Free peanuts! The burgers here are pretty big and have a soft spongy bread. I like that there's a good variety of free toppings. Everyone compares this to In N Out but I think the burgers here are a lot heavier. In N Out burgers definitely have a more crisp and fresh taste. A regular order of fries is topped off and is more than enough for two people. read more

3.5 stars. People often compared with In-N-Out Burger. The same as most people, preferred In-N-Out Burger (sorry for boring), but it's good for a big eater. read more

Warning: peanuts everywhere so if you are allergic you should stay away unless you are trying to meet a slow death. The burgers are reasonably price, you pay what you get for. I don't think this place should be compared to In 'n out as the patties are obviously different. The five guy burger has the quality of a good burger that you can find at any sit down restaurant. Similar in price with no long wait for someone to bring you your food. The burger has a nice juicy meat patty with a decent bun and condiments. Like subway you get the choose what condiments go on your burger and my rule is get no more than 5 because if you get everything, you can't taste the burger. The cajun fries are delicious but not knocking the regular fries either. Those are still good if you don't like the cajun ones. Also, it's AYCE peanuts. Just grab a tray and scoop as much nuts as you want. In 'n out is my goto usually but when I'm feeling hungry. I would swing by here every time. read more

Five Guys, get your act together. The online ordering experience is a crapshoot. And coupled with slow responding workers who don't get the orders right, this place is definitely not where I want to give my business. So basically, chances are good that when you place an online order, you will end up arriving there and no one will know what happened to your order, and then they'll slowly work on it and get your order wrong anyway. Lots of wasted time and not getting what you paid for. read more

The kids and I were running errands and doing some shopping when we decided to pass by Five Guys to see if they had opened. Judging by the long line, it was apparent they had recently opened (just yesterday!). We got in line which moved very quickly. Ordering was a snap and our food came pretty quickly. Pros - Customization - Portion and taste of the burger - Portion of the fries. Stick to the regular size and share with others! - Subtle heat of the Cajun Fries - Malt vinegar for the fries! - Friendly, fun atmosphere - Unlimited Sodas! Cons - Fries were too soggy for my liking; please cook them a little longer - Availability of mayo for fries, etc. They should have a dispenser similar to the one for Ketchup - It took a little bit of time to find a seat. The restaurant might be too small given the demand/popularity - No "secret sauce" aka 1000 Island dressing read more

4.5 stars. I FINALLY got to try Five Guys after hearing about all the mixed reviews and the comparisons with In-n-Out and I gotta say this place wins. SUPER tasty. However, don't expect a gourmet burger place because it's not going to be one. The ambiance is that of something that reminded me of In-n-Out or the food court at Costco. You can choose a grilled cheese, hamburger, cheeseburger, or bacon cheeseburger. You can also get the "little burger" version of each of those options, which is what I opted for. After you choose that, you tell them which toppings you want on your burger. Their options for toppings are pretty extensive and won't disappoint. I got ketchup, extra grilled onions, pickles, lettuce, tomatoes, and mushrooms. You can also add hot sauce, A1 steak sauce, raw onions, mayo, mustard, jalapenos, relish, and probably a couple more that I'm missing. While you wait for your order number to be called, feel free to scoop up some roasted peanuts from the boxes and enjoy! These are actually very tasty and my friends and I went back for seconds. I thought it was random that there would be peanuts but I guess they're trying to promote the fact that they cook everything in peanut oil. I got the "little cheeseburger." It was about $4 for a "little cheeseburger" which was about the size of a typical In-n-Out burger without all the extra toppings. However, I felt like the beef patty was a little thicker (and JUICIER), plus after all the toppings are added on, the burger is pretty sizable. I also shared a regular order of the cajun fries with my friend. The cup may look small but it was definitely enough for the both of us. The fries are thicker cut and they taste a lot like the cajun fries from Boiling Crab. This joint is slightly pricier than I expected it to be, but was definitely a delicious burger experience that will give In-n-Out a run for its money because of its abilities to customize burgers to each customer's liking without essentially penalizing someone for liking more toppings. read more

