plus the five guys delivery app is way faster! So many stars not to give right now! read more

It's pretty good, but not amazing. The burgers I've had there seem to be a bit dry because they fall apart. It is good quality meat but they need to season it better - the patty itself doesn't have much flavor (it's more about what you add to it - I usually add lots of veggies, bacon, and mustard to make it less dry). The cajun fries seasoning is good but sooo salty and there's just too much of it. Yes, it's really good at the time, but I always end up SO thirsty afterwards. Also, the fries are really inconsistent. We've come here a few times and sometimes they are cooked well (crispy and fresh) and other times they are undercooked (tastes like biting into an cold, undercooked potato...yuck) and soggy. So take your chances! And my biggest pet peeve about Five Guys is the lack of milkshakes! How can you have a burger place without milkshakes?? Boo. I'd still pick In-n-out for a fast food burger, but this place is a little closer to home, less busy, and they have online ordering...so we come here more often. And the cajun fries are good, as long as you can limit yourself to a few so you're not dying of salt OD after! read more

Didn't know this place had finally opened, so I stopped by to see what all the hoopla was about. There were about 5 people in line ahead of me, but the place was packed and all tables filled with people eating or waiting for their food. By the time I got to the counter to order, I looked around at the door and the line had extended to about 15 to 20 people behind me. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger for myself, a little bacon cheeseburger for my daughter and two orders of regular sized fries. The "little" burgers are the same as the regular burgers except they come with a single hamburger patty. The regular burgers came with two patties. Had I known this, I would have gotten the regular burger. The price came to $18.00+ (this did not include a drink or anything extra - just the two burgers and fries). Though very pricey, the burgers were very good. The burgers come standard with mayo, lettuce, pickles, tomatoes, grilled onions, grilled mushrooms, ketchup and mustard. You can also get it with relish, onions, jalapeno peppers, green peppers, A.1. Steak Sauce, bar-b-que sauce and hot sauce with no additional charge. The regular size fries come in what looks to be a 12 oz cup, and they add an additional cupful of fries into your bag on top of that. So, I guess you get what you pay for. I will defintely come here again, and again, and again! This place may put their nextdoor neighbor, The Cheesesteak Shop (one of my other favorites) out of business!!! If the menu wasn't so pricey, I would give it 5 stars. But no two burgers and fries is worth $18 unless I'm being served at a table. read more

The burgers here are definitely fancier than In-n-Out. Although I like the customization and the option of getting mushroom on my burger, I still think that In-n-Out hamburgers are still better. There is plenty of parking since this is located in a shopping plaza. Getting a table could be hard depending on the time of day. But it is a good place to catch up with friends while grabbing a bite. read more

The burgers from this place is way better than in & outs...all their burgers comes with 2 patties..but when you order make sure you tell them what you want on it, if you don't than it will just come with the patties only...I got one with everything on it and man is it good...oh let's not forget their cajun fried it is off the hook.... read more

This was an ok burger. I liked that it came standard with lots of toppings. It was HUGE though! I was a rookie so I just ordered the cheeseburger, which has two burger patties but if I go again I will order the "little cheeseburger" which I'm assuming is just one. They get thumbs down for the jalapenos. When I added them I was expecting the marinated peppers but these were actually fresh, sliced peppers and they didn't add a lot of flavor to my burger. Also, the patty could have used some salt or something. It was pretty bland. Had it not been for the bbq sauce, it would have been pretty tasteless. a LOT of hype here for these burgers though, I must say. read more

Ok so let me tell you what I think about this place??? It's so delicious lol I had been wanting to try this place for so long. So let me tell you what I experienced at this location. Ambiance: The setting is inviting it clearly gives you the directions to the cash register and the bright red colors contrasted with the white is a great combination that invites people to stay in. The pictures show the history of the burger joint and the sacks of potatoes and boxes of oil that divide the dining room from the order line is a great addition to give the place a little extra. Food: The menu is simple 4 normal burgers, 4 little burgers and hot dogs fries and drinks. The burgers are so juicy and cooked fresh on the spot. Plus the addition of grilled onions and mushrooms is a great topping for any burger. The sizes are huge I ordered the bacon cheeseburger and it was so big I loved it. I asked if the large order of fries was enough for two and I'm so glad I did. The portion is so big that one person can finish the frie'ness goodness lol. Service: The service was quick and great. The young lady at the cashier was engaging and asked me what toppings I would like and when I got stuck she named them all and was very polite about it, I was like sweet! Final thought: Overall I'm completely satisfied with this place and I will add it on my list of regular spots to get a bite to eat, and bring my friends of course! read more

Never again, Hayward Five Guys. The other night, I saw Daym Drops' review for Five Guys' bacon cheese hot dogs. In his video, the hot dog looked amazing. I had an errand to run in Hayward today, so I excitedly stopped in for a hot dog. I've been to this location before for a hamburger and remembered that I was disappointed, but couldn't remember exactly why. I hoped that their hot dog would give me new faith in this location. I ordered and payed with $2 bills. The cashier held the bill up and looked at it and said that he didn't think he would be able to take it. I laughed because he was either joking or didn't understand how "all debts public and private" works. A few minutes later, my order was ready. When I unwrapped the hot dog, I was surprised by 2 things. First, the bun was completely split in half, so it was like I had one openface hot dog sandwich and one openface bacon sandwich. Next, there was no cheese. I took the dog back up to the counter and a couple slices of fake cheese were added. So again, I've got to remember to never again be fooled by online reviews of Five Guys. read more

15 minutes and still waiting for 2 burgers and large fries. No line. Not a bunch of people here. Wtf yo?

