I hate to say it but I don't think this place caters to the demographic location. (Hence the low star rating) people in this area expect a lot when they have to shell out more than they would at McDonald's. I had a great experience. I only eat Five Guys a few times a year because it is high in calories...only draw back but otherwise it is delicious. You definitely get what you're paying for. It's a quality burger! Mmm. I got a cheeseburger with everything. It's so delicious. See you guys in 5 months! read more

I am giving this review because what place does not have milkshakes. That is a huge disappointment every burger place should have milkshakes. If it does not then what is the whole point of having a burger, fries and a milkshake . read more

If you want STUFF on your burger this is the place for a great burger. I eat my cheeseburgers PLAIN so a good tasting hamburger patty and good bun is top notch and Five Guys do this. I'll still take a Double Double as far as a great juicy burger, but Five Guys caters to those people that like a change. Once in a long while, grilled mushrooms is a nice change from plain and they can do that and much more. Watch out for a wait when schools nearby let out, but even with a long line, great fast service and really good fries. read more

really enjoyed five guys burger. was worried about the hype, but its really good, and really fresh. Cajun fries are great! no need for the large burger, get the "little's" that's plenty. You can order over the phone and pick up. each time they say 15 minutes and its true to time. yum! read more

I like Five Guys. That said, I like In-N-Out, too. I am not going to get into a debate over which burger is better, but depending on my mood and proximity, I would go to In-N-Out over Five Guys. Five Guys burgers are juicy, some would say greasy. A really rare burger is what I like and I'm not getting one of those at either Five Guys or In-N-Out. I can get a rare burger at Umami (Oakland) or Burgermeister (Berkeley or Alameda). But I digress. Lots of burger toppings are available ... the normal mayo, lettuce, tomatoes then grilled onions, grilled mushrooms, Jalapeños, peppers, A-1 steak sauce, BBQ sauce and hot sauce. Share a regular order of fries unless you want to carbo load. I really like the Cajun fries. Oh, don't forget to get some self-serve peanuts in the shell to munch on while you're waiting for your food. read more

Sigh. I want this place to be better. They COULD be better. They have all the right components. Their service is bad. Staff has been rude to me EVERY SINGLE TIME we've come in. I have a busy life, family, and when we do places like 5 Guys, it's for take out. They have an AMAZING online ordering system. No joke. My absolute favorite set up for taking online orders. EASY to get exactly what you want with ease. I think other take out places should model their takeout orders in this fashion. The meat is so so. Thin patties cooked to death. Better than BK or McD, less tender than In&Out, Flavor is ok. The portions are huge. I get the jr burger every time, and it is still too much to finish in one sitting, for me! Toppings... The bacon is thick and perfectly cooked. I can get mushrooms, pickles, onions grilled, raw, or both, and on and on and on. And they aren't stingy with the toppings. Good stuff. When I place my order online and pay online, it's because I want to run in and run out. I order and pay online with Chipotle, run in, they have a line for phone/online orders, and I give them my name, they hand me my bag, and off I go. At this place, the food is NEVER ready, no matter how much time they have. Ten minutes, every time. Who has time for that?? They think they're doing you a favor by waiting until you arrive to drop your fries into the frier. I get the idea, we all like hot fries. But when my burgers are sitting on the counter, wrapped and ready to go and I have to wait a minimum of TEN minutes to get my fries, guess what? Not only is my burger cold, but my bun is now soggy with the juices from all of the amazing, and bountiful, toppings. I get that they're trying to make the fries good, but when it's at the expense of the burger, that is a mistake. Also, when I request on my online order that I want everything ready when I arrive, and they ignore me EVERY time, I won't be back. The first time we ordered online and arrived to pick up, I mentioned that I was in a hurry when they said they were just dropping the fries (husband and child in the car waiting), I watched them help FIVE other customers, bagging up fries for them! "We don't drop your fries until you let us know you're here. That way they're hot. People want their fries hot." Yes, true, I prefer hot spuds, but I can reheat those in a toaster oven. I can not, however, 'unsoggify' a drenched and falling apart bun. And people that arrived AFTER I checked in, got in line, and ordered, were getting their meals WITH fries. When they called my name, TEN MINUTES after I checked in, she tells me, "you're welcome, your fries are hot." I asked her if my buns were soggy and burgers cold after waiting ten minutes. She shoved my bag in my hands and walked away. I got home 5 minutes later and the buns weren't even edible they were so drenched. It disintegrated as I peeled it off the bottom and tops of my burger. Pretty gross. So I ate my burger on a plate with a fork and skipped the carbs. Not the worst thing in the world to do, but come on... This place could be SO good. Their staff has crappy attitudes and seem to forget that I am PAYING for the food that I order, they're not doing me a favor and giving it to me. I expect people to deliver better customer service and they are consistently BAD. So unimpressed. Time to bring someone in to explain the concept of good customer service and to train them to prepare food so that they burgers and fries are done at the same time and then everything is hot! :) read more

