Visited Five Guys Burgers again yesterday. Had to make certain the burgers were as good as the first time. At about 11:30 AM, the place was already crowded. Must of been Boeing's lunch hour as there were quite a few ID badges on display. Once again, it was the whole-deal, cheese-burger with bacon, fried onions and mushrooms and all the 'free' extras. Once again, EXCELLENT. Still not totally sold on the fries as I would prefer them to be a bit more 'crunchy', but they're still pretty good. I would suggest they do something about the placement of the soft drink dispensing machines. People tend to gather there and block access to the restrooms (very minor complaint). Talking about the soft drinks, fresh sliced lemons are provided for anyone who prefers them in their ice-tea or in their Cokes, as I do. I think I'm going to visit Five Guys Burgers again next week just to be sure my taste buds are certain that theses burgers are fabulous! read more

Until IN n OUT Burger arrives in Seattle, this is going to be the reigning burger joint! I do love Dick's Drive in, but I just don't think it can compete at the same level as a Five Guys. You have to try the burgers here, they are sooo flavorful. I find that the small version is enough food for me. If you're a burger fan, you'll enjoy this place. At the Renton location, parking is usually pretty easy to find on the street. The wait isn't long, self service sodas and free peanuts. read more

Amazing food as usual! Great service 15 minutes before close, and the employees were still happy to be there. Couldn't ask for anything else. They also have the coca cola freestyle machine...who doesn't love 200+ flavors of soda. read more

Maybe it's because of all the hype, but I was really expecting more of this place...While the service was fast,there burgers weren't anything special. In my opinion Burgermaster, in and out and red mill have much better burgers. five guy's fries are good though.... Keep in mind, their little burgers are 1 Patty and their regular burgers are 2 patties. ** we came back because we had just gotten out of a movie and were starving. We actually liked the burgers this time. I would never seek a five guy burger, but if I'm in the area I'd definitely eat here again :) read more

It's a little out of the way to go for a burger, but they are tasty. Better than the new Angus burgers from McDonald's, and cheaper, too! The patties are thick and juicy. We got the small hamburgers with an order of fries. The smalls are definitely a fine size. Don't bother with bigger unless you are absolutely starving. Altogether it was $11. Loads of fries, and they're like the kind I get down the ocean back home. They're a little on the soft side, so it depends on if you like them like that or not. Flavor--the lettuce is shredded, so that makes it messier. In addition, the grilled mushrooms aren't quite grilled, so I wouldn't recommend them. They're still rubbery. The tomatoes are really fresh. For those trying to find it, old GPS maps and Google don't work properly. Use Bing instead and it has the right spot. It got really crowded after we were almost done eating, but it seems like the flow about matches the seats, so I don't think you should have trouble finding a spot. 4 stars because it's good, but doesn't completely wow me. I would like to have the option of smaller fries (like a kid-size) for times when I am by myself. Maybe also some milkshakes. read more

Sadly, we don't have In-N-Out in Seattle, but yay to having FIVE GUYS! My favorite thing about this place: You get to choose what's on your burger. I looove loading mine. I usually get the cheeseburger with mayo, onions, lettuce, ketchup, mustard, jalapenos, A-1 sauce and hot sauce. Soooo goood and juicy with cheese melting right off the patty. Their fries are pretty good - made from freshly cut potatoes. I also like their variety of fountain drinks. Service is always good here. The people are friendly and cheerful. I always walk out satisfied. read more

Five Guys - Burgers Near Me - Renton, Washington

What's not to love!? Seriously. You can't go wrong with "fresh ground beef" and "nothing is ever frozen." Not to mention, "There are over 250,000 possibilities to order a burger at Five Guys." Holy smokes! And, all the toppings are free! I've never seen a joint pile on the goodies gratis. The fries are great (fried in peanut oil) ... the BBQ sauce is yummy... and the employees were super nice and helpful. Awesome burger joint! read more

