In 2016, I saw Derick Mendelson swallow an entire Junior Cheeseburger without chewing here when we were in college. Sitting right at the hightop next to the pole. We all sat at the tall chairs with the red back on them while he stood up in front of us and turned the place into a damn circus act. He didn't chew even once and we all legitimately thought he was gonna die. His girlfriend was crying because she actually thought he was going to die. The manager at the time, no idea who he was, came around the counter and was berating Derick. He kept telling him to spit it out but Derick anaconda'd the entire thing. It looked so painful. "YOU GOTTA SPIT IT OUT!" the manager yelled at him. His eyes were filled with tears and his entire face was purple but I swear to God that he did it. I thought he was legit gonna die. He said his throat was sore for like two weeks after. Derick and his husband live in the Bay Area now and I think he works for like Google, which is hilarious because he was so stupid in high school. College turned him into a tech wiz or something, honestly I'm not sure exactly what his job is. But he was a legend. "Derickburger" was his nickname for the next few years of college lol. One weekend I visited him at TCNJ and everyone there called him Derickburger too which made me crack up. The greatest fries of any fast food establishment, literally. I love Five Guys fries. read more

Five guys does not tend to get the love it deserves. On this occasion I got a double bacon cheeseburger because who doesn't love more beef and bacon on their burger. What I love about five guys is that you can really throw a bunch of toppings on your creation and the workers here did not skimp. The burger was made fresh to go and the staff was very friendly. Probably the best "fast food" burger I have had in the area. Got a ton of fries on the side. Picked up shortly before closing so the place was empty but it had seating and looked clean. Very satisfying! read more

Five Guys - Bacon Cheeseburger - Burgers Near Me - Howell, New Jersey

I was craving fries and a burger and this place definitely hit the spot ! I got the regular cheese burger with regular fries. The cheeseburger was good , was a bit greasy but what can you expect from a cheeseburger joint lol. The burger patties were a bit thin , I think I would of preferred a thicker burger verses two thin patties. The fries yeah definitely can't go wrong with them totally worth it , and the portion size was perfect as you get a lot ! Pricing wise I'd say it's reasonable for a burger joint ! read more

Five Guys - Regular Cheeseburger and a Regular Fries - Burgers Near Me - Howell, New Jersey

BUYERS BEWARE!! Ordered door dash from this location and the order was tampered with. Sticker was damaged, corner of the bag was opened, internal and external bags have tears indicative of tampering. Door dash will do nothing about this issue because the dasher left before the order was recieved. Order was set to handed off to myself and it was left on the steps. Dasher did not follow requirements of delivery and tampered with my food. By the looks of the ordered the delivery driver of door dash stuck their dirty fingers in my food and ate half the fries in the bag read more

Five guys is open for takeout only due to COVID. 5 guys is my favorite hamburger chain. It's without a doubt the best tasting, best quality "fast food", made fresh to order every time. I usually get a "little" burger, but you can get a larger size patty and can double or bacon it up how ever you want. You can also add things like mushrooms or halepeno without any additional charge. The fries are awesome, You can also get a hot dog or a vegetable sandwich too. They have a coke soda machine that has every flavor coke you can get. Orange vanilla is my favorite. You can sanitize your hands right as you exit so your good to go. If your in the area of Howell, we were coming from great adventure and wanted something good on the way home. 5 Guys is always a good choice. read more

"Just when I thought I was out, they keep pulling me back in." So goes the famous lament of Michael Corleone in Godfather III... except for his penchant towards ritualistic homicide as a means of conflict resolution, that's kinda how I feel about Five Guys. I've been to several locations over the years and unlike everyone I know, I'm just not a fan of burgers and fries extracted from a grease laden bag. C'mon they say, have you ever tasted anything so amazing? Sure, I'm a big advocate of made-to-order cheeseburgers and hand cut fries that do not have the consistency of a thousand exploding zits. I don't care, tie me down, force feed me, I'm never going to get on the Five Guys bandwagon - the threat of homicide not withstanding. read more

