Went to the Grand Opening (no freebies, no specials, just open) Thurs 6/10/10 after work, got there about 4:45pm. It's In Pacific Common shopping center -left side of Old Navy, next to Bassett home furnishing & Premier Pizza. NO DRIVE THRU! This is an East Coast fast food place, President Obama ate at a Washington DC one once. No line when I went. FREE peanuts in the shells, eat them after ordering - long wait for food, they were in the box above the garbage can. Order food w/ the Cashier. I wanted a hamburger and found out a Hamburger has 2 patties, so went w/ Little Hamburger which is just 1 patty for $3.69. FREE Toppings! Pick whatever you want. Or you can do "Everything" or "All The Way" which is all the toppings in Black: Mayo, lettuce, pickles, tomatoes, grilled onions, grilled mushrooms, ketchup, mustard. Toppings in red: Relish, onion, jalapeno peppers, green peppers, A1 Sauce, bbq sauce, hot sauce you have to request. Keep receipt for your Order Number. Had to wait about 10 min to get my food. One person grills it, then turns around to give it to another person that add the toppings. Takes forever. My Little hamburger was well-done & kinda dry, just ok. I got it w/ mayo, lettuce, pickles, tomato, grilled mushrooms, ketchup & mustard & asked for A1 sauce, bbq sauce, & hot sauce (taste like Tabasco) on the side. They put them in little salsa cups w/ lid. My total: $3.69 + .36 tax = $4.05. They take Credit Cards. Menu: Little Hamburger (1 patty) $3.69 Little cheeseburger $4.29 Little bacon burger $4.39 Little bacon cheeseburger $4.99 Hamburger (2 patties) $4.99 cheeseburger $5.69 Bacon burger $5.79 Bacon cheeseburger $6.29 Dogs: Kosher style hotdog $3.59 cheese dog $3.89 bacon dog $4.29 bacon cheese dog $4.69 Sandwiches Veggie sandwich $2.99 Cheese veggie sandwich $3.69 Grilled cheese $2.99 FREE Refill on Soda from Soda Fountain Regular $1.89; Lg $1.99 Bottled water $1.99 Fries: Five Guys style & Cajun Style Regular $2.59; Lg $4.59 Cooked in 100% peanut oil Sign says: 100% Fresh Beef: no fillers, no preservatives, Menu is Trans Fat Free.

Fast and friendly service. Pretty great burger and fries for a fast-food joint. Their portion sizes are a bit silly though, as a "small" cheeseburger and fries is a fairly gargantuan portion. I couldn't imagine going with one of the bigger options. read more

I can't seem to like Five Guys even though they've been deemed as one of the best burger places. I would rather go to Red Robin's to be honest. But before I go there, this Five Guys is located in Pacific Commons next to the Old Navy and Market Place Broiler. There's lots of parking. There seems to always been some kind of line, but goes by fairly quickly. Remember to get your free peanuts with two containers so you can have one for the shells. All burgers come with two patties so make sure you pay attention to when you're ordering. Today we got a cheeseburger and small fries. The fries are great. I don't like the cajun flavoring as it just is super salty and unnecessary. The burger was just lack luster...felt like just eating bland meat which was just disappointing. I want some seasoning in my burger or even some kind of flavor. Although they do have free peanuts and good fries, I would still go to In-n-Out or Red Robin's for my burgers. read more

The debate between In-N-Out and Five Guys should be over now...I think I found my winner! Sidenote: In-N-Out is definitely not "fast" food...It took me 35 minutes last time to get a burger! So who else loves free peanuts? And LOTS of topping on a good burger? THIS GIRL HERE! I came here on a Friday evening around 6:30 PM. The place was not too filled, but was starting to get busy. We ordered: -2 orders of bacon hamburgers // The toppings varied per each burger, but you get the idea. LET ME JUST ADD MORE OF THE GRILLED MUSHROOMS. AND CAN I JUST GET MORE JALEPENOS? (Holy...that gave me a run for my money!) -1 large order of cajun fries // CRISP TO PERFECTION. What else can I say?! And I love that they just pour so much fries into your cup/bag! It's like an overflowing Halloween bag! Pros: -SO MANY TOPPING OPTIONS. The ones on the main menu is not all! Right next to the cash register there is a laminated sheet with more! -Great service! Super patient girl! Smiles and all! -Awesome portion! Yeah...so while it looks humungous in photos but it is definitely the perfect size for me. Cons: -Bun a bit too soggy...I guess they wrap it in aluminum to 1) melt the cheese, 2) keep the burger warm, 3) let you leave if it's togo? But still. Kind of sad that the bun was soggy. It would definitely be a 5/5 if the bun was not a hot mess. Tips/Observations: -Plentiful parking! -Give Five Guys a shot, you In-N-Out die-heart fans! Overall, coming here again! I can't wait to eat here when I head back to school in September! And the best part? It is within bussing distance, unlike some other place that requires a drive! read more

