A regular has 2 patties and a small has just one. I had a small and it tasted like a burger you can easily cook at home. The bread was thin and flattened (NOT TOASTED!) and made the burger taste mediocre. Cajun fries were better than the regular fries, but the large in a medium size soda cup was a bit expensive ($4.79 or so). Service was good but not very quick. If you don't toast the bun, I expected it to be quicker but they were busy during dinner. Plenty of parking and free peanuts. read more

Don't come in here with high expectations and i think the experience will be better. All the debate about which has a better burger- in n out vs five guys... well i say you can't really compare. good burgers are good burgers and both places have good burgers. does that make sense? anyways, the cool thing about this place is that you can get free toppings on your burger (such as grilled mushrooms, onions, etc). also, i suggest getting a little cheeseburger. it's not really little. its the same size as the regular burger except the regular has 2 pattys and the little one has just one which i think is all you need. oh yea, one more thing- free peanuts. read more

Been here twice and both times there was something lacking. Flavor. I thought maybe it was just my taste buds since I came here feeling ill with the flu the first time. But naaahh...the burgers really didn't have any flavor. I got the All The Way one time and Everything the other which really didn't make any difference because all I tasted was the condiments. Even the free peanuts were weak and I love peanuts! Fail! The burgers are massive, not the patty, but the burger itself. I can only bite half of the burger; opening my mouth wider would most probably lock my jaw or dislocate it. When I tried to squeeze the burger down to size, the bun got all mushy; the ketchup, mustard, BBQ sauce, mushrooms, lettuce, onions, tomatoes, pickles and whatever else that was packed in there all oozed out. Fail! Hmmm. But the fries were good! And the workers were all friendly and the service quick. read more

I like how you can customize your condiments on your burger. You can have some, all, or none of it. I like their peanuts while you wait for your order. I love how humongous their French fry serving is. Their burger is meh-ok. Lettuce is soggy, not crispy. It had some flavor. And yes, In and Out burger trumps over Five Guys in taste and freshness. read more

i honestly prefer In-N-Out. This place isn't bad, it's just that i prefer In-N-Out. the best thing about this place is that it is VERY filling (: they have "little hamburgers" which only have one patty, and their regulars which have two patties. you basically pick which one you want, and they let you pick what veggies go into it. they also have hot dogs with the same options. as for fries, they have two kinds; "cajun style" or "five guys style." cajun is with cajun seasoning hence the name, and the five guys one is just with salt. i would recommend the cajun fries (: they are flavorful, and they give you more than you order. i ordered a large, and they filled it all the way to the top! there were still a lot more fries left in the bag, so much more that you could actually make a regular order of fries with that amount! so yay for big portions, and filling food! i'll be back if i'm in the area and craving these awesome fries and dogs! (: the burgers are pretty mediocre to me "/ read more

How do I know that Five Guys is good? When my Asian mother, who will eat nothing but Chinese food, actually tells me, "I want to eat Five Guys burgers." And I completely agree with her. The burger comes out juicy and just right. The toppings are fresh (and free!) and make the burger even better. I ordered a cheeseburger with everything plus BBQ and hot sauce -- YUM!! I devoured that burger in five minutes and still wanted more. The only slight complaint I have is that the bun kind of fell apart in the middle of my devouring, but that may have been because I asked for two sauces in addition to the everything sauces. The cajun fries are just as delicious. I love how your order of fries isn't just the cup -- it's pretty much an entire paper bag. Crispy and hot with a slight kick, mmmm. I could munch on those fries forever. And did I mention free peanuts? Yes. Free peanuts for the elephant inside us all. read more

