I knowingly went during the busiest time of the day, which is when the high-tech high students are swarming on all the local businesses at liberty Station. I was curious to see how long it would take me to get my order. I only had to wait five minutes to give my order and then I waited About 10 minutes or maybe a little more to get my order. The whole restaurant was full of kids and most of them were eating food from other takeout locations that they would bring in and sit with their friends at the table. It seemed that each table had at least one person that ordered something from five guys so I hope that's the case so I hope that they were actually patronizing your establishment while they were taking up space. I ordered the little hamburger all the way with no mayonnaise like I always do. It is usually dripping with the sautéed mushrooms and onions and stuffed with lettuce but today for the first time it was lacking enough lettuce and onions. Maybe this is what happens during the busy times and I hope it's not gonna become a regular thing. In any case, the hamburger tasted as good as it always does and I have to wipe my mouth and my fingers after every bite which is fun And satisfying. I really enjoy the condiment on this little hamburger and I enjoy that it's always under $10 for a perfect size hamburger for me that is quite filling. Thanks guys for consistently, providing delicious food and quick service and reasonable prices to both of us who like to come in for a fast food fix once a month like me! read more

Food is 2 out of 10 because it was done all wrong. I ask for a bowl. I got that. I asked specifically for no mushrooms and got a whole bottom of them. Asked for 2 patties only got one. Service was 1 out of 10 because there kids working there and they would rather talk and goof off with each other than pay attention to the customers. Ambiance I give that a 10 out of 10. The young lady made sure the area around me was cleaned to the best of her abilities even though my order was to go. Lastly leadership for Five Guys really need to do better with the folks they hire. This interaction was wrong on so many levels. I've place my receipt in this review clearly it says no shroom yet they were present and it also says 2 patties for which I received one. Long story short "Do Better!" read more

Five Guys - A lettuce wrapped hamburger - Burgers Near Me - San Diego, California

My niece had a gift card for this place that she received for Christmas. I have eaten at Five Guys at a different location about 10 years ago and this one probably about 4 years ago. This was during the week, so I was hoping this wouldn't take too long to grab dinner. In all the years, I have never seen this place packed or overcrowded. This location seems to be in a pretty good spot if you need to run to Vons or Trader Joe's. Place was pretty empty when we got there, there might have been 3 or 4 parties eating.  There was a good amount of seating available. The menu is pretty simple, they do not have a lot of different options. (burgers, dogs, milkshakes, fries-variation of 'sandwiches with the ingredients they have already) I always expect that if you don't have a big variety, the food you serve better be top notch. (just like In-N-Out, their menu is pretty small and basic, but it sure seems they do just fine making burgers, fries and shakes) Items we ordered: Cheeseburger, let me tell you this was $12.89! No drink included, no fries, nothing else. You can add as many toppings as you like but for that price?!? It was a fairly good size burger, all their meat is fresh and made to order. It came out all hot and melted, you can check out the photos. I also love spots that do grilled mushrooms and grilled onions. Got a large order of regular fries: (if you look at the photo, it is a pretty large cup of fries, which overflows in the brown bag it comes in) The pricetag: $9.59. I got a regular drink which was $3.39. My meal came to $29.26?!?! What in the world? I could have gotten a steak dinner for this price. My niece had a $25 gift card and she was worried she wouldn't have enough money. (I had to give her $2) She also ordered a cheeseburger and regular Cajun fries ($7.29) and a chocolate milkshake. ($6.79) That is pretty steep for a milkshake that comes in a 'regular' size cup. Cheeseburger: 4.5/5 Regular fries: 4/5 Cajun fries: 3.8/5 Milkshake: 3/5 Was the cheeseburger good? Yes. Were the fries good? Yeah. Would I pay for any of this food at this price in the near future? Nope. I can wait another 5 years. So basically a dinner out for 2 people for burgers and fries was $60. Yikes! Oh in case you are hungry while waiting for your food, you can eat salted peanuts in the shell. Service: 4/5 Ambiance:3/5 (just standard dining) Food: 3.8/5 read more

YUM!!! Was in the area so thought I'd stop in for a quick cheeseburger (lettuce wrapped) but had no idea stopping in would brighten my mood because of a happy go lucky cashier. Receipt shows his name as Sonny, how perfect, Sonny made tonight Sunny!! He was patient, friendly, and didn't even mind me changing my order at the very end (yes, I can be indecisive with calories, LOL). Anyway, just wanted to say, COME TO THIS LOCATION! Burger was made perfectly and all my additions and changes were exactly as specified. Here during a busy dinner hour yet the restaurant was clean and organized. Don't forget to grab some peanuts on your way in, though the food is ready quickly. read more

