With this location being at the centre of the universe it's always busy. I was lucky on my visit to squeak in between rushes to find only one person ahead of me in line, but 8 or so people waiting to place their order when I sat down with my food. I found the wait here to be a little longer than my previous Five Guys experiences but the food was hot and fresh as always and worth the wait. There was a fair number of tables to choose from, though many of them were a mess. I've always found there is never enough seating at these restaurants, at least in Canada. read more

Five Guys - Five Guys opening at the centre of the universe - Burgers Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

First and last. Basic Hamburger its 8.99 then Fries 4.99 ( lots) everything falling inside your paper bag making it a mess inside. Fries are over salty. After your drink and Taxes your meal comes to more than 17cnd. Worst part comes when i tasted the Hamburger. No salt no pepper, Lettuce over refrigerated. Meat, not a good quality, 2 patties very dried. my first bit was a true disappointment and shameful guilt if why waist my money that way. If Five guys see this review, step up your game becasue so far you have long way to go read more

The burger was ok. I was expecting a really WOW burger for the price tho. It was no better than any other franchised burger restaurant that I've been to. The atmosphere was good tho. Tables are kept clean but skids of taters occupy the floor just behind the dining area. Never seen that before. read more

I was in silver snail and every time I was at silver snail you can just smell the food. One day I caved in and just went. It was great!!! The Cajun fries are a die for a lil kick to them it was great. Its amazing how they give you more fries inside your bag just makes you a lil more happy. The burger is juicy and while you wait you can always enjoy free peanuts. This location has a great and friendly staff. My one big thing is you have to get everything separate and not combos. If you want a hamburger that will fill you up this is the place to go. read more

Five Guys - Burgers Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

We stumbled upon these guys by accident walking down Yonge street. Went in and was pleasantly surprised. Pretty good service, and okay price. Ordered 2 double bacon cheese burgers and large Cajun fry and medium drink for $32 and change. Fries would have been ordinary with out the seasoning but were decent. Both burgers were good and flavourful. Nothing over the top, but good. read more

If you're looking for a hefty burger or hotdog to satisfy your greasy cravings then this is definitely a place to dine in. It's a bit pricey, I got a bacon dog with "little fries" and it came up to 10$. Its very filling and sooo good so I'll be coming back here for sure. read more

Five Guys - Burgers Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This is the place to get a good hardy burger. Their little hamburger is not little at all !! However, the little burger is probably priced at the same price of a regular burger. The fries can also get a bit greasy at times. read more

3.5 stars. Almost like a fancy version of McDonald's which is not bad in terms of taste and quick service. However, I still can't justify the price to the quality of the burger. Will be back for a quick bite but won't cry a river if I was lost in a island... read more

I live in downtown Toronto for many years now & am always on the lookout for a great meal - HOWEVER - sometimes I walk into a restaurant that is somewhat lacking, as was the case with Five Guys. I had great hopes for this burger chain as I knew they were very popular in the states, though after eating there I was surprisingly disappointed.. AVOID THE FRIES FROM FIVE GUYS ! The fries that I got from Five Guys were simply awful. I think I haven't tasted fries as bad as theirs in a long time. They tasted as if they came out of a freezer (even though they did not) & were then not fried properly, still being very "undone" on the inside. The fries were also salted like crazy (almost as if to cover up the bad taste of the fry itself). Even my own home made fries taste 100 times better (& I consider them relatively bad^^). Iv'e heard similar stories from friends & coworkers about their Five-Guys-fries experience, so it seems that my order was not an isolated event of food gone wrong. Some other discoveries I"ve made about the place: - The very first time I stepped into Five Guys, I immediately turned around & walked out again even though I really wanted to try their food. The reason: the place smelled extremely & disturbingly "greesy". I couldn't believe how all the people inside could handle the unpleasant smell. However, the second time I walked in the smell was not as extreme (though it still lingered, bearably). - The regular hamburger / cheeseburger tasted good. The taste somewhat reminded me of the taste of a big mac from McDonald's (not sure if that is a good or bad thing), though I must confess that I haven't eaten at McDonald's in a very long time. - The regular hamburger was quite expensive. On top of that, it was a double pattied burger, which I found to be too much meat for my taste. One patty would have been completely fine / reasonable / better. (Note that I believe that the "small burger" contains only one patty - so if I would ever go again to Five Guys then the small burger would definitely be my choice of meal). But yeah - overall I was quite disappointed with Five Guys, especially when considering that they are a large & well established franchise. I can only advise others to not eat their fries, though if you still want to try them be my guest & please let me know if/how you liked them. I always try to remember that taste is a matter of opinion. But honestly - the Five Guys fries were plain bad. read more

