For a standard burger, this is pretty much as good as it gets. If you want something exotic, a juicy lucy, etc, go elsewhere, but for a good bacon cheeseburger you can't go wrong with Five Guys. The fries were okay - better than average - and the portions were good. The Lake Elmo location needs way more seating - but even with a lack of seating we were able to secure a table while we waited for our food to come up. read more

They did a good job for a new chain to the Twin Cities. We are fans of this chain on the east coast. Great burgers, fries are virtually endless. Weird seating at this location. Plenty of parking, but can get crazy at rush. read more

Five Guys - For those gps'ing, correct city & zip. - Fast Food Near Me - Oakdale, Minnesota

Great burgers and fries. I wish that had malts like other locations. Also you gotta try the vinegar on the fries. Freaking awesome!

Shockingly this was my first time at this location even though it's just a few miles from home. Decided to get a quick lunch, although there was line out the door around 1:30 and it took at least 10 minutes to get our food. I got a bacon cheese burger with mayo and a lettuce wrap instead of a bun (recently hopped on the keto train), it was as expected- pretty good but nothing crazy special. My husband ordered a bacon burger (no cheese), with onions, mayo, and lettuce "bun", although he received a double bacon cheeseburger. Not sure how that happened as we were pretty specific- oh well. Love that they have peanuts to snack in, helped us to aid our salty craving since we cant have fries. Workers were decently friendly but seemed as though they couldn't keep up with the orders along with cleaning dirty tables. All in all... It's fast food. read more

First time here. Customer service was great at the register. She was super friendly. Burgers where very good. Little on the drippy side but sure beat a dry burger. Tastes like real beef, not fake like McDs. Not cheap but well worth the money for a good quality burger. Their fries where good too. Will be back. read more

Five Guys - Fast Food Near Me - Oakdale, Minnesota

I have to say, the burger didn't quite live up to the hype. I love burgers...I mean I REALLY love burgers (my unborn child's middle name will probably be "Burger"). I've definitely had better. Maybe this was just a one-time experience but the place was extremely crammed (bad layout) with people tripping over each other and my burger tasted no better than a burger from Champps - the cheese was good though. Couple of additional things - the wait time was a little crazy with people lined up in the doorway and ordering was a little confusing with the cashier telling me twice that I'm ordering incorrectly (weird). In my opinion, the fries are not worth it (pass on those). So, overall it wasn't a bad place and this isn't a "write-off" but I'll probably wait until summer time to go again so I can sit outside and have some breathing room - hopefully it won't be as busy. Oh yeah...they had free roasted peanuts which was nice! read more

I don't get it. A wrinkled up ho hum bun containing a couple of slices of tomato, lettuce, two tiny green pepper slices, grilled onions and a three paltry specks of mushroom for three dollars? This you call a "veggie sandwich?????" I could go to my local grocery store, buy a bag of mediocre white hamburger buns, sit on them to flatten and wrinkle them and then pull leftover, sad looking old veggies from my refrigerator, slap 'em together and still make a better veggie sandwich than the Five Guys veggie sandwich offering. And the cost for my homemade model would be 25 cents--not three dollars. After seeing the veggie sandwich listed on the menu board I asked the order taker if the veggie sandwich was loaded with vegetables. He said, "Yes!" It's chock-ful! It's huge!" "Good," I thought, since that was the only non-meat option at this place. Seriously--there is nothing else (except French Fries) that a non-meat eater can eat at this joint. Well, the cashier lied. The "Veggie Sandwich" was NOT chock-ful of veggies. In fact, it was downright pitiful. Others in my party had hamburgers (with flattened, wrinkled ho hum buns) and not one of them was impressed with their burger. The only thing worthy of positive mention, flavor-wise, were the hand-cut French Fries, and even they were served up cold and soggy. Seems that Five Guys thinks it's really hip and cool to just dump the fries on top of the foil wrapped sandwiches inside a big brown paper sack. Newsflash--it's not hip--it's sloppy and it makes the fries cold and soggy and gets french fry grease all over everything. Note: Offering up self-serve paper boats of peanuts in the shell doesn't make the "real food" we came for taste any better, nor does it make us feel better about the money we handed over. We were NOT IMPRESSED with Five Guys. We will never go back. read more

Mediocre food, some of the worst, most inefficient service that I have ever witnessed. Just about anywhere else is a better choice.