Five Guys - Little Bacon Cheeseburger - Burgers Near Me - Renton, Washington

The staff is awesome, they're very nice and do their very best to accommodate each guest. The food itself is okay. It's pretty much the same as dicks but with a higher price point (not ridiculously high, just higher). All in all I would probably only eat here again if I was already at the landing and the family requested it. read more

I have been here numerous times. I am very find of FGs, particularly this one. I wouldn't consider then to be consistent with the fries but, theyre never bad. read more

Five Guys has the start of a good burger. Sucks they don't salt their patties. Sucks even more they won't do it on request! Cashier says "that's because it wouldn't be Five Guys!" Well shit, how many guys would it be then? Whatever. I guess for "my way" there is McDonald's. read more

Valentina was at the register! She's AMAZING. PLEASE give her a raise. She is so polite and has given the best customer service on EARTH. Place is clean and fast service. The cooks were amazing and everyone has positive vibes and encouraging words to each other! I heard them saying good job to each other while it was busy! Wow I would honestly love to work with these amazing people! I've never seen such a wonderful work environment and positivity between the staff. Great job you guys! Keep it up! I will definitely be coming back!!!! I would also recommend this place to anyone who love to eat yummy well seasoned food! read more

Good burgers, wait was a bit long but the burger was solid. Fry portions are generous though some of them were overcooked/burnt/over fried. Like the peanuts in the dining room, nice touch. For the price I expect slightly better burger and fries. read more

Heard it beat "In n Out" so I thought I'd give it a try after all these years. Yes, I'm a first timer to Five Guys, and I must say. The burger is good, but overall value has to go to In n Out. For what I paid for 1 Burger,Fries, and a small soda, I could've had 2 in n out meals. read more

Nice place to grab a bite but you will have to spend about 5 minutes waiting for your order if there is no line, had a clean restroom not like some other places I had been, inside is fair atmosphere located near the Lake Washington Park. read more

Very disappointed with Five guys Tonight, they turned us away after taking an hour out of out trip to satisfy their online customers instead of their in-person customers. read more

One star for a popular burger chain? How is that possible? well... let me tell you: The meat was just bland, greasy, overcooked beef. Absolutely ZERO seasoning of the meat. Salt, at least, would have been an improvement. I got a double cheeseburger and I gotta say it was a mushy, bland lump of unseasoned beef between soggy buns. Over half the cheese was stuck to the wrapper. The fries weren't anything to write home about... undercooked and withered with age. And I waited 15 minutes... standing up for lack of a table... for my burger and fries. For a place renowned for its efficiency and supposedly amazing burgers, frankly I'd have been happier at McDonald's read more

I actually think this place is gross and the plainest thing you could ever eat. There's not much flavor is anything. The burgers just slip off everything b/c you can see the grease dripping. Fries? McDonalds can beat their fries to me. People rave about this place, but it's not the best at all. Sloppy, greasy,no taste. There was nothing I liked about this place. read more

It was my second time here but my first time trying the food. I came here a week or so earlier on a food delivery mission for a friend of mine that was working close by and "starving to death!" I wasn't hungry at the time and I had dinner plans so I gladly executed the "little cheese" recon. I was back again for said friend but this time I was the one starving and I knew from the smell alone that this place was going to be grubbin and it was! The patties are made on the spot as you order, no prefabricated frozen anything, even the fries are freshly chopped. They don't have a huge menu and I like that, stick with the basics and do it right. The burgers are big, juicy, oily and taste homemade. Plus they come with anything you could ever want, though I don't remember if they have egg as an option, hmm... But I digress, the fries are hand cut, a bit oily but just as delicious. Plus even with a regular order you get a freaking bag full! I like how they had peanuts to hold you over while you wait too. Since everything is made to order it takes a few extra minutes but it's worth the wait! If you love burgers you gotta try 5 guys. I guess my only complaint was that my burger seemed a bit thick on the mayo and that kind of over powered the other flavors but it didn't tarnish my experience too much, I'll definitely be back. read more

PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT: FOOD ALLERGY NOTICE!!!! THERE ARE BOXES OF PEANUTS IN DINING AREA FREE FOR THE TAKING!!! FRIES ARE COOKED IN 100% PEANUT OIL!!! IF YOU ARE ALLERGIC TO PEANUTS & OR THE DUST STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!!! And now back to your expected review. I really ENJOYED my burger, it was fresh, toppings good, not too much bread on the burger. I had the bacon cheese burger and FIVE Guys did not disappoint! I had just about EVERYTHING on it. My lil Jr Prince had the same (minus tomato's) and my lil Princess had Cheese Burger. We where all pleased with burgers, wish we had ordered the Cajun Fries (we had regular). Service was superb! I noticed each patron is greeted genuinely friendly with enthusiasm! Burger moist juicy REAL MEAT!! Toppings fresh and crispy! We will have to bring Mr. here!!! Wish they had cold beer! read more

15 minute wait for the nastiest burger and fries I've had in a long time. One burger was ordered with bacon and came with no bacon and cheese. How difficult is it to make an order right? The burgers were tasteless and the fries greasy. It was the biggest waste of $24 I've had eating. NEVER going to any of the 5 guys burgers again. Nasty is the best way to describe the food. read more

Do you have any idea how RARE it is for a picky, over-educated SOB like me (Kitchen education, that is. Chef for 30+ years...Y'know how they say "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing"? They don't tell you that a LOT of knowledge is WORSE.) to find ANY restaurant that lives up to its hype? Especially a chain restaurant that is, by all business standards, growing WAAAAY too fast? It's almost an article of faith: Rapid Growth + Geographic Spread = Lower Quality. It ALWAYS happens. Except to Five Guys Burgers and Fries. This past Saturday evening, August 1st, we went to the first Washington location, in Renton's "The Landing" shopping center, and had what can only be called a red-letter experience. In eighteen years in the Seattle area, I've had MAYBE three hamburgers that I thought were even a fair approximation of the sort of burgers I used to eat in other parts of the country. The formula is childishly simple but almost NO ONE does it: substantial patty with adequate fat content (25-30%), bun that actually tastes like something, fresh condiments, proper cooking, served HOT. And that's what we got at 5 Guys. Their beef is high in fat, yes, but unless you're likely to start eating at 5 Guys every night of the week, I can't for the life of me see why you'd care. 5 Guys is a TREAT and should be approached as such. Theor modified "build your own" concept is as intelligent as any I've ever seen: One patty or two, choose any or all of about a dozen condiments, price broken down by just patties and bacon and cheese. Fries are extra, a modest range of other stuff available. That's IT. I ordered two patties with bacon and cheese and was stunned to find three wide, thick, generous slices of nicely crisped, hickory-smoked bacon, instead of the paper-thin "value bacon" I've become accustomed to seeing. The flavor of the deep, rich, satisfying beef came roaring through my range of condiments. The lettuce was crackling fresh, the pickles were garlic dills, and the onions were sweet Spanish yellows. Nothing was laid on with a heavy hand; no padding out with lettuce to make the sandwich look substantial, ala the late-unlamented Daly's. No quart glop of mayo. Just a nicely-balanced, thoughtful, properly applied group of condiments that offered all the flavors in every bite. The cooking and prep line was a model of efficiency, with the cooks constantly talking and communicating about the orders and their expediter organizing and moving service along. Their line isn't all tarted up with the wretched excess of unnecessary bins and trays and shelves you see in most fast-food operations. Steel table, minimal clutter, easy preparation. The food gets to you HOT, which is really half the battle. My ONLY hesitation at all was - as usual for me - the bun. 5 Guys does the standard deli-wrap thing of that foil-paper hybrid that allegedly keeps the moisture in but soaks up the excess into the paper. It DOES NOT work and I wish restaurants would quit insisting that it does. 5 Guys would be FAR better served to put the sandwich into a large, lined deli boat and serve it unwrapped, for eat-in orders. It isn't going to get cold between the counter and the table but it WILL get soggy that fast. My bun fell apart before I ever got the sandwich out of the wrapper. The bun tasted good when I did get it to my mouth - that, in itself, a rarity on the order of the narwahl whale - but a little thinking would have prevented the one and only sour note in an otherwise wonderful evening. The last two burgers on our Burger of The Month search could scarcely have been more different. Jak's, a restaurant I love for fine-dining entrees, left me completely cold with their over-thought, under-realized steakhouse burger. I ate it, it tasted okay, and I left thinking: Meh. Leaving 5 Guys, I was tempted to applaud. A Real Burger from a REAL Burger Joint! What's next? Real NY-style pizza? read more

