I had a hankering for a burger and asked my kids where we should go. Unfortunately we decided on Five Guys. The place was relatively empty on a Friday at 6:30pm. Looking back I wonder if that was a clue. We went ahead and ordered our burgers and upon paying turned to see if we could find a table to sit while we waited. I was very surprised at how many tables were very very dirty. So I asked the guy at the counter if he could have someone come out and clean off a couple of tables. He looked at me as if I was speaking a completely different language and never came out to wipe down a table. We finally found a high top table and we crammed around it to eat our sandwiches.. which were not prepared the way we had ordered... strike 2. The burgers were very lackluster and not flavorful, as they claim. I've had better burgers at fast food joints and I avoid those places like the plague. Strike 3. I won't be coming back to Five Guys. Try Jackson Ave Pub instead. I'm kicking myself. read more

Five Guys - Filthy - Burgers Near Me - Naperville, Illinois

See all

Five Guys is a pretty good burger. My favorite burger the Naperville was the Red Door Tavern but that place is long gone. That being said I used to run a burger review site so I know what I'm talking about. Five Guys is a good griddle burger. When you order a burger it is a double. A "little Burger" is a single. You can get your burger with pretty much any topping you want, but I like A1, mayo, and grilled onions. The burger was juicy and big. The meat is a little crispy cooked almost to well done. But with the fresh bun and high fat content, the burger was moist and delicious. The kid got a cheese sandwich and I didn't get a bite of that because he ate the whole thing. After this burger you need a nap. The fries are very good. They are fresh cut, and fried in peanut oil. Fried almost to well done they are crispy and flavorful. Loaded up with salt you can dip in ketchup or the provided malt vinegar. This is very good. If you have peanut allergies I would stay away because there are free peanuts to scoop while you are waiting and eating your food. The place is big with fill your own drinks and very clean. I would definitely say that this place blows Meatheads out of the water. A little expensive ($23 for 2 adults and kid) but a good burger while downtown Naperville. Between the fries, peanuts, and burger you are going to be mighty thirsty so make sure you hydrate when you leave. read more

This is a solid burger place and you can't hate the plethora of complimentary items - peanuts, burger toppings, peanut containers... I guess that is it. The burgers are big (double patty is standard, greasy (which is good), and made fresh to order. The fries could always use an additional minute in the fryer, but that's okay - they gave you a shload of them so quit complaining. The one thing I really don't like is the interior. Stark white with lots of stupidly obscure quotes and accolades about the chain. Oh I didn't know the Cleveland Independent Times said the burgers here are great! That shit sounds made up and I don't really care. When did I become such a grizzled jerk? read more

This chain needs to pack it's ass up and go back to the east coast. Yeah, the burgers are good, but why is anyone paying this kind of price? I've gotten burgers twice as good for a couple dollars more with a side and a drink. I've gotten burgers almost as good for half the price. Seriously, $6 for nothing but a grease ridden cheeseburger that's not even all that filling? And you fools paying the price of this crap are just encouraging inflation in the midwest to New York prices. But maybe they put something in the peanuts that's got you addicted. i didn't have any. read more

It was my first time visiting this Five Guys and let me tell you guys, my experience at this place is really great, and unforgettable. All of their food here is exceptional! I highly recommend to try their burgers. It is so meaty, fresh, and made to perfection. You will absolutely love how great is the taste of their burgers. In such an affordable and fair prices, you can actually try everything you want on the menu. Order all the food that made your mouth waters. Their portions here are really great and sized. Really perfect spot to fill your tummy up. They also offer so many different comfort foods. All of the food that can really satisfy your cravings and make you satisfy. I recommend this place to those people looking for such a great and amazing place to hang-out with friends, bonding with family, and even just to treat and relax yourself. Thank you Five Guys for wonderful service! Your place is really worth visiting. Will definitely come back soon! Thank you and fantastic! read more

Can someone please tell me what is up with this place? Not just this location, but Five Guys in general. Did these guys sell their souls to the devil to turn a profit? To make girls run screaming for the place? I get the concept...you pay a certain price for a burger, and you get pretty much anything you want on it. That's pretty sweet. But I guess I'd like it better if the burger was really good. It's just ok. Maybe I'm being a burger snob here, but I just don't get the hype!! I'd rather pay more money somewhere else, pay for the individual toppings that I want, and get something that is truly satisfying. I think their cajun fries are way, WAY too over-seasoned. I keep ordering them hoping for something different, but they turn out the same every time. But, I'm not going to knock this location. The people here are always very friendly and quick to get you your food. They also put up with drunk late night people really well. So I'll give the place 3 stars, since they have polite, patient staff. read more