The large option for fries is definitely more than enough for three people. We couldn't finish it! I love how crisp the outer layer is and after one bite a centimeter into the fry is pure soft potato mmm. Salted just right too! This was my first time trying 5 guys and ordering was pretty straight forward. I found out there's all you can eat peanuts. The difference between little hamburger and hamburger is one or two patties, respectively. I like the fact that their "everything" option includes grilled mushrooms! My fave on a burger. If only there was Swiss ... maybe I'll try a hot dog next time. Ended up getting the large soda cuz its only twenty cents more. I kind of thought the Dasani was a rip off at $2 a bottle, but hey, it's in a tub of ice waiting to be chugged. There's a veggie sandwich with all of the veggies plus green bell peppers but no mayo. *add ketchup or something Customer service is awesome and the sandwiches are identifiable by the numbered sticker on the wrapper. The receipt on the bag (everything's bagged as if to go) has each sandwich numbered from 1 to whatever and has details on what it is. Cost effective, I can tell you that. The inside kinda reminds me of Costco: high ceiling and visible air vents. There's lots of room to breathe or enjoy the sunshine outside while eating. I think it's cute that kids can draw or write on 3x5 notecards (with provided crayons) about what they like at 5 guys. Parents can pin it up on the board when finished. Now that I've tried 5 guys, it's safe to say I'll be back. read more

My experience at Five Guys was just OK. The staff was friendly, and I got my food in under ten minutes, but the burgers don't live up to all the hype. It's nice you can customize it, but all the toppings cause it to fall apart while your eating. They give you way too many fries and they're too thick, salty and greasy for my liking. At least the paper bag the food comes in absorbs some of the grease. There are better burger places around for a lot less $. read more

My friend and I came here yesterday after watching a movie (: I was actually really interested in coming here until I started reading about how a meal here was about $10.. Which is sort of true. I saw their stand at the Arts and Wine Festival, where they gave out freebies and one of their cups with a menu inside. So anyway, I ordered a bacon cheeseburger with regular cajun style fries. The wait wasn't too long, though it seems longer than In-N-Out's lines. We sat at a table and he ate some peanuts. After I got my bag, I noticed that they gave me a LOT of fries... Thank goodness I didn't order the large like I had wanted to! They put your food in a brown paper bag, so you get to choose whether you're gonna dine in or eat to go while you're waiting for the food, lol. So we get to his place and open the food. My burger was huuuuuge! Wow. I think they accidentally put a piece of onion or something, because I ate this white thing that I thought was lettuce and my mouth started burning and the memories of eating atomic wings from Wingstop began coming back to me... My friend didn't think that his cheeseburger was that big and he finished it within a few minutes ): I, however, had the most difficult time finishing my burger. It might have been because of the burning sensation in my mouth that caused me to lose some of my appetite, or it was the size of the patty. I had started chowing down on a reallyyy empty stomach, so it felt kind of heavy. I ate 3/4 of it and saved the rest for the next day. The fries are soft and taste like baked potatoes- with a bit of spice in the seasoning (some onion powder in it maybe?).. I'm more into the crunchy fries, but oh well. These fries actually weren't greasy at all and felt healthier than the burger, LOL. Anywho, I couldn't even finish my fries. It was all too much for my starving (and shrinking) stomach to handle ): The next day, I opened my burger and all you can really see is the meat, since everything else is smashed. The meat was really dry, and you could see the little pieces of fat in it... I don't think it was meant for saving, though. Still, it was good, especially after i added more ketchup, mustard, and relish (: Still, very heavy in my stomach. If I do come back, I think I'll be trying some of their other stuff, maybe their little bacon cheeseburger. The food seems fresh and really filling, and I like the huge variety of toppings! Though, I have to admit, the sensation of my arteries quickly being clogged up was quite the experience.. A must try for everybody! Would give it a 3.5 read more

after hiking mission peak, my friends and I were HUNGRRYYY. we all ordered cheeseburgers and it ended up being a double cheeseburger. Sweet. The small cheese burgers must be single patties. $5+ for one burger makes it more expensive than inn n out. We ordered the large Cajun fries to split between the four of us and it was enough. they even overfilled the cup so there were extra that fell into the bag, making the portion even bigger. Free peanuts. Customization with MANY MANY options. Quick service. They should open one up in the east bay. I'm hardly ever in southbay so I wont be able to frequent this place. Five guys sure hit the spot! Yum thanks! read more