I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt and try Five Guys again and my original review still stands. I had the bacon hotdog which was basically a hotdog sliced in half with two pathetically over cooked pieces of bacon. When I bit into it, the bacon crumbled into pieces, and not in a good way either. I paid over $10 for a hotdog, fries and soda. I could've gotten a better hotdog from 7-11. The single star is for their wonderful staff who managed to turn over a very busy restaurant in a short amount of time. I also noticed that the lead in the kitchen was this really enthusiastic guy who kept the atmosphere light even in the midst of a busy lunch rush. Kudos to this dude! read more

I finally had my first Five Guys Burger about a month ago. Before I talk about the burger that I ordered, let me talk about one thing. This place was getting packed to capacity at 11:30 AM. Yes, it wasn't even noon and the lines were literally going out to the parking lot. I ordered the large bacon cheeseburger with lettuce. It was just OK. Not very good nor the best. The reason why I'm giving Five Guys starts with the menu board. You have to really focus and know what you will order, before the cashier takes your order. And the french fries are the most expensive for a fast food chain. Almost $3 for a regular order. $3? I could get a large from either McDonald's or Burger King and I don't have to pay $3 for a regular order. I much prefer In N Out over Five Guys. Sorry, Five Guys! read more

Finally got around to trying these burgers out. I'm not a huge burger person but every once in a while I just crave a good hamburger. My first preference for hamburgers is actually homemade ones, but if I'm not in the mood to cook or don't have the time, I will hit up my usual go-to fast food hamburger, In-n-Out. I don't like any other hamburgers from Carl's Jr, Jack-in-the-Box, Wendys, etc. I was in NYC and saw a Five Guys there, as it was an east coast thing. I was excited when they started opening them up around here. Walking in, you almost feel like you're at their biggest rival, with the red and white theme. I ordered a single and had them add jalapenos, pickles, mushrooms, mustard, onions, lettuce and tomatos. The burger itself was good, however I wasn't a huge fan of the bun. It ended up falling apart in my hands and it was a little too "doughy" for me. Also, they used those sweet hamburger chip pickles which I loathe, so I was disappointed by that. The other disappointment was I don't even think I had more than a single mushroom, no joke! I did like the jalapenos, they use real raw crunchy jalapenos and I loooove those. Fries were good but pretty greasy. Over all, I prefer In-n-Out, but I do want to come back and try a few other variations. A big bonus for this place is that they offer so many toppings, I love lots of toppings on my burgers. So I will come back and give it another chance with a new combo. Love having options. read more

Great tasting, fresh, meaty, filling, and juicy burgers. I absolutely must have the little bacon cheeseburger with grilled onions, and lettuce, with BBQ sauce and mayo. The bacon adds a little crunch to the already appetizing burger and it being "little" is more so a regular at some other burger joints. The Cajun fries are really great too. They've got a little spice to them and aren't too salty. Beware...if you eat in the restaurant you'll be sure to smell like it once you leave. read more

Five Guys - Little bacon cheeseburger - Burgers Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Tons of people compare this place to In-N-Out. Why?! They're just different. And people should just accept that, eat their burger, enjoy it, and move on. This place is major yummo. They have all these awesome FREE toppings they add on their burger! (Hello, grilled onions and mushrooms! They're your free friend!) Plus, you can order hotdogs here, which are just as awesome, and yummy. They also have really great cajun fries, too. Doesn't hurt that they have all-you-can-eat peanuts to hold you over until your burger is done, either. When you live in Sunnyvale, it's really hard to find a non-chain burger joint, so you really have to revel in the good chains that do their job well. read more

Staff here are super funny and nice! The burgers are more expensive then most burger places but these are def worth it! Since it was my first timed I ordered the smaller version! It was still a good size. About the size of a mcd's double cheeseburger! I ordered mine with jalapenos and it was the bomb dig! Just the right amount of spicy and it tasted great with my free refill lemonade. The cup of fries is hue and took a while for my family to finish. Gonna stop by here and order the bigger size as soon as I get back home. I would give it five stars but it's a bit small for my liking. read more

