I've been to this location a couple of times and have had a great burger each time! The only reason why I gave 4 stars is because the Coke machines are always out of 75% of the drinks that it can make. I wish they'd fix that issue because that's one of the perks of going to Five Guys. read more

Five Guys - Burgers Near Me - Merced, California

I love this place. Been to this location twice before with friends and I ordered from DoorDash as well. I love the consistency of the burgers and their Cajun Fries. The only I've vice I could find was the wait for the food. I won't mark off points just because you can see that they make the orders fresh. Sometimes the price steers me away, but when I'm ready to spend, I come here. read more

Literally whatever af. Paid my whole weeks worth of hard earned cash on one burger. Plus had to take out a student loan to cop some fries as well. Asked for Cajun fries and they gave me them but they were major bland still. Walked in and it was stupid empty, first sign I should have walked out and gone to in n out. But I went against myself and powered thru and bought something to try it out. Never again. I want my money back. Imma call corporate or something. I'm sad now. read more

My first time at five guys and honestly I was not expecting this place to be amazing ! Like I was shook. I got a cheese burger with mayo, peppers,jalapeños peppers, relish. Also Cajun fries. Even my 5 year old ate everything and he's a very picky eater. 5 stars for sure read more

Five Guys - Best cheese burger in Merced and I don't do fast food but this is fresh. - Burgers Near Me - Merced, California

Unfortunately this will be my first and only visit here. Came back to check it out in town as I no longer live here and I was really disappointed not in the service or anything but the food. It had so much hype and good reviews and awards I was expecting decent food in the very least but the food was a no go for me. My burgers are better then this and I can make them both from scratch and from frozen patties mind you, but really no flavor and fries, good lord they were salty, we ended up throwing them away. So 20 dollars later, I won't be coming back despite the outstanding customer service. read more

Five Guys - a hamburger, fries and ketchup - Burgers Near Me - Merced, California

The food is great but its very pricey. The peanut butter milkshake makes it worth it.

It was my first time here, and I will not be returning. I purchased a large fry. The price was really high. The ladies forgot about us and gave everyone else that was after us their food even though they had ordered a lot more things. We waiting for about 20 minutes until I asked the people next to us that had ordered after us, if they had ordered the same fries we had ordered. He said he had and asked us if we had gotten our order and we said no. So he goes and tells the ladies we had been waiting for a long time and had not received our order (1 large fry). After ten more minutes we finally got what we ordered. The fries were not good and it was definitely not worth the 30 minutes. read more

God, so many whiners in this town! Probably the best burger in merced, cooked perfectly, and yes the bacon is crispy... is there any other way to eat bacon? Almost chipped your tooth? Seriously? Fries were seasoned perfect and the shakes are ridiculously, salter caramel/malt for the win. No it's not the cheapest burger in town but its definitely better than the rest. Thanks for bringing something new to Merced. Hopefully people will grow to appreciate quality over quantity in this town read more

The guy named layne in the back that cooks is the bomb!! Best fries my favorite ! Hamburgers so juicy and amazing Great customer service read more

Over priced and slow service. $22 for a plain burger, cheese burger and 1 order of regular fries. And it's overly fattening for the tiny burger you get. A cheeseburger is 980 calories. 3 people in the lobby, 2 served already, but it took 17 minutes to get my order. Looks like a chill, laid back place to work aka hang out. read more

When I was ordering my food, I asked the cashier if they have a restroom and she told me "No, try other places" but when I try to get soda, the restroom is right next to it =__= read more

This restaurant does not follow 5 GUYS protocol I have been to many five guys restaurants up and down the west coast. First of all I was scrutinized for eating peanuts and dropping the shells on the floor. A double cheese bacon burger, cheese dog ,chocolate.shake $20.00 I.could get get all three items at.H&W for $10.00 This place will never last in merced. How can you charge over $3.00 for a small french fry. They actually measured the amount of fries with a device. In Portland the small order feeds 3 or more people. Good buy 5 guys one and done read more

Best burgers in all of Merced eateries. The beef patties are not frozen, no fillers and no preservatives. The fries are great too. Also, a multiple choice of condiments for your burger. On my second visit, I'm going to try there shakes. Their business is clean, the menu is not cludered and ordering is quick. This is the "BEST BURGER" in Merced. Thank you Five Guy's Burgers. read more

You should put an option to go negative on the stars as that is what this place deserves. My order was taken by some young, punk gal that looked like she couldn't care less. No smile, no nothing. Just plain simple and rude. To top it off, she ruined my order. A burger that should have been made with a single patty with no salt was made with double patties and with extra salt, extra dressing. The fries seemed to been re heated at least 3 times and were saturated with frying oil and tasted horrible. For $14 for a simple burger, that was a total rip off. They seem to also touch money and then use the same gloves to prepare the food. Gross! If you want to throw your money away and get slapped in the face, this is the place for you. read more