Let's be honest, prices at this joint have escalated, so I have altered my dining habits. I'll be back, but much less frequently. Small cheeseburger, small fries, and small soda for $21? Both my wife and I can eat at In-n-out for that! Good burger, average teenager service, and overpriced... likely only visiting twice a year now. read more

This is the second time we came to this location to sit on the patio. So convenient for riding our bikes. But this time we had an incident with these kids harassing us and filming us for their fun. An employee witnessed it and ignored us. I would not consider this a safe place anymore. If they aren't going to keep paying customers safe from this kind of behavior and tell them to buy something or leave the property. Disappointed and disrespectful from this establishment. read more

It's shocking to me that five guys manages to remain open at all. I had a $15 gift card and decided to check the place out, my girlfriend and I each got a cheeseburger and split a small fry and shake and it came out to $40! The food was neither filling nor tasty, their "Cajun fries" were indistinguishable from any other French fries I've ever had except for the fact they were less flavorful and clearly old. The burger was bland and the fact it was $15 was insulting. The restaurant itself only had decorations that boasted its own positive reviews, mind that none of them were left after 2019, probably a symptom of their dying quality. read more

Came here the other morning for a burger. The service was friendly and the cashier did actually try to have a conversation. The hamburger was delicious. It was actually one of the better hamburgers I've had in a while. The fries were pretty oily and just not that great. What really killed this review was the price. It costed me $27 for a hamburger, a regular fry, and a drink. $27! That's insane. It's unfortunate because the burger was good. But my wallet won't ever be coming back here. read more

Their burger is better than Shake Shack. But it's was expensive. Service has that feeling of I just work here attitude. Ambiance is sterile , hence has that clean, clinic look. read more

When you're hungry and tired but you just want something to take off the hangry...hand cut fries are the best. We all know that five guys had some of the best peanuts and french fries. The only other thing I like in peanut oil is popcorn like what is used in Landmark Cinemas. Sure I could have gone to the store, purchased a bag of potatoes, peanut oil, and hand cut them. But have you seen the portions for medium size fry?! There is no need to eat potatoes every single day, especially for this bod. Most importantly I appreciate that Alexis accommodated us by giving us fresh fries and a smile. "Smiles communicate a common language of benevolence." read more

5 star for food. 0 star for price. Always a good burger, but 13$ for fast food cheeseburger is crazy, even in CA and inflation times. 26 total for cheeseburger, small fry and small shake. It ain't gonna last at these prices. That's over 100$ for lunch fired a family of 4. read more

I love the freshness of the burgers here . All the toppings you can add for free, except cheese , what more can anyone ask for ! The cajon seasoning for the fries is always my go to . My tip is order the seasoning on the side so you can season them to perfection your way . I always grab the malt vinegar to dip my cajon fries into . Big fan of the smaller burgers but if you have a hearty appetite go big all the way . read more

Today's experience at five guys made me feel like I was in a cartoon--and not in a good way. All we ordered was one regular fry, for $7.29, no burgers or anything that would take a long time to cook. We ordered at 1:17, and by 1:35 we hadn't heard anything. We asked about our order, to which they said they hadn't even started. Mind you, the restaurant was relatively empty there were only like 8-10 people in the entire restaurant (as pictured), so it's not like they were super busy with other orders. Once we finally received our single order of fries about 30 minutes after ordering, we realized they gave us the "little fry" instead of our order of "regular fries," meaning we paid $7.29 for a much smaller order of fries. After bringing this to the workers attention, they seemed annoyed and reluctantly decided to give us what we paid for. After another 10 minutes of waiting, we received this (see image of brown bag of fries), no apology or sense of feeling bad for the horrible service. They didn't even bother to give us the fries in their regular container, and just threw some loose fries in the bag. In total, we probably didn't even receive the fries you would receive in a regular order of fries, and waited around 40 minutes for what we ordered. I'm not one to leave reviews on places, but this was the worst service i've received at a restaurant ever. Oh yeah, and I added a 10% tip at purchase, but I'm not planning on ever making that mistake again lol. read more

Overall experience was fine. Location was clean and spacious (almost empty) ordered 2 regular burgers and 1 cheeseburger -- no sides or drinks, it was $40. In fairness, they give you 2 patties. Burgers were made fresh. I had some grissel bits in one of my patties. At this price point, I could not advocate this franchise over in and out or any local chain. Employees were friendly but it felt forced. Might try again. read more

I'll apologize in advance for stepping on here as Negative Nancy. I'm a first timer here, and had talked about trying Five Guys for quite some time now. Im so disappointed!