Wish i could have saved my 10.00 and used it to buy ANYTHING Else. So i was really psyched and excited to go and eat my first 5 guys burgers. I had heard great things and i was in the mood for some good juicy BEEF. Yum. The catch is. I dont eat gluten...so the buns were out of the question for me. BUT! i was told that 5 guys had this thing called a lettcue bun. Basically they take large lettuce leaves and wrap it around your burger! I was soo excited. I get there, i place my order... i wait.... i recieve my order.. and they litterally plopped a dried up beef patty into a take out container with lettuce under it, the topping and ketchup on the side. I was so sad. The saddest ive been in a long time. The beef was dry and cold. The bacon topping sucked. It was the worst burger ever. When i came to work to tell my coworkers one of them told me that they had a similar experience where they had to FIGHT the store to do a lettuce bun properlly (apparently they do this in their other stores).... after complaining they got it done right. Guys... i get it you hate your job...your lazy...cant be bothered...dont think ill notice...whatever the reason is.... BUT what was served to me this sad day was horrible and I will never be back. Save the money and go else where. ALSO. my dining companion had a burger with a bun. She found the meat also flavurless and dry. And no i dont think your free peanuts are cool. like peanuts??? really. are we elephants now!??! Weird business model. read more

This place is located right near the eatons centre. A friend and I were hungry, decided to check it out... The place kind of looks like a retro diner, they claim to use fresh potatoes and 100% real meat. There are NO COMBOS and I had to buy the burger, drink and fries separate. Good for people that would want to skip the fries! The toppings on burgers are free and there is a wide selection, though most of the toppings I actually picked were incorrect when my burger actually came. The burger was not "juicy" as they claim but they do have an open window kitchen, so you can watch your burger being made. Most of the staff seem like high school or post secondary school students. My friend, a chef said it was odd some fries were brownish while others were golden, possibly mixing older fries with newer fries. Bottomless drinks (free refills) Overall, my burger, fries and drink cost around $15. In my opinion, it felt like a normal burger joint. Wasn't worth it but at the same time it wasn't terrible. 3/5. read more

Five guys is five guys, a bit overrated and overpriced in my opinion. It does have everything a burger should have, with unlimited amount of toppings. However, the flavors is just not that on point. Tried their burgers and bacon cheese burgers, and they were ok. One thing to mention is that they do have two meat patties in the normal size burger. Their burgers could honestly be better given the prices in my opinion. read more

Trust me the burgers are not pretty, tailored or cute. It's juicy, drippy and messy. You need 2 (sometimes 3) hands along with several napkins to eat these burgers but omg its the best dam fast food burger I've ever eaten! I don't eat burgers very often so when I do, I make it worth it. To be honest I've only ever tried the burgers, so I can't comment on any other menu items. Due to the layout of the store, you can see the kitchen staff cooking, I like that. It's kind of pricy so for the occasional treat I don't mind paying a bit more. read more

Five Guys - Five Guys Burgers - Burgers Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

We ordered three burgers and three large drinks and three large fries for three guys.. There was so much food we couldn't even come close to finishing. I love how they fill the fry tray (what do you call those things? The cardboard rectangular things that takeout fries come in.. kinda looks like a basket.. whatever, you know what I mean).. so yeah, they fill the 'tray' with fries and drop it into a paper bag.. then they take a whole other scoop of fries and dump them into the bag too! Amazing. Burgers are huge.. like really huge.. you don't need to order a double. read more

Heard of this place from friends and had to check it out. Food was so worth it, so good, very fresh and the prices were very reasonable. Would definitely go back read more

The price for a drink, a bacon cheese burger and 2 fries? sits around 20 dollars, so what does 20 dollars get you? A cramped loud restaurant with yelling, fast food service and a soggy burger with processed cheese. Never again, I get better service and food at McDonalds for half the price. read more

I bought the hype and decided to give this place a try after meeting up with a friend over lunch since it is a midway point between our two workplaces. The food there is not cheap and they align themselves in pricing with the many other "gourmet" burger joints that have sprung over over the past five years or so. I didn't really pay attention to the grilling method of the burger which I could easily have done with the open kitchen concept but the burger I got lacked flavour and juiciness. Needless to say, I was disappointed. The fries were pretty good but didn't really stand out from the pack. Service was friendly, lots of people were there but I don't think I'll be back. At least I finished it and was full afterwards. read more

