Came in again to give them another chance. Still stone cold cheese on my lettuce wrapped burger. By the time the cheese was warm enough to not feel like was everything was cold. I was famished so I ate it anyways but quite honestly the WORST burger I've ever eaten. Don't bother coming here if you can't have your burger on a bun. read more

Five Guys - Cheese still cold and square. It was the same guy who made it last time. - Burgers Near Me - Markham, Ontario

I went to Five Guys for lunch today and really enjoyed it. Very important to know hat the little burger has only one patty and just ordering a normal burger is a double. The portions for fries are also MASSIVE which is especially great if you're sharing. The toppings are free and very yummy so be sure to load up on them. The ordering process wasn't amazing because the person taking mine was easily confused, but it was an overall very good meal. They also have free refills and complimentary peanuts. read more

Five Guys - Little hamburger with little fries - Burgers Near Me - Markham, Ontario

If you're looking for a cheat meal... This is the place lol it's bacon cheeseburger (comes with 2 patties) really hits the spot. Their Cajun fries are also seasoned well and are actually spicy! Very generous portions.. I feel like I won't need to eat for the next few days... (Probably because I also consumed about 1500 calories in 1 sitting). Again, this is a nice place to have a cheat meal and I would definitely come back to treat myself again down the road. :) read more

So disappointed that staff now prepare the food without wearing masks - in the middle of the the 6th wave.

It's great to have a decent burger joint around Markham. Five Guys have their characteristic diner decor with the usual food court table and chairs which are kept pretty clean for how messy the burger can get - because they stuff a lot of toppings in the burger and you're bound to make a mess while eating! I've long found they give you much bigger portions than you'd expect. I always order the small fries because as it turns out they just fill the paper bag with fries anyway regardless of what size it is. The difference between a junior and a regular burger is 1 vs 2 patties, and I'm more than full with a junior burger. Fountain drinks are self served and refillable, which is always great. And of course free peanuts! read more

Love coming here for the double burger with cheese. My god, I actually have cravings for them. Spicy fries are also just as awesome. Of course, you can't forget the free peanuts while you wait! If only hamburgers were healthy, I'd be here everyday! read more

Move over Harveys and South St. Burger and Co., step down from your pews Burger's Priest! There's a new premium burger joint in town and it sounds like a gangbang from an adult film in days' past. I have no idea what the titular Five Guys name comes from, there aren't five guys working in this place, they have actual female staff so it's not misogynistic in nature. What I do know is that they do good burgers! The kind that stays with you long after you have devoured it, the kind that makes you think about it at night on what you are going to have for lunch! Upon walking in to any Five Guys burger joint you immediately sense that you have stepped back in time with the red and shiny white decor, reminding you of the 1950s when these burger and shake joints existed and were a popular to hang out in. The cashier greets you with an enthusiastic welcome and the staff at the back even acknowledges you by calling out to the cashier that you are there if the cashier themselves aren't there to greet you. Now that is attentive service! The selections here are simple: little burger, little cheeseburger, little bacon burger, little bacon and cheeseburger. By little they mean single beef patties, and you can get a "regular" of all these aforementioned burgers, which means they make it a double patty. The prices reflects that too with the most expensive burger on the menu topping out at $8.99 for a regular bacon cheeseburger with two patties. You have a wide choice of toppings to add which are listed on the bright legible menu right above the cashier's head. All the popular toppings that makes a burger are all there, alongside with some more premium toppings such as grilled mushrooms or grilled onions, even BBQ and hot sauces are there. It should more than satisfy your burger's needs. Nothing exotic here though unlike the other burger joint that serves NY Fries... ;) There are also two types of fries, a regular fries and cajun fries which I believe is just a dry spicy rub. Peanut allergy sufferers take note, they use 100% corn oil for their burgers and fries so you are safe but - they also offer free self-serve roasted peanuts for you to munch on while waiting on the side. Upon ordering your burger, you are given an order number at the end of the kitchen counter in which to wait to pick up your burger. Side note: I once got order #66 and immediately thought of the massacre of the Jedi.. (geeky reference, disregard if you do not get what this means.) While you are waiting, you'll notice the absence of trays at the tables, and that's because they do not use any. I think they meant this place to be a take out joint only hence the absence of trays, but not only that, it keeps the overhead costs down and the staff do not have to walk about wiping and collecting trays filled with burger grease. Anyway, after 5-7 minutes or so, your burger is unceremoniously announced that its ready to picked up in a warm brown bag. They encourage you not to close the bag as the hot burgers and fries on the inside will get soggy. The thickness of the burger itself depends on what you ordered as toppings, but for good measure, try not to load up on sauces as it will create a soggy bun top and bottom! I myself will do a bacon burger of which they are generous on the bacon, with ketchup, mustard, lettuce, grilled onions and mushrooms, and pickles. The classic sans tomatoes! I also love that the ketchup counter features plastic Dixie cups with lids so you can save your ketchup later for take out - none of that messy difficult to rip ketchup packs here! On first bite into the burger, you'll find that the beef patty is juicy and succulent, cooked medium rare to medium well as to lock all of the juices on the inside. The texture of the patty is magnificent, one that severely lacks at Harveys these days especially now they have have removed their popular ultra burgers from before. It's thick and tastes like what a burger should be, not the liquid meaty mush that some burger joints try to pass off as fresh meat. A beef patty should not fall apart in my hands as I chow down! Everything is cooked perfectly together - savor the meaty beef juices as it drips onto your hand, mmm finger licking good! This almost, almost justifies the higher priced they ask for in a burger like this. I suppose the size is enough for an average person, but for myself I think it could be slightly bigger. But then again, I'm a bit of a glutton, I just love my burgers done right! The fries are alright, nothing revolutionary or different - definitely try the cajun fries. The drinks dispenser are self serve so help yourself to a refill. The staff will also periodically walk in and about the restaurant when its' not busy to make sure their diners are satisfied and make small talk with you to make sure your burger is to your liking. A definite try if you already have not! Enjoy! read more