First off, this place gets 5-stars for treating me to one of the tastiest burgers I have eaten. It was really, really good. Mmm! MMM! I will be back and very soon. If you like great burgers come here. That's all you need to know... the rest of this review is just filler. Walking in this place looks almost like a cafeteria with tall tables. Large sacks of peanuts line the path around the sitting area and lead up to the register. Peanuts are free so feel free to bring Stampy (gratuitous Simpsons reference). Their regular cheeseburgers are doubles. Get it. Don't go with the half cheeseburger and figure that with fries and a drink you'll be full. Sure, you will be, because the regular fries are enough for two people, but you'll be sorry you don't have more delicious burger after you inhale it in two seconds. I can't say it enough, this is a great burger. Mmm, I wish I would have ordered one to go. Also, the fries a pretty good. They are cooked in peanut oil, so you don't have to feel completely guilty when you polish off an order. Although, I guess whatever is gained by the cooking method is easily lost when consuming such a large quantity. I would have to say that this place can get a slightly pricey, but it's not as bad as a few burger places I've been to in the city. So, that, coupled with a far superior burger, makes this place a no brainer. Go, get one for you and one for a friend - it'll make their day. Even better, get one for you and one for an imaginary friend... and keep all the deliciousness for yourself. read more

Let me first say that I came in this place with very high expectations when it first opened. In fact, they hype grew as I was waiting in the rather long line because they had various new articles on the wall that were crowning them the best burger on the east coast and stuff. the verdict? it's a pretty good freakin' burger. I'm not sure what it is..maybe the fresh, never frozen meat...or all of the condiments that you can load on (at no additional cost)..or maybe it's the way that they wrap it in tin foil - (reminds me of being at a cookout or something). I thinkiIt is the meat itself that makes them good - just good tasting meat - you dont really need to add a lot of stuff on it other than the standard lettuce, tomato, onion - ketchup optional. I'm actually not a big fan of their fries - to salty for my taste - and pretty expensive! -although they do give you a lot. The drinks are overpriced too. I do like the fact that they have peanuts all over the place - sure would suck to have a peanut allergy in that place...you're almost assured a swift death... Overall, i'd say it's worth the trip to downtown naperville and battle it out to find parking. I am rather partial to our local Portillos burger over this one, i believe - but they're 2 different things. Portillos is cooked over a flame..and this place cooks them on a big hot metal slab/oven. I would take portillos fries over theirs any day I should also mention that i've been to Cali and had their highly hyped in and out burger...before I knew it was such a big deal..and the results...i dont really remember..that must mean that it wansn't anything special. I'll have to try it again when i go out there later on this year. read more

Whats not to like? The overly loud music blaring while eating..and they even pipe it to the out door seating - so there is no escaping it. The burgers are top notch and they basically give you double the fries you order. In not a huge fan of the fries, they are just ok. They also have pretty good hot dogs as an option. And as others noted..free peanuts...so thats a big + in my book! read more

Freaking disgusting we were in line waiting to order and then all of a sudden one of the cooks goes to the trash and pushes down the trash with his arms all the past his elbows were in the trash bin. I get he may put on new gloves but we didn't see him clean the rest of his arms that were just in the trash. Don't be gross and cook and handle people's food. Never worth going back. read more

The burgers are good, the fries are mediocre. The inside is very dull and I didn't feel comfortable chilling there while I ate my burger. And seriously... 11$ for a burger/fries/drink? I can go to Connie's and get the pizza buffet for 11 dollars after tipping. Will not be going back here. read more

With all the hype that has been surrounding Five Guys, I was expecting a lot more. When I lived in California In n Out was the place to go, and it tasted great with limited options. So when I heard that Five Guys was similar, I was so excited. The menu looks great - there are lot of options to customize your burger, you have a choice between cajun and regular fries, etc. However, I felt that my burger, even with the toppings, wasn't anything special. The fries were so-so as well, almost dry. After the first time there, I tried Five Guys a couple more times, just in case I went there on a bad day. But I felt the same each time - it's just OK. I guess they just aren't for me! read more

