I love this place, why does something that tastes so good be bad for you?! It's so wrong! I love the burgers here, old school taste and you cannot miss out on freshly cut fries. I normally go for the smaller burger because the regular and a small fries would be too much food for me. The large fries are a great deal could feed four ppl with burgers. But the taste? I'm craving some right now.... read more

Been back twice. The service has been consistent and I have always been able to find a seat. All there burgers have been great and I'm still trying to taste one of there dogs. read more

I think is place is fine, not great. I would probably not be likely to go back. I feel it is over priced for what you get and the overall product is just okay. I would rather a Red Robin hamburger and it would be the same price. Not likely to visit again... read more

Great burgers, great fries, what more do you need? I'm probably here a couple times a month, the service is always great and the food always excellent. The staff seems to genuinely enjoy working there, which makes the atmosphere nice. It's my favorite burger joint in Issaquah. Grab a bag of peanuts in the shell while you're waiting for your order! read more

You know the saying "Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me"? I've only eaten at this Five Guys (or any Five Guys for that matter) twice, and on both occasions, I've come down with a case of food poisoning. The first time, in summer of 2010, it was bad enough that I had vomiting and a fever for the next 24 hours after eating their burgers. The second time (just this weekend), I talked myself into hoping that it was just a fluke the first time, so I decided to order a burger while foregoing lettuce just to make the cheeseburger a bit safer to eat. That thinking landed me at an ER getting anti-nausea medication and fluids fed intravenously a few hours later. Bottom line is:both times my husband ate there with me, and both times we both got sick, though I always seem to have the more violent reaction out of the two of us. We've eaten at many other burger places both locally and nationwide. We're also not delicate flowers when it comes to eating (I can handle spicy, greasy, and everything in between no problem), so I just have to conclude that the people who work at this establishment routinely come to work sick enough to spread foodborne illnesses despite following food-safety requirements. I won't be back for sure, and if I could rate this place zero stars, I would have. read more

I've eaten here twice and the food is OK but they screwed up my order both times. I would sit down with my food and it was not what I ordered. Had to go back to them both tomes and they made it over again. read more

Great location, right in the landing next to the local theater. The wait is always about 10-15 minutes no matter how many people were in line before you. I've been lucky, though, to beat the rush somehow. AYCE roasted peanuts in huge barrels free for the taking = YES. I hate when complimentary things like condiments are guarded by staff either near or behind the register counters, but these peanuts were just all up for grabs. Anyway, the burgers are huge, I can barely finish the Jr burgers. Nothing too special, but they do have a crapload of additions (A1, bbq, jalpenos, mushrooms, etc) for no added cost. read more

If it was based solely on quality and taste, it'd be a 5 star review all the way. However for this location specifically, we have had almost every order (probably 90%) off in some way. It may seem nit picky but when it's so consistently off it starts to bug me!! We order from here pretty frequently, sometimes in person and often online for pick up. Ask for extra mayo? Get none at all. Ask for it in a bowl (no bun), either get a bun or wrap. Ask (and pay extra) for bacon? No bacon. So just make sure you triple check your order every time! This is their one and only flaw, but it's a consistent one. read more

My husband and I have visited 5 guys at the landing a few times now since they've been open. Every time we have been impressed by the quality and the service. They have a great selection but at the same time they stick to the basics which helps with ordering and keeping things running efficiently. They have the best fries and its always a huge portion, even the small. We will continue to visit this place and recommend to friends. read more

So smart that they located themselves right next to a movie theater. Anyhoo, for the price and topping selections, I think it's a good burger joint. Pretty disappointed that I made my burger too healthy, so i'll have to try again... I think the regular burger for a girl is more than enough, and an order of fries is perfect for 2-3 ppl. read more

This joint was good to grab a quick burger. It is very messy, but it's good! I like that you can build your own burger with all the fix-ins you like and their fries they give you a very generous portion that you can just order a small and feed 2 people. read more

I can't say much but $26. 1 Reg. Bacon cheeseburger, 1 small cheeseburger, 1 large fries this was Huge was in a drink cup and overflowing inside the bag as well, 1 large drink. You probably could save some money by ordering small fries and a small/reg size drink. Along with your burgers. It was good. Remember to get your free peanuts while waiting...and Don't Feed the Ducks. They will make a mess on the sidewalk and everywhere you want to walk to. read more

Five Guys seems to have made a foothold in the area, despite all the competition they face. This is a national chain burger joint which has recently sprung up in various Washington cities, and while I've read many glowing reviews, I'd have to say they're pretty average. First off, the good: burgers are made to order, and there's a large amount of topping choices. Fries are fresh cut and portions are huge (a large is enough for 3-5 people). The bad: They do not melt the cheese into the patties, so you're left with a hot burger and cold cheese.sitting on top. Topping portions are mediocre, and the fries are not double fried, and thus end up being somewhat soggy. Overall, average at best-better than going to Burger King or the like, but not as good as a non-chain place. read more