I wasn't expecting much from such a big chain, but do they ever put together a mean burger! I had the double cheese burger (really it was a triple since they had an extra patty for some reason and just gave it to me!) with all the toppings except for tomato and mushrooms and it all came together into one giant greasy mass of goodness. I think the handmade patties are really what make the big difference here. The quality toppings also help of course, but there's just something about how the burgers are assembled that put them miles ahead of many of the other chains like Hero Burger. The service is very friendly, and despite the fact that it's in a new plaza, it does a fairly good job of making you feel like you're in a classic hamburger shop, but not in that over-the-top way that Lick's used to go for. It's also quite a large restaurant, so there's lots of seating available, which is probably a good thing considering it was quite busy, even after 9 PM. Once Birchmount is extended south to Enterprise, where the new cinemas are being built, I can see this place staying open much later. read more

For the price, definitely not worth it. Felt like in and out burgers with nothing special and jacked up prices. Did I mention the jacked up prices? At least hero burgers and their ilk give you thick patties with really good toppings. This felt like you went to a friend's place--and not a really good friend--and he tried to feed you his burger grilled from his grill, with burgers with thin patties from a no name brand. Nothing wrong with no name brands. But then that friend tried to ask you for money for each burger and then offered you free peanuts for the stupid price. Then told you drinks and fries were extra and only the fries were good. Staff was friendly, though. That much I can say. read more

If you like real burger you should come to try five guys. I have little bacon burger and share a regular fries with my daughter. Taste good just little bit salty on the fries, next time need order a less salt on fries. After you ate this burger you can't go back to McDonald's , Burger King....etc. =P read more

This place is a really established brand in the USA, and it was fantastic here. They overload you on fries, and unlimited peanuts. I love peanuts. In terms of the burger, it had a Harveys feeling to it. You could get whatever toppings you like, and it was cooked right in front of you. The burgers were great, and juicy, and it wasn't too big. The problem is that it was a little bit pricey for a burger. They don't have combos, but if you order one large fries, it can cover 3 people easily. With all burger places, you can smell the grease. It was your typical burger joint in that aspect. Overall, I will be going back again. read more

Food 3 stars. Service +0.5 star. I didn't order a hamburger. I ordered a veggie sandwich, which came in an untoasted burger bun. There was no veggie patty. In its place were various vegetable toppings. Veggies toppings that came without asking were grilled mushroom, grilled onion, grilled pepper, lettuce and tomatoes. The cashier was generous and helpful. He voluntarily told me that I could order as many toppings as I wanted. So I added jalapeño peppers and mustard. The veggie sandwich was cheap at less than $4. Even without cheese, I was pretty full. As mentioned, the staff was helpful. The food took its time to be ready, but within reason (unlike burger priest). The dining area was clean, but not spotless. I can't help but compare the veggie sandwich against the Harvey's veggie burger. I like the Harvey's one better. I like the cashier/staff here better. But the price here can't be beat. read more