This place is hit or miss. The food tastes amazing, but the customer service depends on who is working. Most of them are great and friendly, but other days they ignore you, and I had one cashier who answered the phone when I got up there. I understand needing to answer the phone, but he didn't smile or nod to acknowledge he saw me, and didn't politely apologize for being on the phone. I would still recommend it, but I would also say go at night. The closing shift is the best team of coworkers they've got in my opinion. They're the ones who seem to be happy all the time. read more

I am addicted to 5 Guys fries. I'm afraid to count how many times I've been to this Oakdale location for a quick lunch when I'm starving. So let's just say I am qualified to state that the staff are always friendly and conscientious at this location. Always. Food quality is very consistent. They will make your burger in a bowl, bun free, and will ask you if it is an allergy so they know if they need to be more careful with it. I appreciate selecting the exact burger toppings I'm in the mood for...and their hot sauce is good! It's relaxing to eat outside on their back patio by the fountain when weather permits. read more

Wow. This is my first review. This is the first time I strongly disagreed enough with the existing reviews to spend the time. 5 guys was a real disapointment. First off the prices are a bit steep in my opinion for a fast food burger. The burger was passable, somehow greasy but yet dry at the same time. The fries were a big disappontment for me. Very soggy and greasy. My brother was with me so I got to try the regular and the cajun. Neither were good and the cajun were so heavily covered in spice that they were virtually inedible. One of the worst $25 I've spent to be honest. Maybe just a bad day for them but I doubt I will give them another try. read more

Hands down the dirtiest restaurant I've been to in a long time. It was about 3 in the afternoon. Busy place but almost and shouldn't eaten here. The tables that we're open and there we're about 6 never had been cleaned and we saw no one cleaning them the entire meal. The small garbage was so full I had to force my refuge in. Also was not offered or informed of the peanuts and was one of the few things not on the floor like other Five Guys we have been to. A place to which we would never return and maybe the chain itself. read more

First time here, heard it was the 'east coast' version of In-N-Out. Burger come plain, tons of toppings to chose and all are free. I got the classics. Tomatoes, Grilled Onions, Lettuce and Mayo. Burgers: Good! Fries: Average. They get different potatoes in at different times, so taste varies I guess. These were flavorless. Needed Salt and Ketchup. Place was packed which is good for them... I'll bee back for the Burgers! read more

I had heard that Five Guys was great from coworkers. Right when I walked in the place was filthy, all the trash cans were flowing over and most of the tables were not cleaned off. Considering there was only a couple customers in the place there really is no excuse. I was shocked that for just a burger, fries and drink cost over 15 dollars. I have had much better burgers for half the price. The do give you a lot of fries but definitely not worth the cost. I would avoid this over priced place if I was you. read more

This place felt like a modern faster version of the 'famous' lions tap. It's a simple menu that doesn't focus on doing many things. They focus on doing a few things very well. And they do it very well. The burger was great. I did the the regular (which is huge). I also had a small/regular side of fries. This is no doubt enough fries for two or three. They were fresh cut and dumped into the bag. The service was also impressively friendly. For a place with a fast food feel and look they came around and made special effort to make sure we had what we needed and enjoyed the meal. read more

We were the first people in the door when they opened. The place was a disaster and disgusting. It was not cleaned the night before, tables were filthy floors were filthy. Food is always good, but it questions their cleanliness. read more

So it's super greasy fast food, which is ok, but not for $9 per plate. WAY TOO MUCH for shit food. A crappy fast food burger should never cost $10 read more

Another burger chain (along with Smash Burger) that the entire family enjoys, great burgers, and tons of fries.

What you'd expect from Five Guys: a great bacon cheeseburgers and an obscene amount of fries (Cajun are my go-to). Nice location and friendly staff. read more

I like Five Guys. The food is greasy but good. You are guaranteed to be messy by the time you are done with your food. The service is so/so and the prices are on the high side. Overall cleanliness of the restaurant in the customer area is not too good. With the prices they charge and how busy they always are, they should be able to afford an employee to keep the customer area clean. read more

just came to grab a strawberry milkshake, was very nice. drinkin it rn actually! :D however they did charge me 20 cents extra for whipped cream even tho i didn't say i wanted some.. maybe they're psychic tho bc i was going to pay that extra 20 anyways ope! also thought it was pretty cool how they literally had FIVE GUYS working :p read more

I have to say that we absolutley loved Five Guys. I was a bit nervous when I saw the line and saw that there didn't seem to be a ton of tables. I was thinking it would either take forever or we wouldn't find a spot to sit. The line went fast and the staff knew how to deal with lots of people. They also were good at keeping the tables cleaned as people left. Well I thought the burger was absolutely delicious! One of the best I have ever had! The small size burger was plenty big for me. My seven year old who is normally a very picky eater devoured her burger in no time. We shared a large fry between two adults and a child and still had some leftover. The fries were fresh cut and very tasty. The burger juicy and awesome-better than I expected! YUM! read more

After all the hype we went in one night for some burgers. The line was short this evening compared to what I have seen it at in the past. About 20 mins. I give them points for having peanuts there to snack on while waiting in line. I like the burger. I like that you get a bunch of options. The price is not cheap but could be worse. I give credit for the toppings are not extra. Thank you for that. The cajun fries taste good but are lacking that crispness I like in fry. Grease overload. Will I go back.. Yes... Is it the best burger I ever had? No. The fries really drive down the rating for me also. They are greasy, and soggy. the staff was friendly and the restaurant was clean. read more

I tried this place after hearing many people say its a great place. I have to say it was just ok. The burger was fine, but any burger specialty restaurant worth its salt would cook your burger to the patrons liking. Not this place. Big sign says all burgers cooked well done. A good burger, like good steak, in my opinion, should never be above medium rare. But that's just me. The fries are extremely soggy. I like crispy fries. Overall it wasn't terrible, but I won't return unless one of my friends is dying to go. read more

Delicious as always. Probably one of the best $5 burgers you can get. Fries are always good as well l, particularly Cajun style. Service speed was acceptable-- place was packed and we had to wait a few minutes for some tables to open up. Anytime you want a solid burger and fries, stop into Five Guys. read more

Great burgers and fries! Very casual laid back atmosphere, staff is very friendly!

