bacon cheeseburger + A1 + jalapeno peppers = 4 stars for me fries were also good. would still go to in n out instead, no milkshakes. decor is much like in n out with the yellow. read more

Good burgers and fries and I like munching on the peanuts while I wait!

Got a burger and fries, started snacking on the fries and got too full to even eat my burger. Lots of food, good, greasy, super salty food.

Went here right after it opened and another time a month later to give it another try after some cajoling by a coworker who made us go the first time. After each visit, I felt ill afterwards. The cheese on the burger tasted like that cheap, waxy Kraft singles stuff. The burger was very undercooked and tasted like it had been frozen for a while prior to cooking. The toppings I asked for were grilled onions and mushrooms - the onions were soggy without flavor and the mushrooms were not cooked long enough. The only saving grace had to be the cajun fries. Final complaint is the price, this was upwards $12. I could get practically the same thing at In-n-Out for almost half price and their stuff tastes way better, especially if you ask for the fries well-done. read more

Overrated...but we are in the land of In 'N Out, so I'll give them a break. I had heard the hype from east coasters and when one finally came out to CA, I had to try it. The burger was good and there are definitely more options than In 'N Out, but, then again, one of the things I love about InO is the simplicity. I will admit, the fries are better than InO's and I love that you get a whole greasy bag full of 'em. All in all, a decent place, but InO is still my favorite. read more

i had mine to-go and it had to travel about 30 minutes to me...so i cant say this is a completely accurate review... i liked the fries. cut thick, but not too thick...well seasoned (salt only)...seemed like boardwalk fries...i wanted to dump malt vinegar all over them. the burger itself was nice and soft. maybe a little too soft. definitely juicy. did seem like it needed salt. pickles were good and thick...i will say that the burger was big...and that the prospect of all the free toppings you want is tempting enough to go back in and try one fresh off the grill... i cant say i liked it better than in n out. i definitely prefer fat burger or the habit... but im willing to give five guys another shot. read more

There isn't much different about this place from in and out except the peanuts. Also, we didn't know that the "typical burger" choice was the double double and that you had to order like a mini or whatever they call it to get a regular size cheeseburger. The cost was considerably more and the fries were not as good in my opinion. However, if your in the mood for in and out, there's one in Newbury park or in east Simi, so, this is probably your best pick for that taste without the drive read more

This place is so gooood!!! Hearty burgers, great taste and I always take home bags of penuts.. FOR FREE!!! Nothing bad to say about this place! I recommend it with the jalepinos! read more

I notice all of the Californian born and raised haters here who think that the Burger world is owned and ruled by In-N-Out. Well, theyre wrong. First of all, I was born and raised in SoCal, the Valley to be exact. So this review has some credibility. I moved out to the Washington DC area about 6 years ago and was introduced to 5 Guys then. At first, I thought the burger was decent, might not have been up to INO's standards. But as I frequented Cali on trips and visited INO over the years, I noticed that their burgers got worse and worse by the trip from a quality and flavor perspective. 5 Guys burger is a MUbetter tasting burger than an In-N-Out burger ANY DAY of the week! I will agree that it is pricey for what you get, but you do get what you pay for... read more

Love coming here for my burger fix me up! Trust me when I say I hated eating hamburgers, but once I had some of the cajun fries and a custom cheese burger I have converted back to liking hamburgers. I only come here for a cheese burger and I always order a side of Cajun fries and a cup of the wonderful sweet tea. Best hamburger joint I have been too. The missing star is due to the price. So I only come when I really really want a cheese burger and cajun fries because it is quite pricey. read more

A-Ok just in case you don't remember what three stars mean. In my opinion that means to me that I have no MAJOR complaints. Maybe a few gripes but... Its good and its not bad. But its not.. amazing. Food's Standard although I do like the Fries. I don't like the buns though since they are super dense and eggy. I feel like I'm eating more bread than meat. The service is debatable-- touch and go. Depends on who you get I suppose. The cool thing is that they take pride in letting you know where their food comes from. And the serving of fries is ridiculously huge. Can't complain since I lurve fries. And seriously Ya'll comparing them to In-n-Out? They both make burgers but they're not even the least bit similar. I'd more compare them to The Habit. Price wise, In-n-Out has them Pacquiao'd. Cant even come close. Worth a try though. Worth more than one visit too. read more

The burgers here are good and the fries are usually great. I don't know why everyone has to compare this place with In N Out. They are so different in several ways. I agree with most people that The Habit is better. I think the burgers here are more like a fancier version of a Wendy's burger. I will continue coming here occasionally, but I would never say that the burgers here would make my top 10 list. read more