As far as burgers go, nothing less than 5 stars would be acceptable from anyone reviewing this place. Right up there with a Portillo's burger . . . yeah, I said it. Too add to that, they have free peanuts you can scoop out of the many boxes lining the store. Toppings are free as well. If you are looking for a salad, go some place else. But like I said, can't beat the burger. read more

I love Five Guys Burgers.....this location was clean and the staff was very helpful in advising me on what to order. This place has passed up Portillos as my favorite burger place. Burgers are made like they should be greasy and full of meat. read more

I asked my son where would you like to go for dinner the day before your first 8th Grade highschool football game! He said- FIVE GUYS! I was like oh my but then I go with him and have the little burger, degreased it and had all the veggies on it (YUMMY). Then I had the cajun fry's, LOVE THEM. My 13 yr old had the burger, we shared the small fry and had TONS left. So I have to say it is the BEST burgers. The Two Brothers Tap house burger in Wheaton is still the VERY BEST to me and my little guy. read more

It's good....but it's no M**the@ds. I only wish I lived closer to the other place which forces me to go to Five Guys. Not a huge loss as Five Guys is good but just not the best. I do like the Hot Dog at Five Guys very much. Great location in Naperville. Big store with plenty of seating. I hate to say this but one thing I may not like is how big it is...almost too big. You can order a single for smaller appetites but that just isn't me. I do like that you can have them put A-1 steak sauce on the burger. Not too many places offer that. Will go back and do recommend but if I had the choice I'd go to the other place that they don't like us to speak of. read more

I have gone in there at least twice and the place was filled with smoke and people were waiting up to I have a hour for their food. I cannot fathom how it would take that long to make a burger, let alone the wrong one, let alone cold and overdone. most overpriced piece of poop on a bun I've ever tasted. Do not come here. read more

So I was dying of hunger and because my usual place unexpectedly closed early, I decided to pop in. I immediately noticed that the prices are higher than the average chain. I ordered the little cheeseburger which wasn't little, but decent sized to be honest. The music was a bit loud and the staff a little rowdy. The reason I rate this place somewhat low is because I think it's ridiculous to pay almost 5 dollars for small fries. And no, I don't care if they're fresh or high quality, that's far too expensive. Overall, it was decent, but I will not be coming back again. read more

Came here on a Saturday night right before a 10 pm show at the Comedy Shrine, they're both in the same strip. I was a little worried because it was 15 minutes til close and nobody else was ordering food. I didn't wanna be a bogus customer, but I was hungry!!! To my surprise, the person who took my order didn't rush me! He was very helpful, I've never been there or knew of their menu. He answered all my questions and really made me feel like I made a solid choice. I got a little burger and some fries. A little burger is one patty and a burger is a double patty. The burger was awesome, but the fries were very salty, you can tell they were fresh cut though. Oh I will be back, next time I want a hot dog, supposedly they fry them flat on the griddle. I've never heard of the place, but they definitely made an impression. Simple menu, burgers, hot dogs, fries, and a good value. Oh, they offer free peanuts while you wait for your order. read more

I had heard a ton of good things about Five Guys from numerous sources. Stumbled upon this location at halftime of a North Central football game. You come here for the Burgers and Fries. I only got a burger, but I had a ton of free peanuts as well. Their regular burgers are 2 patties, so if you don't have the appetite, get the little burger. They also give a huge amount of fries even in the small size. Come hungry, you'll get your fill. Don't intend on eating healthy here. read more

To be honest Five Guys is very expensive for a quick service burger restaurant. I will say that I love the food, but my trips are limited because of the price. If you want to get a good burger it is a reasonable choice. This Five Guys location and most if not all of the other locations have those new soda machines, which look cool but are kind of annoying. My coke always tastes like a mixture of all of the different kinds of pop and I'm not a fan of that. It's a decent place overall though and it plays pretty good music while you eat. read more

Having heard about this place for so long I was glad to finally see one open in Naperville. The burger was great - almost makes me forget about living 1500 miles from an In n Out. However, I didn't really care for the fries too much. Really plain atmosphere inside. The free peanuts are nice, but for a fast food place, the rest is very pricey. The burger itself is what saved it from a two star rating. read more

