2.5 Stars rounded up due to the yummy fries. My co-workers have been eating 5 guys since this location opened and fantastic aromas filled the office every time. Today was finally my day. I must admit, I was a little disappointed.... maybe my expectations were too high. The burgers are oversized with a regular containing two patties. I prefer a single burger - a double burger just has too much meat in my opinion. You get to pick toppings but nothing really out of the ordinary. Jalapenos were probably the most exotic topping. I find the burgers taste very similar to Wendy's. Final conclusion, a simple average burger. The fries are good though. Clearly home made as you have to pass a stack of potato bags on the way to the ordering counter. They come in different sizes but the regular is a good portion size. You can get spicy or regular. I had regular but tried my friends order of spicy fries - both were very good. The fries are a little greasy and staining my brown take-out bag with grease. Including a diet coke (I had to cut some calories) my order was about $12 which is above average but as previously noted, portions are huge. Service was fast and efficient and there's a lot of seating available. Bonus - complimentary peanuts. I'm in no rush to return. My search continues for a "specialized" burger joint that compares with my fav. Harvey's burger (and at half the price). BK read more

I popped my 5G cherry on a recent business trip to Washington so going in to the very busy down town location I knew what to expect. I also figured most chains that cross the borders are inconsistent so I lowered my expectations just in case. My other half hadn't heard of 5 Guys until I sent him the hilarious video of a gentleman doing a review of 5 G from his car. With his review being nothing more than "OH MY DAMN" in the back of our minds we took a chance on grabbing some grub before heading to a movie down the street. As I previously mentioned I was anticipating a terrible experience and the boyf was losing his MIND with anticipation. We walk in and get hit by the blinding lights and almost too sterile retro decoration. The place was busy but we didn't wait at all to place our order. The girl at the counter was kind enough to explain how it worked to the boyf and then we ordered. He got a double burger (large?) with bacon and cheese. I got a small (single?) with a plethora of toppings. Including my absolute favourite grilled mushrooms!! We grabbed a table and filled our cups and waited for our number to be called. I think we waited about 10 minutes for our order which then came in the classic brown bag stained with grease from the piles of fries they put in the bag. You're probably wondering how my meal was given my lowered expectations.... Dare I say that it was better than when I got 5G in the States!! It was perfectly topped and completely delicious. We didn't grab any of the free peanuts they have by the condiments because we were saving room for our feast, but that's an option if you're starving and want a bit of a snack. 2 burgers, a large fries and 2 fountain pops came to $30. It's a bit steep for 2 meals, of just burgers and fries if you ask me. Nevertheless it was pretty great. A nice occasional treat given the gluttony in which we partook. One more negative is that the bathrooms are in the basement.10 Dundas is a newer building so basement bathrooms are almost sacrilegious. Who am I kidding though, I'm hooked and as I write this am craving a burger from 5 Guys. read more

More of a 2.5 but A-Ok does sum it up. I'm embarrassed to admit I have already been to 5G 2X in 2 weeks! I got so excited when I realized this U.S. joint finally crossed the border. To be very clear, this is NOT the Five Guy we know down in the States. It's definitely close to the same concept but no cigar. My burger(s) were good but not great. These guys don't leave the cheese on long enough (it doesn't melt or warm up), some of the ingredients are cold (read tomatoes), the buns weren't toasted the second time I went, and there aren't different cheese choices (can't recall if 5Gs in NY, DC or FL did either). It's a bit pricey for a 5G burger (come on! don't blame the exchange rate)... but it beats the Burger Bar further up on college (ewww) and the fast(er) food chains (Mickey who?). I RECOMMEND: Given there's a GBK not too far on Church & East, and a half-way decent Big Smoke Burger in Eaton centre, don't waste your time on one of these bad boys. It's a not-so-cheap thrill that will make you wish you'd stopped one door shy at Chipotle's instead. EXTRA TIP: If you didn't catch the GBK** reference, see my other review (Great Burger Kitchen) 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

Although busy, service was quick and orderly, and the people worker were efficient. I got a little bacon cheeseburger. The toppings were fresh and crisp, which I didn't realize played such a big role, but it played out really nicely. Compared to most places, I got a nice amount of bacon on top of the fresh patty that they grill after you order. My friend got fries, which were either soggy or too crisp all throughout the tiny cup he got, and these seemed overpriced, although the quality was evident. Maybe we just got a bad batch? The place itself is a nice dining experience, I like it in there. Yeah. Overall, a great place, just off a few points for the fries and their price of said fries, but otherwise good stuff :P read more