I have always been happy with both the service and the food here. There is some trickery on the menu board regarding the big burger being prominently at the top and the regular one being farther down, but that's OK. Love the peanuts! read more

Tried this out for the first time and I have to say that I was amazed. When I first entered the restaurant, they had checkered walls similar to what In 'N Out looks like. As my girlfriend and I stood in line, I was wondering why there were large bags of peanuts just sitting there. I found out that they were free to eat while we waited for our order. Awesome! I had the double cheeseburger and it fascinated me on how many toppings I can choose in my burger. I was impressed that they even had mushrooms. When I got my burger, it was stacked like a deck of cards with everything placed nicely in order. The steak fries were crispy but also meaty in the middle. Every time I bit into the burger, the cheese, ketchup, grilled onions, and the mustard will drip out from the bottom. I was holding the burger in one hand and I could not put it down! I was scarfing it down while munching on the fries and I could say that it was an animalistic experience, yet the burger was clean, fresh, and hearty. I have to admit that this defeats In 'N Out in any way possible. While In 'N Out patties are puny and flimsy, Five Guys are hand-crafted which means that the patties are bulky, which means more meat. Everything about this restaurant has impressed me and I will not hesitate to go back here again. Although the price can go over $10 easily, I still feel like stopping by this place is a necessity if you want to have quality burgers. read more

This place is really good, the burgers are one of the best. They are super juicy and cooked perfectly, they also come with a ton of toppings. The cajun fries are not that great, I prefer the original. However, this place is very good, but it is rather expensive. I usually spend about $13 for a meal, this doesn't sound like a lot but it's just a burger so to me it is a lot of money. I will come back here but only if I am really craving one of these burgers, if not I will just stick to Wendy's or Carl's Jr. So overall, great burgers but too expensive. read more

Personally, I'm mixed on this place. Like almost everything in the Bay Area, a good hamburger place are a dime a dozen in this place and I feel you can get a better burger for cheaper at some of the local mom and pop burger joynts. However, where FIVE GUYS tends to stand above the rest is the fact they give you a TON of free toppings where other places would charge you for them. The burgers themselves are quite tasty, and you have to give this place a SUPER high-five for using only fresh organic ingredients. But, FIVE GUYS has a serious problem with salt! They simply use too much of it! Not on the burgers, but on the fries! Our fries were so salty that we almost had to throw them away because our taste buds were going numb! Also, another issue you need to be aware of is that people who have allergies to peanuts SHOULD NOT COME HERE. This particular Five Guys was littered with used peanut shells on the table and the floors. A potential death trap to anyone who has never been to a FIVE GUYS before. In addition, no one in my group could figured out why this particular Five Guys in Hayward felt the need to keep the temperature in the restaurant at a constant 62 degrees when it was about 50 degrees outside. T ake a jacket. read more

I will no longer be going to this Five Guys and will drive a little further to the one next to costco. The burgers are great, but this specific establishment has gotten my order incorrect more than once. Cheeseburger with an extra patty, ketchup only. Easy enough, right? Apparently no, twice I have come home to a missing extra patty. Sure I should check, but I don't, trusting that the staff can get it right. Still eating Five Guys, but never here anymore read more

Five Guys is a solid spot for a burger with more toppings than you could shake a stick at. The meat taste fresh and while the patties are fairly thin, they're reminiscent of a homemade burger your Grandma would wipp up... I'm not a fan of the crumbled bacon they use. Can i get a full strip? The fries are solid and possibly the best when compared to similar establishments. The place has decent service. Nothing is presented on an Eat In tray; it's all bagged as To Go. I think that should be changed. The lobby floor stays dirty and the trash cans full. They really need to work on the esthetic nature, but surely it's difficult when you have people throwing peanut casings about. Overall it's worth trying and you'll leave satisfied. read more

STUPID PLACE! This is why I keep coming back and it makes me mad..... I hate good burgers, and 5 guys is it! Bacon cheese burger with bacon! like all the peanuts! read more

CAUTION: Not only did they give me super dry over cooked burgers, but the screwed my order to go. I wouldn't be as upset if it was just for me and my son. But because i needed a diet restricted burger for my father that I requested just a hamburger.. meaning no cheese, because cheese can make him more sick because of his health condition. I notice my lettuce wrapped cheeseburger was missing cheese... I run to my dad's room and viola, it's in his sandwich that he started eating. Had to stop him. Thanks 5 guys for a upcoming doctors appointment... Ohh and it wasn't the cashiers fault cause I looked at the tag, she had it all correct... it's the people in the back assuming how to make it... and maybe even assuming the healthy burger needed no cheese and stick it on the one without cheese. $30 for 3 burgers and 1 frie down the drain. What a waist. read more

I will give you 3 stars just because the food still good as always but not your customer service, prices and the store is too dirty. Me and my wife came in to the store for lunch today Sunday around 2 pm and there were only one table with 2 customers and all the floors were totally dirty with food left overs, paper bags, napkins, etc. No even one employee was there when we open the door so we decided to go to the restrooms when we come out from there stills no one in to make our order no even the cookers so have to wait, when finally someone came from the back he tell us " some one will be with you in one second " after five minutes somebody came to us take the order and we didn't receive an apology for the waiting. We decided to eat there because we had more shopping to do later so I have to clean the table with some napkins which a I have to ask for because the dispenser was empty. So we stay there eating and chatting for about 45 minutes and no one came to the front to clean up and when I decide to take some pictures one of the guys saw me and send out a lady with a broom and a towel. ( to late body ) read more