Definitely not the cheapest option to get your fresh burger fix but you'll definitely feel full after all the free peanuts and gigantic portions of Cajun fries. read more

Jan 16, 2016 @ 7 pm. The patrons here on a weekend are usually the spill over from the waiting line next door popular ramen restaurant. One word for the burgers. ..... Mediocre ..... Period Trust me... Peanuts don't go with burgers .. even if they are free. They go with booze. Just ask the patrons at Jack Astors! Thanks for reading my review :) read more

What can I say about this place? The burger I ordered was a double patty one with cheese and my favorite toppings. Each patty is 3.5 oz so one was too few and two really hit the spot! I passed on the fries but ordered a cola and the bill came to $12.50. This was more than I thought I wanted to pay but in the end it's not so bad. The burger was delicious and filling which left me feeling full and happy. If you're looking for a place for a family meal be prepared to pay restaurant prices without restaurant service. I give it a 4/5 stars and would have given it 5 if it were comparable in price to the other fast food burger joints. I'll be back, just not soon. read more

I think of Five Guys whenever I get that sudden craving for fries. I absolutely love Cajun fries and they are so fresh and delicious here! Their burgers are good too but most of the time I would just stop by and get Cajun fries to go. Service is efficient and friendly. The place is well maintained and clean. read more

Wow. What a gong show! Who are they hiring to work here!!? Food is ok but they're super slow and burning the fries! All the patrons are looking kinda pissed off. Jayla who is taking the orders definitely doesn't want to be working and gives attitude to customers coming in! Customers are telling the staff that all the garbage cans are overflowing but they just giggle and laugh it off! Reflects very poorly on the brand identity. Unfortunate. read more

I go to Yoghurtys at this plaza and wanted to go in Five Guys for a while. It always seemed busy and the reviews were ok. I finally went in this Friday. The burgers are way too pricy and not that great. Burger was dry and falling apart. The fries were probably the worst that I have ever tasted. Limp, cold, some burnt, some under cooked. I don't know who would recommend these fries?!! I am from the UK and my father has owned at least one fish and chip shop since 1973, so I know good fresh fries when I eat them! I will not be going here again. Food is not of a good enough quality to warrant these prices. People who go here are just for the hype. Harveys is much better, in fact a whopper from BK is better! read more

Expensive for a burger place. So many fries though! Regular fries are enough for a least 2 people. Burgers were good and well prepared, staff friendly and service was excellent.. I'd rate it higher if not for the price. read more

Finally... After a year of hearing about Five Guys, I get to try their burger at the new Markham location. Stopped by on a Saturday evening, it wasn't by any means busy, no line up... Yey! I got: - Bacon cheeseburger with everything Yes... The burger is simple but quite good! Soft bun, juicy beef and evenly spread out toppings. - fries, also got to try my bro's cajun fries The fries were ok, the cajun ones were overly seasoned... You'll need a lot of ketchup to mask the saltiness. The staff is quick and the food is piping hot. While the burgers are good, I don't always wanna pay $15 everytime I crave the basic burger and fries. Will definitely return if I'm in the area... 3.5 stars PS Does anyone know what up with the peanuts? Do people really eat them? Doesn't seem to go with the burgers or fries. read more

3.5 Stars Better than your average fast food burger for sure. For $8.95 you can get 2 beef patties with cheese and bacon. The cheese was an actual slice of cheddar cheese. Not your typical Kraft sliced cheese you get at the supermarket. The bacon was very nice and crispy and did not have too much fat on it, just the way I like it. Also for $4.95 you can get Cajun style fries which gave the fries an extra kick of flavor. Overall a pretty good burger joint. read more

I'm used to five guys in the UK, I know the brand ands what to expect, this place for what they charge is poor, hardly any sauce or topping put on an overlooked burger. i'll miss this place out the next craving i have for burgers read more

Waited 20 mins for a cheeseburger. The cheese did not melt on top of the patty. Too bad there was a large Skip the Dish order in front of me. The order before me the gentleman swore and cursed the workers there. Not a good experience. I was not mad. Not the restaurant helpers fault and no one likes to be cursed at. read more