Mmmhm. You know this is the place. Burgers, juicy burgers, oozing, mustard and ketchup intertwined in my mouth. The fries in that fancy cup, wooh Yea, don't forget to get a handful of free peanuts. I think they add lots of salt. So be careful. read more

I've been having a burger obsession lately, and I stopped by the Sunnyvale Five Guys when I happened to be in the area recently. I haven't been to Five Guys in a few years since there aren't any near me in SF, but I used to frequent the Sunnyvale and Redwood City locations when I worked in the South Bay. I remember Five Guys to be really good -- very juicy and meaty, with excellent fries and free peanuts -- a very worthy rival to In N Out. Unfortunately, it's just not as good as I remember it to be. Perhaps I've been spoiled by Super Duper, but my recent burger at Five Guys was OK/Good but not great. It was floppy and mushy, and a bit bland. The meat was not as flavorful as Super Duper or In N Out, and the fries were mushy, greasy, and a bit soft. The free peanuts, of course, were still great. Overall, I'm going to have to say that the next time I'm in the South Bay and hankering for a burger, I'm heading to In N Out. Five Guys is still way better than McDonalds/BK/Wendys/Carls though. read more

First time at this Five Guys in Sunnyvale and things I liked about this one more than the SJ one: 1)Two doors! I don't need to exit through the queue of people waiting in line to order. 2)Bigger dining area which means more room for to-go order people like me to stand and wait. 3)Parking: lots more than the Curtner location...although at lunch, it does fill up. But in most cases, there is more parking. .5 star upgrade for the second exit and .5 star upgrade for the bigger spaces. Otherwise, everything else is the same from the fries choices to the way the burgers are made. Ironically, there's a Rubio's near each location(weird?), froyo shop(Pinkberry), and a Toys R Us within walking distance. Place your bets on where the next Five Guys will be and I'll bet that a Toys R Us and a Rubios will be nearby! Oh and the online ordering or ordering by text message is pretty sweet. Although the line moves fast, I like this option if I'm in a rush. read more

Five Guys - Five Guys cheeseburger vs In N Out cheeseburger. - Burgers Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

I came in to get a Keto (no bun) burger today- Which I did- and it was great. Issue I have is that I have read everywhere that if you get a Bacon Cheese Burger with no bun, they will give you extra bacon and cheese for no charge if you request it. I asked the kid at the register today and he knew nothing about this? Is this the only location not offering this for those who order the BACON CHEESE BURGER? Disappointed only because it's being advertised everywhere that this is standard for keto burgers. Please let me know if I need to escalate this inquiry to the Branch Manager?. UPDATE: I reached out to the corporate office by email and received a clear response that ALL toppings are free- If you order a Bacon Cheese Burger, you can request extra bacon and cheese. BUT, if you order a plain burger, you will be charged for the Bacon and Cheese. It was just that the staff member who helped me that day didn't quite understand the policy so the management said they will make sure it is clear. Extra protein on Keto is crucial- The burgers are the best as far as fast food goes and the toppings are really what make them worth the money! I don't mind paying for quality. read more

They are now serving hand spun milkshakes. We past by, saw that milkshakes sign and immoderately knew we need a milkshakes break in this hot Saturday afternoon. What's better than milkshake in such a hot day you might ask? Well...milkshakes and peanuts! The milkshakes were good, they went perfectly good with the (free) peanuts and the kids say the burgers are truly great. The service is fast and cheerful. We spent another hour after we finished our milkshakes and food just sitting outside chilling and listening to the great music they play outside. read more

Thank your always being fully ready to take my order and go. I always come to this one though I live by the one downtown. I know they will always be clean, efficient, and help me get in and out on a hot day. I liked see what seemed like the manager outside, talking to employees and checking the receptacles in the front. Thank you for being a part of my summers! read more