Five Guys - Grilled Cheese Sandwich - Burgers Near Me - San Diego, California

This was the worst five guys meal I have ever had. It is understandable now to see why the place was empty at 1pm. The burger was alright but the bottom bun was so saturated with ketchup and mustard that it was impossible to pick up. The fries were so salty that I could not eat them. To make the experience worse the music was blaring so loud that I could not even think. If a restaurant is going to charge $20 for a burger and fries then it needs to be good. This was a waste of my time and money. read more

One of the dirtiest restaurants I have ever seen with 6 employees behind the line who don't care! Walked in all tables dirty, when I said something they handed me a towel like I work here. Then went to sit outside and trash everywhere on ground. Was afraid to go back and tell them I'm sure when would hand me a broom! All this and only two other customers. Sorry 5 guys time to close this location or hire a manager read more

On a cold windy night I overpay for a DoorDash order of a cheeseburger and large fries. After 40 mins the dasher leaves the bag outside my door with a cold burger alone and No Fries. DoorDash agrees me a partial refund but my autistic son doesn't understand why he didn't get his fries. I called the store to find out what could have possibly happened that this simple order got messed up and I got a woman manager telling she understood but there's nothing she can do and that I need to DoorDash the fries again! This is laughable and I'm done with this place. read more

Burgers were excellent. Made fresh right in front of you. I picked all the toppings I wanted. I think the biggest thing I want to rave about is that I could taste the freshness of the meat. Was just a good burger! Regular size fries was way too much for me and 2 littles. And they were very good. Also had the shakes, chocolate peanut butter was the bomb! Both my littles remarked how helpful and friendly both staff members behind the counter were. Was our first time there, and we felt taken care of. Both my littles said "every time we come to San Diego, can we come here at least one time?"

Huh...I think we should revisit some basics here. I got a bacon cheese burger that was more of a tossed burger salad than anything. The patties goes between the buns for starters, anything else are just toppings in between really. Of all the Five Guys I've been to, this visit has left me slightly disappointed at my overly priced tossed salad burger. It was quite a messy meal, yikes... I'll probably visit again and try my luck at a properly stacked burger. Probably update the review once I know I can get a burger out of this place. read more

OK, I promised an update. Walked in the door. Greeted by a friendly welcome shout from the employees and the smell of peanut oil - used for the fries. More on those in a moment. Walked up to the counter to place my order. Give me a Hamburger - did we - anyone in these reviews - mention this is two burger patties? A Little Hamburger is what comes with one patty. There are a lot of choices to add to your burger. Green Peppers even. I was asked do I want regular or Cajun fries. Cajun? For some reason I don't remember being asked that before, like ever. Okay, let me try these Cajun fries. Okay, order complete with a bottle of water. Has anyone thought about the killing these places make selling a bottle of water for the same price they get it for in a case? Took my seat and waited for my order. You always have to wait because the burgers are cooked fresh. The order comes in a brown paper bag. This is like a familiar pleasure somehow. I sit the bag on the table and tear it open. I always use the bag as a place mat. If you order a regular size fries, you will have enough for basically 3 people. They give you a ton of fries. Wait a minute, these are different. Oh yeah, the Cajun seasoning. Oooo, they smell good. Let me try one. Wow! Best fries I have ever tasted. Those are bold words I know. I found myself smelling my finger tips hours later. Oh, the mustard? It was just right this time! Good job Guys. read more

Today was a good day for me. You see, I came but to grab a burger and order their mini bacon cheese burger, but when my number was called and picked up my burger, I noticed my burger was massive and quite heavy. Well, it turned out that they made me a double bacon cheese burger! (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/five-guys-burgers-and-fries-san-diego-2?select=UrPqtkLOSs7X8wtc2uYrEg#-LCwRp9tDtLN8MCrWbQm7A) So, shhh! Don't tell anyone. Since the bacon cheeseburger was a double, the juicy beef flavor certainly came through packed with that great quality beef taste. The patties were cooked very well, a little over medium, and retained their natural juices well. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/five-guys-burgers-and-fries-san-diego-2?select=UrPqtkLOSs7X8wtc2uYrEg#_HeuVQuh3wGAgWW60BSJZA) I ordered the burger with everything on it, except for mayo, and after a I was in a few bites, the burger became a wonderful mess with drippings finding their way down my wrist and onto the table, but in a very good way. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/five-guys-burgers-and-fries-san-diego-2?select=UrPqtkLOSs7X8wtc2uYrEg#3EHVLeYpm_fX6AcDtsAFVQ) I love it when a burger becomes a playground off bits and drippings. The bacon was good, but was not as pronounced as I would of liked. The service was keen and on point for a busy lunch rush. The guy who took my order had a good sense of humor. I like the way they shout out your orders down the assembly line. The free peanuts are cool touch (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/five-guys-burgers-and-fries-san-diego-2?select=UrPqtkLOSs7X8wtc2uYrEg#m7Wb-HoFAlkOolscBA0ZfA), and the loud hip music is nice if you are into that.

