Five Guys has always been my family's regular burger chain franchise to go to. Their flavor is excellent and they are known for their value in fries that overflow from the cup. The service is fast and the ambiance is a no frills minimalist style. If you're ever bored and just want some good comfort food you can't go wrong with Five Guys read more

Lunch with two grands after shopping at Target and Five Below. We ordered single burgers which were good. And a large French Fries that were served in a tall cup with an equal amount of fries tossed into the paper bag! It is like a double order. We came for burgers; however, the French Fries are outstanding, memorable as usual! They're far superior to comparable places. Fries are: HAND CUT on thin side Crispy Not greasy Salted just right Served as a generous portion Ketchup is served two ways: in a pump and in more sterile (my opinion) Heinz packages. I usually pass on fries but not here! Service was prompt and courteous. Tables were spotless. Beverage machine was self serve. read more

So I had one of those days where I was running around and starving between client appointments. I needed to grab something fast on the go and you know, sometimes all you really want in your life is a great, juicy, hot and melty cheeseburger lol. I stopped into Five Guys to quench the craving. It was a bit after standard lunch time and not busy at all. The counter server was fast, efficient and friendly helping me with my order and my food was ready quickly. I ordered a little cheeseburger with grilled onions and pickles. Unfortunately, even though I saw them make it fresh, my burger was only warm at best. To my disappointment, my onions were barely grilled, they were still crunchy. The burger in all was okay but for the price I was hoping for something better than Burger King quality. This place has never let me down in the past but definitely missed the mark today. read more

Food was excellent it is expensive but delicious. The atmosphere is a little plain but I would not say that it a bad point to the restaurant. They have peanuts in the restaurant and there is a sign that tells a customer not to take them out of the store but they are out there for people to take. Which is why they lost their five star rating. If you do not want customers to take the peanuts out of the store then they should have them in the back or in a dish pre filled behind the counter. It is not professional in my opinion to tell a customer what they can and can't do while they are paying $20 for a hamburger. Everything else was excellent and the experience overall was great. Try it out when you are in the area or around one. I still believe they are worth it. Just do something about the peanut rule! Thanks read more

This is the review I never wanted to give. :( As a loyal customer of 5 Guys, Schenectady, my wife and I have enjoyed decent burgers and good fries for years. It's been a while since we ate there last and something terrible happened since then. We ordered single burgers and when we bit into them we both got nothing but bun. We opened the sandwich and discovered the meat patty was tiny; like what you get from White Castle, not at all like what we remember. For the price of the burgers, $6.50 and $7.50 (with cheese) one expects more than a measly 2 ounces of meat. I asked the manager if the burgers were made per their standard and he said "yes, they cover the bun" but you can see in the photos that's not close to true. Was this an ill advised April Fools' joke? Alas, no. 5 Guys has degenerated into an overpriced ripoff. This is very sad and I hope corporate will realize that this destruction of their value will bode portly for their future. Avoid them until they get their act together. read more

it was not a good experience. we wanted to try five guys bc we have not gone in a long time and we realized why we never went. its way to overpriced and fries were to over cooked, food did not really taste good, the service was ok, very nice people but could have helped us more. The ambiance in this five guys was pretty good, pretty clean and well taken care of. overall not worth the price. read more

I love Five Guys, but I'm still not sold on this location. A while ago I had a disastrous experience there. To the chains credit, the regional manager stepped in and contacted me directly to set things right. But I was just back recently, and was struck by the lack of urgency behind the counter. I also suspect that the griddle was set too low, because my burger was both lacking its trademark juiciness and its stunning crust. The fries were delicious though. Really it's a shame. As long as I'm being picky, about a third of the tables, those closest to the bathroom, are completely disgusting. Every time the bathroom door opens, you get a whiff of that entirely unappetizing urinal cake smell. It makes me want to wretch. The remaining tables are fine, except in winter, when they get a gust of freezing air every time someone walks into the restaurant. Maybe I'm getting old, maybe I'm forgetting about other locations, but when I didn't realize how deafeningly loud it was in there until I left. Wow. I do love Five Guys. And I love Schenectady too. I wish I could recommend the Five Guys in Schenectady, but I cannot. read more

Burgers were good and they do offer a great deal of toppings. The fries are a bit greasy but have a nice flavor. For me, this would only be a once in a great while stop. I prefer to eat a bit healthier. If you aren't watching weight, sodium or cholesterol, enjoy!! read more