First off, I have to say that the prices are ridiculous in this place. If the food was really good, it might justify the cost, but it definitely wasn't worth it. Two double cheeseburgers, two fries, two drinks, and a small hot dog came to $47!! This is a burger chain, not a fancy restaurant. How does this place stay open?? No wonder McDonald's has a line going out to the street and Five Guys is always empty. The burgers were nothing special, and actually were pretty greasy. The Cajun fries were okay, and at least they give you plenty and don't skimp. My husband said his hot dog was overcooked and didn't taste good at all. I do have to say I liked the milkshake, but still don't think it was worth the cost. You could go to Black Bear Diner and have much better quality burgers and fries and pay less. read more

My husband and I went there for lunch for the first time today and we had a great experience! I suffer from Celiac Disease so eating out is always scary but the staff there were so welcoming and helpful they made sure everything was perfect they dont have fried foods and thier buns are on a separate flat top so I felt super comfortable! I am now full and very satisfied I would recommend going there! read more

Spent over $40.00 for four burgers and two orders of fries. I don't mind spending a little more for good food, but let's just say this is average food. Fries tasted like they were redeepfried as some fries were crispy yet some where stale. Maybe one of the employees just refried old fries? Pros: outside dining and clean facility. Also if you add on jalepenos, they are actually fresh cut and very spicy. Cons: for what their charging, burger is not very big. Nothing special about the flavor of the burger or fries. read more

I would leave no stars if I could... so tonight I called in order for pickup and the girl answers and I said I would like to order for pickup she has me start to order I order 4 hamburgers 3 are bacon burgers and I order 4 fries, 2 Cajun and 2 regular, nothing really complicated either and as I start to order the drinks she said this order is to big for over the phone???? But you have my whole order you just need to add the drinks and your done? She said we are extremely busy and can't take this order over the phone, and I need to go place it online only. I understand your busy during this time, but you already have my full order and you could have told me when I called that big orders over the phone we cannot take at this time, don't tell me at the end of ordering... so rude and disappointing since limited options in this town read more

This place has the best authentic tasting burgers in merced. They offer other food options but I'm so hooked on the burgers I have yet to try anything else. I love the fact that you can customize your order free of charge. It is a bit pricey but the food is so worth every penny and you get free peanuts which are also very delicious. If you are looking for a place to get a great burger and fries (cajun fries are amazing) then definitely check them out you wont be disappointed. read more

Best burgers in town! I always order the avocado burger and it is cooked with the same consistency each and every time! Considering how busy this place gets, the wait time is pretty good! Good prices as well! read more

Very friendly staff. I strongly recommend the veggie burger. Wow. What a taste surprise. Grilled onions and portobello mushrooms with burger style lettuce and tomato. Had mine with cheese. Amazing. If you are into a non burger burger, you have to try this. The workers take time to explain the process of the place and make you feel REALLY welcome. Do not leave without a boat of some peanuts, no charge. I will be back! read more

My fiance and I came on January 13th of today the 18th and we ordered food and paid for it on a Green Dot prepaid card and we went back cuz we believe we dropped it somewhere in the restaurant and they said that one of the ladies threw the trash out and blew they saw the card and didn't believe it was anything. Next time maybe they should think about that and realize that maybe even if it's empty maybe the people still needed. I also applied a month before Christmas and the manager told me that he would could give me a call for a first opening and I was told that they hired just three people if he did a few days ago. Manager name Ricky read more

OMG, $23 for a burger, fries, and a shake? AND THEN, the food sucks? Some guys from work we're going to 5-Guys for lunch, I'd never been there, I went. I paid $23 for lunch, Burger King is better. I got the shake, soft serve with flavorings, for $6 bucks. What a piece of S$&7, not impressed. I got the bacon cheese burger, with all the toppings, NOT impressed. I got a regular fri, they didn't tell me there was a Cajun flavor, NOT impressed! TOTAL waste of time and money! read more

Pricey? Yes..Quality? Merced location 50/50. I say that because I feel like its a hit or miss sometimes. I love the flavor but it seems like once you add more toppings the odds of them missing something increases. Pros: amazing soda machine, topping options, gooey cheese, ton of fries. Cons: they forget the bacon "sometimes", the price can shoo you away. I say always try it once and go from there. I wish fuddruckers was still around. read more

Excellent Juicy Burger Love Them Idaho Potatoes. Music TOO Loud To Enjoy Your Company read more

It is overpriced. No Meal option. Burgers are subpar as well as the fries. The smallest order of fries far exceeds (in portion size) what any fast food chains would consider a large. Perhaps this is why they justify charging you so much? I don't know, really. The soda machine is cool but the drinks are a little off as well. In total I spent a bit over $13 for a double burger, small fries and small drink. Not worth it at all. You're much better off going to in n out, in my opinion. Better tasting, cheaper, fresher, and a simple menu as opposed to a build-your-own burger (on the spot) kind of menu that five guys has read more