/.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.\ Yelp Burger of the Month Review. &%$&%$&% (#########) \,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,/ I am a big local restaurant guy but I have to give it to Five guys burgers and fries. I might have prejudices of chain restaurants and fast food joints but Five guys gives this little engine that could vibe with awesome quality burgers that comes standard with two juicy beef never frozen patties and a list of topping for free. I have been to different locations around the states and been to the Renton location a few time and every time has been consistent . A friendly and helpful cashier that makes sure you get everything you want to blazing fast controlled chaos of the assembling team whipping up perfectly built burgers. While you wait you can snack on some complimentary peanuts and read the national dominating reviews of taking the best burger joint throughout the states and city that are lucky enough to be selected to get a 5 guys. At stressful days in the white house Obama is known to take a break and get some burgers for him and his crew to five guys. This time I went with the Yelp Burger of the month club members to sit down and judge 5 guys. I ordered the Bacon and cheese burger with grilled onions,bbq sauce,lettuce,tomato. The presentation was good, everything was juicy and flavorful and everything was fresh. It has a awesome taste. It might not be gourmet but it's a great spin from the traditional burger. Off the burger review I have to say they have awesome french fries. They post where there potatoes origin that they are using that day for the fresh cut fries and from watching them it appears they double fry them to give them the perfect texture. Seattle is a clean state and it looks like the patrons don't do the tradition of throwing there shells on the floor like the other locations in other states but they also have a consistent cleaning crew but I would recommend if anyone with a peanut allergy shouldn't come in here and they also use peanut oil to cook everything. It's also a great value and allot of bang for the buck. Preparation: 20 of 20 points Appearance: 9 of 10 points *stacked well a lil messy in a good way Burger Goodness:10 of 10 points Total.....................99 read more

Convinced the amazing Razzle Dazzle of the Riss & Delilah Show to try Five Guys after Ms. D complained of ravenous hunger for the 5th time. It is now 4 1/2 hours since we ate there, and not only am I still full (can barely sip down this dos equis that I secretly like), but am viciously fighting off a massive food coma. I think I'm going down for the count after this review. For serious. Burger was great, fries were great. Employees were WICKED LOUD. I was intrigued by the Mello Yello soda option as I vaguely recalled it from childhood (shoulda skipped it. It's like a stronger, more lemony, less fizzy Mountain Dew) but was very happy to see the Gold Peak iced tea. The cashier (Jessica) was very nice and asked if I had been to Five Guys before. She then proceeded to explain all the deets about the number of patties and condiment selection. I think I technically like Dick's fries better, but only because they arrive properly salted and in perfect portion size to the burger. I agree with the reviewer who said the burger seemed crammed into the wrapping vs lovingly wrapped. Presentation counts people! And while the burger itself was juicy and well prepared, I seriously could have used a fork! Be sure to grab plenty of napkins,and beware flying shredded lettuce. Location is good, next to the Regal Cinemas. The eating area seems spacious yet cramped at the same time. It felt like people were sitting at my table though they clearly weren't. Riss pointed out the room was anchored upside down. Or some designer-y term for it. What's the deal with the peanuts? Can I bring my own beer? read more