I placed a to go order by calling this location, I was ordering 3 burgers, fries and a milkshake. After I ordered everything I asked if he could repeat my order back to me& he just told me my total and that it'd be ready in 15 minutes. So I repeated myself and he said "you just have to come to the store and order your food" &then I was so confused and said I just wanted my order repeated to make sure we are on the same page...he then repeated him saying I had to come to the store to order my food so I told him it was fine and he didn't have to repeat my order...he then said "thank you goodbye" and hung up the phone. I was so lost but whatever I guess and we went to get the food. When I arrived the guy checking me out told me he had 2 burgers, fries and a milkshake... I inform I ordered 3 burgers and even asked for my order to be repeated but the person who took my order refused...he then added another burger and we started waiting for it, for about 5 minutes only to find out there was always 3 burgers on the screen and we had now paid for 4 burgers and were waiting for the 4th burger which we never even wanted....we then get a refund and leave. And then when I arrive home 2 burgers were correct and my burger which was supposed to have mushrooms, onions, mayo, cheese and bacon was completely plain with only meat and cheese. HOW was this situation so bad why were these workers so confused and why did the person who took my order refuse to read it back to me. One worker also offered me the burger that was extra that they made and the other worker refused to give it to us and sent us on our way with our three burgers one of them being wrong. I wouldn't even be writing this review if he just gave me the 4th burger because it was most likely correct and had all the things I ordered on it. I will not eat at this location again read more

Tasty burger, great home cut fries, cooked to perfection. Digs are a bit sterile, but you can pretend it is a diner I guess.

What else can I say - several things going in favor of this place. Burgers are messy and damn tasty, toppings are plentiful and free, fries always seem to come out piping hot and have that boardwalk flavor thanks to the peanut oil they use. Speaking of peanuts, you can shell your own and munch on them while waiting for your food. They also have a lot of different fountain drink flavors to choose from, many more than you'd expect from a typical "free refills" joint. Each time I have been here, the staff works like clockwork. They pump out orders very quickly considering they have to custom-make each burger with the toppings you've ordered. Restaurants could learn a thing or two from them. There are a few cons - the food is awesome but it's absolutely horrible for you. By that I mean that Five Guys' burgers are usually highlighted as the unhealthiest things you can order from a fast food restaurant in those articles in magazines or in the life section of the newspaper. However, I'd regard this as a once every few months place - not a regular lunch stop. Also, seating is very limited. I have had to wait, bag in hand, for seating to open up on each occasion I have been here (2), and not at peak lunch time either (2:30pm). It's a testimony to their popularity - it wouldn't be packed if they put out a mediocre product. If you're in the area, and want a burger, you can't do any better than Five Guys. IMO they beat out Burgermaster, Fatburger, Kidd Valley, etc. read more

By far the best burgers out there. MSN or Yahoo had them tied with In & Out for the best burger in the nation, I've had both, Five Guys takes top honors. Love their Cajun fries. The only downside is they are consistently crowded and no milk shakes but with burgers so delicious a lot of people is expected. read more

Being from the Washington DC area originally, i'm already familiar with Five Guys. I was shocked to find one had opened right down the street from me. I can happily say that the quality of the food has not been lost in translation whatsoever. Granted, you shouldn't eat there more than a couple times a week, and even that's pushing it.(unless you're doing P90X twice a day-in that case have at it) If you're looking for a good, no-frills burger, this is your place. Just make sure you eat the fries within 30 minutes or so- they're fresh cut from fresh potatoes, so they don't have the preservatives of fast-food fries. Therefore, they go soggy pretty quickly. Also, if you have a peanut allergy stay away! Every time i go, there seems to be someone making a fuss at the counter who couldn't read the sign right there on the door. read more

I originally love this place, been to both tukwila and Renton locations, but recently I think the quality had gone down, burgers are soggy and my wife and I got sick from the Renton location, I was a regular, hard to go back their after that. read more

Funny reading some of the reviews. Don't like the burger because the bun fell apart? I don't eat a burger for the bun. Greasy not juicy? They don't put grease on the grill, just meat. What is dripping from the burger is the fat from the meat(juice), not grease. The fries are the best. Fresh cut, not too thin where you can hardly tell they are a potato, and not too thick where it's like eating a baked potato(Red Robin). There are definitely enough of them. Sometimes I get a few limp ones but mostly they are very crisp and the cajun is nice and spicy. The regular fries are a little bland but that is why you have a salt shaker. You can put more on but you can't take it off. Shake it till you like it. It is loud so I probably wouldn't recommend you take someone there on a first date but if you did, don't get the raw onions on your burger. Price is more than Micky D's but less than 2 Kobe beef sliders at a local wine bar($12! and I was still hungry). This has been my favorite burger since I found them in D.C. and will probably remain so for awhile. This is the way a burger is supposed to be: fresh, juicy, sloppy and delicious. Almost forgot, in many of the reviews, people talk about it being so busy. A business that has been open over a year is crowded and busy a lot. There is a reason for that. read more

Good greasy food. I've never gone away hungry, and to me the closest I can get to In-N-Out up here.