I took my two kids tofive guys yesterday for a meal. It cost me $47 for three small hamburgers three small fries and three drinks. $47. Are these people out of their goddamn mind what the hell do they think they are serving? It's totally insane. $47 I could've went to the supermarket and bought dinner lunch and breakfast for the next day. This place is a total rip off. read more

For me, Five Guys has lost its luster. I used to think it was a go to , but now, to expensive compared to what you get. Nothing against this location, though. read more

Five Guys is kind of a go to place for me because I am on a low carb diet, and I like to order them with no bun. Generally I really like all of them. The issue I had here is that I ordered one with all the usual toppings, grilled jalapeños, and hot sauce. They did not include the grilled onions that are supposed to be included in "all the way" burgers. I had to ask for the mayonnaise (that should have been included). They also failed to include the grilled jalapeños and hot sauce. The receipt indicated that I ordered these things but the burger was incorrect. The bottom line is five guys is always a good place for a quick meal if you are on a low carb diet. This particular location gets a reduced review because they did not get the topping correct as ordered. read more

Delicious and they have great customer service. Best burger and fries in town!!!!!!!!

Holy. Cheat meal. Grilled hotdog split in half? Why does it taste SO much better split in half and grilled? Is it grilled or griddled? I don't know. I don't care it tasted amazing. With mustard of course. Did not see sauerkraut as an option.... Cheeseburger heaven. Why did I order a second patty -AND extra cheese? One patty would have been enough especially after that hotdog. Burger was awesome- I want another. Why don't they offer avocado? Fries. Upon Fries. Large is a huge order. Why don't they offer cheese fries? Why don't they have onion rings?! Why no tater tots? I understand the simplified concept- but help me out here.....no avocado for my burger? I need variety. I'm still coming back. Spilt dogs just taste better! read more

Burgers I can always count on being great. Fantastic fries and shakes. Crew does a good job keeping the tables clean.

They have great burgers and shakes. The fries they always give you so much and it's so filling.

Great burgers every single time. I like jalapeños on my little bacon cheeseburger. The only reason why I gave it 3 stars is that the cashier charged us for an extra bacon cheeseburger that we did not order. We only noticed when we got home and there was one extra burger. Usually five guys is a bit pricey so we didn't even realize the price for everything. All in all we'll be back, but we'll be more thorough and go over our order. In the future I suggest the cashier reads back the order to the customer as well. read more

We used to love this place but the last 3 times we've ordered on the app they've left the grilled onions off our burgers. It's listed on the receipt but someone just does not want to grill any onions over there. The FRy portions have also changed dramatically. A regular now looks like a small. They did used to give a ton of fries so someone probably realized they were losing money. I just mention it so you order accordingly. read more

Fries, fries, fries!!! I LOVE Five Guys Fries! They are such a better tasting option than going to your regular fast food restaurant. Being vegan, I cannot order anything off the menu really but I do come here for their fries! The fries are so crispy and crunchy with a warm soft inside, exactly how I like! Not to mention that the amount of fries you get is crazy, it's basically double of what you order!! Great fries, great service! Do not eat these if you are trying to be healthy! Lol read more

HOWELL -- The owner of a Five Guys restaurant says he fired an employee after learning that the teenager had referred to police as "piggies" in the presence of five uniformed cops on Friday 1/17/20.

Food is terrible, the cheese didn't even melt, the fries look moldy everything is just bad! I 100 percent don't recommend this place, I didn't even finish the burger! read more

What I love about Five Guys is that you have no choice but to get Well Done burger. You cannot choose how you want your burger cooked. That is completely fine with me, I love my burgers well done anyways. Its just peace of mind knowing all the stuff that can hurt me is burned to crisp. ;) aka e. coli. Love getting my usual Cheeseburger double patti, with bacon, and cheddar cheese, as well as bbq sauce and crispy bacon. I have to throw in Cajun Style fries LARGE, I love the way they just dump the whole fries in the bag and throw in some old bay cajun spices and shake the bag up so hard, the guy shaking it looks like his having a damn seizure. all good, at least the seasonings is evenly distributed all over the fries. Would always go back here whenever Im craving burgers, better than 25 burgers where the burger is good too but you have to wait 30 minutes to get your food. read more