Five Guys - Cheeseburger with everything :) - Burgers Near Me - Fremont, California

I had a regular burger here last week. Needles to say the prices are very inflated. The flavor isn't anything special and the value in my opinion just isn't there. One of the things I did not like is the meat is way too gamy. Not something I enjoy in meats. When you bite into it you know you're biting into a cow, this Barny taste is not my cup of tea. I won't be going back, I just don't like the taste vs the price. Not justified in my opinion. Too many other better burger places to return to 5 Guys. read more

Came here for the first time and ordered a veggie burger with Cajun fries (all to go). Staff was very friendly and she was very accommodating to my last minute changes. 5/5 for staff On the other hand their food was decent. My expectation was a bit higher based on all the great things I heard about this place. But the food, I think was mediocre. Cajun fries were good, a bit in the soft side and it would be nice if they had some kind of a special sauce with it, not just ketchup. 4/5 My burger's bun was soggy and despite the small size of the burger, my burger was quite messy. 4/5 taste wise it was pretty good read more

Five Guys is always a great place to get a good burger. Even though it's fast food, it really hits the spot. The service is always quick and they are very nice. Always expect a wait, because this place is pretty popular. As a chain, all of them taste the same. Same pricing and decorative interior commemorating their success. Also, each one gives free peanuts. My friends and I always ask for to go bags, to take the peanuts back with us. Pros: - Lots of seating inside - Decently cleaned restrooms - Very customizable burgers - Little sizes are pretty big, one patty - Large portion on fries - Tasty milkshakes Cons: - Remember to be specific and ask for them to read back your order, because if you get it pretty customized, they miss things - They really smother it when you ask for condiments, it oozes out Tips: - The Oreo creme milkshake tastes just like a vanilla milkshake, so if you want it to taste like Oreo make sure they put in the Oreo crumbles - Try the Cajun fries, very seasoned and yummy read more

I heard a lot of mixed reviews about this place, so my friend and I decided to check it out. I know that a lot of other Yelpers compare Five Guys to a certain fast food competitor, but I'll try my best to give an unbiased opinion and leave out the In-N-Out comparisons. When I first saw the menu, I was impressed that all the toppings were written out for you to choose from. You can customize your burger with "normal" condiments such as mayonnaise, pickles, and tomatoes, but you can also add other toppings like green peppers or A-1 sauce. Although we ordered burgers, I'm sure you could also get the same toppings on their hot dogs. The burgers come in two sizes, regular and "little." Don't quote me on this, but I think the only difference between the sizes is the number of beef patties (little = one, regular = two). Is this implying that the majority of their customers need two patties? How sad. Anyway, I ordered the "little" hamburger and Cajun fries, and I was already full before the end of my meal. The Cajun fries are delicious, but the name is misleading. These fries aren't much different from the seasoned fries you'd get at a diner. And I know that Cajun does not automatically translate to spicy, but I was expecting a little pepper spiciness and was disappointed to find it missing. Still, the fries were good, and the regular-sized portion is probably good enough for two people. Sadly, I'd rate the hamburger as.. average. I got it with the usual assortment of toppings (basically, anything you'd expect from a normal burger joint), but I also asked for barbecue sauce because I wanted that extra "kick." Too bad they added too little barbecue sauce to make a difference. The bun seemed a little soggy for my taste, even though I ate my burger right as they finished making it. This leads me to believe that their burgers won't be too satisfying after an hour of sitting on your kitchen counter. The actual meat patty is pretty good though. They only serve their patties well done, which I don't usually enjoy, but the patties are fat enough that they still retain the right amount of juiciness. Awesome. I'd also like to add that if you order a regular-sized cheeseburger, the cheese is placed between the two patties and will probably be semi-melted by the time you take your first bite. The way the food is layered shouldn't make a difference when you start eating your burger, but it's still a nice touch. Oh, and Five Guys only uses peanut oil. I doubt this makes the food any healthier, but it's small things like that make the place unique. I gave Five Guys a 3/5 because it wasn't anything special. I came out satisfied, but it's still the same satisfaction I'd get from any other similarly-priced burger. read more

