If you want a really good burger, this isn't your place. If you want a really fast burger, go next door (McDonald's). If you want something in between; pretty good and fairly quick, 5 guys is always a solid choice. The patties are thick and only cooked after you order. Don't expect to be able to request a temperature, you get medium well/well done. It's not that fancy of a place. The fries decent, I like them anyways. They are usually on the greasy side, a handful is good for me. They fill whatever size cup (fries come in a cup) and then throw another scoop in the bag. Nice if you like extra fries. Bad if you don't like French fry grease soaking through to your car seat or carpet if you're taking out. read more

I love this place for a quick bite to eat. The toppings are fresh and complimentary to the burgers. One big plus is the fries! I always order a small and they give you a very full cup and basically another cup "spilled" in the bag. Great food for a chain! read more

We decided to give Five Guys a try since we had never been and we were right by it in town and we weren't disappointed, in so many ways, Five Guys is like an old burger joint, the burgers are great and grilled really nicely, the fries are a little low on the salt side but you can actually tell they're real potatoes. The shakes are really good. Even have the option of making an old school malt with the malted milk add in. Really great. Highly recommend. read more

Excellent food! Excellent staff! This a a very expensive place, but more than worth it in the end. I have been many times, and the staff has never looked unhappy to be there (I have worked in food before, and I could never master faking happiness about being at work). read more

I teetered on a 3 or 4 star rating and I'm leaning more towards the four star rating. Reasons for a 4 star rating: Food is great, be sure to get the burger with two patties or you may find yourself leaving unsatisfied. One order of fries is plenty enough to share. Cajun fries are OK, but too salty. I'd stick with the regular fries. A bunch of toppings to choose from at no additional cost. Reason for a potential 3 star rating: Way too expensive for a burger and fries place. Would be different if the patties were thicker, but I guess they have to make up the cost of the free toppings and free peanuts somewhere. read more

I'm sad that I was disappointed. The food is just okay. While I appreciated the topping options the burger was underwhelming and certainly not worth the price. The decor is extraordinarily off putting. I felt like I was sitting in a Frisch's bathroom the whole time. I think that A&W produces a better burger and dining experience for those looking for Americana. read more

The best fast food burgers in Lexington! The prices are a tad high for fast food, but you do get a higher quality meal for the little extra money. You'll pay a couple dollars more than you would at a Wendy's or McDonalds, but you can taste the difference. Service is also just a tad slower than other burger joints, but it's because things are made-to-order, not sitting around under a heat lamp all afternoon. They have a long list of toppings you can get on a burger, you can customize your burger just about however you want. If you (or your kids) would rather have hot dogs, they have those too, but burgers, hot dogs and fries is all they have on the menu (they do only a few things, but they do them VERY well). The dining room is a little spartan, to be sure, but you're there for good burgers, not flashy ambiance. The fries are great. Real fries made from real potatoes (and a gimmick of having a sign saying where today's fries were grown), and ample portions of those fries. When you order fries, you'll get what you pay for. I was tempted to call this a 5 star place, but ultimately it is a fast food place, and isn't to the same five-star standards as a fine dining restaurant, but just among fast food this would be five stars easily. Highly recommended for a quick and good bite if you're in the neighborhood. read more

Very disappointed in Five Guys on Nicholasville Rd. Took the wife and kids about 6 weeks ago. The fries were undercooked and nasty and one burger was so burnt it was unedible. My daughter then asked if we could go next door to McDonalds for a burger. Ugh! There is no kids menu so for myself, the wife and children and the bill was a steep $50. This is a burger place with no alcohol... that's right $50. I called and emailed both local mgt and national corporation but never received any response whatsoever. Hey, that's ok... if they don't want to respond its no issue for me. I'll take my $50 elsewhere for lunch and make sure I leave reviews so others don't fall into the same pit. read more

I heard the hype about this place, so I had to stop in. I'm glad I did, this is definitely the best burger in town. Culver's comes close, but FG gives much more bang for the buck, and in the end it wins on taste too. Getting to choose toppings at no extra charge is icing on the cake. Steak fries aren't really my thing, but these are still pretty good, and the portion is big. read more