Very greay option for a good, quick bite. The menu is simple but everything tastes good and made fresh to order. Pricing is on the higher end of a burger joint but it's still worth it. You wont get swayed away by the basic decor but you won't be there long enough to bother. On my last visit the men washrooms could have bee cleaner, the paper towel dispenser was broken. read more

The interiors are good and the staff are fun to watch... its almost mesmerizing. The food itself is really oily and only good when eaten fresh - saved some fries and it was totally not the same (you know how macdonalds fries are sort of still addicting when cold? these arent). Found it to be quite expensive for such a slim patty. Would totally give it another star if they brought milkshakes to the menu!! I crave them as soon as I walk in. 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

4.5* Food is Amazing as with any 5 Guys, burgers made fresh to order, a bit expensive (basic burger is about $7) but worth it cause all the toppings are FREE!!! Fries are sold separately and are about $4, the atmosphere is good music is a bit loud. Playing mostly classic rock 5 guys channels the burger joints of the 70s and it works!!! read more

Although the place was very busy on NYE, the service was good and the staff were efficient. My bf thoroughly enjoyed eating here, and said that he hadn't had a "real burger" in awhile. I had the cheeseburger (except I didn't really taste the ketchup so I added in extra) with tomatoes, mayo, and lettuce, while he had the bacon cheeseburger with everything except for mustard. The burgers here are HUGE, they have two beef patties on the burgers, and my boyfriend's burger was even larger with the extra bacon and toppings. Drinks were refillable and we had a large fries with extra fries over spilling into the bag, which we didn't mind as he wanted to fill up his fries craving. I just wish they had onion rings. I think we spent $25~ for our meal. TLDR; come here for good burgers and fries at a reasonable price. I'll definitely be back, the first time I tried 5 Guys Burgers & Fries was at a different location and I was craving some ever since that experience read more

Not as good as I thought for that price but I got to admit, the fries were pretty good :) and the staffs were super nice with smiles on their faces :) read more

Five Guys - Even brought the free fries back to work :) - Burgers Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This place is quite big space for a burger place and its definitely convenient for students to enjoy better quality burgers than your 'Mc'D'. Although, I do have to agree with fellow yelpers that this place is quite pricey as well for two burgers (cheese, and cheese w/bacon, with one regular fries and drink) priced at just under $30! I may as well go to a restaurant to enjoy with tip payment to pay this scale for burger + fries. The thing I like about the burgers were the topping varieties...Definitely better than 'Harvey's' and lots of burger places. The burger meat reminded me of 'Wendy's'! They add two pressed patties into your sauce and topping choice. This place gets a 3.5/5 overall. read more

Awwwww man!!! The burgers and fries on their menu is to die for. The customer service from the server was excellent!! She helped recommend what was good for a quick lunch. Definitely recommend this place for Ryerson students that need a quick bite to eat between their classes read more

This place came very highly recommended, but ultimately I found it was merely "very good." It's pretty distant from the Burger's Priest burger, and I'm not sure how anyone could prefer Five Guys based purely on the burger itself. This isn't to say it's a bad burger: it's not. Well cooked on a griddle, fresh toppings and generally good flavour, but I found it under seasoned. The fries are tasty, and the extra heapload they add into the bag is a stroke of genius, for we all know that bag fries are best fries. Don't get a large fries; you won't need it. Service is very friendly, and the space, while basic, offers lots of space to sit and eat. A solid choice when you're nearby, but it's not exactly a destination. read more

What's with the name? I like the setting, I like the location, burgers are great. I'm not so crazy over these fries that have been praised so highly though, not sure what it is but they don't do it for me, they are just potatoes to me. Burger on the other hand, very tasty, if not steep price. I'd rate it well under Burger's Priest and Holy Chuck, but around yonge and dundas by far and away the best burger joint to hit up. read more

I've been to better burger stores compared to Five Guys. Love the freshness of its contents but the taste is meh. Love how they give out peanuts for free though. read more

Best burgers downtown! Great food, fair price, always friendly staff! No complaints, Ps small fries are huge! read more

I love five guys and their burgers. I recommend you just to order their burger since it is big and filling enough. The fries are okay. The burgers are the highlight here. read more

Good hamburgers, at night could be crowded without tables available, the washroom is downstairs and is only one for all clients .