Five Guys - "Little" Hamburger and Cajun Fries - Burgers Near Me - Fremont, California

After hiking Mission Peak our little party of 3 came here...famished!! And under those conditions, anything would have tasted delicious right? Too bad...so sad...Five Guys Burgers and Fries didn't even do it for us. Am I missing something? What was all the rave and hype with this place? I really wanted to give Five Guys a good rating, but I was so disappointed. Perhaps it was the overwhelming add ons...the soggy bun... the flavorless beef patty? I don't even know what to say...it wasn't good. I have to commend their Cajun fries. YUM! but honestly, I'll just stick to In-N-Out. read more

I walked into this restaurant due to my friend, Robert's, recommendation. I ordered a little hamburger with grilled onions, grilled jalapeños, mustard, mayo and tomatoes. I also ordered a regular sized Cajun fries. The burger was pretty good and quite succulent. The fries were so tasty that they didn't need ketchup. If you order the regular sized fries, you can totally share the generous portion with 1 or 2 other people. Pros: good food, great price, super clean, and pristine restrooms!!! read more

Love this place. You get good food and an argument ahow all in one. Lovely to see what looked like the manager yelling at 2 of her workers first thing when you walk through the door. A bonus! Seriously amazing customer service! you know it folks! if yu want good food and a show this is the place to come! enjoy! read more

I first stumbled upon Five Guys years ago in an airport somewhere on the east coast.. however was reluctant to try. Figured at most it was just an overpriced burger joint attached inside an airport (for the most part it technically was). All the way up until recently, there seemed to be an upcoming hype about Five Guys here in the bay area. When I tried to explain what it was to a fellow coworker, the best answer I could come up with was the East Coast's version of In-N-Out. With the commitment to fresh ingredients like the potatoes, to the fairly simple menu.. it was for the most part a close enough comparison. The patties were moist and tender, and the texture was reminiscent to Wendy's except that it tasted a lot less greasy. The Cajun Style fries reminded me of a less sweet version of Wingstop fries, and the free peanuts... (minus the shells on the floor..) reminded me of Texas Roadhouse. (I probably would've liked it if I was able to just toss the shells on the floor.. but the place looked clean where I was left wondering if it was even acceptable or not.) I would've liked to give it 5 stars, but for the most part the price was quite expensive to piece together a meal.. and they actually messed up my order and I had to come back to get another patty. The food was without a doubt good. Better than In-N-Out though? Dunno, I'd say it's about even for me. read more

It feels like a burger someone made in their backyard! It doesn't replace the place that Inn N Out has in my heart but its def better than any fast food place. I wanna try the fries next... read more

I've always wanted to try Five Guys and today was the day for it! I was kind of disappointed by how you have to order everything separately. For the price of one burger I could've gotten a meal at In-in-Out haha...forreals though. Burger wasn't all that. Mine was dry with very little flavor. I did enjoy the fries, but I didn't quite like the Cajun seasoning fries. Next time, I'm just going to go for some In-in-Out down the street :) read more

I was so excited to try this place out, especially when I heard all the toppings were free. Unfortunately I was disappointed. I tried the Baby Cheeseburger with almost all the toppings. I think maybe the flavors all mixed but it wasn't that great. The flavor was flat. Honestly I can't remember what it even tasted like. Not memorable. One thing I didn't like was that my cheese wasn't melted when I unwrapped my burger out of its tin foil cage. And the bun was cold! A cold bun!? Say it isn't so. It totally was so. =( It was messy, which I could deal with but it wasn't happiness explosions in my mouth (no, that isn't what she said). The only thing that saved this meal was the Cajun-style fries. That is how I like my fries. Other than that, I would still get my cheeseburger fix at In-N-Out. Somehow I feel that the burgers at In-N-Out taste fresher than Five Guys. They just made me feel as squished and unattractive as their unfortunate burgers. read more