My burger was not cooked. The place is nice and everything else was good, but this was seriously uncooked. Update: Five Guys contacted me and will reimburse me for the burger they also apologized and questioned my health. Also, they said they would talk to the staff about cooking burgers completely in the future. Like I said before staff is very nice, but uncooked burgers are very bad. read more

Five Guys - Burgers Near Me - Schenectady, New York

What's to say about Five Guys that hasn't already been said? It's the In n' Out of the East coast (well now they have them on the west coast too so that theory is shot, but it still stands). They have a simple menu, Burgers, Fries, Dogs. You add the toppings you want (otherwise it comes completely plain). What I usually get: Mayo, Ketchup, Fresh Onions, Sauteed Mushrooms. And if I'm feelin' it, I'll get Lettuce, tomato, and pickle. On a Small cheeseburger - which means 1 patty instead of 2. They can sometimes be slow, but that's only cause it's always made to order and super fresh. .... I almost have them 4 stars instead of 5 because of this. But decided for the freshness it's worth the wait. The prices are very reasonable. Burger, fries, and a drink will run you about $9 or so. I love the fries. You can choose between regular and Cajun style. I like both so I mix it up depending on my mood. I LOVE that Five Guys gives you a HEAPING scoop of fries inside your bag of fries. But I absolutely HATE that they put them in a Styrofoam cup. Come on, now. Really? A paper cup that is much more "Earth Friendly" as corny as that sounds will work just fine! In fact, from now on I plan on asking for them to skip the styofoam cup inside the bag of fries. Deal? Deal. read more

Five Guys - A small cheese and fries. LTO, mayo, ketchup, mushrooms. - Burgers Near Me - Schenectady, New York

Located in the Mohawk Commons. I usually get the cheeseburger (two fresh ground beef patties-not frozen), topped with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, mushrooms, pickles, ketchup, and mayo. The fresh cut fries are fried in peanut oil and served in a cup. Free Coke soft drink refills from the fountain. I also enjoy the complementary roasted peanuts from the large box near the counter. Overall, great burgers and fries! read more

While in Upstate Yew Nork we decided to try out some places. This is where Yelp became very helpful. No more will I trust magazine and newspaper reviews, nor the food or travel network (I believe most places tend to step up their quality of food and service when there's a camera crew present)...from now on it's all about what you, the Yelpers have to say......that being said, I Yelped the local restaurants and food and Five Guys Famous Burgers and Fries came up. Now this is a no frills place...I like that....where the overhead isn't wasted on the logos on the napkins, cups, bags etc...it's about the food and service. I would say that this place is the Dick's of the East with some differences. I looks like they have a standard menu that doesn't change, just like Dicks....but they have a few more offerings than Dicks...and from what I've read and seen, it's all fresh...they boast that all the burgers are fresh and never frozen...and the price is just right for a poor college student or the family of four. I'll tell ya what, you can tell the difference between frozen and fresh because the double bacon cheese burger I ate was one tastey burger. I also had a hotdog with bacon and large fry and pop. You can get what ever you want on your burger or dog at no additional cost. I will admit, my stomach had something to say not long after. I don't know why..I mean it was all so good going down. It might've been that the beef in my burger was so fresh that it was a shock to the digestive system, or maybe too much bacon between the burger and dog....but is there really such a thing as too much bacon? Regardless, if we had one here I'd go again.....I'll just have to wait until I fly back east. *UPDATE 12/29/2009* It looks like they opened one near North Gate! I'll have to give that one a go and get back to y'all....unless some of you get to it before me. read more

Mmmm *drool* *hllhlhlhllhl* (that last one is supposed to be that sound Homer Simpson makes when he wants to eat something) Firstly, my dad is NOT a huge burger and fries eater. He'll eat it but he's not super into them usually. So when he suggested that we eat here and said, "Erin's never been to one! Come on!" (or something to that effect) I knew it'd be good. Luckily I was informed that the regular burger is a double so I ordered the single burger. (Phew). I'm a huge fan of any place where you can put jalapenos on something so that was a big plus. The burger was delicious and really hit the spot. The fries are...amazing. I wouldn't say I'd like stuff cooked in peanut oil since I hate peanut sauce but these are...the best. And they gave us a TON of them. We ordered 2 orders of fries (or a small and large...something like that) and they put them in a paper bag and then filled up the rest. Yes, the guy who did this was a former student of my mom's but still. Delightful and way too much food. Can't wait to go back. Yum... read more