Food: 7/10 -- Value: 7/10 -- Service: 10/10 -- Ambiance/Décor: 7/10 The reason this place deserves a review is because the service is so good. This is corny, but I always leave this restaurant feeling great because everyone there is so nice. Unless these were just random letters written on my receipt, the employee in charge of my order yesterday was named Pat. Without exception, I've received super friendly experience from every employee I've interacted with there. Food-wise, I've honestly never understood the craze and could not tell you a Five Guys burger tastes that much better than any other burger I've eaten. The patty is maybe juicier than a Big Mac but now I'm just looking for differences that I didn't immediately notice when eating. They are filling though. I eat a lot and I've resorted to getting the Little Burgers now. I like how they have grilled mushrooms and grilled onions as free topping options. I've tried the regular burgers and the burgers with bacon and I don't really feel like the bacon adds anything. I also usually get a regular size cajun fries, which is always too much but I never learn my lesson. A Little Burger and a Little fries would be enough, especially because they fill the fries container and then scoop another container full into the bag. They're nothing special, but they taste good and sometimes I just crave the cajun flavouring because I'm not familiar with any other place in Markham that does that with their fries. I guess $11 is kind of expensive for a burger and fries (no drink) if you're just looking for cheap fast food, but the service and location are good and parking is always plentiful. read more

Five Guys - Burgers Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Not bad for uptown. Price was a bit crazy compared to what you get out there for burgers these days. Fries were meh, could have been better. But service was good and place is clean. I tried this place out because its close to home, literally a 5 minute drive from where I live in Unionville. I probably would come back here again, but it wouldn't be my first choice since Markham has tons of places to eat. I have nothing negative to share about this place because they serve good food, just a bit pricey for a burger I thought. Overall, great place to hang and relax. Plenty of seating inside. read more

First time trying this location. I'm not sure if it was because of my 10-15 min drive home but my fries were cold and very mushy. Because of this, i'm giving a 3 stars for now until I can try this location again. Based based on the fries i had this time, McD seems better. read more

Came here for lunch today... not my first time... burger patties are pretty small but good. Ordered the bacon burger and can't seem to find the bacon this time... lol Fires are pretty good as well... All in all, not bad... but a bit on the pricey side. read more

Stopped by this Five Guys as the Sensotei Ramen next door was packed! I ordered a burger, large fries and a fountain drink; got the burger fully loaded (though it makes quite a mess) but it was incredibly delicious.. came up to about $18. The fries is a huge portion.. they fill up a cup and then add an extra scoop of fries into the bag. The drinks are refillable as it is self-serve. As with all Five Guys locations, they offer peanuts to munch on while you wait for your meal to be prepared. There is plenty of seating in this clean, well-lit location. read more

The burger is really nice and the toppings are free which is a plus for a burger joint. The seats are not very clean and you can see the watermarks on the tables as they were cleaned with a dirty rag. Overall nice place for a burger and great fries. Friendly staff. Thank you guys read more

We ordered our regular which is two burgers, fries and a drink. It was unusually disappointing because one piece of lettuce was array in the burger but what was worse was that it was already yellow and browning on the sides. I don't know if this is a health hazard but it will definitely change my view on this place. read more

Five Guys - A picture of brown lettuce from their burger - Burgers Near Me - Markham, Ontario

If you're looking for a good quality burger and a good experience, Five Guys is the place. The burgers are fantastic, not too greasy, and the fries are definitely some of the best I've had. The free peanuts to snack on while you wait really add to the experience and I love the atmosphere and decor of a proper burger place. The service was fairly good and they were patient while we placed our orders. It wasn't too busy for 11:30 on a Saturday and we found a table by the windows no problem. read more

This place has pretty good burgers!! I would definitely come back here. Ordered a Hamburger, comes with 2 patties, 3.5oz each, $7.69 plus tax is $8.69. Didn't get a drink, but the fountain pop has unlimited refills. Overall the burger tasted pretty good!! It had a distinct flavour - which I enjoyed. It was greasy and I could tell it wasn't made from high-end pure beef.. But it still tasted really good and satisfying! Giving it 4 stars because the overall price is good value. Don't understand why people are giving this place a low rating because it's expensive.. Otherwise the burger itself would be 3.5+ stars. read more

I always have the bacon cheeseburger, which I think is the best in the city. Service is always great. They just need more reliable payment machines. read more