I really want to like Five Guys. Really. But I've been rather disappointed in my four or five meals at the Lexington location since they opened a year or so ago. I've eaten at Five Burgers up and down the east coast, and the Lexington location seems to have more to learn. My usual order (small [one pattie] cheeseburger with regular fries and drink) comes to $8.77--a premium price for what is essentially fast food. The regular french fry serving is easily enough for three people, and they're flavorful, but they're also limp and consistently undercooked. The burgers are so-so even though they're individually prepared. Here's hoping the Lexington location will improve with age. read more

Some great hamburgers are served here. Large selection of toppings to choose from. More fries than you could possible eat. A hamburger, french fries and a drink run about $9. Gets busy during lunch and dinner. I recommend the bacon cheeseburger with the works. read more

Five Guys - Bacon Cheeseburger with the works. Yes, those are the amount of fries you get too. - Fast Food Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

The service was fast and friendly. The inside of the restaurant was freezing cold, so the outside dining area was a welcome retreat. We enjoyed a great, fast burger, fixed exactly the way we ordered, and Cajun fries (that had a little too much Cajun seasoning for my liking). My son was excited to find out they will add bacon to any milkshake (as his theory is "bacon makes everything better"). He said the shake was really good. read more

Five Guys makes a mean hamburger. I went on a Saturday afternoon and the line extended out the door... so understandably my food was not exactly 'fast' food. That said, I love the simplicity of the overhead menu ... that leads to the complexity of imaginative combinations - little? (1 patty). regular? (2 patties). mushrooms? sauteed onions? a1 sauce? ask for them to sautee some green peppers for you? hell yes. and it's free. you can have whatever you like ... !! While you wait for your burger to achieve its juicy potential, feel free to munch on the free peanuts. They're fun to shell and taste like ... peanuts... The fries are alright. Mmm... you get a lot for a regular and the 'cajun' order just means they sprinkle some cajun seasoning on it - not that exciting. Also, a word of advice overheard from another patron, "I drove around this joint five times looking for a drive-through! Apparently they don't have one!" So save gas and just park your car. :) read more

One of the best burger places in Lexington. The burgers were juicy, with a huge choice of toppings, fries are always overflowing in the bag. It is a fairly casual restaurant. You stand in line, place your order, pick up your food when called, and can get a free tray of peanuts which you can snack on and most people will throw the shells on the ground. Fries are good. Burgers are very good. All for a pretty good price too. You can get a junior burger for cheaper which has one patty or the regular which has two. I always love coming to this place! read more

They were very professional and accommodating for our large crowd-even a minute before they closed! Love this chain specifically this location read more

Excellent burgers - we enjoy it about 1x per month. The wait can be longish when busy, so we call in our order before leaving the house. We always do take out. read more

So, I'm embarrassed to say I was late to the party because this place is really good! I don't eat fast food often but I will eat here often! Service is fast, courteous & food is great. Place could be cleaner but it was busy. read more

Best burger and fries in Lexington in my opinion. Great price for them too. For less than $10 you get a huge burger and a giant side of fries (highly recommend getting them with Cajun seasoning) read more

So good...I want a burger just thinking about it. In short, you are paying for the real deal. Not random McDonald's or other fast food burgers. It may take a bit longer since they are actually cooking the thing fresh. The taste is wonderful and you can have as many toppings as you want. Also fries galore. Not only do they give you a huge thing of some of the best fries ever but they toss a whole bunch in the bag as well! It's like Christmas but with potatoes!!! read more

The food was amazing and the service outstanding! We arrived 5 minutes to close 10 of us. They treated us so well no rushing fo to closing and never made us feel that our race was an issue. read more

It's awesome it's probably for mostly fat people or people who love food, some days I feel like I need junk food and a pond of juicy food

Cheerful staff. Love the fries, nothing better than the yummy seasoning and generous portion! The always available peanuts while waiting for the food are an added bonus. Orders a promptly made and fresh. A single criticism would be the cleanliness of the place, specifically the bathrooms. The floor is sticky and your feet slide. May be using the same mop as for the greasy kitchen? read more

I've ate at a lot of burger joints but this is the first time that I've ever felt like I needed to post anything. Five Guys is the best burger place and I wish I had one to go to in Louisa KY, the food is fresh and you won't be disappointed it's absolutely the best. read more