Five Guys - Bag o' fries...mmmm.... - Burgers Near Me - Schenectady, New York

I had never heard of Five Guys until my gf moved to the Albany area. After eating here 4 or 5 times now, I must say that it might be the best burger I've ever had. The amount of options for your burger is staggering, and they'll put anything on the side that you need. French fries are piled on with your order - a "small" order usually means a pile of fries that dwarfs the container they are meant for. Ocassionally when you walk in the place is pretty messy - which detracts from your experience inside. However, you can't be too picky when eating at a place like this...they do one thing, and they do it well. read more

I doubt I can add anything to the reviews of Five Guys, which has its schtick down very well as the better-fast-food-burger joint, but I'd like to dismiss this from my reminder list on Yelp, so here goes. I also will also try to refrain (unsuccessfully, see below) from the inevitable comparisons to In-and-Out Burger since they're not overlapping territories as yet, at least not around here, but there are some obvious similarities. What I'd like them to add: (1) better drink options for kids, e.g. milk or non-syrupy juice; (2) milkshakes (as a bonus, one thing missing that In-and-Out has, and they're a high profit/margin item anyway), (3) better seating at all their locations. As for this location, it seems pretty well-run - we've never had an order wrong and everything has been quite prompt. The internal seating layout is awkward and encourages bumped elbows around the drink and condiment counters, and in winter it's wicked cold in the front half of the store since there are no double doors. I can't downgrade them too far on these fronts since otherwise it's a good joint, but they're not anywhere close to a fifth star as a result. read more

I was at you store in Mohawk Commons today. The person taking my order was very impatient and when I had to correct a part of the order she rolled her eyes then turned to a co- employee and made a face. The whole experience from feeling rushed at the beginning to having to correct her as she kept on suggesting what I wanted. I've been to various locations throughout the east coast and have always had a pleasant experience. Will not return to that store or any other. Many burger options out there! read more

I love this place. Their food is amazing. I like their Cheeseburgers and French Fries. They use 100% real hamburger meat and no fillers. So much more healthier than other places I used to go to. I don't go to those places now. But Five Guys rocks. I also like how they give out free Peanuts. I snack on those while I wait on my meals. The only thing I wish, is that their prices were lower. I find them a little expensive. But for a healthy meal, it is worth it! If you want a really delicious Cheeseburger go to Five Guys! You won't regret it. read more

Hungry? Check. Craving a great meal? Check. Great food. Very popular during the weekdays, you will have to be patient. Vegan? Say no more. The first time I went here my Mom was worried that there were no healthier options. Well, there are veggie burgers... And right after make sure to find a bathroom lol... read more

Ever wonder what it feels like to have a cinder block in your stomach and face potential incapacitation an hour or so later? I encourage you to visit Five Guys. Listen, here's the deal: Five Guys does make a hell of a burger. It's not the best I've ever had, but it's really good. The fries are prepared in peanut oil which is a pretty good touch. And, while we're on the topic of fries, when they ask you what size you want, you may find yourself considering the large. For God's sake, man, don't get the large! You're not a superhero. I personally hold the theory that it is physically impossible for a single human being to eat an entire large order of their fries. The way they do the fries is that they fill up the cup, put it in the bag with your burger, and then dump another heaping pile of fries on top of it all. Even with the "small" size, you get a metric ass-ton of fries. No joke. I will say that the food is pretty heavy. It doesn't bother me so much but some of my friends sing the praises of Five Guys while they're eating it, and pray for death afterwards. Regardless, they keep coming back. It's no surprise why. read more

I like Five Guys in general, and my experience here was about standard for a Five Guys. Yummy burgers with a ton of topping choices and tasty fries with the skins still on them. They always give you more fries than you'd expect. I like that you choose between a regular burger (2 patties) or a little burger (1) for the kiddies or those of us who are trying not to gorge ourselves. And I appreciate the bottles of vinegar they have available for dipping. This location also offers a little entertainment with your food -- a liberally-tattooed staff person who sings and dances while he works. My one complaint, which again applies to all Five Guys locations, is that they wrap your stuff in foil regardless of whether you want it to-go. Sure, the foil keeps things contained, but I'd rather not have my bun at risk of smooshing. It doesn't always smoosh, but often. It's never gotten soggy though, so I can't complain too much. read more