Five guys is open for take out and outdoor dining. I'm so happy there's a veggie option too, it's not a veggie burger. It's all the vegetables they have for a regular burger stuffed into a bun. I think it was good, grilled onions, grilled mushrooms & all the fixings. We got the large fries, well done with no salt. It's a big serving, it could feed 3. For the drink station, you have to wait for them to serve you. It only sticks if they're busy and you gotta wait. Sorry we were so hungry, forgot to take pics. read more

Expensive!!!!! The burger is fine and plenty of toppings are available. The fries were ok. Prefer in and out fries. Everything is aka carts so it does add up. 2 kid burgers, one shake. One drink and a bun less burger was over $45. Don't think I'll come back. read more

I like this place. Getting everything on a burger here is a real treat since many items like mushrooms and onions are considered part of that. The burgers are greasy though, so expect to get full. Also, if you have a peanut allergy don't come here, there are peanuts everywhere for people to snack on, just one of their trademark things. Order a small Cajun fries since they always give you twice as much. Yes, it costs more than In and Out but it's a different kind of burger. read more

Pros: Peanuts while you're waiting. Choose any toppings on your burger, and there's sure a long list of them! Cons: Expensive. Long wait. I prefer In N Out to Five Guys any day! It is too similar to In N Out, yet more pricy! Burger was as expected. It was cool you can pick any toppings from the long list and still pay the same price. You could potentially end up with a super big burger. However, the toppings weren't anything exotic to rave about. If I'm paying this much for a burger, I rather add a little more and go to The Counter! read more

I am a loyal, die hard, forever fan or in-n-out burgers. So before you compare this place to in-n-out please check the order of animal style fries I'm stuffing in my mouth right now =P. Don't get me wrong though Five guys is amazing in its own aspect of an up and coming burger joint. I was pretty amazed but remained skeptical the whole time until i started eating. Food: Free peanuts! Free toppings!! OMG these burgers are $#%W big. It was good but a bit too complex for my taste buds. I prefer the simplicity of an In-N-Out burger. I'll come back to try their hot dog next time. Oh! One complaint...seasoned fries were too salty. Service: Pretty good. The cashier spent quite a bit of time explaining their menu. Environment: Feels like a fast food burger joint Price: Pretty hefty for a burger but well worth it. Food: 4 Service: 4 Environment: 3 Price: 3 read more

I can't really pinpoint where I stand with Five Guys. They make good burgers, but the WOW factor was missing which makes me feel that this place is overrated. It can be a bit pricey for a burger joint - for a burger, fries, and soda, it'll cost you roughly $10 to $12. Taking the family out for burgers will easily set you back $40+ and I still consider this a fast food place. The interior feeling/colors feels a lot like In & Out - you also order at the counter and they call your number when your order is ready. Granted, you can order burgers with various toppings, and the burgers are bigger than In & Outs. Everything tastes fresh and their fries are good. However, I much rather go to In & Out for a fraction of the price, and I don't feel so junk fooded out afterwards as their burgers are smaller. read more

So, I guess the 4 stars is relative. In the above-the-fast-food-chain-burger-wars, its 4 stars. Compared to the top end burger joints, more like 3. Anyways, definitely beats the crap out of Mickey, BK, Carl, etc. So, how does it like up vs In-N-Out? Both are very good. I give the edge to 5Guys for 1) think their burger is bigger and juicier 2) more toppings 3) better fries 4) peanuts. Negatives - higher prices. Stopped by on the way home from cutting down our Christmas tree (see Yelp review). We usually order the "small burger" as the big burger is way too big. Come with all the toppings, including mushrooms, and has along list of optional toppings. Fries are bigger than I-N-Os, and they give you tons. And while you wait you can fill up on the free peanuts. More expensive than I-N-O, but IMHO worth a couple extra bucks. I-N-O is fine, too, and there's one closer to home. But if i have a choice (in Fremont I-N-O and 5Guys are in the same mall), I'll pick 5Guys. read more

