This was my first visit to Five Guys. I went to the store on Balboa Ave Near Genesee in San Diego around 7 PM, 7/27/26. I forgot my glasses and I couldn't read the menu very well. Mario waited on me and he was so incredibly gracious and helpful. I most definitely will be back. Kathy Allan read more

They were famous for the french fries, there would always be extra in the bag. Ordered a small and it was as small as you can get!!! I was shocked how few were n the order, I could hold all of them I one hand!! Makes this place just like any other burger joint now. Burgers are still good , just expensive. read more

I ordered Five Guys through DoorDash recently and the burger was honestly pretty underwhelming. I can't l comment on the service or the atmosphere since it was delivery, but the food itself just didn't hit the mark. The burger was dry and bland, which has actually been my experience the last few times I've ordered from them. Five Guys has usually been my go-to when I want a burger, mostly because it's familiar and I don't feel like trying new places when the craving hits. It's never been the most amazing burger, but it's normally a dependable option. Lately though it's felt more mediocre than usual, and when the burger arrives dry it makes it a little disappointing. read more

My son has been begging to try Five Guys, so we finally stopped in--and honestly, I'm glad he pushed it because this spot delivered a full-on burger -approved, mom-approved, vibe-approved experience. The staff greeted us with warm smiles and good energy. The restaurant was spotless, bright, and surprisingly spacious with plenty of indoor seating and a chill patio setup. It had that clean, open, "we actually care about our space" feel--not always guaranteed at a burger joint. We ordered the cheeseburger combo with drinks and fries, and everything came out fresh to order. Let me just say: this burger had range. Stacked with lettuce, tomatoes, caramelized onions, pickles, mushrooms, mustard, and their house dressing, it looked like something your cool foodie friend would post on Instagram. Not smashed, not sloppy--just clean layers and proud presentation. You could tell the cook had aesthetics on the mind. A burger that respects itself? We love to see it. And then the fries. The fresh-cut, cooked-to-perfection kind that stay crispy even after you've talked too long before digging in. Five Guys is known for tossing extra fries into the bag, and yes--they delivered on that promise. Crispy. Golden. Addictive. OMG-level delicious. They've got a nice lineup of dipping sauces, but we accidentally discovered a masterpiece: A1 + buffalo mixed together. I don't know who needs to hear this, but go ahead and put that combo on your burger and your fries. Life-changing. You're welcome. Even though the place had a steady flow of people (it's clearly a neighborhood favorite), our food came out fast, hot, and fresh. Zero waiting-around energy--just straight-up good service. Overall, Five Guys gets a solid 5 out of 5 from us. Great burgers, perfect fries, friendly staff, and a clean environment that feels low-key modern and kinda hip. My son walked out grinning, I walked out full and happy, and we both agreed we'd definitely come back. If you're craving a good burger without the fuss and free peanuts, Five Guys is the move read more

The food here is consistently great and takes awhile to prepare, but it's worth the wait. Tonight's highlight was Winslow the wonderful young man who took my order. By the way he's from Georgia and not Arizona. I highly recommend this place for the food, the managers who run a tight ship, and the wonderful staff that play really great music and even bust a move if you're lucky enough to catch it!! read more

Got my food to go last night close to close. Walked in to no wait. Staff was friendly Food came out fast. 1 star gone for the cost. $15 for 2 patties, cheese and 1 strip of bacon seems really high. read more

Came in for lunch,cashier was friendly with a smile. Was greeted and she asked if I was ready to order. I said I have a question. Have you tried the patty melt? She said it was great. I think I will try that today. I ordered it with all the fixings and made it a combo. Cajan fries and a medium soda. I got my order number then went to choose my soda. They have a Coca Cola style soda dispenser. Has many soda flavors to choose from. Lots of diet soda that I like. I got the Fanta Zero Pineapple. My food was ready in about 7 minutes. Hot and tasty! read more

Literally paid for a large fry but got a small fry portion. My son will only eat five guys fries and we go every Friday. This is the smallest portion he has ever received. I go to this one because the service is always great, tonight was no different but the fries are disappointing. read more

