We have always loved 5 Guys for their fries and burgers. This afternoon they failed badly on both counts at the Amity Rd. location. The burger was dry and flavorless. The mouth feel, texture and flavor said: It's Monday so today's fries are on encore performance of yesterday's fries - reheated. Service was good, restaurant was clean. I will never again visit this location unless I have a flat and need to pull into the parking lot to change it. $29+ for a little burger that was awfully dry. I would pass on that if it was free. a bun with vegetables Reheated fries that we're not enjoyable to eat. and a 15% tip No way I will chance a repeat performance. It used to be expensive and good - especially the fries. Now, just, just don't get started again... Hey, it's your money to spend - Amity Rd. is not in the middle of a food desert. read more

Stopped here before my class at SCSU, I hadn't had their burgers in a long time and I quickly remembered why. The burger really didn't impress me, it felt like just a slight upgrade from a McDonald's patty, nothing special for the price. They have free peanuts while you wait, but I passed on those. The cashier was friendly. I got a big burger with lettuce tomato grilled onions and ketchup. The toppings are free. Every table in the place was dirty, so I decided to just take my food and eat in my car. The fries were hot, salted well, but came out soggy, which was kind of disappointing. Overall, the meal felt way too overpriced for the quality, and honestly, I don't plan on stopping here before class again. read more

See all

Got the best greeting from Ali. His smile was so welcoming. Made my ordering experience a 10. My food was cooked and prepared as requested . . . Bun packaged separately. The grill staff all acknowledged and spoke as well read more

Fast service and friendly staff eager to assist. Order prepared to perfection. I will def return on our next trip to New Haven read more

Five Guys - Burgers Near Me - New Haven, Connecticut

**Update** I finally received an email response to my experience complaint wherein notification of a full refund was issued for my order. Management processed the refund as promised! I appreciate that someone listened to my issue and responded. While I never asked for a refund, the fact that someone heard and provided a remedy certainly changes my perception of Five Guy's. Thank you to whoever listened! read more

Five Guys - Behind the line - Burgers Near Me - New Haven, Connecticut

The food was fine, but the prices, yikes. Are all Five Guys this way? Was my first time at one in a long time, but can't imagine I'll be back at those prices. Better than fast food chains by far, but not my type of place once we start hitting that price range. A cheeseburger, large fry and a bottle water $23 before the suggested tip pops up. The burger was good, albeit rather greasy. The place was satisfactorily clean for a fast food joint, but not great, and the vent hoods seemed in need of repair. You could see them not drawing properly when they dropped new fries, and the whole place was hazy. Can we PLEASE bring back the old size ketchup packets (likely not in their control, unless they opt for those larger ones with the peel off lid), or put in a pump? I'm sick of having to open like 9 of them. "Back in my day, ketchup packets rabble rabble rabble!" read more

Five Guys - a receipt for a restaurant - Burgers Near Me - New Haven, Connecticut

Ditto to Russell W.'s review. I too haven't been to a Five Guys in eons, but I don't recall it being this pricey. Sure, it's steps above McDonald's, but $11.59 for a cheeseburger seemed a bit much. Waited around 25 minutes for food which was long and had me wondering what was going on. At least the burgers and fries were hot and fresh! One of the cashiers did seem somewhat distracted; another one was outgoing and upbeat. Music ranged from Queen to Lorde. The restrooms were locked so I had to ask for the code. There was lots of parking available. Look for this freestanding Five Guys in front of a liquor store. It's conveniently located off Route 15. read more

Friendly staff, clean bathrooms, and clean restaurant. The burger and fries were great. Holy cow the prices are a bit crazy though. Burger, small fry, medium drink $23.00 (including 15% tip). Meh maybe next time I'll try a less expensive option. read more

Five Guys - Burgers Near Me - New Haven, Connecticut

I just had my first experience at 5 guys.And I have to say the customer service was top notch. I got free peanuts. My vanilla milkshake is delicious. My regular Cajun fries are so tasty. I taste onion and Lawry's. I got a grilled hot vegetable sandwich not to be confused w/ a vegburger. I love this meatless option. I took it to go and I was in and out. Great experience read more

Thanks for the saggy oily uncooked french fries five guys! I went to order this takeout. If I wanted to cook my own food, I would've just stayed home. I guess I'll turn these boiled french fries into mashed potatoes. Proper training five guys, proper training!!! if you're really craving five guys wonderful crispy fresh cut fries drive 15 minutes to the orange five guys were they really take pride and care about what they're doing. read more