They have a good burger. Tastes fresh and homemade. The fries were good. My husband and I left pleased and would return. Nothing to write home about tho. VERY greasy. read more

Not being a burger eater -- unless I make my own on my charcoal grill, with meat and ingredients of my choice -- I can say honestly their cheese burger was good. :) read more

It is what is and what it is, is the bizness. Super fire! Spark N blow! 5 Guys don't lie!

This review has NOTHING to do with the quality of food at 5 Guys, which I have never had a problem with. This has to do with the employee cleaning tables near me with the 8 inches of boxers hanging out and wedged into his crack. To me, the belt around your knees looks ridiculous, when its in my face while trying to eat, it needs to go away. Maybe that look works elsewhere, while I am trying to eat?!? No thank you!!! read more

I called 5 Guys to see what the hours were since it was a holiday and this is how the conversation went: Five Guys: Hello? Me: Hi, is this Five Guys? Five Guys: Yes. Hold on. ...30 seconds later Five Guys: Hello? Me: Hi, what time are you guys closed tonight? Five Guys: 10pm. Me: Okay. Thank you. And can I... Five Guys: (click) And just hung up on me. I had another question but I didn't get the chance to ask it. I didn't really bother because it is a fast food joint so whatever. But after trying their food, it got me more angry. It was my first time trying this place and it couldn't have been worse. The only thing that compelled me to give it 2 stars was the food wasn't horrible. Fries came out soggy and the burger bun was soggy and broke apart even before I took a bite. I have no clue where all the hype comes from. Oh, and I also ordered a hamburger because I can't eat cheese but when I got home and unwrapped the burger, I found that they gave me a cheeseburger. Not sure if they were just being nice or didn't know how to get orders straight. read more

I had to give this place a 3 because they wouldnt let me do 2.5. I was told about this place because the burgers were so delish. And they were, IF..... if, they get it right. Now mind you, that I did change my burger topping choices mid sentence, went from tomato and lettuce to grilled mushrooms and bacon, and in the end I got all four. Wasnt the tastiest combination. And they forgot my fries. So I had to stand at the end of the counter to ask for them. Speaking of the fries... SHARE YOUR ORDER! Even if there is 3 of you, SHARE YOUR ORDER. They give you enough fries to feed a small country. I would go back and give them a chance since I love the Landing, but I guess I need to be more decisive before I open my mouth to order. read more

Greeeasy. I guess that's what ppl call it, to me it's more a gut bomb than anything else. Once a year I eat here for lunch at the request of coworkers, enjoy the fatty goodness for a few minutes and then remember why I only come once a year. I like being able to add all but some of the toppings and still get the ones I didn't ask for. With so many toppings, there are so many options to how to fix the burger. Fries taste old and soggy, like they keep them stored in oil day after day... Uggghhh. Enjoy the peanuts. read more

I don' think this place wants to be known so much for the taste of its burgers, as it does for the freshness. The burgers here taste very fresh, particularly the extras you add in (all included in price of the burger). One look at the menu and you'll see that they don't offer anything particularly "unique", as all of the condiments and burger types are standard fare at any burger joint. Five Guys has gotten bad press lately about how unhealthy their fries are and they truly are. The portion is large for both regular (feeds 2) and large (feeds 4). The saltiness is off the charts, particularly for the "cajun" style fries. This establishment is in a nice location in The Landing, next to Regal Cinemas. The music they play is old-fashioned which I love, and the peanuts you get to eat for an appetizer is also a cool little feature. Overall, not a bad burger joint by any means, although don't expect anything superbly delicious or unique, otherwise you'll be disappointed. If, however, you are looking for a solid and simple burger with some friends or loved ones, you can't go wrong here. I suppose this would be my review for all of the Five Guys places! read more