Five Guys - Burgers Near Me - Howell, New Jersey

I am all about burgers at In- N- Out, so when I moved to NJ -- bye-bye to 30+years of my In-N-Out- Double Double Animal Style--- Five Guys is a block from my house....now Suffice to say Five Guys is not new as far as a burger place restaurant, they are an East Coast kinda joint, but they are a good burger. Line is never really out the building on summer nights since the do not have outdoor seating-, but the service does not suffer it is smiles, great attitude and they are on the ball! However I have to say it is not a cheap burger, Maybe cuz you have the choice of 1 or two patties- I go for 1- the 2 patty never ever every stays together in any form of ease to eat, it all falls apart, which is fine but I like my burgers to hold together for at least the 3rd bite, maybe I should ease up on the fixins..... ya right! So remember when you order a double patty is the normal burger- the single is the way to go. I love the cajun fries with the vinegar to dip in. I have to share the large fries it is a really large portion and even with the hubby - it is a lot of fries. Inside is small, a little loud- but its happy people having a good burger- over kinda loud music, but again AWESOME music! Now as for In N Out- ya I am still in an In N Out gal- but since I no longer have this option- but a new place to eat that I really enjoy depending on which Coast I am currently on- and not be disappointed- that is a good thing. read more

Top notch in every way. The food is always fresh and delicious. My husband loves the grilled cheese and French fries, which they are usually generous with. I can't say enough great things about this place. I had my wedding dinner here. Not kidding! read more

Five Guys - Our wedding party had dinner here after the ceremony! HA! - Burgers Near Me - Howell, New Jersey

This place never disappoints!! Burgers are always juicy and cooked to perfection. The fries are delicious too !!

Ill include a mini review for this specific location as well as a general review for Five Guys as a whole that I'll be copying and pasting to multiple locations. General review- I honestly don't see what all the hype about Five Guys is. I consider them to be of similar quality to Wendy's. I like Wendy's don't get me wrong, but I would not call them the best burger I've ever had. In addition to being overrated, I find their cheese to be very artificial. It's like plastic. I give them kudos for not charging for extra cheese, but the cheese is def not real cheese . It is a cheese product in my opinion. I also don't understand how their burgers are well done. I usually order my burgers at places medium, bc I hate burnt burgers, but I have no problem with five guys burgers being burnt(which is how i equate the word well done to). Overall, I consider Five Guys to be highly overrated, and don't see the hype. Smashburger Cheeburger Cheeburger, and many other ''joints'' are better. My personal favorite is Cheeburger Cheeburger. As far as the localized review, I'd say the quality at this Five guys is equal or better compared with the others I've tried. The service wasn't as friendly, but it could have been an off day. I have not tried their new shakes, but they don't look like they would tast any better than mcds lol. To conclude, I would rate 5 guys as a whole as a 3/10 place(same as Wendy's). the reason I am giving it a 1 star review is to offset the inflated 5 star reviews. read more

This is our go to Five Guys.. Always the same great burgers and fries. Always happy looking staff behind the counter. Well tonight I got my food to go. Guess who screwed up and got the wrong order? Yup. I messed up. Not the fault of the staff. So when I walk back in the manager is waiting for me at the register. No fan fair or drama. A true gentleman. Five Guys employees like Mr. Harrison make Five Guys a great place to eat. His demeanor and professionalism really stood out. Great job sir! Thanks BTW--- The burgers were awesome!!!!! read more

Expensive fast-food burgers that are slightly greasy. Sometimes a greasy burger is what you want/need, but not for that price point. If I want a greasy burger, I'll head to White Castle. But if I want a really good burger for the same price as Five Guys, I'll head to Tommy's Tavern in Freehold. Tommy's Tavern is just a short drive North on Route 9 from this Five Guys location. read more