I started hearing rumblings about this place a couple of years ago that FG was starting to rival In N Out - so naturally, as an INO disciple I had to try it. You may think I am biased, and maybe so, but FG is no INO - not even close. The fries were horrible, just soggy, limp pieces of potato. The burger was ok, nothing speciala nothing I couldnt find elswhere. If someone else brought these in to eat, I would eat the burger, but I wouldnt go out of my way to eat here. Plenty of better burger joints - even in Seattle without INO. Very over-rated and a bit overpriced. read more

These guys, five guys, do it right in my book, titled "guys and gals do it right." The details have all been hashed out: tons and tons o' fries with a 'regular' order-in a 12 ounce cup and then they scoop in some more. The burgers are a lot of eatin-and you get to choose what they put on it, including choices like grilled onions, hot sauce, and jalapenos, along with your standard fare. Aside from the taste of the food, very fresh, I really like a couple of the little things 5 guys does. The restaurant itself, while not the most aesthetically pleasing, red and white checkers, is simple and not overdone. I love that they add the sourcing info on their "spuds,"-hand cut-nice! and like the fact that they're semi sustainable, not using trays (add some recycling options, guys, and you've gone another step! I may have had burgers as good as 5 guys, because a burger can be done a lot of different ways. These dudes, though, are in the upper echelon of burgerdom, though-check 'em out! read more

The line was long, so my curiosity got the better of me. After eating there, I have no idea why there was a line. The good news was the line went fast, everything else is the bad news. A lightly 50's themed fast food greasy spoon. Small and cramped the floor was dirty as were the tables and chairs. It was loud and not as fun as one might expect a 50's theme to be. The burger was room temperature, over salted and boring. The bun was fresh and good but I wasn't there for a soft bun. The fries were soggy like the lard vat was in desperate need of a change. The condiment counter was a disaster and mostly empty. The soda fountain only had a couple taps that were working properly. When I asked for some ketchup, it was clearly an great inconvenience for the girl at the counter. I was entirely unimpressed by the whole experience. I have had far better and slightly worse. It wasn't good enough to ever go back to on purpose and not so bad I would pass up if it was the only place open at 2am and I was starving for a burger. Given a choice, which there almost always is, I will opt for elsewhere. read more

Five Guys is a step up from McDonald's and a step down from Lunchbox Lab. It's great in what it does, providing good food for a reasonable price and speedy time. I'm a fan of their Cajun fries, be careful because it has a lot of flavors and can become quickly addicting. The atmosphere is decor like an old diner with their signature color being red. I must say, I have not tried their burgers yet to give an actual critic on them, but their hot dog is delicious. It's also great that you can put unlimited amount of condiments and toppings for no additional charges! Tell me about your experience if you've been here or is going to after reading this review:) read more

The Closest too "In-N-out" that you will find in Washington So went with a couple friends to Fry's Electronics so I told them while we are over here lets get a burger, as I had told them about Five Guys before they were looking forward to it also so we went in and ordered some Cheese Burgers, and Fries plus a couple drinks, then we found a seat, while we waited for our food, and we ate some of the free peanuts while we waited then the food came out and it was better than we hoped as the place was busy, the Burgers were Perfect !! the cheese melted but not running off the Burger, nice and juicy I hate a dry Burger, try to get that at the Arches or the King, I don't think so now the Cajun Fries are so full of flavor, it helps that the fries are fresh cut, no frozen potato products here, a small is a large else where, so I got a small and my friends split a large fry, and we both had fries left over when we were done eating read more

I first went to Five Guys before I had really started hearing much about it, so, thankfully, I had pretty much no expectations going in. A burger is a burger as far as I'm concerned. This is not the best "not fast food-fast food" burger or experience I've ever had, but it is really good. And, thankfully, it isn't so overpriced it pisses me off to spend that much on a lunch. I will admit I really don't get the peanuts just sitting in boxes thing. I couldn't bring myself to eat any. I have too many mental pics of little critters eating their way into bottoms of boxes whilst unwashed hands dug around in tops of boxes. just. gross. I like the decor enough, I get the places kitsch. The fries are the best thing they offer, in my opinion. I'd stop in for just those if I was nearby or shopping around one. read more