Last night I ordered through a delivery app and I encountered a problem. I called and spoke with the restaurant manager, unfortunately I didn't get her name, she was very kind and professional. Even though the issue was with delivery service and not at all the responsibility of the restaurant, the manager was accommodating and went out of her way to be helpful. I've never ordered from Five Guys before but I will visit this location in the future. read more

The cheese is never melted through. It's obvious the cheese was placed on the patty after it's cooked but if it's not cooked hot enough it's not going to melt all around. Every single time I go here I think maybe this time it will be melted through but nope it never is. For a $15 cheese burger melt the dang government cheese already. If In-N-Out can do it Five Guys can too! read more

It was my first time trying out Five Guys. I've always heard about it through friends but I've never had the chance to make a visit. Now that I've had my first taste, I'll come back again. The burgers are very juicy with a thicker patty. You can choose any toppings and make the burger your way. I expected the burger to be bigger but it was still tasty. Service from workers is good. I was given recommendations and the top popular orders. Milkshakes are very comforting as well. They aren't too thick and it's easy to digest. The store is small but there is plenty of seating. The store is also kept clean so I'd definitely recommend this place to grab a fast bite or dine with friends. read more

Employee gave me the wrong order of fries twice. I ordered Cajun but they decided to take the regular fries they had made and throw on Cajun seasoning. It was so salty. The portion was atrocious I don't understand why. The large fries had a barely filled cup inside and a few extras lying at the bottom. I'm Irish and haven't seen this scarcity of potatoes since 1845. I am severely disappointed even after paying over $11 including tip. read more

The cheeseburger and fries were bad and not worth the cost. The fries were flavorless and bland except for the old oil that they seemed to have been soaked and cooked in. The burger was wrapped in tin foil, and when I unwrapped shortly after, it was just a soggy mess. Again, nothing special about it and it tasted like the famous star burger from Carl's Jr. I don't have complaints about the service or ambiance. I'm only disappointed in the food. read more

Hadn't been to Five guys in a while and randomly thought it sounded good. First thing walking in the staff had so much energy and were so welcoming! Michael P. was the GOAT. He rang up my boyfriend and I's order and even gave us recommendations. 10/10!! You could just tell Michael is the happiest dude and loves his job. Great energy! Because of him Five guys is back on the dinner rotation read more

30 minute wait for a cheeseburger and fries. There were 2 people in line in front of me. I watched my burger sit there and get cold. I love 5 Guys and the food but I can't justify spending nearly $30 on burger/fries/drinks for a wait like that ever again. read more

Five Guys - Received the bag at 12:47. - Burgers Near Me - San Diego, California

This place is pretty good. they always shove extra fries when you only order a small portion of fries, and the burgers are pretty great with its quality. Service sometimes can be a bit laid over, but it's still a great place to order from. read more

Nice five guys location that is spacious, kept clean and never seems too crowded. Gotta love the free peanuts. To be honest I can't tell that much of a size difference between the little burgers and the regular size. Hand cut fries are a nice touch. Cajun fries are delicious. I would say this is similar to In-N-Out, but nicer and much more expensive. If it weren't for the high prices, I would give it five stars. read more

Michael P for President!! Had a great experience at 5 guys because of Big Mike. Michael P was more like Michael Jordan at enhancing our experience making it our best dining experience of the year and potentially last five years. We were contemplating where to go; chipotle, dickeys bbq? No. The answer was 5 guys and always will be from now on because of MICHAEL. Staff was also very welcoming, and made excellent grub. We loved it. Thank you. read more

The food was so incredibly special. The night was warm and the food was warmer. The fries were improvises and stunning with how special they could possibly be. This burger made mad joyful with a little bit of dessert. read more

They f*** up my order I order a cheeseburger with all the way with Cajun seasoning fries For whopping $23!! And when I picked up my order they didn't even comes with the fries!!! That is some piece of...... let's hope the burger makes up for the rest. Whatever. I did use their bathroom since Targets were doing a cleaning. Overall. It's was a bad experience. It's sure isn't the same experience on the military bases. read more