I've been saying for 2 years now that I'd like to try Five Guys, everybody was raving about it including our president. (Obama) I finally tried it yesterday and I definitely want disappointed! The burgers are great, and their BBQ sauce is to die for. Their fries are very unique, you can tell they're from fresh cut potatoes. The service was very fast, and the girl who took our order was very pleasant and recommended things to us when we told her we had never been there before. You also get free peanuts while you wait! I will definitely be returning, and would recommend this place! read more

I visit this location regularly. I have to eat gluten free and they do a nice job. French fries are incredible and service in my opinion is great for a bunch of kids. They treat you right. Only complaint is the temperature. It is hard to find a nice warm seat, air conditoning is always blasting which makes seats cold, food get cold quickly. BTW, seats are very uncomfortable. But, food is great! read more

Best burgers in town by a long shot! Massive amount of tasty fries, huge burgers loaded with whatever you like. A fat man's paradise!! Highly recommend. Cost is more than reasonable for the quality and quantity of food you get. read more

Not quite "In and Out" burgers but pretty close and obviously modeled after them right down to the decor. Really good burgers and fries. My only complaint is I get my burgers wrapped in lettuce and they are really inconsistent with how they prepare their lettuce wrapped burgers. Sometimes served in a bowl-like container which is easier to eat and sometimes wrapped in foil. read more

I have heard SO MUCH hype about this place, so while driving around Lexington looking for shelter from a rainstorm, my boyfriend and I decided to stop in. The burgers were certainly good, as were the fries, but I wouldn't say they were awesome, and certainly not the best I've ever had by a long shot. I can think of two places off the top of my head that have a better burger than this. However, for a chain restaurant that is really just a teensy step up from a drive-thru, the food is good. It was a little pricey, and the atmosphere was pitiful. The whole place is done up in red and white, with faux-wood chairs that are actually metal. I would challenge you to find an independent, local burger joint before making this place your go-to. You'll probably be pleasantly surprised. read more

This place has really gone downhill since they first opened. Went there recently and was so excited to take a friend who had never been; we both left unsatisfied. The burger was tasteless, the fries were just ok. So sad. read more

Great burgers with toppings the way you want. Great portions. The fries are from real potatoes not those synthetic things they call fries from those more famous chains. read more

Awesome as always. Love the bacon burger & abundance of fries. Fast, fresh & always friendly!

Way overpriced, and doesn't live up to its reputation. Good selection of toppings. $24 for two burgers wrapped in aluminum foil and a bag full of fries and 2 drinks. read more

tons of fries burgers made to order and yeah, if you want a burger, they got your burger read more

Thank god we finally got a good burger place in Lexington. For so long we have be home of the crappy burger but now we have five guys. Thanks five guys for bring good burgers to Lexington. It is a bit pricey. read more

Food is incredible, music sucks.

Not the worst burgers, but pretty close, especially for the money. I'm surprised they're still around, if what I just got is representative of their product. The meat, though dry, was okay, but the bun and veggies were simply mediocre to poor. The fries are very good, but are not enough reason for me to go there. You may want to think twice. Lexington has many alternatives that beat Five Guys hands down. read more

You can get a good burger and fries in many places in Lexington, but not this variety, quality and value. And the customer service at this particular location is always excellent. Highly recommend. read more

Five Guys is not 'fast food' speed, but it's pretty close. The quality is far above any similarly priced burger and fries. I got a water, regular fries, and a cheeseburger for under $8.00. I like the wide variety of toppings, which are all available for no additional charge. I like the bags of potatoes used as decor. No frills, but the food speaks for itself. Totally satisfied and looking forward to visit #2. read more

I really like Five Guys. I'm tempted to give 'em 5-stars, but they're a bit pricey, so I'm go with 4 for now. Burgers are big, taste good, my personal wait times have been short. They can make your burger any way you like it. No problems! read more

Great, great burger and even better toppings. Load it up with grilled mushrooms and grilled onions, some hot sauce and mayo, and then have them cut it in half. My only suggestion is to add a small fry to the menu. I'm a big eater, but that's more fries than any body hoping to avoid a heart condition should eat in one sitting. read more