Five Guys - Soggy, oily, uncooked, french fries! Ugh! What a waste - Burgers Near Me - New Haven, Connecticut

I always enjoy a good cheeseburger. These are yummy; juicy, made to order, plenty of toppings to consider. Fries are the best! Crunchy but eat them fast, they lose some crunch as they get cold- which I love later that night with ketchup :) yup, I'm a kid at heart and while you're waiting for that burger enjoy some peanuts as an appetizer. 4 out of 5 I'm a fusspot when it comes to clean tables ... not so happy with that. read more

Why, why, WHY are shakes so often unavailable at this ONE location? And in the rare instance when shakes happen to be available, the Five Guys mobile app NEVER shows shakes. The shakes menu section has been missing from the mobile app for years, just for this location. This is a local owner/manager issue. This location does not have enough staff working to cover register, grill, fries, takeout/shakes, etc. simultaneously. They have purposefully removed shakes as a menu item online to avoid the issue. Complaints have been voiced with corporate. read more

I paid $7.19 for an order of regular fries, plus two burgers between $13-$16 (all on door dash), and this is the amount of fries that Five Guys thinks is acceptable? Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but the last time I went to Five Guys (a few years ago now), this would be less than what you get for the small. Will definitely not be returning, at least not via a doordash order where I can't ask for a correction. read more

Five Guys - Regular fries, believe it or not - Burgers Near Me - New Haven, Connecticut

Friendly staff, very clean bathroom and very clean kitchen/dining room. Of course the prices are high, which Resturaunt isn't lately, but they're very professional inside. Would come back to this location for the cleanliness alone. read more

I've been frequenting this Five Guys location for a few years now, and I was no stranger to the chain before that. I have no criticisms for this branch in particular. The service has always been friendly, and my many orders have always been correct. The four stars is for the food at every Five Guys I have eaten at, which has been VERY uniform across all locations. read more

This five guys is somehow never open. We went for dinner one night at 7pm and the refused to take our order because they were "closing at 8". On the door it says their hours are 11am-10pm. Went back the next day at 1pm and they were still closed. We called the store and ask when they would be open and they said "not until after 3pm probably". It's absolutely ridiculous and we will probably not be coming back here even though we live right around the corner. However, maybe it is for the best they weren't open because then we would spend a fortune on not even that much food, sure its good but is it really worth spending over $40 for two fast food meals?? In short, if you are planning to go here call ahead and make sure they are actually open to save yourself a trip. Lower your expectations for customer service and be prepared to spend a fortune on a tiny amount of food. read more

I'm sorry but every single employee in there at this current moment would somehow fuck up a PB & J sandwich. I waited at the counter for 15 mins, for the guy to say I need to catch up on orders. Then stare at me for maybe another 11 minutes. After my order was put in, a solid 35 minutes went by before anyones order was made and mine came about 15 after that. I suggest management goes to Petco and finds some goldfish to work there because there is not a chance they could be as useless as the current employees. read more

Gotta say, this place rocks. I'm only deducting a star because I think that the prices are a little outrageous and there's some inconsistencies with the fries (sometimes too salty, sometimes overcooked). They greet you when you come in and I'm sure their energy level is tough to keep up with throughout their shifts, but they seem to do it with ease. The latest addition is the Coke soda fountain which lets you add as many flavors as you can dream of. Excellent addition in my opinion. Fries are good.. sometimes a little too cooked or too salty but definitely one of their selling points. I've noticed that this store seems to not give as many fries as others. Not sure if it's just their thing or a management decision, but noticeably different than other Five Guys locations. Burgers are awesome... Nice polite workers... Good stuff. read more

They are delicious! When ordering keep in mind- the portions are big. You definitely get what you pay for.