I just had Five Guys this past Saturday. The meat is thick and juicy but the burger overall is very sloppy. The buns were soggy and mushy, the fillings were good though. The fries were really boring and soft (both versions). Taste-wise it was above average, but the whole experience was a downer. In-n-Out still gets my vote for best 'fast' burger; too bad they aren't in the area. The way Five Guys just toss everything into a bag with no thought makes it a mess as well. I wouldn't be surprised if I start seeing quotes from Yelp on their walls since they seem to quote any decent thing said about them from any rag. read more

Definitely the best burger I've eaten recently. The burgers are way better than Carl Jr's and the new McD Angus - love that fact that you can add grilled onions and grilled mushrooms at no charge! The large fries were HUGE - 3 of us didn't even eat half and they were really tasty. Also, love how you can eat peanuts while you wait - little one didn't understand that you couldn't trow them on the floor here! Next time I'm in the mood for a burger on my way to work - will stop here! For 2 burgers and a large fry it was $13 (not bad and worth it!) read more

Burger is pretty good. Not Amazing, but good. The best thing I like about this place is that you can order additional toppings FREE. I didn't try to ask for double anything else but I was able to get about 8 extra toppings on there. Aside note, I did notice that the jalapenos they used where REAL) The burger was about $7 ish. Fries must be ordered separately. The bill for my friend and I came to about $16 which included 2 burgers and a fry. They have this tiny water cup they put fries in but you get way more than that. What it seems they do is fill that little fry cup up with fries and then take a handful and then toss them in the bag. So when you get your food you have to sift through all the fries to get to your burger. It's a good thing you get a nice amount of fries but I wish they put it in a larger container. The fries were good, I just wish they had larger fries so I didn't get so many of the d*** little burnt crispy nothings that come at the bottom of your bag. Also they give you free peanuts while you wait for you food/OR before you even order! Overall Decent burger spot, still looking for a GREAT burger joint... PLEASE MESSAGE ME IF YOU THINK YOU KNOW OF THE BEST BURGER IN SEATTLE. I would come back here if I was in the area.... I dont think I would make th special trip here though. IMO-Wendys has better fries... read more

Decent, I think a bit expensive though. I've been a handful of times and the majority of the time the burger and fries are pretty good and filling. However, I did go once when everything was pretty bad. That is the down side to a large franchise. I would recommend, but don't get your hopes up for a revolutionary experience here. read more

So thumbs down because there were several cute guys there at one time and they aren't there anymore...they now have girls working...kind of sad about that... Thumbs up, I only got sick one other time eating there and my guess it's probably because it's so delicious that I eat way too fast :) Couple tips: 1. Call ahead. The order will be ready for you, this place gets pretty busy. If you call ahead, enter the line from the right hand side and they will say "you're name's here" and then they will ring you up right away. 2. If you want a single patty burger order a little burger 3. Eat it right away, the meat is juicy and if you wait 30 minutes before eating the buns can get a little soggy. 4. The fries serving is huge, if you get one order it'll feed two no problem. The larger oder feeds 4 without any problem. read more

I really like the Little Burgers, and all the stuff they'll put on them. Locally it's my favorite burger. However I can't stand the french fries.. FF ..To me they're soggy even if they're made from Idaho potatoes... Therefore I only get a hamburger... No dairy products of any kind here.. also no onion rings in lieu of FF. Eat all the peanuts you can hold, but I want dairy and onion rings. read more

okay. I went back. Five Guys Burgers and Fries is better than Red Mill, I think, and there isn't that insane OMG SEATTLE THIS PLACE IS SUPPOSED TO BE COOL LINE WAIT that I've seen at Red Mill and Molly Moons. I bet Five Guys Burgers are more deadly but I'm not all that concerned with that, since I've only had two in six months. It's tasty food, and you're guaranteed to come out of there full. read more