Decent burger place but I prefer in & out burger its a bit pricey for a basic burger taste the fact that U get free peanuts while u wait is pretty cool read more

Five Guys - Bacon cheeseburger with grilled onions decent the fries were on point - Burgers Near Me - Pinole, California

I visited Five Guys for the first (and last) time today. Horrible food! The bacon cheeseburger was soggy and so wet (ungrilled bun, heavy on condiments, limp lettuce and tomato) that it fell apart after two bites. Horrible sweet pickles which I had to remove. The fries looked good but were actually soft and undercooked. I threw away 3/4 of my meal and won't be back. If you want a good burger and fries, there's a very good Habit Burger two blocks away (I should have been tipped off; Habit Burger is always crowded, this Five Guys was empty). read more

I have came to this place a few times an every single time I'm here they always mess up my orders and their staff is always the rudest people ever ! Every time I come into this place it always seem to be a problem to be a customer this place is ridiculous and their bathrooms are always a mess ! this place needs to be shut down or go under new management read more

The grilled vegetarian with cheese is awesome! Add jalapeños to give it a little needed flavor! Their fries are the VERY best, tastiest fries I have ever eaten in the US. Only British fries (called chips) are better. My only question is: do you guys grill the veggies on a clean grill free of any contamination from meat? If not, please honor my request it is feasible to do so. Thanks! read more

This is the worst I've have ever been treated by a manager . We placed our order and there were mistakes which were corrected . Or so we thought we ordered 1 drunk 1 water 2 burgers 1 regular fry The amount didn't make sense so we questioned it . Then we were given a different price . Sat down order came no fries . Went back to cashier the she said oh I forgot and thencharged ya for a large not a regular . I said because of the mistake they She be free and the manger chimes in and said no nothing was done wrong . The manger left the grill to come to the register and was arguing that nothing was done wrong and we just needed to pay for the fries. In the meantime burgers are sitting getting cold . I told her I'm sorry I'm not accustomed to being talked this way and even worse by a manger . I said the fries at this point should be given to us. She said the cashier was in trying and made a mistake . I asked to refund all of our food we would not be eating dinner there.i asked for name twice with no answer from her.i asked a third time to which she replied with Aristide it's on the receipt . And we walked out . I filled out survey and will calliwnet in the morning . read more

The regular cheeseburger comes stacked with 2 patties. The burgers are stacked high, but not big in circumference. The fries are ok, a bit salty. The price is a bit pricey.. it was like $7 for a cheeseburger. The taste of the burger was meh, nothing memorable. I felt that it was pretty bland. Other places like Habit Burger and Burgers n Brew is wayyyy better. read more

My first time Today! Menu was hard at first, the counter person, wasn't helping at all. I didn't understand that a little hamburger, was one paddy, I was thinking it was a kid menu.. I get my order it said little hamburger, I went back to the counter, and told them I order a hamburger, not a little one. The cook took it away, add a burger to it, and handed it back to me!! It was one of the best burgers I ever had.. I'm coming back to the Five Guys.. You have a Fan!! read more