I come here often as I make frequent trips to the Cineplex next door - I came in yesterday and realized that the cashier upfront forgot to note down that I wanted my burger in a lettuce wrap. I noticed this and told the guys prepping the burgers, they were quick to make the changes no fuss which was good. It takes a while so there is a bit of a wait and I don't think its the best burger option in town either but it isn't too bad either. read more

Hands down, Five Guys makes the best burger, no need for long commentaries and bullshit complaints cause you're as rude as most of the people that work in these places. Best hamburger for taste and bang for the buck. Always include their fries which are tasty and huge like my gut after I eat here. read more

For a place that gets 5 star reviews, this place is surprisingly disappointing. The beef is griddle cooked and juicy as hell...but the burger turns into a soggy mess quickly thanks to an inadequate bun. Fries are cooked in peanut oil and are decent, but prices for everything are out to lunch (no pun intended). See my full review @ duggsburgerblog.blog.com read more

The best burger I ever had in my whole life They also have a good fries by the way I liked that you can refill soft drinks read more

Soooooo full, can't move, so many fries! So much burger! Ohhh theres peanuts! Don't mind if I do! Good place to get filled up on burger and fries, what else can I say? read more

Gave this place a first try today and I was overall impressed. It had the decor of a deli kitchen with the red and white tiles all around. Meanwhile you can see the cooks at work on your burger order. The place was clean and peaceful. The dining area entailed the presence of wooden tables and chairs that looked like it belonged to a kindergarten classroom from the 1980s. With respect to the food, It was a fairly sized burger (regular size) that was tasty. A regular size fries was quite a large portion as well as the regular size drink which cost a bit over $15 altogether after taxes which is only a few bucks more than most McDonald's combos. but at this place (Five Guys) you get a quality made burger and fries along with friendly service. read more

This location is the worst, the fries where cold, the burger was okay. I am a regular at the five guys at st.Clair and Weston Rd, which is good, same with the one on the Queensway. I have eaten at this location before and it was okay. My feeling is that they are very busy, and so the quality isn't the same as the smaller locations. Honestly management should be trying to help the employees so that they are all the same. In terms of the fries, they should be cooking a little bit at a time so that they are hot when people get them. The burger wasn't bad, but it's not as good as the other locations in the city. read more

They use processed cheese and for the price , sorry it just does not add up. Processed Cheese is a sin...that crap should be banned

This location is the first and only Five Guys I've ever been to. Like most, I heard of about it from various Americans I associate with. Reviews ranged from 'It's not bad' to 'OH MY SWEET BABY JESUS! FIVE GUYS IS THE BEST'. Like come on, I sure most of us have seen/heard of the 'DAYM DAYM DAYM' Five Guys review (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGkHRa64sDY). Hell, even Obama endorses it. I dare you to watch that video and not crave a burger. So, to drown my perpetual sorrow that In N' Out isn't in Canada - I was excited to have Five Guys in my mouth... PAUSE! First of all, everything here is Ameri-sized. The regular burger is double patty and the 'little burger' is a single patty. And an order of fries is HUGE and probably enough for 3-4 people. According to my friends, they do this at all locations - I guess it's just their corporate policy. I ordered a regular bacon cheeseburger (this is how I keep my slim figure). You have your choice of 'free' toppings so you can customize to your taste - they have jalapenos and mushrooms. The burger itself is good - nothing really special, but definitely solid. The cheese was loaded up and had ooze and melded with the foil wrapping. And there was a lot of crispy bacon loaded up on it. At about $10, it wasn't exactly cheap - but was definitely enough cow, pig and cheese on the burger to justify the cost. The surprise here was the veggie sandwich - it's a patty-less sandwich stuffed with cheese, mushrooms, and lots of other veggies. So, it's not really a healthy option per se, but at $4 - it's pretty cheap. The fries here are pretty damned good. They are crispy and fried to order. You can have them regular or seasoned 'Cajun' style. I would highly recommend getting *one* order of fries - they basically place your burger in a brown bag... then proceed to fill the rest of your bag up with fries. If you're walking out of here with a take-out bag with fries, you will have a brown bag translucent in grease. So - I really don't understand the hype - but it's a solid burger joint and the service is good. Unlike the cheap, neat and squared away style of In N' Out, Five Guys is all about excess. Huge greasy burgers, huge greasy fries and in the upper limits of what I would pay for a chain burger. Eat Five Guys if you're not planning to do much for the rest of the day. I ended up falling asleep on the couch afterwards. read more