One of my best friends and I headed over to Liberty Station to have a nice picnic and catch a film under the stars. While shopping at Trader Joes for some snacks, my keen eye spotted the small Five Guys sign and I freaked out. After coming off I freshly unseating In-N-Out as the people' favorite burger, you know I had to drop in and see if their best was really better than THE best. The lines here are pretty long and head right out the back door. Five Guys offers their guests raw peanuts to munch on while they wait but that has the side effect of littering the entire restaurant floor with discarded peanut skins and shells making the whole place seem really dirty. Plus, it wasn't really appetizing watching a bunch of extremely overweight folks jam their grubby hands into the bin over and over to replenish their cheeks with the stuff. To compare burgers, I ordered the bacon cheeseburger with everything, along with an order of fries. The meal took a while to prepare and there was almost nowhere to sit, especially not outside at their dog-friendly tables, and people would just crowd up the pick-up area waiting for their grub. When we did receive it, I noticed that the bag was completely soaked through with oil, and as Homer Simpson protests, it's no good unless he can see through the oily bag. I just find it to be a little gross. Finally the time came to take a bite out if my humongous sandwich and I found it quite delicious. Ordering it with everything did sort of muddle the flavors all together and it was difficult to appreciate each part for what it was. The fries were kind of soggy once I got to them, but were well seasoned and cooked well done. Tasty as they were, they were on the pricey side. We didn't even bother with a drink because it would have brought the total cost to $20 for the 2 of us and that was kind of ridiculous for fast food. While the Five Guys burger was pretty good, the question you have to ask yourself is whether it was twice as good to cost twice as much as the awesome In-N-Out burger. Ultimately the answer is no, maybe it was on par or a little better, but definitely not worth the huge price tag you're asked to pay and the distance you have to drive to go get it when there's a perfectly good In-N-Out everywhere. Sorry folks, I'm sticking with the far better value here and going with a double-double animal style. Food: 8/10 Service: 8/10 Price: $$ Atmosphere: 7/10 read more

Don't judge me. I'm in love with Five Guys. Nothing wrong with a fat Asian kid that likes burgers. The grand opening of Five Guys was today. They couldn't have picked a better location than right below my office. The smell of greasy burgers and fries fried in peanut oil makes me happy to come to work. I had my first taste of Five Guys on the East Coast. I'm a fan of their burgers and fries. It's a moderately priced burger place, but they offer free toppings on their burgers which includes grilled onions, jalapenos, and grilled mushrooms. They give you 2 hamburger patties and it's served on sesame buns. Since everything is made to order, you can help yourself to free peanuts while you wait for your food to cook. If you are there with a friend, just order the regular fries. They have a reputation of giving a lot of fries. I don't normally call out other restaurants, but I think Five Guys is IN and other places are OUT. A little about my credentials: I first got into cooking & food when I was in college. After being rejected by numerous girls and getting zero action, I decided it was time for a change. I needed a new makeover to boost my geeky, engineering image. I applied for a cooking position at a Mediterranean-Italian Restaurant near my home and learned to cook all sorts of pastas and dishes. I never became a professional chef, but I continue to enjoy & love food. 8 years later and 55 lbs heavier, I am now an engineer that travels all over the world trying new foods and learning about different cultures. read more

Another reason why Point Loma is so awesome! I like the free peanuts because it kept us occupied as we waited for our food. The bacon cheeseburger was yummy in my tummy and went excellent with the cajun fries. Order a large if you have someone to share it with because it's a huge amount of fries for an average person. I liked all the free toppings because you can definitely customize your burger just the way you like it. I was not a big fan of the grease dripping from the burger even though it was so delicious. Oh and i think if they added shakes to their menu that would definitely seal the deal! read more