This is one of my favorite burger places. You can choose as many toppings as you want and with the recent addition of the coke freestyle machine, this place is a definite go to. The only downside is their food is REALLY filling (They give you so many fries even if you order a small size but I guess that's not really a bad thing) so I usually leave here super stuffed. read more

awwww no shakes??? really??? once we got past that, we went ahead to try the burgers. ok so had to ask what is a little burger compared to the regular. I thought little was a happy meal size burger but nope, it's one patty. the hamburger has 2. ok, one is fine. I am not that hungry today. now let's ask about the fries. little is how big? the guy who took our order said the regular is usually good for 2 people but I thought I try the little and if we need more, I will know for next time. little is REGULAR in most other joints. regular must be large! so am glad we didn't go for regular. great thing and maybe my only thing about Five Guys is add-ons are free! that is cool!! burger was bit greasy otherwise nothing to wow about. fries were bit soggy. I like that potatoes are local but local or not, soggy fries is not great. so ho hum...I probably won't be returning even for the free add-ons. oh there were 4 employees sitting at a table and chatting. there were probably 4-5 people in the back working the grill and registers and one person cleaning. It was just around 2pm when we got there so it wasn't busy. think there was one other table with customers so there were more employees than customers! don't know the history of the peanuts, sure they're free but I didn't come for peanuts. plenty of other people seem to like it but I think I'll go to fatburger instead. read more

Great burgers, great ordering options. Fries would be better if they were crunchier. Vague "50s ish" aesthetic

One of the best burger places I have been to. Their Burgers are salty, but I like that and they are NOT stingy on the Fries. One thing I noticed is that their Fountain Soda always seem to have the correct amount of mixture as I never had one that was too syrupy. Only knock I have is that they don't have milk shakes, but I don't think its fair to take a star off for that. read more

It's good but not great idk just something about the burgers and bun I think it's only good cause of all the toppings you can add but I think there's better burgers out there read more

Love this place, kind staff, great environment, and delicious food. Wait is a little awkward after you order, but that is to be expected.

Pretty Lame Burgers. I will admit the place had some charm, but the burgers were what I would expect to get at a cafeteria. Signs were on every surface quoted how everyone loves 5-Guys Burgers & Fries. There was some kind of assembly line burger making operation with 10 people involved that apparently required alot of shouting and tossing things around, Located next to a popular movie theater, the place get consistent business from movie-goers. A person whom was familiar with the small menu, that had less discreption than that of the uninitiated and listless cashier, may have been able to order a desirable meai. 3 sandwitches, 2 fries, & 3 soda = $32. Burgers - Mass produced buns with bland fixings- Totally Unremarkable. With all of the high quality burgers out there (Kobe Beef, Buffallo, Steamed Hams, Groumet this & that) , how can American Cheese on pretty generic ground beef be on what is touted as "The Best Burger." The sauted onions were tasty on their own right, but even these failed to justify $5 for this burger. My wife ordered a veggie burger and got a hamburger bun with lettuce and tomato for $4. Sides- If you like a lot of fires, you'll be in heaven. An order of Two Large Fires resulted in a oil spotted medium brown paper bag had enough fries for 6 persons. This would be good if the fries were anything special, but alas they were medium cut, skin on potatoes fried just short of crispy. Ketchup seemed to be the only condiment. The "Cajun" fries sounds like a good idea (I didnt see this on the small menu.) Order some with a small coke and skip the burger. Drinks - Soda Dispenser "Free Refills" & $2 bottled water. I am sure the teens teens that wander around the mall area and drink soda all day find it convieniant. I wish there was more to describe, but there isn't anything else there to offer, I did get to experiance busing the only empty table in the place to sit down, because with all the excitement and action in the kitchen, no-one was cleaning or taking out the trash in the dining area, read more

Im not sure why five guys is so popular but their burgers okay, fries may be hand cut but always burnt. Customer service is very good and prompt. Prices are high though, you will spend about 10$ or more per person!! read more

Burgers are great if you like a classic, traditional burger. Definitely on the greasy side, which does give the mm good flavor. The portion on the fries is huge so we usually share one order of fries (for two). read more

five guys is good. but in the whole "best burger in america" contest, in-n-out has it beat HANDS DOWN times forty seven. but honestly, i wouldn't rate them on the same scale anyway... i feel like five guys is more of a restaurant burger in a semi-fastfood setting simply because of the incredible range of customization you can do. the prices may seem a bit steep but it IS good quality and it IS fresh. they'll call out the patties needed for your order and you can see your order being put together. i am not a fan of the fries... i am in love with mcdonald's and in-n-out fries... the "real potato" style stuff is for the birds. mmmm overprocessed starch!! however, if you do like this style of fry, rejoice. you get the cup size that you order (regular or large) and THEN a ton of overflow. the fry servings are ridiculously generous. the drawings on the wall are fun and the peanuts-while-you-wait are a comfy touch, and the guys at the registers have a lot of character. there's also extra menu options if you've got picky eaters... once i got a grilled cheese sammich. wasn't bad... but i don't think i'll ever spend money on a comfort food item that i can make at home. =\ be prepared to wait a little while if you come during lunch or dinner rush hours. if you're looking for a nice, hearty burger and aren't afraid of some grease, go on. join the rest of renton that's there filling up the dining room on any given day. read more

A good spot to stop before going to the movie theater next door. Love their toppings and, so many fries! You can definitely share them with 2 other people. read more