Great venue to come for burgers. The burgers are quickly cooked and tasty. read more

Five Guys - Cheeseburger - Burgers Near Me - New Haven, Connecticut

Are you planning the well worn Boston to NYC trek and kind of annoyed you have to drive through Connecticut? I have something for you that will make a bit less boring. Stop at Five Guys in New Haven, just off the Wilbur Cross (Route 15). This location is about 100 yards off the parkway and there is plenty of parking. The staff is friendly, and like all Five Guys locations, they serve up some pretty darn good burgers and fries. There is ample seating inside and although always busy, there is always somewhere to sit and eat. My only complaint is that the last time I went, they mixed up the lines on the soda machine and regular coke was coming out of the diet coke taps. This is also a good location as it is almost midway between NYC and Boston. read more

Hubby and I were craving some burgers the other day...and normally we go to the Orange Five Guys. Turns out this one is closer to us...AND has online ordering! Whaaaaat? That's right....plug your order in online, pay, and head right to the counter to pick up, skipping what can be crazy lines. I ordered, picked up and was back home with my hot burgers and delicious fries in less than 20 minutes. WIN. Also.....the fries this time were extra delicious. We will definitely be frequenting this Five Guys from now on! read more

Very unpleased, order came to over $50 and I have an allergy so I asked for a lettuce wrap burger, tipped ,20% only to see my lettuce wrap burger was not in the bag and I was not given a receipt which would be needed for a refund or replacement. After a long day of work was really looking forward to it too. Everyone there was very nice but a big miss to not put in the food of the person that paid and tipped especially after making such a work of cleaning everything because of an allergy order. read more

Good? Yes. Better than In-N-Out? No. Still, you'll be hard pressed to find a better burger for the Five Guys price out in Connecticut. The burgers are not shockingly cheap, but for the quality and size they do pack great value. The default burgers come with two juicy patties on a soft sesame seed bun, but you can get "little" burgers with single patties. I tend to opt for the "little" option, though the regular burger is delicious, with any added value you get from doubling the meat. It still has plenty of great meat and leaves a little more room for fries. You can get either size with cheese and or bacon on top for a little bit extra, and the rest of the toppings are free free free. I love the toppings policy, which makes the burgers an even better deal, and I definitely take advantage. I like to load up with some combination of lettuce, tomato, pickle, jalapeno, grilled onion, grilled mushrooms, hot sauce, and ketchup. My burgers inevitably end up dripping juice and condiments, making a mess of my face and dining space. I usually need a fork so as not to miss a stray mushroom or bit of jalapeno. The fries are great but inconsistent. They're made fresh from real potatoes on display in the store, and the portions are gigantic. The texture varies from day to day, and while they're fantastic when they tend towards crispy, they can be soggy, too. The food here is as simple as the name suggests, and I like that Five Guys sticks to a couple basics and does them well. As far as chains go, and especially fast food chains, Five Guys is in the very top tier. The burger won't blow your mind, but it's solid and the price is right. As for the fries, when they're good, they knock out any competition - and yes, the fries are much better than In-N-Out's. I also like the space and the accompanying dining experience. Even though Five Guys is a casual-as-can-be chain burger joint, it has a fun vibe, with peanuts in their shells for snacking and a view of an open kitchen. The place gets crowded, but lines go fast and seating is easy to find. For the price and quality, Five Guys is worth coming back to again and again. For Californians visiting the east coast, it's a must-try, if only to make the obvious comparison. I happen to prefer In-N-Out, but it's close, and many others disagree. In any case, one star for each guy. read more

Great burgers, mountains of fries, and they don't complain when you go to refill your soda more than once. A regular fry can be split among 3-4 people. That being said, I suppose it justifies the pricetag. It's a little up there for burgers (two burgers, a large soda, and a regular fry is close to $20), but I guess any place will charge that much for a good burger. One thing I do love is that they have malt vinegar for your fries. The parking lot is horrendous, however. There are 3 speedbumps at minimum, and they're steep. I can't drive there in 2 of the 3 cars we own, because I am afraid the speedbumps will rip the oil pan out. There's also no secret back entrance where you don't have to go over them, but that's the whole Amity Plaza. You don't have to wait TOOOOO long, unless you go during peak hours. The staff is generally pretty pleasant though. I always get a double cheeseburger, all the way, with jalapenos - and even though I did wait 30 min once (an entire soccer team had walked in before me), I still think it's well worth it. read more

Holy carnivore batman! I was freaking hungry, but that was more meat than I needed to eat in a month! We finished half our root beers just watching them make the burgers, and spice the fries. We were salivating by the time we got our order. I think we might have even danced to the car. The juicy burgers hit my tongue, and I was hooked. Two massive patties melted in my mouth, not to mention the cheese, grilled onions, and bacon that topped it (yah I overdid it). I scarfed it down faster than I'd like to admit. Then we moved onto the spicy fries. Oh how I love spicy fries... I LOVE THIS PLACE. In N Out, eat your heart out. This place just replaced you in my heart! Why can't I rate this 4.5 stars? read more