This place provides large portions with little ambiance !!! The taste and prep of the burgers and fries are wonderful, but had better bring a bib as the consumption has to be sloppy with the overflowing portions and size of the burgers with all the added stuff !!! A wonderful experience for those in washable or ready to be washed attire !!! I love it at times, but it takes a special girl to also love this type of meal - my girl likes more civil places so I don't get here often !!! read more

the bun is whitebread..... this burger tastes just like the ones my dad used to make. The fries are the best part and no i wouldn't say it's worth the price. read more

Mission complete. What a fuck'n good burger! Double with cheese,bacon,tomato,onions,pickles,lettuce,mustard,mayo and ketchup combined with an order of fries. Simply put a real burger that is tasty filling and fresh. I will be returning! Thanks to James for the strong recommendation read more

New Burger rankings for Ventura County: 1. 5-guys burgers in TO 2. Hook Burger in Oxnard 3. In-n-out in Oxnard 4. Habit in Ventura 5 guys tops the list because man that burger was loaded! Weighing in at over a pound, it had every garnish I wanted and actually even layered across the burger. Original burger = double pattie, small burger = single pattie. The grilled onions and mushrooms were excellent. The bacon was cooked perfectly (not burned, not flimsy, crunchy all the way through). I like that there are about 20 different toppings for me to choose from. Cashier spoke perfect English (++), was courteous and explained the menu to me. The Cajun fries were awesome, just the right amount of spice and heat. I like the peanuts they had out for self service before my burger was ready (about 4 minutes during lunch rush.) Trust me, this burger was amazing. Taste, texture, and visual were all excellent. I would have given them 5 stars if they: had milkshakes and ranch and a drive through. They said milkshakes were coming this summer. Now prats like Tyler H. may question why in-n-out is third on the list. I have a few reasons. At the top of my list is bacon. In-n-out doesn't have it, never has and never will. Second is the wait time at in-n-out. Easily 20-25 minutes during a lunch rush, which is ridiculous. Hook has a bar as well delicious burgers for the same price as in-n-out. What sealed the deal for me was the size of the burger and a wider variety of toppings. In-n-out is good, for sure, but its boring after a couple of decades. So In-n-out sets the bar for a quality burger, 5-guys goes above and beyond the call of duty. read more

Just went here for the second time and yes, I liked it just as much as I did the first time. The burger was substantial and juicy; it actually had flavor as opposed to In N Out and The Habit which I find to be kind of tasteless. I like a fairly plain burger (maybe a little mustard and pickle), so the burger itself has to be tasty. I think at the other 2 places the toppings are more flavorful, so the burger itself doesn't have to be the star. At 5 Guys, the burger IS the star! The bun is delicious, soft and chewy; it works very well with the meat. The fries are plentiful and very good; got the cajun fries this time....they were ok, nothing too special but yummy. All in all, I am a 5 guys kind of girl! read more

As a self-professed burger aficionado, I just HAD to try this place out when I realized that they were finally expanding to the west coast. Although I live in the Valley, my hair dresser is in Oak Park, so I did not really have to go WAY out of my way to try this tasty treat. It was worth the extra drive! When you first walk in, the place will probably be pretty busy. The burgers are large and a "Jr" is really a regular burger and the perfect sized portion for the average person. The burger was juicy and savory and in my opinion, cooked to perfection. I am also very much in love with their cajun fries and the great seasoning that they put on them. The fry portion however is a little large, so if you go with a group of 2 or more, you may want to share. I don't get the peanuts thing and did not partake in that Five Guys tradition. I figured if I am going to spend more than McDonald's prices to eat their food, then I am surely not going to ruin my appetite with peanuts... Now I am patiently waiting for the new store in Northridge to open soon. Open..open..open.... read more

First time here but I must say the burger was pretty good.....

Man, I thought everyone else was just being picky whiners, but...this wasn't that great ( despite the fact that they have signs all over their interior stating how GREAT they are: almost as if trying hard to convince you: "you might be thinking right now that this burger isn't so great, but LOOK AT HOW MUCH GOOD PRESS WE GET!") Yelpers, I shoulda listened to you! In n out, I'll never cheat on you again! I agree with Yancy: $12 for a small burger, fries, and a coke? The burger was a teeny teeny bit better than in n out but MOST CERTAINLY not enough to merit the price difference! read more

Their is a great debate between Five guys and In-N-Out. For me Five guys takes the crown because of the variety and selection of toppings you are optioned with. Cheese burget with bacon, grilled onions and mushrooms, jalapenos, lettuce, and A1 steak sauce! They also have my favorite type of french fry(thicker cut) and they do not get greedy with them its literally a bagful of fries! read more

My current favorite burger joint. I really appreciate having the calories listed on the menu. Burgers are great and made to order. Fries are tasty and the soda machine with all the choices makes it fun too. Never had to wait too long for our order. Plenty of seating and parking. read more

I had to try this place because of the hype. I honestly have no idea what it is about. Intentionally overcooked, disgustingly greasy bland burgers, soggy and burnt regular fries or over-spiced cajun fries, and little selection. I've had fast food that blows this place away. If your only gauge of a burger's worth is how fat you feel after, then you'll probably like this place. If you have taste buds, then just about anywhere else will be a better option. They aren't even cheap! read more

This place is perfect if you want an expensive soggy burger. Skip it and go to The Habit or In N Out.