Pro's: Taste's fresh, not bad for price. Con's: Pretty packed constantly. I'm not going to compare it to In-N-Out because I think it's two different types of burgers, so I don't think its fair base it off that. Little bacon burger all the way, it was so delicious. Its been so long that I've had a burger that wasn't at a fast food joint and tasted like real burgers you throw on the grill at a BBQ. And the bacon, that was cooked perfectly, crispy all the way, and never went soft during the meal. I think next time though, I'll get the regular burger, because the little size wasn't enough for me. Cajun fries are good, not really spicy in my opinion. So I think I'll get regular from now on. Overall, tastes like a real grilled burger, price isn't bad, pretty packed, but its good enough to make me think about what toppings I'm adding on next time. read more

My boyfriend and I always love to try new food. I'm a fan of burgers so we had to check this place out! The atmosphere was very classy, I loved the red & white pattern. It was nice and air conditioned inside and very clean. The burgers was beyond amazing!!! They cook it so well and they let you pick your own toppings for free!!! One burger at a time! So there's no mix up!! Free peanuts to go with your order, my gosh! And the fries, was super delicious. I have to say Five Guys is better than In n Out. :) read more

Five Guys - Better than in n out - Burgers Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Waited forever while several workers just stood around and talked. Order was wrong, burgers had soggy buns. The manager (skinny white guy) was unapologetic and clueless. Clear lack of leadership. Witnessed two other customers complain about Issue with their orders while I was waiting. read more

Finding the place was easy even though Google Maps doesn't show it on Satellite view or Street view (New Buildings). It's located in a new retail space on the corner of South Sunnyvale Ave. & E El Camino Real. The parking lot is connected to the Toys R' Us parking lot if you miss the first entrance. The bottom line is that Five Guys Burgers & Fries is a step above In & Out's greasy burgers that give you heart burn. These burgers are made the way you would make them if you could step behind the counter and they don't skimp on the bacon. You can see a pile of bacon on all the bacon burgers they are prepping. Most people complain that they weren't blown away, but if you really expect to have a life altering experience at a burger place you've seen too many action movies. I consider these burgers to be healthier than In & Out's only if you get it with all the vegi toppings. It has a good taste, but I feel that there isn't a lot of seasoning that goes into the burger. I think the patties are purposely low in salt, but this may enhance the flavor. On average you'll pay a $1.50 than In & Out. The Pros: 1. Not as crowded as In & Out. 2. Hamburger wasn't greasy (at a lot of burger places the bun seems soaked in grease). 3. Cleanly restaurant. 4. All the topping are free, so you can essentially get a premium burger for a few dollars more than In & Out. 5. You can also get vegi burgers, hot dogs, & Kosher hot dogs. The Cons: 1. The patties are thin. 2. No grilling options (I.E. Medium Rare). 3. No garlic as a toping or seasoning. 4. No different types of cheese. 5. No Milk Shakes (WTF!! This a basic thing a burger place should have in California). My Opinion: In order to make this a five star burger joint they need to have Milk Shakes, season the meat more or have meat seasoning options, have thicker burgers, and have grilling options. I also think they should have more side options like wings, fried zucchini, onion rings, grilled chicken, & BBQ Chicken. read more

First, I want to start off by stating this: you just can't compare Five Guys vs. In & Out. Its like comparing Chicago pizza with NY pizza. Yes, these are burger spots, but these each offer different flavors. On to my review of Five Guys: I can't believe its taking me this long to come here! I am so loyal to my west coast (California) In & Out, that I didn't want to go anywhere. I am so glad that I came here. When I want 'the works' - lettuce, tomato, mushroom, grilled onions, and hefty double patty, I am going here. Forget about the Red Robbin, Carls Jr, Apple Bees, and Chilis - Five Guys has a dozen of toppings! And the regular bacon cheeseburger is only $6.19 - not need to sit, wait to be served, and tip for a delicious burger. My burger was perfect! The meat wasn't dry. No topping out did the other. It was balanced and sooo good! And to top it off the tasty cajun fries! Score! The professionalism doesn't seem up to par with In & Out's, but its a burger spot, so it is what it is. I love my In & Out and will go there for more fresher flavor, since they load their burgers with fresh(er) tomato and lettuce. But when I want 'the works', a fully loaded burger - I am going here. Every once in a while I gotta have some bacon and mushroom on my burger, so I am glad 5Gs offers this! Now if they will only open one up in North SJ (Milpitas) area. read more