Three star food but 5 star service. Very friendly. Food was done fast, you could really see the team working hard to push out all the orders. Love the option of any toppings you want no extra charge. Burger was hot/fresh but very bland tasting even with lots of toppings. Felt like the burger patty needed more salt and pepper, perhaps an aoili. Bacon was good, nicely crispy. Cheese wasn't melty at all. Jalapeños could have used a bit more of a kick. Not really a fan of the sesame bun, a little dry even w/mayo. Fries were good, very hot/fresh/plentiful. Large parking lot/lots of spaces. read more

I ordered the hamburger And my husband ordered the double cheese burger- The meat was tough and chewy- the flavors were good just the meat wasn't as tender as I would like. It may have filled our tummies but left our pockets empty... 2 burgers and 1- I repeat 1 French fry........29.85!! 30 dollars, we didn't even order sodas!!! Literally 2 burgers and 1 fry, why - WHY so expensive? There are so many burger places that offer cheaper and quality food. It's an easy choice for me, when I'm craving burgers to choose another burger place that leaves me just as satisfied with more money in my wallet... 2 stars for their amazing French fries..... their amazing EXPENSIVE French fries , crisp and fried in peanut oil, my favorite. read more

The customer service was amazing! One of our burgers was accidentally made wrong at first but after bringing it up to the staff they remade it immediately with no complaints. While we were eating they came to our table and handed us 3 $10 off coupons for the mistake. Never had better service anywhere. 10/10 recommend read more

If you haven't tried this place yet I highly recommend that you at least get a small Burger and try for yourself. This is coming from an In N Out fanboy! I got a double cheeseburger with mushrooms onions and jalapenos and it took a little time to come out but I thoroughly enjoyed it. The quality of the meat is just Superior to other burgers...it's obvious. I don't really know how they make their cheese so good but maybe it's the thickness of the cheddar... I'll have to come try it again. My only gripe is that the price is a little higher than other chain Burger joints. A double cheese burger is around $9. That being said. Please remember....a chain is a chain! read more

My first time at Five Guys. I saw a poor homeless person with horrible scoliosis outside of Home Depot and I decided to buy him some lunch. I walked into Five Guys and ordered a burger and fries. There were 8 workers behind the counter, double the number of customers in the shop. Most just stood around. They can see that my order was ready to go. But no one cared enough to move that bag 10 feet to the customer. I didn't eat the burger. But all I can say is, no $25 burger and fries is that good for me to want to go back. read more

Came here a few days back, not sure why a combo at a fast food place now costs $20. A bit crazy I think. The service is ok, there's not much of a vibe, it's just a fast food place. The hamburgers are ok, cheaper at in and out though read more

Eating at other burger joints only remind me why In-N-Out Burger is still my favorite hamburger place. Five Guys is much more expensive than In-N-out as well. However I didn't feel like waiting in line so decided to go to Five Guys instead. I ordered the Little Cheeseburger and Little fries which were anything but little. It filled me up plenty and then some. However, the burger came out a little bit too soggy from the patty juice and it tasted a bit underwhelming considering all the free add-ons and freshness of the patty. It was far too greasy and my stomach is feeling the unfortunate effects of it. I did however enjoy the fries and they always fill it way past the tipping point of the cup which is wonderful for someone who loves fries. read more

By far the WORST service of Five Guys I've experienced. On 4/2 around 3:20pm the male clerk was either high as a kite or untrained. He could not manage the dedicated line for customers and continuously allowed people to cut in from the left (his right). Even the kitchen staff kept gesturing to him to allow the customers in line to place their orders. This clerk was a complete failure. read more

This place is a joke.. Not really a fan of Five Guys burgers but had to stop by for a quick bite. As expected, foods were average at best. My biggest issue was their service. I had to wait for over 15 minutes for my burger while 5 workers were just chatting and joking around. They were also rude and unprofessional. They should train their employees again.. maybe they need to hire more educated ones to begin with. Never going back or recommend this place to anyone. read more