While nothing really all that exciting, Five Guys is nonetheless a place that I don't mind going to, whenever friends are looking for a quick bite. That said, it's not exactly my first choice for a burger place, either. The burgers here are a step above the typical fast food variety, and there's a huge menu of toppings that you can mix and match for your burger -- a huge plus. Double cheeseburger with A1 sauce, sauteed onions, and mushrooms? Yes, please. Still, there's nothing quite "gourmet" about it. The burgers are fairly greasy, are cooked on a griddle - not over a flame grill, and are wrapped in foil. The french fries are pretty great here, and are of the "boardwalk" style. Malt vinegar is available if you like to drench your fries, making them more akin to British "chips". If you're ordering a side of fries for yourself, make note to order the smaller size, since they fill the cup and then put an EXTRA scoop into the bag. Pretty good value. All in all, not bad.. but if you're looking for a more quality hamburger and less of a "fast food style" burger, there's better places around. Burger 25 down the road on route 70 is about the same price, and is more of an actual hamburger. I basically put Five Guys in the same category as Chipotle, which is "somewhere in the middle of fast food and restaurant quality". read more

I can't believe I've never visited this Five Guys, especially considering it's right down the road from me. It's been years since I've eaten one of their large burgers, but I finally changed all that recently. Yep, I wasn't playing around and went right for the bacon cheeseburger, which in their world of red and white tile really means a "double" bacon cheeseburger with two decent size patties. Fries and a drink? Both please! While waiting, I helped myself to some shelled salted peanuts and a cherry vanilla Coke. When my number was called, I grabbed my brown bag and a bottle of vinegar and went right to it. It was a greasy and juicy mess, but it was really good. Good as in, much better than typical fast food burgers. The long-cut fries (with vinegar) were excellent as well. However, don't even think about coming in here if you have a peanut allergy! You'll probably die. read more

I've heard so much about this place and finally I decided to try it. I'm not sure if it was an off day for them or people have no taste buds. I ordered a burger & cajun fries. The burger was extremely dry and bland. The cajun fries were extremely bland as well... no seasonings that I noticed whatsoever. I was very disappointed in this considering I've heard so many good things about them. I won't be back. I think I could get something better for that price. read more

Fantastic burger and great fries, but a little expensive. I'll definitely be back, just not a lot. read more

Five Guys - Burgers Near Me - Howell, New Jersey

I am not a part of the majority here. I do not think that 5 guys burgers are that special. They are double patty burgers and pretty damn greasy. They do load you up on french fries which is nice. There are a few different toppings you can get but I would prefer the number of toppings you can get at Cheeburger Cheeburger. read more

Delicious food and polite, well trained staff! I've never had any problems with my burgers, even when I order using the app. I don't mind paying a bit more for yummy, juicy, flavorful burgers! The owner of this location is extremely generous with their fundraiser events as my music group at my high school raised a ton of procedes. They are professional on all levels. My only complaint is the exposed peanuts since in deadly allergic, which is why I order online so I can get in and out quickly. read more

Had my first experience here a few weeks ago and absolutely loved it. Burgers were awesome. Love the fact that toppings don't change the price, although it is by no means cheap. Fries are insanely addictive and come in mass quantities. My mother and I split a small and it was more than enough. Their small fry puts the retired McDonald's Super-Sized fries to shame. Soda machine was like nothing I've ever seen. It too operated like the food counter. Add in any flavor for no extra cost (cherry, vanill,a etc.). 2 burgers (two patties each), 1 small fry, and two drinks ran us about $20+, but it was worth it. Definitely want to go back! read more

Burgers are good cooked well done not by choice with an impressive topping list The fries are the star real fresh cut potatoes cooked to order and very large portions I will opt for that any time I want a quick burger read more

Here's the deal: I've tried some really great burger places, but Five Guys is the best chain, and even rivals independent joints. Highlights: Fries are abundant! Service from staff is polite and more than excellent. The new-stye soda towers have SO many choices. Lastly, and most importantly, the burgers are SO GOOD, that my wife, who is NOT a burger fan AT ALL, will not only not turn down a Five Guys, but she will finish her burger before you, guaranteed! Tip: If you go by yourself, it can be a tad expensive. However, if you go with a friend/spouse, etc, you can easily share a regular fry and drink with your own Little Cheeseburger each for about $15 total. *This review applies to all of the Five Guys i've been to in Harrisburg and Philadelphia PA and that random one in NJ that we went to! read more