Great meat patty, and ingrediants, fries are good, but the bun ruins it for me. Not a fan, a good burger should have a decent bun, a great burger should have a great bun. Five Guys just good, but not great. read more

Five Guys has the best french fries, maybe ever. Just right, fresh cut skin on medium size bigger than In-and-Out and McDonald's fried in peanut oil and they give you a lot. Piping hot. Outstanding fries.The Burger? So-so. I wanted to like it, but sorry. Much larger than In-and-Out and though I ordered a single standard cheeseburger I was delivered a double cheeseburger. Personally I think a single burger would have been better because the thing I fault the burger on was the meat. I think because it had no sear on it it was rather blah. National kudos or not, Five Guys is not the best to me. Oh yeah. $9.12 for cheeseburger and fries. read more

A lot of hype around this place, but I wasn't too impressed. I got the double bacon burger, which was okay, but I think there was way too much stuff on it and I couldn't really taste the burger - probably my fault for ordering it that way. And the cajun fries were awful - soft and way too much seasoning. It was pricey too (about $12 with a drink), but it was a ton of food. Sorry Five Guys, but I won't be going back. read more

Excellent Burger, been here 3 time and Have not been disappointed. you want a cheap burger? go To Micky D's , you want great taste , come to 5 Guys . read more

Insanely Soft Buns and Tender Meat. I know sounds like a Porno ad.. but it's true. Tastes like an amazingly good backyard burger. The more I go the more I love this place. Good eats. read more

2 stars: Meh. I've experienced better Five Guys as a whole is acceptable fast food. This particular location isn't a tremendous Five Guys location. I've been to several Five Guys in several different states, and this particular location is below average; hence the 2 stars. It's kind of disorganized and poorly laid out, there's not enough tables, there's always some kind of hold up in line, and the prices are particularly exorbitant at this location. Yeah it's fun to shell peanuts all over the floor since you can't do it at home. Although I guess you could, but you might see the bottom of your mom's chankla if you tried it. But being a slob doesn't make up for the average food, the high prices, and the hassle of eating here. read more

They're fast and the food is always good. This must be the perfect time of day to come here because I'm the ONLY customer, which is odd because normally the place is packed. Kudos to Five Guys, whoever they are. read more

The burgers are ok at best. What really brought me down was the price. Very expensive. I don't mind paying for a great burger. This is not the case at 5 Guys. The fries are very salt ( as per my son). You get a better burger at In-N-Out as well as a better price read more

Awesome burgers and dogs. Bit 'spensive for fast food but it's far better than fast food in terms of quality.

This place is sort of a mixture of styles. The Menu is simple with fresh food (like In N Out), they have peanuts and you throw the shells on the floor (like a bar), and the place was loud (like a jet engine). The Food was acceptable, not great. It seems to be an east coast style of burgers and fries. I think most southern Californians are used to an In-N-Out style of burger and fries. The Meat was very juicy, but has fat visibly dripping from it. The fries were overly abundant, thick-cut and limp from the grease. The Grilled Cheese was downright bad--Poor tasting american cheese on a bun. Self serve boxes of peanuts on top of the trash cans(?!) but the peanut flavor didnt really blend with the rest of the food. read more

nom nom nom! Good burgers and good fries. I wish it was closer to where I live ( but I'm sure my waste line would detest). I could eat here everyday! read more

It reminds me of an old fashioned burger. Load it up and enjoy. Really good fries. Try it if you haven't already. It's a hit.

My kids and I love going there!!!! Kids love the free peanuts! LOL and we all love everything they custom make for us! The meat is always juicy and the burgers are huge! I can never finish one! You gotta try their Cajun seasoned fries! I always get some more to go too! read more

Not impressed at all. I was dissapointed because their burgers lacked flavor. I was waiting to be wow'd but that definetly did not happen. If you want a quality burger, this is not the place read more

I don't bother to read the reviews so here is my opinion of this location. The food is good but service can be stepped up a notch. Clean your tables make sure the place is clean and everything else will fall into place! I love the mushrooms inside the burger. The meat taste good not like other places I rather not name. Get the burger with everything :o) and the Fry's Cajun style are better than the regular fries. I would go here again just wish they would keep the peanut mess under control read more

Better than the one I ate at in san diego. But still not impressed with the place. Just the burgers are ok. The fries have been ;imp and nasty. The hot dogs are better than the burgers they serve i think. Not really seeing how they are better than in n out. But i say they are not better. Well ok better than mcdonalds wendy's and burger king yes. But just those places. read more