I wanted a cheese veggie sandwich with only jalapeños and grilled onions with the rest of the toppings I walk in there and there is no welcome like it used to be. There are 2 people in their store during lunch. I get there she is talking to her co worker looks at me keeps talking and slowly makes her way towards me. I tell her what I wanted and forgot to tell her that I want the rest of the toppings. I said I wanted the rest of the toppings and there was an attitude change. She was not afraid to show her unneeded emotions. it was like I bothered her with my mess up. It's whatever, but the costumer service isnt the best like the past 3 times I have been there. The fries are crispy (how can you over cook fries when there is no one is the store).Only got Lettuce and tomato no cheese with out the rest of the toppings still . Lol not coming back. They got rid of the good folk read more

Marixa n wouldn't take my order by phone whe hanged up on me and when I told her she just laughed at me

Go to The Habit! This used to be my favorite burger place, but now it's The Habit. I went here before with no problems, never waited too long for my order. I always get the little bacon cheeseburger with fries. But I came here yesterday after ordering on the phone and I ended up waiting for at least 20 minutes. I expected the food to at least be ready by the time I got there, but there were two people, I assume high schoolers, in there that seemed way more interested in talking than working. I literally saw my bag just sitting there while they skipped around the grill doing nothing at all. I told them I was waiting for my food for a little too long and they apologized and put the fries in my bag. I grabbed it without thanking them and left. I swear The Habit has twice the amount of customers and they're STILL faster. I love The Habit.. read more

You can always get what you want in a Burger, except a plate, but reduces waste. Not a big line, and lots of room. Could wipe tables more often. Avocado or green Chile option could put it over the top. read more

I don't do burgers anymore but today I was craving one, bad mistake. All I ordered was a plain cheeseburger with some fries at 7:03 it is now 7:29! They weren't busy so I'm not sure why it took this long. read more

We have been coming here since they opened and always enjoyed it until today. First of all, they ask for a tip when you're paying for the food, before you get any food. A tip is a gesture of thanks for good service, so asking for a tip before the service is performed makes no sense. Second, and the reason we walked out with half our food left on the table is the staff. There is a crazy loud lady yelling and laughing with her coworkers in Spanish. She sounds like a hyena that just found an antelope with a broken hip. The poor girl working at the cash register looked so burned out from working with this nonsense. I felt really bad for her. This behavior is unacceptable in a restaurant environment...most environments. She and her Spanish yelling coworkers are so loud, we couldn't handle it and left with most of our food still on the table. A lot of other customers were also very aggravated by them and started to sit down to eat, but ended up leaving with their food. Some higher management needs to come to this location and clean house as they'll be losing a lot of customers with these morons working here. read more

This Five Guys is whack they don't have shakes the floor is super dirty. Like how can you have burger place without shakes just super lame. That just kills it for me I'll stick with the habit at least they have shakes and the place is clean. read more

This is where you go when you're looking for a good American Hamburger, and Five Guys deliver on that with fresh ingredients and fries that taste like they should. You know, fried potatoes, and not some scientifically developed substance in the shape of a yellow fried stick. I usually frequent small locally owned burger joints, but after getting nickled and dimed down the street at the only other show a stones throw away that seems to have enjoyed the monopoly of taking advantage of the High School students for a tad too long, I welcome the competition. Looking for an exotic Le Cordon Bleu burger, with a Gluocestershire stilton, and Peruvian parsnips on it? -Look elsewhere. But if you crave a solid American burger give them a shot. It is a fast food chain, but a good one in my opinion. read more

Not impressed at all. In-N-Out makes way better burgers. The fries are really good. Burgers, not so. I've been here about 6 times hoping for a better burger experience each time, only to be let down. I do like In-N-Out burgers much better and they are cheaper. read more

Decided to try 5 Guys in Pinole. Friend Ed at the gym raves about it. When I ordered mine medium-rare I was told they only do well-done. Boo! My quarter pounder consisted of 2 patties, which were much smaller than the bun. I left hungry! Next time it's back to Red Onion up the street! Alan M. read more

Gave them a try on Sunday. Was not that impressed. The fries were the best part. But a pretty overpriced burger, cooked well done, so it has no flavor left, hence the tons of "sides" you can put on. $13.00 for a regular burger, regular fries and iced tea. No thanks, won't be back. read more