Ahh Labor Day Family-style burgers available 7 days a week from 11am to 10pm--excellent! Patties are handmade and served on your typical burger bun. Ordered my burger stack with tomatoes and lettuce. Pretty basic, but the tomatoes were not quite ripe. The fries were pretty damn good, but did get a couple of undercooked ones. Oh and total props for having Cherry Coke--Coca Cola's most under appreciated soda type. Place was mostly clean. Some people are just so freakin messy you know! But the kid behind the counter, the one with the nose pierce, pretty on top of his game. When people were not at the register, he was sweepin and cleanin away. He even sorted the condiment trays and made sure the right condiments were in the right compartment. Totally awesome imo. Give this kid a raise! The chick behind the counter was meh. She could have used a hair tie as her bun was falling down and strands of hair flying everywhere. Luckily she was not the one who made my stuffs. Cooks were total boss. You can see they take care of their area. Food was good. Not the best burger I have had though. I mean it's hard to beat burgers from Lunchbox Laboratory in Seattle, WA. Burgers aren't just made there--they are created! read more

Ok so being from Cali, we're all about the In-n-Out Burgers. But when my boyfriend took me here for dinner, I was blown away. Yeah, sorry In-n-Out but Five Guys is supremely better! The build your own burger aspect is wonderful and I got my burger with grilled mushrooms, lettuce, and tomato! Yum yum yum! It was juicy and the buns were warm and soft. My boyfriend had grilled onions and pickles on his. We split an order of fries which technically can feed 2 people they are that big. Fries were total yum! Melts in your mouth! The place was well kept, clean, and the condiment area was well stocked. I like the fact we can grab peanuts while we wait. And the cute "We love you Five Guys" kids drawings displayed by the pick-up window jazzed the place up. Ok so why didn't I give this place a 5. 1 major reason. The workers are not very happy. No smiles, no thank yous, and certainly no patience for general questions. One of the guests in front of us asked how big were the fries. The girl responded by rolling her eyes and said: "Big ok." When it was our turn, she had a scowl on her face and was clearly put off by the previous guests whose only offense was to ask a simple question. Yeah, not my idea of customer service. So although In-n-Out lacks the quality of handmade patties and hand cut fries, their customer service is phenomenal. They definitely know how to make a customer feel welcome. Plus you can tell that the employees are genuinely happy to be there. Not the case at this particular Five Guys. Recommendations: Bring the same level of quality to your employees as you do your food. Also, milkshakes?! I mean the only real way to eat a great burger is with a milkshake :) read more

Yes it's more expensive. Yes it's worth it. Hit McDonald's if you can only pay for $1 burgers. Staff is always chill. Burgers made to order. Food is done quickly. Delicious. Free peanuts out in the open. Maybe not recommended for people with nut allergies lol. read more

Went to this five guys yesterday. The food was outstanding. fries delicious. milkshake off the hook. Props to these guys, I had me and four of my friends come in and they got the job done, big burgers, lots of fries, even better service. Best five guys I've been to ever. Hats off to them. MADE FRESH AND QUALITY BEST IN NJ read more

Good food and good prices. If you are really hungry and do not want to spend to much money than this is the place to go to. Only reason I gave 4 stars is because I feel 5 lbs heavier after eating here. Would visit again. read more

Burgers are good, fries REALLY good, however, the one bad thing is Lou the manager. She is mean, not understanding, and has 2 of her own children (teenagers) on as managers when there are older, better equipped people who could fill those positions! I would'nt suggest working here as there are better work environments, you'll get your hours cut down to almost nothing (if you aren't fired) because they are getting their butt kicked by Sonic, but if your looking for a good burger, I'd give 'em a try. read more