I can't justify the pricing to ever want to make a return visit. I would rather smaller portions then having to pay so much for a burger and fries. You purchase your burger and fries separate, i remember it being about $15 total. There are no combos. The food is good, they give out way more fires then you need and you can get free peanuts if they actually put them out like they are supposed to. But... seriously, there are way better restaurants to eat at for that kind of money. And we have great Canadian/Toronto based burger joints like Burger's Priest anyways. Five Guys inspired me to go to my local butcher and make my own burgers at home. I also think the extra fries they gave me were old anyways since half them were crispy and the other half were kind of soggy. read more

Had a double cheese burger and it was pretty good. Not to sure about the whole you can't make a combo business but it's not a bad place. Still doesn't compare to the burger priest, stockyards and parts and labour but for being so close to Yonge Dundas good for them read more

Five Guys - Burgers Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Love their burgers! It tastes so good, even their fries are pretty good. Definitely would come back here whenever I'm in the area and want a burger! Only downside would be that this restaurant is always packed, so you'll have to wait to make your order, also finding a seat might be hard. read more

Five Guys - Burgers Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

SERVICE: Great! PRICE: A little much for what you're getting. A regular fountain drink, regular chunky fries, and a bacon cheeseburger came to $17.70 FRIES: A "Little" size is plenty for a grown man. Quality is o-kay, kinda county fair style, but I think their mandate is more about quantity for sure. FLIES: There were a few? Never a good thing in a restaurant. BURGER: The patty and bread were good, but for what I was paying I was kinda surprised that the cheese was just a sea of melted Kraft Singles. SO, OKAY: Honestly, not the worst thing ever, but I wish I'd just gone to Harvey's or cooked up a Kensington burger at home. Not sure why so many people rave about this place. Is there a secret menu something I need to know about to get the best experience? ALSO: No recycling! What the fuck? Paper bag, napkins, and the fry container could all have been recycled. Sheesh. read more

Five Guys gets Five stars. Oh who they never disappoint. Their fries are some of the best I've ever had. While I am a student on a budget, sometimes I cannot resist ordering a Little Fries from time to time. Fries portions may look really tiny, but don't order the next size up (especially if you want the smallest size). The fries are put into a cup, then put into a paper bag. - But wait, there's more: they scoop ANOTHER shovelful of fries into the bag. Yummmmmm As for the main feature, the burger, they also deliver every time. Granted, I don't go too crazy with my patty, but even so, Five Guys knows how to make damn good burgers. For the price it is, I think it is totally worth it. The wait is never too long. I think that the staff have a good communication system going among themselves and they are incredibly efficient. Bonus: They play great music in there! A lovely selection of upbeat rock n' roll classics plus some alternative stuff here and there. The music may not be for everyone, but to me it certainly sets the mood. read more

I think that this place truly does live up to expectations in terms of quality and quantity. For those who think this place is expensive, well it's not much more expensive than typical franchise burger joints like Harveys or Wendys, PLUS you get a wider range of toppings and complementary peanuts. Furthermore, the ingredients are pretty fresh, and they're 'little' burger is essentially a normal sized one, so I would say you definitely get what you pay for. In terms of line up and service, the line to order was long but moved by quickly, and the cashier was very friendly and full of smiles. The wait for the food however is slightly longer, but that's why they have a nice lady offering free peanuts to help you pass the time. My bf did tell me that the girl shouting out order numbers was fairly intimidating though. I got a little bacon cheeseburger, with everything on it. I was surprised that the toppings weren't spilling out of the burger, or sogging up the burger bun, which made me even more excited to eat it and it was very delicious and juicy! The burger also didn't make me thirsty, which I always find to be a good sign ingredient wise. I was disappointed w/ the bacon, since it didn't do much for the burger, so next time I'd probably just opt for a cheeseburger. For those who 'think' they can eat a lot, I just want to share that there was a tall and buff guy next to me who ordered the regular sized burger and said, "I can't do this anymore," and abandoned the remaining quarter of his burger. So, for men out there, do not feel ashamed ordering a little burger, especially if you're going to order fries which comes in a large portion. Speaking of fries, I had to try the cajun fries, but that was actually very disappointing. It wasn't bad, but it didn't taste like anything special, and in fact the seasoning reminded me of the flavour powder that comes w/ Shin ramyun (instant noodle). Probably won't order this again, would rather leave room and take on the regular sized burger Overall, I think this place is a pleasant experience, and I would recommend just getting the burger, and skipping out on the fries. More like a 3.5, but thought I`d be generous since ppl seem to be harsh on this place. read more