Came into Five Guys on a rainy morning about an hour after they opened. I immediately noticed how clean and bright the restaurant was. I was greeted immediately and helped through the order process by very friendly staff. The burgers take 7-10 minutes, but they tell you that right away. The food was absolutely worth the wait. Burger was very juicy, perfect and tasty bun with crisp pickles and juicy tomato. Great experience, thanks Five Guys crew! read more

Great food but recent price increases seem excessive. My husband just came home with his lunch, a Cheeseburger, Little Fry, and a regular soda, no extras. $17.29 ($9.25, $3.99, $2.55, $1.50 tax). There are quite a few check 2020 menu price sites and the "Cheeseburger" at Five guys was around $7.70 and the little Fry was $3.09. Can't wait until we can go sit at a bar and get a burger with fries and a tall beer for a few bucks less than this fast food. Go away pandemic! read more

This location has gone downhill. The last two times I've been here the fries are undercooked and the quality seems to be less. Dissatisfied lately. read more

I was disappointed, the burgers are advertised to be well done and juicy but on this night they weren't juicy at all. Is "well done and juicy" a contradiction in terms? The fries were good. For those of you who are familiar, in my opinion there is no comparison between Five Guys and either In-N-Out Burger or Fatburger. Five Guys is equivalent to Meathead, neither are distinguished and I think they both fail the price/value test. Also, the service is too slow; sure, they cook to order but 10 minutes is a bit long to wait for a simple burger/fry order. read more

I haven't been to a Five Guys in over 5 years and I had a hankering for a triple bacon cheeseburger! I recently became addicted to bacon and it has consumed me in every way. My order consisted of: 1. A bacon cheeseburger with an extra patty, lettuce, tomato, raw sliced onion, and BBQ sauce. 2. Large cajun fries. My husband got the bacon cheese dog which looked incredibly appetizing. He also ordered the little cajun fries, which, of course, we combined mine and his fries into the same bag. HUGE! The aroma that filled the restaurant as they deliciously prepared every meal was simply to die for! Staff are extremely helpful and quick when placing the orders in the system. Food was ready to go in under 5 minutes. My burger was fantastic, especially with the added BBQ sauce! The only complaint I have is that while consuming the burger, onions and lettuce began to drop off the sides of the bun and the bread became too soggy and fell off, which is fine because I'm not a fan of carbs. While it was very messy, it was too delicious for me to be bummed about the sogginess. My husband loved his bacon cheese dog, but I think the fries are the #1 hit in every meal. We even have some left over that we can dig into tomorrow, as well! Also, the atmosphere is very open and inviting. As you wait for your meal to be ready, there are unlimited barrels of peanuts to eat at your leisure. Plenty of tables to sit and eat or to wait for your meal. They have the freestyle coke machine so you are able to pick whatever flavor soda or juice you want, which is partly my favorite part of coming in! Overall, friendly, clean, and delicious place to eat. No regrets here! read more

So close to the first review! This place is good. Burgers are good, lots of free topping options, fries are great, and the fountain drink selection is a winner. So, first off, the "regular" burger is two patties. The "junior" is one, as Che has noted. I made the assumption that the regular was a normal sized burger, and the junior was a small sized burger. This is incorrect. The junior is a normal sized, or a hair smaller, burger, in the grand scheme of burgers. The regular is just, big. It's a lot. But the beef is tasty, well cooked...very good. I have to mention the fountain. They had not only Coke Zero on fountain (please tell me why this hasn't replaced all the disgusting Diet Coke dispensers in soda fountains) but caffeine free Diet Coke. Big points for rarities. Only thing is, I feel like it's kind of expensive. Portions are big, as I mentioned, but my "regular" cheeseburger, fries, and soda was north of $11. I could shave that by ordering the junior, and skipping fries (of which they gave me like, 6 pounds), but still a bit pricey, to me. read more

The Pros: The seasoned fries are FABULOUS and they always give you a TON. A regular is plenty to feed 3 people. The fries are salty, potato-y in the middle, and has a wonderful crisp on the outside. 5 Guy's fries are serious contenders. The burger is also juicy, and well cooked. For a normal burger they give you 2 patties, and small is one patty. I will get one patty and it fills me up plenty! The Cons: The burger kind of looks like Wendy's... same exact packaging as well. At other burger places there are so many unique toppings to choose from and wrapped in a nice little box. Also, 5 Guys makes me feel a little greasy when I walk in... like I should be getting it after a night of drinking. Fries, burger, and a drink will put you to shy of $15. WHAT. Overall, it is a solid place. I just don't think that this place comes to mind when I want a good burger. read more

