    Peanuts make the wait for freshly made food effortless.

    By the time Five Guys made it up to the Capital Region, it was already a large chain restaurant. But it was after the brand's arrival that this burger seller became much more of a national enterprise. The only reason I mention this is because I've noticed a decline in the deliciousness and quality of its beef. Granted, I'm more sensitive than most. But now I find small hard pieces of cartilage (I hope) in the patties. More importantly, the burgers just don't provide that long lingering beefy flavor on my tongue like they once did. Sigh. Fortunately, I've found the chain's vegetable sandwiches. One of my favorite things about the Five Guys burger has always been its rich delicious bun. And this bizarre concoction of grilled onions, sautéed mushrooms, LTO, sliced jalapeños, mayo and hot sauce is surprisingly good. It's even better since I discovered that they will grill the jalapeños for you too. It's strangely satisfying, especially when combined with the fries. The fries continue to shine. And not only that, they are a ridiculous bargain. A family of four can reasonably share a small order. Assuming you split it evenly, that still comes to 250 calories of french fries per person. I'll occasionally just come in for an afternoon snack and split a small order of fries with the two kids. TL;DR It's quick and delicious. Plus I've even found a way to make it a healthier choice.

    Jaguar and me and a lot of big guys mostly enjoyed burgers for lunch at Five Guys this afternoon. OK Steve N.}}} I DID order the cheeseburger (2 patties) - the one with the cheese between the patties, and you were right - very nice: tender but not squidgy, juicy, and greasy. It was a big burger for a little superhero and this time I didn't try to finish it. In a basically veg-free environment I topped mine with fresh tomato, onion, lettuce and mustard with pickles (NO MAYO NO KETCHUP) to get me a serving of more than just meat and bread. The burger didn't fall apart and I loved every bite. Jag was a copycat but went with the grilled onions instead. Slippery and good but she didn't feel "wowed" - a good burger. AH - the best part was the fries!!! Thick - not those wee skinny pointy little shoestrings that you eat 6 at a time so you get a mouthful - these were dark and crispy on the outside and perfectly squishy inside, hot and fresh and not too salty, with lots of little overcooked ones to savor between eating big ones. We ordered a regular and it was ALOT of fries, but we ate them all. Tres yum. I went through about 10 napkins. I don't generally go for paper products going into landfill (FG is all about disposables) and though it may be part of the experience, I would really have liked a paper plate instead of paper bags and napkins and burger foil to eat off of. It was a bit too picknicky for this gal. And guest what!??? They now have MILKSHAKES!!! . I guess they realized the competition was getting fierce out there - everybody else is "crafting" shakes. But when I asked what was in them buddy didn't know. OK next time on the shake. Zena, Goddess of Fire

    Rarely disappointed. Everything is always fresh. "Not A Freezer In The Place", according to one of their in-store signs. I always order online and pickup at their Guilderland location. The online ordering is very cool. Options aplenty. There are loads of toppings from which to choose, AND you can select 'light', 'normal', or 'heavy-on-the-' for each item on your burger. Once you arrive and tell them you've got a web order, they'll shout it down to the employees that are preparing food, and your order is usually ready within a couple of minutes. I much prefer their method of "get it started so that it's close to done when the customer arrives, but don't COMPLETELY finish preparing it until they get here" vs. other places that opt for the "prepare everything as soon as the online order comes in and then let it sit and get cold and gross" method. Their burgers are delicious, but the shining star of their menu (at least for me) is their fries, particularly their Cajun fries. Fresh potatoes arrive daily from the most exotic regions of Idaho.

    My husband's burger with bacon....as I stated at it longingly.

And tasty!!! Splurge on the fries with (beef) gravy and plentiful. We have also ordered wings as an appetizer - crispy, tasty with just enough sauce. Mild is VERY mild ( not complaining! ) Your feet will stick to the floor and the food will stick to your ribs. Local or Visitor - please patron and enjoy great food at reasonable price.

We had the cheese Quesadilla and Mexican fries. Both were excellent. I really want to try the build a burger but unfortunately today is our last day in town . I would highly recommend a visit because of the warmth and food. Don't let the outside scare you.

This place came up with great reviews, albeit only a couple so far, and we decided to check it out. We drove to the location, which had limited street parking, but we were able to find a spot using my parallel parking skills, then we headed inside. It was a small place, with 2 tables that each sat 4. The TV was on, and we chatted with the guy on the counter who shared a menu with us. In the end we settled for a traditional cheese and pepperoni pizza. No one was using the tables, and we decided to eat in rather than head back to our hotel. We chatted and waited for our pizza, which was done quick and was delicious! Everything you could want from a thin new york style pizza. Good amount of cheese, charred pepperoni, not overcooked or burnt, the crust was soft and delicious. The service was awesome. Every worker we spoke to was nice and personable, without being annoying, over the top or in the way. We were offered silverware and plates, and enjoyed our pizza, before needing a box despite it being so good. I would definitely consider heading back here the next time i'm in Albany, great food AND great service at a reasonable price, what more could you want?

    Great service, whenever I order from here I always see the same two workers. They're both awesome…read morepeople and never disappoint.

To explain, I ordered a double cheeseburger with cheese fries and it was delicious. To breakdown, the cheeseburger was excellent. The meat was juicy and tender with top tier flavor. Likewise, the sauce on the burger was sweet and tangy which elevated the flavor. Similarly, the potato bun was fresh and tasty, but the bottom of it was a bit soggy. It was simply a great burger. In similar fashion, the cheese fries were pretty good. To make clear, the fries were hot, crispy, and flavorful. Furthermore, the cheese was great and really made these fries special. In summary, 605 Smash is a great place to grab some burgers and fries.

I'm gluten-free, so I choose not to have the potato bun, which is a bummer because it looked amazing. My only gripe is the upcharge for a gluten-free bun. I completely understand paying a bit more for specialty products, but a $3 add-on felt a little steep. It actually kept me from ordering my own burger this time, so I just snagged a bite of my partner's (which was excellent). **I have had the gluten free option before and it was good, but udi's isn't my favorite (doesn't have very clean ingredients). Great tasting burger overall, but I just wish the gluten-free option felt a little more reasonable (or perhaps had a higher quality GF option for the higher price tag).