Great burgers, great fries, nice staff, not much else to say,... they include alot of free toppings and the fresh hand cut fries are awesome! Not very healthy, but it sure is tasty once in awhile. One of the workers also said they were going to remodel and when they do, add shakes, yum! read more

SUPER expensive. Overpriced fast food 7.29 for a burger joint If you have it to spend twelve bucks Is much better meal. Somewhere. Else Not a combo. 4.29 for a regular fries A. Lot of places to go much much Better for. Quality quantity and price read more

I've always loved a good 5 guys burger and Cajun fries! Super happy to see that I can get a one person size of fries now in a small. Having a mad craving for a little bacon cheeseburger and totally forgot this location existed until I saw the sign and the store from the Merritt parkway so I drove on in. Glutton for punishment just after getting a nice workout in. The place was clean and the staff super friendly, some of the most friendly people I have encountered at any of the 5 guys locations I have been to. The menu is exactly the same everywhere, the layout the same, and the food, awesomely delicious. My order came right out hot and fresh. And yes, the fries are greasy and the burger hot and juicy. What else could a girl ask for at 10 pm on a Tuesday night? Well lit parking lot. read more

The burgers arent terrible but they are nothing special either, especially for the price. 2 single cheeseburgers, small fries ( which arent very good and the portion is a dixie cup) and small soda, $26 !!!! The fried suck too. They refused to cool them well done for me. Never again! $26 !!!! Crazy! read more

I stop in being a huge burger fan and hearing about it's fantastic burger and fries so I ordered a single cheese burger and bag of fries and waited in a bowling alley atmosphere and about the same noise level except without the clatter of bowling pins.My order came up seat down and was about half way through it when I realized grease not juice from a medium well cook burger but grease was running down both hands I posed look at the burger, it's was more like grizzle burger then I looked at my bag of fries Yip the paper bag was sought throw with grease, all in all it was very over priced plus being way to grease Fives Guys should at least had out a Defibrillator with every order and return them at door as you slide out. read more

Food is great but overpriced as always. My goodness the service is awful, every single employee is rude. They will not serve you if you're not wearing a face mask, and they don't provide masks for customers. The second you sit down or have food or drink in hand you can take it off, I won't find myself going again anytime soon. read more

This was my third visit to a Five Guys establishment, I thought perhaps for my first two I had just caught them on an off day, but this will be my last, as all three were consistently mediocre at best. Previous stores visited were on Newbury St in Boston, and in Stoneham MA. I just don't understand where all the good reviews come from for this place. I got the two patty cheeseburger, not flavorful, not juicy at all, at any of the shops I visited. Strike one, there is no option on doneness, I want a medium rare burger, but all they offer is medium well, more like well done. Strike two, the regular sized fries are ridiculously large for one person, and have been greasy every time as well, and at 2.99, with a burger, and a drink, you're pretty much at 11.00 for a disappointing meal. The third strike was the iced tea, which is instant, not fresh brewed. Even mcdonald's has fresh brewed tea. I wish In and Out would come east and bury these guys! Now THAT is a great fast food burger. Guess I'll stick to U Burger from now on around here. read more

It's a Five Guys, so you probably know the menu by heart or you avoid the place to save your own. The staff is nice and I like the clientele here too - always an interesting mix of people enjoying themselves. But I don't know if I like the Five Guys burger better than the local Educated Burgher burger and I actually find the two quite similar - in terms of beefy flavor, greasiness and/or juiciness, crispness of lettuce, softness of mushrooms and onions, tangy-ness of hot sauce, etc. Because this shop is located in greater New Haven, I just thought I'd mention it. In the past 4 years I've seen the closing of Paul's, Yankee Doodle, Copper Kitchen and 1/2 of Clark's. If Connecticut doesn't watch out, it's native burgers will become extinct. Does Five Guys even offer pickle relish?* Sigh. Moving on: their fries are often worth my while and I do know that I like Five Guys better than In-N-Out. Last time I was in California I checked, carefully, just to be sure. But can you drive through Five Guys at midnight? Tragically, you cannot. *Yes, they do. And it's not hot, but it is sharp and delicious. read more