Five guys has always had been a staple for one of my go to burger joints! Even when I lived in Colorado we always went to five guys! It's quick easy and good! We stood in line for lunch, ordered and got our meal with 5-7 minutes. while we waited, they encouraged us to get unlimited free peanuts. My burger was juicy, greasy and huge!! And we got the large fries which were cooked to perfection!! They were definitely have that crunch when you bite into fries. My fiancé got the double burger and his was nothing but meat and cheese in a bun! The location is conveniently next to Safeway so we got to go grocery shopping after lunch! The parking does get crowded but there is parking all over the shopping complex.. read more

I like to go during lunch time. There usuallybis a line but it isnt too bad. You dont have to order extra fries because they add a lot of exrra feies with every order. The Hamburg with chesse but it a littel greasy. The only reason it is 3 stars is because they are overpriced. Their milkshakes are inconsistent but they are worth a try. My favorite thing is the free peanuts they give you while you are waiting. Customer service is pretty nice. read more

I came to this Five guys location for like 2 years. It has been great. Solid 5 stars like other locations in the East Coast. But for my experience in recent months (~3 months), it has been bad. The food from this Fives Guys made me sick, literally, my stomach was not happy - you could say I have gotten food poisoning once. I will not come back to this location for awhile because I do not want to get sick. The burger is really moist and the meat isn't crispy anymore. Taste bad and makes you sick. Manager, you in the black shirt, you better listen. Ever since that previous, good manager is no longer here, whatever you did brought solid 5 star experience to 1 star. And you guys will no longer get me as a weekly (sometimes more often) customer. read more

First question the cashier asked was "have you been here before?" "No." Ordering a hamburger gets you two patties. A "little hamburger" gets you one patty. ... ordered a cheeseburger with jalapeño, mushroom, grilled onions, lettuce, and tomato. I forgot to get pickles and ketchup. Tasty, juicy, burger. I liked the bun too. I didn't really like the texture or taste of the fries - I prefer either it taste more like potatoes or have a crispier more thinly cut fries. Theirs were somewhere in-between, like it didn't know what it wanted to be. I'm still undecided on the "cajun" part of the fries, since the cajun part seems to be just seasoning added after frying. I guess I was expecting jack's curly fries or something. I very much love how they have multiple iced tea options rather than just plain soda. I totally loved washing the burger down with unsweetened iced tea. They also had green tea, regular sweetened black tea, and sweet tea. Offering A&W root beer is good too. Yum. So that summarizes it - burgers, fries, and soda/iced tea. What else can you ask for? (A good beer!) Oh yeah, I love how the burgers are numbered and referenced to the order receipt so you know which burger belongs to whom. read more

I've been to a few other Five Guys locations, so I was expecting this one to be just as good. I ordered a hot dog with A1 sauce and grilled jalapeños. When I got it, I opened up the bun and saw the saddest jalapeño slices I've ever seen and no sauce. I wanted a tangy, spicy explosion of flavor, but only a plain hot dog with teeny little wilted peppers. I know they're known for hamburgers, but c'mon, this is bad. read more

Five Guys - I asked for a hot dog with A1 sauce and grilled jalapeños and this is what I got. So lame. - Burgers Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

prob one of the top 3 places to grab a burger in this vicinity of Sunnyvale. can't really go wrong with what you get here unless they totally screw up your order... **knock on wood**. it hasn't happened to me, but I guess it could. pretty basic Five Guys location like all the others. this one doesn't have that fancy soda machine that I've seen at others but I usually get water anyway. the burgers are massive. get the little burger if you only want a single patty. I usually get all the toppings, minus the ketchup, mayo and mustard (Hot sauce and BBQ sauce is the way to go). as others have mentioned, the music is pretty loud here. you'll either love it or hate it. music seems to vary from time to time, we had some rock to go along with our burgers today. read more