Juicy, flavorful burgers! Nice patio area to enjoy a close-by water fountain. For me, a burger is a burger, but the place was packed, the service was friendly, and I was happy! read more

If I could rate into the negative numbers I would, as this was hands down the worst attempted dining experience since the invention of restaurants. On the 4th of July, my wife and I decided to finally try 5 Guys as we have heard many good things about their food. We went to the location and there was zero customers in the store and 6 employees "working." My wife is allergic to gluten so she asked if they had gluten free buns and the young man behind the counter said I don't know. She then asked him to please ask a colleague and his answer was we can wrap it in lettuce for you, still not answering her question. Fine, so she proceeded to order a bacon cheeseburger with no bun and we then asked if the medium fried would be large enough to share, again he didn't know, which is okay, he doesn't know our how much we eat, so I said, a medium would be fine. I was just about to start ordering my burger when the phone rang and apparently the other 5 employees working couldn't be bothered to answer it so the young man who was waiting on us proceeds to answer the call while his co-workers were just hanging out having fun doing nothing. My wife looked at me and said, "should we just leave?" I was in agreement as the store was not being run by anyone, had no customers, and every table in the place was filthy. If the only place in the world you could get food was the 5 Guys in Oakdale, I would opt to starve then subject myself to such a joke of a restaurant. Also, I assume the staff had no clue that they did anything wrong, which points to a larger training issue that they need to address or they will be out of business. Especially in today's hyper-competitive quest for discretionary dollars you'd think they would at least try to practice some level of customer service. read more

OK burger but nothing specialn the condiments provided the taste. Fries were good. Cost seemed high for the result.

I ordered the Cheese Veggie Sandwich with grilled onions, grilled mushrooms and tomatoes with the regular-sized fries. The sandwich was very good and the fries are delicious. I have been here two times so far. The first time was a Friday night and the restaurant was packed. I had to get my order to go because there was nowhere open to sit and eat it there. Tonight I went around 5 p.m. and I think I beat the rush because it was only somewhat busy. The regular size fries are more than enough for two people to share. read more

Great Burgers - great price. The Staff was extra friendly too. Favorite burger place by far.

Kind of spendy if you get fries and a drink. The burgers aren't jam packed with fillets and preservatives so you get that grilled at home flavor. Cajun fries have a good spicy flavor. No need to get more than a regular though as they fill your bag with extra fries read more

Excellent service and the best burger in the area. The fries could be a little less soggy, but their freshness makes up for it. Be back as soon as my arteries have a chance to recover! read more

Honestly the best burger and fries we have ever had...we compared to all burger joints in our area and will be at 5 guys for all future burger cravings! The fries are plentiful, real homemade, delicious and the burgers are juicy and so flavorful!! The staff is very friendly and we have had great experiences....oh and do not forget about the free peanuts...nice to snack on while waiting for your fresh made to order burger....but do not eat to many or you will not have room for the delicious meal you just ordered...Kudos 5 Guys!!! read more

Great burgers. Loud as hell though. Stood at the cashier and watched him plug his ears trying to listen to a phone order. The person on the phone ended up hanging up. Turn the music down!! read more

good for fast food! great fries and fast service. the buns get soggy wrapped up in the foil though. nice thick patty. I prefer 5 guys over smash burgers for fast burgers. read more

Decided to try this place after passing by for the past couple of months. Ordered two regular burgers, two regular fries and two drinks. Order comes to $30! Me thinks not!!!!!!! Cancelled order and left. read more

Great burgers, you can make them how you want with as many toppings as you want. Be prepared to wait a few minute though, these aren't your typical fast food burgers. They're made to order. The burgers are a little greasy, but not even close to Smashburger's level of greasiness. I personally love the fries, they may seem soggy to some, but that's how real french fries are supposed to taste. They do give you a lot of fries though, one regular order was enough for me and two of my friends. read more

When I first walked into five guys it felt so crowded and hot in there I thought for sure I wasn't going to like it but I had heard many good things about the restaurant so I decided to stick it out and try some of the food before I made my final decision. The bags of peanuts everywhere kind of threw me off a little bit but I thought it was kind of cool just because it was so different. After I placed my order and got my food I had to find a spot in that cramped little restaurant and sit down. I took my burger out and right away noticed how much grease was leaking through the bag. The fries were alright I didn't think they were anything special but the burger was very good regardless of all the grease. All in all I thought Five Guys was alright if your just looking for a quick burger but I don't think it lived up to all the hype. read more

My first time and I totally love the burgers! Can be spendy, $20 for two people, but it was delicious! The place could use a cleanup (tables/chairs). Otherwise, great burgers and fries! read more