I find this location hit and miss. I've had an excellent burger here once and a really so so burger here once. On the day it was good, it was a solid 4 stars. Very tasty. On the day it was not so good, everything about it was soggy and underdone and kind of bland. Grilled mushrooms and grilled onions were so pale and underdone, they made the burger soggy greasy and gross. And oddly, it was not very hot. I don't know how that happened, but that time I had taken it out, so could not ask for it to be redone. That burger was a 2-star experience. The eat in burger was pretty good though. read more

I had very high hopes and it passed the test. Lil' Cheeseburger is more than enough food for most people, it's really not lil' at all. Beef is very fresh and tasty. The bun is soft and stands out compared to most. I'm also a sucker for American cheese on a burg. Melty goodness. Both types of fries were a bit disappointing but I would definitely choose regular over cajun in future. A welcome US chain doing burgers properly. read more

Came in to finally try the burgers here. Ordered a "Little Bacon Burger" with mayo, mustard, lettuce & tomatoes. Nothing fancy, just wanted to taste the burger mainly. It was pretty awesome. Tasty. Fresh. Made to order. If you're expecting your brain to melt, you're gonna walk away disappointed. But I got a tasty burger, which is what I wanted. Will be back, to try out the fries. read more

First time here, and I have to admit I won't be back. The burger overall was ok I guess, definitely not worth the price. Burger patties were simple, unseasoned, and fried. The toppings were fresh but un-inspired, something I'd expect at a 50's drive thru in the US I imagine. The fries were ok, fresh cut and fried well. The cajun seasoning was barely noticeable. Over all a mediocre burger and fries for too much money. The actual restaurant was clean and the staff were friendly and efficient. D read more

I've tried Five Guys once before but it was my first time eating out at this location. Ordered the bacon cheeseburger with medium fries and a bottle of water. The burger was a good size and really tasty. The fries were solid though I felt the portion size was way too big for me. The price is also quite steep ($38 for 2 burgers, 2 fries and 2 bottles of water). If it weren't for my burger craving I don't think I would have came but it was still an OK place to get your junk food fix. read more

Wowza. The only reason I did not give this place five stars is because the prices are ludicrous ($9.03 CAD for a cheeseburger? 4 realz?) and they kinda screwed up my order (in a good way though)... but I did not have room for fries in my tummy & I f*cking hate Maalox so I politely declined the line cooks' offer to "just take it, it's on us. When you serve 100 people in 5 minutes you tend to lose track of things every once in awhile." Sadly, I like my fries extruded or batter-coated with spices like KFC's or Burger King's & fried twice for crispiness if need be. My sister and her friend beat me to losing their Five Guys virginity & told me their fries have a tendency to get soggy. No wonder. They serve it in soft drink cup-style vessels with no vent holes, inadvertently steaming the fries sitting anywhere near the middle or bottom of the container. Another thing I couldn't understand: Five Guys fries is fried in peanut oil (they had more than half a dozen 20-litre? buckets stacked up in close proximity to their humongous fryolators) & there are peanut shells littered all over the floor in some franchises (encouraged by the company or the handiwork of asshole diners? Can't say. I have the research skills of a fruit fly) so, uh... ANAPHYLAXIS ALERT! Don't touch anyone who's been to Five Guys if you left your EpiPen at home. The grilled bun became flat and soggy but it couldn't be helped 'cuz the burger was huge and the toppings weren't stacked any lower. It was very generously-sized. I busted a tiny scab on my left cheek for virtually unhinging my mandible to take a decent bite. Almost worth the $9.03. Almost. I just can't justify spending $9.03 (even for a combo) but for a single cheeseburger? 'GASP.' Miraculously nobody had to do the Heimlich manoeuvre on me. Odds of getting a coronary from the food are a lot slimmer than from panicking at the shameless gouging taking place at this establishment! That cheeseburger was a f*cking festival in my gullet though. It made me so goddamn happy. Easily the best burger I've tried in Toronto thus far. I wish there was a Canadian burger joint this good. That thing they do with sandwiching the cheese slice(s) between two thin fresh-off-the-grill patties to form a beautifully thick, perfectly melted cheese-centered patty/grilled cheese with cow instead of bread? GENIUS! I could kiss all FIVE GUYS for coming up with that. read more

Great place. I went there before noon and didn't have to stand in line. The place looks very clean and the burger is excellent. Could be a bit cheaper, though. The lady on the cashier was attentive and the guys serving the burgers were in good mood and spirits. Definitely going back there soon. read more