I just have to drop a word for the guy with the glasses behind the counter. I'm gonna say Joshua since that's the name on the receipt. Anyway, I haven't met anyone as energetic and friendly as he. The restaurant is almost immaculate. Food came out quick, other customers are greeted and have their order taken as soon as they come in. Very pleasant experience. Heck, on my way out he was singing "My Girl" by the Temptations. How could anyone be this happy at work, I'll never know! read more

My first visit to this location, and like the others, they do a good job! They had a friendly staff. They seemed a little understaffed for 2pm. I only saw 3 people working behind the counter, and no one out front. The minus one star is because we had to bus a table to sit and wait for our to go food. Nearly every table was occupied, or dirty. Our order came up quickly, food was hot and tasty, fries were on point! If I'm driving by, and need a burger, I'm going back in! Thanks! read more

Arrived 45 minutes before closing. People were sitting at the tables and eating. Doors were locked. We knocked and worker came out saying they were out of patties. No offer to make hotdogs or any of their other items. Then he went on to say that they were short on their order and said they were out of food and walked away. Hard to believe they ran out of ice cream for shakes, French fries, hot dogs, etc... and had nothing to serve us. No offer to make up for the inconvenience of driving half an hour to get there, no real apology. Won't be going back there any time soon. read more

Noticed the long line out the door and almost left. Glad I didn't cuz the burger was great. Frys on the other hand wasn't all that. The place was packed and noise level was high.

Restroom was also clean. read more

It is not only the food that makes a restaurant great. Friendly staff as well. Today I was there to eat brunch and Overheard a delivery guy picking up a customer's order asking if he could use the restroom quick.

***Best Fast Food I've Ever Had*** This location is conveniently located at the corner of El Camino and Sunnyvale Saratoga Road in the recently built shopping center which also houses Pinkberry, Panera Bread, Pizza My Heart, and Rubios. There's lots of parking, though it can get crowded around dinner time as eager patrons check out the new dining options in Sunnyvale. With classic rock blaring through the speakers inside (and outside) the restaurant and lines out the door on grand opening day, they were fully staffed - 2 out of 3 registers were operating, 12 employees behind the line assembling orders, 2 cleaning the restaurant, 1 calling out orders, and 4-5 prepping food in the back. The line moved swiftly and orders were received about 5-10 minutes later. With a slightly larger menu than In-N-Out, you'll be sure to be impressed by Five Guys. Their philosophy of keeping it simple is apparent - they use peanut oil in all of their food and you can watch the kitchen whip up your order while you standby. Pros: *fresh, fresh, fresh ingredients. With over 20 ingredients to choose from, you definitely won't be disappointed *You can watch your food being cooked and assembled right before your eyes! *Online ordering - order from your desk and pick it up for lunch! *Nothing is ever frozen and everything is trans-fat free *Vegetarian options - veggie sandwich and grilled cheese sandwich are both yummy *Supply nutritional information online http://www.fiveguys.net/files/files/NutritionalInfo_2009.pdf *Lots of seating both inside and outside the restraunt Cons: *Beef is not organic or free range - why should a vegetarian care about this? I like to support companies with like-minded philosophies Tips: *French fries orders are huge - I'd recommend splitting the smaller order between 2 people and the larger order between 4 people *Unlimited fountain drink refills (includes everything from coke, spirit, fanta, powerade (mountain blast), minute maid lemonade, and nestea raspberry) *They don't accept american express Bottom line, Five Guys burgers is a simple operation and a great addition to Sunnyvale with only around 700 stores nationwide, we're lucky to have 'em! You'll be sure to find something yummy on the menu (as long as you don't have a peanut allergy ;) read more