One of my favorite places for a quick bite. The folks working there are always polite, always go the extra mile. The burgers are tasty, they have a lot of good toppings (I'm easy, I always get extra pickles). If I have any complaints... It's that there's no spicy Brown mustard. Yellow just doesn't do it for me. But that won't stop me from coming back! P.S. Be nice if the soda machine had Mr. Pibb! read more

Ordered a couple of burgers, 1 large fries and 2 shakes. We ordered on Yelp through grubhub. Burgers fries as good as usual! But didn't receive our shakes. Grubhub driver said he would go back and grab them. I called the store to let them know I was shorted. After an hour went by, I called to speak with a manager at five guys. He said it was grubhub fault and to call them. Grubhub customer service was good and after waiting to verify the mistake I was reimbursed the shakes. But in my opinion 5 guys is whom customer I am, should ultimately be accountable to make sure grub hib drivers receive the complete order before they roll! read more

I love Five Guys but this particular restaurant is by far the best. The workers there are friendly and always on top of their game! Food is always done fast and FRESH! It's also always clean.

I've been to many Five Guys location, and it is consistently great. I'm reviewing this locations, since it's the one I frequent the most. Five Guys offers some of (and in my opinion, the best) west-coast (thin patty) burgers on the eastern seaboard. The patties are thin but not dry at all. In fact, the patties are juicy and just greasy enough. They're seasoned and seared absolutely perfectly every time. And the toppings! They have at least a dozen toppings and they're all free. Even if you get every single one piled on. Now lets talk about the fries. Im actually not a big french fry fan, but when it comes to these peanut-oil fried goodies, i'll make an exception. For a top-tier burger for essentially fast-food prices, Five guys is a no-brainer. read more

This location generic as I have only been to the Westmere location. Burgers tasty, toppings good. Potatoes okay, peanuts are free. Ton of fries in your bag. Why have regular and large drinks when refills are free? Atmosphere college kid and sparse. You cannot make a truly healthy choice here, other than what is in the topping choices, there are no vegetables other than fries anywhere to be seen. All drinks other than water appear to be sweetened. Inandout Burgers (West Coast Burger Chain) offer for one, a Protein Burger, dressed as you wish, with a lettuce wrap rather than bun. I enjoyed the burger/fries/ lamented the atmosphere (even for its genre), and the lack of any healthy balance offered. read more

Five Guys is the best! Our favorite place to get burgers and fries. Always fresh and all the toppings you like for no additional cost! The French fries are amazing! read more

The burgers are big and well priced. They give you a crazy huge amount of fries so their normal size is a lot for even two people. All their toppings are free too, which is great. There are free peanuts at each table as appetizers. All in all it is great and is the place to go if you want a burger. open 11am - 10pm 7 days a week read more

My boys and I have eaten here a bunch of times and it's always super consistent regardless of location. Food is priced reasonably for the quality ingredients and freshness. We order 3 burgers, 1 regular fry (which is enough for 4 people) and 3 regular drinks. Total 30.00 a great value for a great meal. read more

There's something to be said when you feel the burger tightening your arteries . Sadly you take another bite and then another. Yummy. Great fries too ! read more

It was great. Fast hot and delicious. But it does depend on the driver. This particular driver had been here before and was Most pleasant. Other drivers can't say the same. read more

So apparently this place is a chain, although this is my first visit to any 5-guys. The burgers are fantastic -- they are freshly made so you have to wait a bit longer than at your average burger joint, but it is totally worth it. My burger was juicy and bursting with toppings -- the regular burger is large & comes with 2 thick patties. Thanks to NY state the place has to post calorie counts so when you go in you can see just how bad things are for you. That said, the small fries are more than 700 calories so I skipped those and had the burger only. 5-stars, would go back for another burger in a heartbeat. read more

Stopped in to the local 5 guys on balltown road in Schenectady. The guy that made my order, chris van dyke, was very courteous and generous. Overflowing fries. The burger itself was on point, which is no surprise. He even took the extra step and made a sauce of BBQ and mayo, which I'd never thought to try, to dip my fries in. It was excellent and the service was top notch, and speedy. This guy deserves recognition. I made it a point to ask his name. read more