The food is no better then inNout. I just paid 40$ for two little cheeseburgers and two bacon burgers and a lrg fry. we could've had a feast at dennys for the price. I was the only person ordering and they still messed my oder up! TURN THE F-IN MUSIC DOWN!!!! it was supposed to be 2 little cheeseburgers and 4 bacon burgers but thank goodness because i woulda spent around 55$ for 6 burgers and one lrg fry!!!!! I will never go backPERIOD read more

I took my son and 2 friends here. 4 burgers and one large french frie. outrageous. Burger was nothing above average. Fries were luke warm... service was not great. Could have gone to in n out and got full meals for less.. read more

To the guy or girl who said people should quit whining... I wonder how you would react if you went in there and spent $30 on bacon burgers and got home and there was no bacon on either burger.... I also wonder how you would take it if they had charged you for something u didn't order and didn't receive either ... I'm still wondering how much YOU would be whining if you called them to let them know and they kept promising to talk to the manager and "make it right" but never did and you tried to keep in contact to no avail...would YOU still be giving them a glowing review????? read more

my hot dog came in a burger bun but honestly it was pretty good so we'll take it. this is a five guys you know what you are getting and this one is pretty solid read more

First time here and I really liked it! The staff is super friendly and willing to help you through the ordering process. I ordered the little bacon cheeseburger with little fries and regular drink (it was not little lol). My burger was about the size of an in n out burger. This is also the first time I ever eaten a bacon cheeseburger where the the bacon is actually crispy! I wish they did offer different types of cheese considering how many toppings and sauces they have. Also, RANCH! it would've been even better if they had ranch. Lol It is pricey, my overall total was about $12 dollars but it is a good burger place with great customer service. read more

Thought this was going to have great burgers since my friend had so much hype about it. I was disappointed, though because the burgers were expensive yet lacked flavor compared to In-N-Out. I have no idea why this chain is doing so well, but the only thing they have going for them are the fries, sufficiently salted. read more

Although they are not cheap, great hamburgers and fries! Probably more fries than you need. Excellent variety of condiments for burgers and all prepared out in the open. Staff are friendly and aim to please. Free peanuts while waiting is a nice touch too. Store is neat and clean. A good choice for burgers and fries. Good drink selection, although I wasn't impressed with the "banana" shake. read more

Can't believe how many people are complaining about the price. Husband and I spent about what we do at Carl's Jr. and ended up with way better tasty burgers and way too many fries. All the free toppings are totally worth it and if you are a plain burger person then that will be where you have a problem. We were afraid to even bother trying Five Guys because of all the whinny reviews saying it's too expensive. By the way, we placed our order online and was super easy and food came out perfect. Ordered a bacon double cheeseburger and a cheeseburger and a large fry. Like I said though, the large was more than enough for us both and we are pretty hefty eaters. read more

The burgers were meh and so were the frys ..feels like another wimpys yaknow.. the atmosphere is cool, and there are benches outside witch is nice.. they have the bags of fry's in the dining room so you know nothing is fresh. read more

This restaurant just opened. Very clean but seems a bit disorganized. When you order your food, there really is no place set aside for you to wait, and it took awhile to get our order. Boxes of peanuts cluttered up the place, and customers didn't really seem to be eating them. I'd rather have the space used for those waiting for their food. $27 for 2 cheeseburgers 1 reg fries and 2 large iced teas. Not cheap. The burgers were juicy but not flavorful at all. Needed to add a lot of salt. Fries were good but again, not much flavor. Bottom line = In-N-Out easily beats these guys. All 5 of them. Their burgers taste better. They are WAYYYY better organized. They are cheaper too. Won't be going back. Sorry but it just ain't worth $27. read more

This is not a good place how are you going to charge 14.00 or so for a burger fries which are not good and a drink ..five stars is good there burgers and fries are so amazing may b if this place had the right size burgers and good non soaked grease fries ... read more

All the times that I have visited Five Guys the customer service has always been great. The food is pricey considering all the cheaper hamburger restaurants in Merced but saying that the hamburgers are delicious. But what really keeps me coming back are the Cajun fries and the shakes, they are consistently the only foods that will satisfy my food cravings. The location of the restaurant is also why I go here, it is near the university which makes it easy to get a quick meal before I head to class. Overall, it is pricey and if I had time I would go else where but since it is near the university...why not? read more

They have definitely raised their prices since I ate in the bay area. $14 for 2 "little" cheeseburgers? Burger was average. Too much mustard. Way too small of a space for all the people here. Oh, and the bacon was hard as a rock and almost chipped my tooth twice. After waiting 20 minutes for the privilege once is enough for me. Probably won't be back. read more

This is by far the worse place of business I've ever been to. For being such a well known brand, the food was subpar at exorbant prices. I went during the first week it opened and just yesterday. The atmosphere has went from bad to unbearable, the management and the vibe is entirely different. From what I gather workers were being let go in large numbers due to lack of profits, and whoever is left are being given abysmal hours forcing them to choose between an hourless job or unemployment. These types of business practices utterly disgust me. I'd much rather give my money to a better, inexpensive restaurant that treats their workers like human beings, and doesn't treat their customers like idiots. read more