The outer appearance of the store is very attracting. Unlike most five guys, this one really stands out from the rest of the shops on Yonge street. This five guys the outer appearance includes bright lights and a big sign. haha The food itself is really nothing special but it tastes like a nice classic burger. Unlike Mcdonald's burgers which has ingredients where you do not know what is in it. Overall, 4 stars read more

The best burger I've every had and fries to boot. Since I've had Five Guys burgers my bar has been raised and there aren't many gourmet burger joints that meet the taste and burger experience like Five Guys does. The fries are fantastic. The restaurant ambiance is perfect as well. read more

I came in here and ordered a burger, milkshake, and fries. Didn't think that sounded too unreasonable but it was outrageous. The burger was two patties, the milkshake was more a solid than liquid, and the portion was massive. I finished the food, but was near comatose for the next 6 hours. You've been warned. It did cost about $20 bucks, too. So there's that. read more

The quality of the ingredients is great and the burgers themselves are a great treat and that's what it is: a treat! The only problem I have is that the portions can be a bit too much for me and I end up not being able to even finish a cheese burger with little fries and just throwing them in the waste bin. I suggest going with a few friends and share the fries around, but other than the overly huge portions the food is worth the cost. read more

Can't believe I haven't rated this location! I love smash patty burgers and I love Five Guys. Customer service is almost always friendly here, even a few minutes before closing. The workers here work very hard to make delicious burgers and have a smile on their face. I don't like the fries but I'd definitely recommend the cheeseburger and for regular appetites the little cheeseburger (it's not really little, just one patty instead of two) with grilled onions, grilled mushrooms, lite ketchup and jalapenos. Perfect! If I didn't care about my health and weight, I'd eat here everyday. Side note: as with other Five Guys, they post where their potatoes come from. I think it's cute :) read more

Five Guys is my favourite burger!!! Free peanuts and always extra fries in the already huge portion. Yes, the burger will cost a bit more than other places but IMO you get what you pay for - quality. read more

I had my first taste of the latest Five Guys to creep into Toronto. First off, they could not have picked a better location. They are downtown, by a university and right by the epicentre of the downtown core. Duh, duh, duh- everyone in these area loves greasy burgers at all hours of the day. And today, I was one of those people. Wow, getting "everything" on your burger included mushroom and sauteed onions. I was excited. But note to self: the burgers don't travel too well. The bun was soggy after a five minute walk. Still the taste reminded me of In-And-Out Burger in Los Angeles, apart from the obvious texture issues. On the other hand, the shovel of fries was an amazing. They don't stop filling at the top of the fry sleeve... they stop when the paper bag is full. It could have been embarrassing for some to walk home with such a grease-stained baggy, but I took it as a badge of honour. read more

Every time I go to Five Guys, I wonder what their hot dog and grilled cheese sandwich taste like. But the cheeseburger always ends up winning the fight in my head, and I always end up ordering that...until now. This time I ordered both the grilled cheese sandwich and the hot dog. I may have a problem with self control...but that's a different topic. Both these items can be topped with all the same toppings as the burgers. The grilled cheese is made with two inside-out burger buns with the sliced cheese in the middle. The hot dog is a large-sized wiener, made out of the usual miscellaneous meat mixture, bigger than the normal grocery store dogs but I don't think quite yet a foot long, and they cut it in half on the grill. They both taste as you would expect: yummy but nothing groundbreaking. Although I do think the inside-out burger buns on the grilled cheese is an ingenious idea. So if you've been wondering what the grilled cheese or hot dog are like, there's your answer. I have a feeling not too many other people wonder that, because they screwed up my order while they were cooking it and it took extra long for me to get mine. They were nice about it though and compensated by giving me a free drink, without me even asking. I love Five Guys. read more

No frills classic Hamburger joint for over inflated prices. Definitely nothing wrong with the burgers or fries from Five Guys. Burgers have an old school feel but you can get better burgers and fries in the city for a fraction of the price. I'd rather go to burger's priest or big smoke myself. Love that they have free shelled peanuts to eat while you wait. And the food is good, but over 14 dollars for a fast food burger and fries, and no drink isn't great value... Also the cheese on the burgers weren't fully melted. They have all the classic burger toppings you need but nothing interesting. Also they gave us tons of fries, probably too many. There was like a second helping of fries in the bag. BAG FRIES! Also the Cajun style fries arent all that spectacular... Definitely worth a try if you've never been before, but not on my list of places I'd have to return. read more