Having frequented this Five Guys and numerous others throughout the Tri-State Area, I have to say this is my favourite of them all. I'm not sure why, but the fries are always extra delicious at the Amity Rd. location. I wish it were closer to Yale and downtown New Haven, but the drive is always worth it. The interior is clean (save all the peanut shells, but whatever, they're free!) and the orders are always handled to perfection and the wait is long enough to realize that it isn't crappy fast food, but quick enough that you aren't bogged down. Originally from the West Coast and California, I've heard and had all of the In-n-Out mania. Five Guys is better. This is a REAL burger and the option of bacon. In-n-Out does not have that and the burgers are quite small, plus the fries at Five Guys blow In-n-Out's wimpy fries out of the water. This location is especially superb with great food and ample parking. Try it and you won't be disappointed! read more

One of the other locations of this had a guy mentioning that he thought the restaurant started in a dc suburb....IT DID! Here is my note, and I also added this location, as no one had it yet, and there are more here and more locations coming! Check their website to see if there are any closer to you! This 'chain' (and i usually HATE chains) DID start out in a Dc suburb, Springfield and Alexandria, VA, here is some history as I know it: and let me tell you, hubby and I were there almost from the start! When we discovered them, they only had a couple of locations (with us visiting their original) and we could NOT believe our mouths! We never went to any other burger place, ever, when we lived near 5 guys! This place not only makes the best burgers from scratch (and yes, they Beat Harry's Place which i gave 5 stars to yesterday, for that kind of down home snack shack place) but ''5 guys'' is in a class by themselves! They feature a different potato everyday. They get the freshest, and sometimes its an Idaho, sometimes it a Californian ----- whatever! BUT, they are sliced and cooked JUST as my grampa made or that you can make at home. REAL potatoes, fried in amazing FRESH oils, NEVER greasy tasting! THE key, is to get them from their place to yours, without eating all the fries out of the bag! I would secretly eat some of hubbys then throw the portions together, and "oops, hun, looks like ur portion is a little short today LOL (i know, i'm horrible, huh?!) BUT its more fun to sit and eat there.....OK, now, the way it was back then, back in VA in the last 90's...is a bit different from what it is now..... IMAGINE my SHOCK when for some reason (while living outside Orlando FL a couple of yrs ago...) I heard an Add for a ''5 guys famous Burgers.....'' ADVERTISED IN ORLANDO! Whaaaa????? I raced to my computer that day, and was DUMBSTRUCK when i discovered OUR LITTLE FIND!!! had gone almost GLOBAL in the past 10 yrs! and not only was there some in FL and other east coast places, BUT, they had expanded to CT too????? ""Whaaaa?"" and OMG, now they are no longer just '5 Guys', but ''5 guys FAMOUS burgers''? LOL woo hooo! I instantly got on the horn to my hunny to let him know, and he was so excited also....especially becuz we knew I was moving up here...and low and behold, not only had our (former) fave Red Robin expanded up from VA, but now 5 guys (which puts RR to shame in the burger dept.....no contest) is in CT too! He was as blown away as I was! 5 guys is not much on atmosphere (u should have seen the old shack we used to go to at their orig) but now from the one i have visited a couple times in FL b4 i moved, they have a pretty big area inside for eating (u order at counter, then be seated, they will call u or deliver)....and when we were on Merritt Pkwy driving by on my move from FL to Hartford, we went by a location in New haven-----this one here that I added---- (before the tunnel) that looked like it had a drive thru! a drive thru! I cannot tell you how proud I am of these guys (I know, silly, but its so awesome to see a place u supported (like once a week at least!) make it big!! All their employees work so hard, and I'm so happy that the little guys have won, but kept the same flavor and dedication to the best ingredients! Please visit them you will NOT be sorry! read more

O-O-OOO-O.MY.GOSH! I went here for the first time, and my burger tasted delicious! I like that you can add extra things to your burger without extra charge. One order of fries can feed 2 or 3 people. They were really good-the brown paper bag containing our burgers and fries came out nice and greasy. Also, they have Cherry Coke-my fav! This place is super casual. I would definitely come here to fulfill my 1 burger/month fix. Mmmm! read more

Just checking to see how many subcontractors are still waiting to be paid for the renovation of this project in 2018.