Burgers at Geneva are ok but staff terrible I called my order in but stood around for 5 minutes before asking about fries didn't even drop them before I asked too busy walking around and talking while I waited read more

I'm on the fence here. This is still a pretty good burger and the fries are good, too. But I think I'm getting jaded on the large amounts of grease that soak through the fry bag, and the near tasteless burger that is saved by the toppings -- and hurt by a fall apart bun. My gut was rebelling against the grease for a couple days later, so this may have been my last visit. Not sure if that's 5G's fault or my aging tummy... Oh, and the peanuts were soft. read more

Yes a regular cheeseburger is a double! oops...shoulda read the yelp reviews before coming. Anyway it was totally delicious, and the flavor of the meat really stood out. The "five guy fries" are just regular fries cooked in their 100% peanut oil... but we tried the cajun version which were tasty. And yes, the regular size order of fries is huge. Anyway, the oil in this place makes for a greasy feeling after eating.. so maybe it's better to get it to go.. and clearly you should not come here if you have a peanut allergy... read more

FIVE GUYS DELIVERY REVIEW I like Five Guys for dine in. I drive for UberEats and also last night ordered FiveGuys to be delivered via UberEats. Five Guys has NO plan for packaging food or delivery. One Example: The fries are tossed in a paper cup and into the bag a burger wrapped up tossed on top or next to it. What the recipient gets a soggy soft mess of fries and a burger that the bottom bun is useless. It's just one big soaked piece of dough that falls apart. The shake is just placed in a bag with no regard. Nothing is taped closed or stapled closed either or double bagged. Avoid Five Guys DELIVERY ..total waste of money.. tossed my food in garage after an attempt to eat it. read more

I'm curious to see what will happen to the slew of Burger chains that has sprouted these past few years. I mean, what took so long for this country and entrepreneurs to realize they could compete directly with the fast food chains by providing better quality burgers? How long will these business continue to succeed? Out of them all, Five Guy's clearly stands at the top. Could have something to do with the promo Obama gave them a while back. Or that they rapidly expanded, but be careful 5 dude's. Remember what happened to Crispy Cream? I like the environment, it's friendly and fast paced. You get your food pretty quickly. The burgers are pretty good. However, I consider myself a burger connoisseur. So this could certainly be a 4-5 star burger for the average burgerholic. I like the mass of toppings you can choose from. They all taste great together, but it does get pretty sloppy. Their fries are good, but I despise the amount they give you. It's almost a school lunch bag full of em'. I usually end up throwing away almost 3/4 of the bag. If you go with people, I strongly urge you to share with your group. Five Guys is a solid burger chain that is a nice switch from fast food. read more

The Burgers are very fresh and tasty! I enjoy the fresh potato's that are what makes the fries so good! Now my question I am looking to confirm that Five Guys at this address is closing? do we know when it going to happen? The Naperville Sun posted a story today that Naf Naf Grill is opening up in this space? read more

Freezing inside. Great burgers though. Took it to go because loud inside. Empty inside. Orders to go take a long time. Eating inside is not optimal as your food gets cold quickly. I don't eat here often, just too many hassles when there are other great burger places. Location is great in downtown Naperville but that's about it. read more

Probably one of the BEST burgers I've had (aside from the angus burgers my grill-master room mate makes). Fresh, wonderful, great toppings, and outstanding fries. Decent price for a very good burger when you'd pay just a few bucks less for a fast-food joint burger elsewhere. This place truly hit the spot. One thing you gotta know is -- this burger is messy... but that's how a *real* burger is supposed to be -- not these pristine burgers you see from fast-food restaurants where all the pickles are uniform and no condiments are peeking out from under the bun. LOL read more

Awesome burger, but they screwed up my fries. Fries were over cooked and they shorted me on fries. Been to one in dc, this franchise in naperville sucks. read more

Expensive but excellent burgers and fries. I am only giving 4 stars because I have been here many times and there always seems to be dirty tables. The staff needs to attend to the dinning area more frequently. read more

My son and I had lunch here to celebrate his success in completing his driver's ed and getting his license. The food was good, but it is burgers and fries and was exactly what you'd expect, but nothing overwhelming. The restaurant was clean and the staff was friendly. read more