Very bland tasteless burgers (more like sawdust) and the fries are very greasy and undercooked. The self serve peanuts are the only real edible thing in this place. Look at their so called awards plastered on the walls and you won't see any that are current (within the past three+ years). I have only been once and that is more than enough for me. I will never go back! If you want a really tasty burger and awesome onion rings go to Fat Apples in El Cerrito read more

I tried the concord location of Five Guys and was not a fan, I decided to try this location to see if this location was any better - nope I was wrong. I'm not sure what all the rave is about with this place. Some like to compare it to in n out burgers and there is no comparison there at all. The burgers at this place has no taste at all which is a shame since they have a ton of potential here. The place always seems to be busy during lunch/dinner hour and also busy on the weekend. Good luck finding parking here as business here all share the same parking lot and sometimes it is full which is ridiculous to me. Anyway, I would rather wait in line at in n out and get food that I know I will enjoy and tastes good instead of coming here because it doesn't appeal to me at all. read more

Disappointed! "overpriced" ok, so i've heard a few people raved about this burger joint and they finally opened one up in Pinole. So with high expectations we went there today for lunch (so we can judge it ourselves). Place was packed, so we decided to just take our order to go...(in line for about 10 mins, got our order in 15 minutes) Our order was filled INCORRECTLY!. So sad! for such a small order. 1 li'l HAMBURGER with everything....I got a cheeseburger!... Ummm, there's a very good reason why I did not order it with cheese. So I scraped off the cheese. 1 bacon cheeseburger with NO onions, No mustard.. the burger was smothered with mustard! (no hope scraping off this yellow stuff). There's really nothing great about the burgers...it's bland. Not worth the $$$. French Fries was not good either. If I'm gonna pay this much for a burger, it will have to be at FUDDRUCKERS in Concord or Walnut Creek. If I don't feel like driving that far, then I'll just go to Red Onions, down the street from this place or In 'n Out. read more

Sandwiches are good but the customer service was very unwelcoming. From beginning to end, very un- pleasant experience. The workers had an attitude, don't greet you as you walk up, they just throw your fries into the bag like if it was trash. Not good hygiene and just not acceptable. And the building was not inviting, looks more like a hall than a dining place. No wonder place was empty. Not coming back. read more

I'm giving this place a 1 star, because the latina lady who gave me my burger snatched it away from me and said," it's not yours!" in a very mean way, and she didn't even apologize. Then I showed her my receipt and I walked away feeling less than a human. I felt like a thief and was embarrassed in front of my family and friends. I hate that lady and will never be coming back. read more

Really? You may have been successful in the east coast but west coast knows burgers- From Red Onion, In & Out, D's Burgers, Mel's Diner to Nation's the list goes on. Now from the looks of all your awards and chaos heard from the east I expected something rather tasted but all I tasted was bland and pricey not to mention soggy ass fries! The hamburger patty itself lacked any flavor, was not very moist but rather dry, no dressings on the bun not even mayo ketchup or secret sauce. I ordered the small burger I believe it was and all it was was regular old store bought sara lee hamburger buns, bagged precut lettuce not even romaine, a chunk of tomato. Barbeque sauce was allright but nothing compared to kinders. I ordered fries and expected it to be hot and fresh not mcdonalds sitting under a heat lamp soggy. I asked for a second batch and the fries still came out SOGGY... I mean if your going to charge and arm and a leg for a simple burger with simple fat fries at least get the fries straight. I mean what could go wrong, you just FRY THEM... Don't worry Red Onion or In - N - Out Five Guys Burgers got nothing on you just five guys who DONT KNOW HOW to do burger and fries. For a grand opening you should impress people not turn them away. Oh did I mention they have too many kids working here who are unattentive, lack of personality, and lazy? Half of them I see talking , theres always something to do when you work in a restaurant. Where's the manager? read more

Counter guy puts in the wrong order. I tell him right away (like 30 seconds). He tells me he can't do anything about it, and that I'm wrong about what I ordered. Right. Don't give your business to places like this. read more

Actually this place is not even worth 1 star , it should be minus all stars ; horrible foods and horrible customer service for a very pricy but crappy burger . Won't ever go back read more