Five Guys can't touch Seattle's Dick's. If you're going strictly on size, well Five Guys have it. But when you eat some Dick's you know you're getting something special the minute you put it in your mouth. Whether you want the Deluxe or the Special, either one gets you their special sauce that makes it taste so good. And we're talking about burgers folks, that's it. I had the bacon cheeseburger with "everything" or "all the way" which is mayo, mustard, ketchup, lettuce, tomato, pickle, grilled onions, and grilled mushrooms. Sounds great. Looked great. Tasted fresh but that's about it. I couldn't taste the onions or mushrooms which was a surprise to me. I wanted desperately to like this burger but really came away full but not feeling like it satisfied my burger craving. All I could really think was "I wish we went to get some Dick's Deluxes instead". We also ordered a large order of Cajun Fries. Like many of the other reviews state, the order was huge. I probably should have stuck to the regular size because we couldn't finish the large. They were fresh cut and the right consistency but again, the flavor was lacking. I think maybe they gave us regular fries and not the Cajun ones because if this is how their Cajun tastes, the regular ones must taste like air. There was nothing to them just a lot of them. Two bacon burgers, a large order of fries and a regular soda came out to $19. The price and lack of flavor made this visit disappointing particularly after reading all the great reviews. I'd like to say I'd try it again but I just can't see myself going here when there's a Red Robin two blocks away where I can order me a beer for about the same price. The seating is limited which makes navigating through the throngs of people pretty tough. And we found a seat by the soda dispenser area and they have this "tradition" of people drawing with crayon on little index card sized paper and posting it on some corkboard. To me, it was a bit unnecessary and it was also annoying since we sat right by where the crayons were located an people were reaching over us to get the crayons. Seriously...put it somewhere where patrons won't have to deal with kids (and adults) who don't have the decency to not reach over people and over their food. Despite the lack of amazing flavor, I'd still give this place a 3 on food as it is a decent burger and it was fresh. But, overall, I have to go 2 stars based on price and the crayons. read more

We love a great burger and fresh fries. What we had to put up with to get there was unbelievable. We happily stood in line 12/26/12 at 1:16pm for 10 minutes to place our order. They are busy so its understandable. When we got to the register Caprice the cashier had a tantrum. We stood there for a second as she said to us, "I just want to slam my head onto the counter." I looked at her and then my husband as if to say "wtf is going on right now?". She Then said, "My manager won't let me go on break because I'm the only cashier. I'm so over this. I'm about to walk out and not come back. I'm a college student. I'm better than this." I pretended to not hear her and placed my order. I worried that it was going to be to difficult for her and I made it quick. They opened at 11:00am. It was 1:26pm. Caprice is a typical selfish employee. What a horrible face at the register representing the store. Everyone could hear her tantrum and the manager did nothing. She was working the prep area. The food was good. I felt weird and just wanted to leave. I pray she walked out and never came back. read more

Five Guys is a decent place. I personally don't think it quite deserves all the hype it gets, but it is a solid burger joint. This Five Guys location is better than some others I have been to in several ways. The lines move quicker, the food comes out faster, and they have those awesome soda machines that give you like 100+ options for different types of soda. It feels a bit more cramped than other locations, but we were still easily able to snag a table on a busy Saturday night. The burger I had here was good and they put plenty of my toppings on, unlike some of the other locations I have visited. But I still don't think too much of their fries. The regular ones are bland and the cajun ones are over-spiced. I have to dump the ketchup on the plain ones to give them any flavor (the sign of a good french fry to me is when you don't have to add any condiments). I'm sure I will be back to this location if I'm in the mood for a burger. Overall it was a good one. read more

Hot Damn! - now that's a tasty burger! If you've been reading my reviews for the last few months, you'll know that I just relocated back up to Seattle after living in Southern California for the past several years. And since moving up here, one craving I have not been able to substitute or quench has been my craving for word famous In N' Out Burgers - a Southern California institution. That is - until today. I think I may just have found the closest thing to In N' Out outside of California. And it's name is Five Guys Burgers and Fries. Stopped in here today while running some errands in Renton - a neighborhood I find myself in next to never.