Over-priced ($15 for a burger, fries & a coke? WTF!!!!!) - definitely over-hyped - and I felt sooooo gross afterwards. I love burgers, and anyone giving this a high rating doesn't know what a good burger is. read more

If I could I would review this place in huge font with just a single word, overrated. The burgers are burgers but when i found out prices are 40% higher in Canada I was very angry. These burgers are not worth marking up. read more

I've been to the boutique burger joints: Burger's Priest, Holy Chuck, P&L, but Five Guys is my go to burger joint. The combination of the double juicy beef patties, fresh cut fries and the big box of peanuts you can munch on/hoard when you're waiting for you burger to be made, put this place above the others. The other places may have higher quality beef patties, but overall, they can't match the satisfaction I get when I've downed my order at Five Guys, oh did I mention the fries where the other guys are mediocre at best. Overall, very consistent quality burger joint with a very unique feel to the decor, which with the music being played, remind me of the good old days when things were simple and stress free. read more

So I spent like, $20 on a meal here and it was just OK. $20 is sit-in fine dining! $20 is Mandarin all-u-can-eat buffet on a Friday night! THIS is not a $20 meal. U think ur burgers/services are wicked cuz u serve free peanuts?? Keep ur chinatown peanuts and I'll keep my cash. I'd gladly eat a Hero Burger/Big Smoke Burger/The Works etc instead. Then at least I wouldn't feel like I was dying after; physically AND financially. Not a fan. read more

HARVEYs TASTE BETTER burgers came with tons of TASTELESS meat TWO PATTIES, it gets two stars bc its fresh ground beef one order of fries GOOD for two people its a casual place, just like LICKS **DON'T sit near the auto entrance during winter** its yonge street so it opens alot, unless your weird I just wanted to try it, but I wouldn't go back there again..... for the price i expected some flavor....i just got a scoop of beef on a bun read more

Prices are steep and there are better burgers to be had out there. I've been to Five Guys joints a couple times and come away thinking the same thing everytime - I want In-N-Out. read more

oh man, the bacon burger was one of the most delicious things ever. but an order of two burgers with a side of fries and a drink totalled around $25. which I thought was prettyyyyyy pricey for fast food burgers. I guess you could really make it worthwhile if you love peanuts...as they give you access to unlimited peanuts. I'd come back to have that delicious fat burger again but only if I'm ready to splurge ! read more

I do NOT get the low reviews. I've been to THIS location 10+ times. It is my go-to burger joint in downtown Toronto. My extended family all love it as well. My business associates who I take here all love it. We're talking about 20 people who all have nothing but good to say about this chain. Burger patties are delish. As is the cheese, the buns, the condiments, the salted fries. I have gravitated to the regular (i.e. double patty) cheeseburger. Service consistently above average. Need to keep the lobby a bit cleaner. I eagerly anticipate my next outing. read more

This past weekend I made a large order for my team and the manager whom I dealt with was fantastically helpful. Made the initial order on Wednesday and they had called Saturday to make sure everything was in order and upon request had it all ready about half an hour than we originally requested. All the bags were labeled and organized making my life a million times easier. The burgers were wonderful as usual. 100% would recommend making group orders here. read more

A great location with alright burgers nothing significant, the burger is cooked mostly unevenly , some parts are either colder, harder, chewier . Buns fall apart after a few bites. The topping list is large enough and Cajun style fries are a good addition. They play nice rock music , staff are both friendly and all over the place too, the cleanliness is decent. Overall , a good enough decent place for students to grab a burger. read more

The burger is good but not astoundingly good (unlike Carl's Jr). But then burgers here are fried and at Carl's Jr grilled so maybe they're not worth the comparison. Anyhow I appreciate the plain beef patty not being flavorful, for the lack of sodium. Apart from that, I think the burgers compete alright. What's astoundingly good here is their fries (both flavors). They taste like real and freshly chopped potatoes. read more

Went here during prime lunch time. It's a decent burger but not worth the price paid for. (30$ for large fries, one regular burger one large and one drink) Probably because they were rushing to make so many orders... Cajun fries were good though! read more