The food here tastes better then other locations that I have gone to but the customer service is lacking. The first time I went, the service was great as Micaela, my waitress told me about the free peanuts and informed me of the free toppings and more. She even repeated my whole order with the toppings. Superb service by her. I though this place was good so I went back today and it was horrible, they screwed up my order and I had to wait in line forever because the guy was talking to the customer before me for quite a long time. A different guy took my order today, Michael took my order today and I ordered a Bacon Cheese Dog, and when I got home I found out that there was NO BACON... Then I looked on the bag and it says "BCDOG" NO BACON. I mean I get charged for a bacon cheese dog price, $5.49 and ended up getting a cheese dog which costs $4.49. He didn't even read my order back to me and just wanted my money and move on. I only requested for NO ONIONS not no BACON as it would defeat the purpose of paying more for bacon. I don't understand how you can order a bacon cheese dog and get no bacon, i'm pretty sure that a bacon cheese dog without bacon is a cheese dog which is cheaper. In the end, I have no clue how Michael screwed up my order but I feel this place is dishonest and cheats customers. I did notice one of the cooks asking Michel what to do since since it said "bacon cheese dog" with no bacon. He didn't even bother coming up to me and asking me to clarify my order. Summary: 1. Ordered bacon cheese dog with no onions. 2. Charged for bacon cheese dog. 3. Order comes out and says "bacon cheese dog no bacon" 4. Was charged the price of a bacon cheese dog and got a cheese dog because someone put NO BACON on my order when I didn't request that. 5. Find out there is no bacon inside the hot dog. read more

The food is so good I could easily spend all my money here. I just wanna know what's with all the peanuts?

Last time I came her the lady messed up my order. So 3 weeks later the same dumbass lady messed up my order! The lady in the back be hella rude. Ask for my refund back! Never coming here again ! I hope they close! stupid ass workers. (4 Hispanic lady workers) read more

I have has them before in Fairfield and fell in love. I've been waiting for this location to open as I'm not in Fairfield very often. I went in about a week after they opened and the line was crazy long. It took 15-20 minutes just to place my order and another 15-20 to receive my food. Service was good. The fries are amazing!!! The burger is just OK. (I honestly prefer in & out). But the reason I give this place 3 stars is because it is ridiculously unhealthy. I ate my food around 730 and was in a coma after that until 11. I felt as tho I'd been drugged. I did not like that feeling at all. Thats the 2nd time thats happened. I have to say that I will probably never eat another burger from there again but I will definitely go back for fries. read more

big dude is extra cool but the little dude with the long hair is dumb as a rock! I ordered a SMALL cheeseburger for my wife and he charged me for a double? I also asked him about the Cajun fry Tuesday and he just gave me a dumb look and mumbled "I don't know". This dumb boy needs to get THE CAN! If he can't work a simple job like at 5guys? God only knows what this kids future Holds for him. read more

Def not the 5 guys im used to! Burgers were unpleasant to the eye, as they were rapped so tight they were way smashed for dinning in. The burgers here were small like a McDonalds burger yet $10.00, so you def dont get what you pay for! My recommendation is go to RED ONION right next door! read more

Lots of choices, you can order online and pick up quick! That part is great.. Lots of toppings, all the usual burger and fry fare. Except.. They don't have veggie burgers!! No actual patty, only a 'veggie sandwich.' What's up with that? Can we get some protein!? Please.. read more

If it were possible i would give it no fucking stars. This place in pinole sucks ass. Why the fuck does it take 45 fucking minutes to make 2 fucking burgers. I complained when i didnt get my order and the fucking lady there takes my receipt and says oh your order isnt here. Im like the fuck dude. And then finally another fucking 30 minutes later order is fucking ready and i said this is ridiculous and the guy goes well we called your number and no one came. Keep in mind we sat literally in front of the fucking counter. My number was never called. 6 numbers after me was called. But never mines. This is my first and last time ever going there. I get fast food places for a job sucks but it is not that fucking hard to call out numbers. Idk what to say anymore!!!! In and out is way better!!!! read more