It seemed like a burger craving day, well lucky for me someone else was buying. With a party of four at high noon, three custom burgers and my burger with everything came out pretty quick, it seemed about 5 minutes, time for me to eat some peanuts and get four containers of ketchup. Burger was juicy, and thick with all the stuff piled high there. We also ordered a large french fries which attacked and all that was left was a brown paper bag with oil spots on it. The place was clean and there was a lot of turnover at the tables and one lone guy cleaning all the tables and emptying all the trash. He was kept very busy. And as a double header we headed to Fry's Electronics after this, more fun stuff =) read more

Still a fan! Have been here a dozen times or so since the last review. My order has been correct every time! Great, meaty taste, not over done, and lots of choices to add to the burgers. The fries are great! If it was closer to work or home, I'd eat here at least once a week! read more

Why are there so many reviews for a Five Guys? Bay Area folks must be crazy about Yelp. I've been a fan of Five Guys since my college days. Their burgers are large and taste good. The toppings are free. Their fries are extremely plentiful. Even if you get a little fry, they still dump a lot of fries into the greasy bag. I wasn't a fan of the grilled cheese though. They used hamburger buns instead of regular toast. The burgers are way better! read more

I go here very often, and always order the little cheesburger, the regular are way too big for me. If you like cajun fries, get regular fries with cajun powder on the side, otherwise is too salty. Great burger for a decent price. I would say ~10$ will get you a full meal with drink. read more

Always love this place. Only 5 guys I have been to so far, but can tell you I love it. Especially that this place is not as busy as in n out on weekends. It's great to get an awesome burger quickly and with less crowds on a weekend night. Also, the Cajun fries are bomb! If you like the Cajun fries, I recommend asking for Cajun seasoning on your burger when they cook it and after.....it is delcious! read more

Ordered online and when I came in my burger was already done, but the workers were just standing around talking to each other (including a possible manager in a black shirt).They threw my fries in after I asked about my order which is wack as hell. Typically my food is ready when I come in 15 minutes after ordering, but they just took extra long this time. I came in 6 minutes after the projected time on the website as well. read more

San Jose is a great city. The staff at that location doesn't stare at you when they're making your burgers and they don't help all the other guests before they come to you. read more

I was already a huge fan of Five Guys thanks to a few visits to some of their SoCal locations. I finally checked out the Fremont location a couple weeks ago since I was in the area and ahhh...my burger craving was satisfied. Personally, since having Five Guys, I like them over In-N-Out but don't get me wrong, I still love In-N-Out. However, Five Guys, it's just...different. I mean...their burgers are so yummy and personalized and the choice of toppings? And their cajun fries...with the super generous serving...YES PLEASE. Wait was a bit long for the food. But it was worth it. Five Guys, I love you. read more

I love this store but last three order my wasn't good. Sometimes burned, sometimes cold last one so salty.

Burgers are big for regular but pricey. It comes fully loaded. Fries are soggy and so so. I still prefer In-n-Out. Free peanuts!

I don't think it's really that amazing... Just a burger place. I like how you can choose whatever you like to go into your burger. I didn't know a regular had two patties so I left the place with an uncomfortably tight pair of pants. Whoops. read more

Five Guys - Burgers Near Me - Fremont, California

No doubt this place would be compared to In-N-Out; but im my eyes I think the comparison is like comparing apples to oranges. Ok, not quite, since they are both burger joints; however, there is definitely a right time for In-N-Out and a right time for Five Guys. Five Guys is the type of burger joint that you'd go to when you're craving a fatty-juicy burger! You KNOW it's bad for you. The burgers here aren't your perfectly cut circle-disk-like burgers. They are handcrafted goodness! You can tell each burger is handmade. You get to choose from more sauces and add-ons than I care to remember. I just went for "everything." You can't go wrong. In comparison, In-N-Out is the type of burger joint that you would go to when you want to kid yourself into thinking you are eating a "healthy" burger. I definitely think that In-N-Out burgers taste lighter and fresher than a Five Guys Burger. I am definitely a Five Guys fan! read more