FOOD - Little Hamburger: The little burgers have 1 patty, whereas the regular burgers have 2. The bun was super soft and nicely toasted, I topped mine with ketchup, lettuce, and grilled mushrooms. The patty was a little dry, but tasty nonetheless and had a great freshly made texture. - Hot Dog: The bun was soft and the hotdog looked like it was flattened and split into two, so instead of the traditional cylindrical shape, it was like a sandwich. Tasty, but nothing special. - Little Fries (Cajun Style): No extra charge for cajun fries, which I liked and the seasoning adds a little kick. The fries are fresh cut and tasted like, well, a real potato. Crispiness is hit or miss, some of the fries were limp and some crispy. The little fries come in a child-sized cup but are stuffed to the brim so I would suggest getting this as a nicely-sized side order. Price: about $22 incl. bottle of water and regular-sized pop. Overpriced. SERVICE - Girl on the cash register was friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, and had a great smile. - There were 3 guys in the kitchen and it was hectic, but they finished orders quickly - After you order, you take a seat anywhere you want and then you pick up at the back counter when they yell out your order # ATMOSPHERE/LOCATION/MISC - Located in the new Whole Foods plaza across from Canada Computers and beside Sheridan Nurseries. - The actual storefront is beside Yogurty's (go for dessert!) - Windows all around make it bright and the establishment is kept really clean (however, it's also relatively new) - There's a large box of peanuts at the back counter, self-serve with a scoop. read more

Burgers is bland and tasteless, relies on toppings. So expensive. Hot dog is tiny and terribly salty. Fries are similar to Harveys, don't compare to New York Fries. Would not go back. read more

I'm a huge fan of burgers, so I really wanted to like this place. I've been there at least 4-5 times now since they opened and more recently just last week. The location is great, ample parking, clean, spacious etc. I'm just not a fan of their burgers. I've tried the little burgers & the double burgers. Neither for me had much taste and I found that the super thin burger & bun were falling apart easily. The fries are pretty good if they're not over fried - by over fried i mean a bit on the dark side where they have a slightly bitter taste and have no flavour except for the peanut oil. I can't take my kids in there because they use peanut oil - which is another negative for me. Also, I don't like the taste of my fries in peanut oil, yes you can actually taste the peanut in the oil. I also can't believe they don't even have gravy for their fresh cut fries!! I got a chuckle when I asked if they had gravy followed by "everybody is always asking for gravy!". 2 burgers, 2 drinks and a large fries set us back almost $40. Really not worth it in my opinion. I think I'll stick to the Burger's Priest - just too bad they won't be opening a Markham location anytime soon. Also, if your kid has a tree nut or peanut allergy - stay clear of this place. Not only do they use peanut oil but also have boxes of peanuts open for customers to help themselves to. Which would mean that if tables aren't properly wiped down - that could be serious trouble for anyone with a peanut/nut allergy. read more

I left 5 guys with one thought on my mind....BRUH!!! got the double cheese burger with the spicy fries (MMMMM....miss them already)....talk about a Trex of a burger....thing was huge and ferocious...the meat was of really tender good quality ....loved it...they have tons of toppings...and the staff is wonderful...just dont go if you have a peanut allergy...i think everything they use has to do with peanuts...haha...i always laugh when i say that word...nvm!! ,,but yaay...5 GUYS for the win!!! read more

Ordered for take out got the bacon cheeseburger with Cajun fries. The burger itself was pretty delicious and personally I love the Cajun fries however I can see how many people complain about the Cajun fries being way too salty. Of course the best part of five guys is the feeling when they overload your bag with the fries! My only issue is the pricing. My only complaint are that the burgers are very pricey with nothing outstanding compared to other great burger joints. read more

Five guys! So this place I've heard a back then and I love burgers so heck let's give it a shot. So I ordered a regular cheeseburger with lettuce mayo and cheese obviously (who doesn't get cheese). My burger comes and I take two bites out of it and I'm thinking.... what is up with my burger. I checked no mayo, oh my god. I didn't order too many topping and no mayo holy smokes. Hopefully it doesn't happen to anyone else but dang I wanted my money back haha. read more

After hearing all the craze about Five Guys, I decided to try it myself. I honestly don't know why people give such raving reviews about it. It is really just an average burger with average fries. I've had way better burgers in the past. It wasn't a horrible burger...but it wasn't spectacular. just...meh...a-ok. read more