Okay I'm being super generous but 3 stars. First off, I think I got my hopes up because of all the hype about this place. I went to see what the hype was about and ended up disappointed... I ordered a cheeseburger ($5.69) and a regular drink ($1.89) which was a total of $8.32. This didn't include fries which were about $2 and some change more. Any burger item on the menu with the word "Little" in front of the name comes with only 1 meat patty. Everything else has 2 meat patties. The toppings were free but if you think about it, the price you pay for the burger covers the toppings regardless if you want them or not. I decided to order my cheeseburger and told the cashier I wanted everything (also called all the way) on it. My friend ordered a little bacon cheeseburger for $4.99 so I could compare the size of one meat patty vs two meat patties. I filled up my cup with Cherry Coke and maybe it was the machine I used (the left one) but it was flavorless. It was almost like drinking colored carbonated water but with like a tiny taste or something. Later, I dumped it out and got regular Coke but that, too, didn't taste like Coke. There were a lot of seats and tables so finding a seat won't be a problem unless you come at a busy time (probably). Next came the wait for our orders. We waited awhile because there were orders from other people before us. They didn't have any microphone to call out the numbers of the orders; instead, the guy was "yelling" out the numbers, but I didn't think it was loud enough. They had free peanuts to eat as well but I don't think I saw a lot of people grab some. I guess peanuts, burgers, and fries don't mix with each other. Apparently, everybody will get their orders in a brown paper bags. The burger was wrapped in tin foil and the burger looked pretty big while it was wrapped. My friend opened the tin foil to find his burger looking very sloppy as if the employees had a little too much fun making his burger since it was "all the way." My burger was better... The burger was just okay but the buns were ehhh.... soggy. The bottom bun was soggy while the top was okay. As I ate, the meat and toppings fell out. The meat and everything were okay and really nothing special. I ate the remains with a fork and it seemed to taste better because there was no bun. I felt that the buns weren't complementing the burger like how other burger places do. Who knows? It might have been just my burger with the soggy buns. So $8.32 for a burger and drink... not worth it in my opinion. The employees were nice and helpful though so that's a plus. read more

The "Regular" burgers at Five Guys have 2 patties. The "Little" burgers have just one. The patties are bigger than In-n-Out with prices to match. Ordered the Cheeseburger "All the Way" (Mayo, Relish, Lettuce, Pickles, Tomatoes, Grilled Onions, Grilled Mushrooms, Ketchup, Mustard. $5.69) They have additional toppings like jalepenos, A-1 steak sauce, bbq sauce, green peppers, and hot sauce. All toppings (except cheese & bacon) are free. Also got the regular size Cajun Fries ($2.59. same price as non-Cajun) and regular soda ($1.89). Total of $11.17 with tax. I thought it was odd that they don't ask "Here or to go" and everyone gets their stuff in a brown paper bag. I ripped that open to get to the burger at the bottom because the top was filled with fries. The regular size fries is pretty big. At least twice the size of the cup trying to hold them and should be easily enough for 2 average appetite people (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/o8JXGeY0vunuBsUdkoxd2w?userid=DsHsuhUvyyW_75zFcJxkKw). They were on the limp / soggy side so don't believe the "Five Guys Knows Fries" sign. The Cajun seasoning was the thing that kept me eating them. The burger was piled high (~4" tall) with all the toppings (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/o8JXGeY0vunuBsUdkoxd2w?select=Z9kf2N_4VFZrFi04iMnXWQ). It gets messy. I squeezed it down to eat it and grilled onions, mushrooms, and pieces of meat oozed out. I won't go "All the Way" if I come back here. Really messy and too many competing flavors that covered up the meat taste (or maybe there wasn't much) of the patties. They proudly proclaim that they cook their patties "Well Done" for consistency and flavor so I was pleasantly surprised that the patties weren't overcooked, dry pucks of meat. Not the juiciest, but decent. They hand form their patties which probably explains the pieces of meat falling off the edges that I mentioned before. I wasn't a fan of the bun. It was toasted and held up well to all the wet toppings, but it was kinda dense and dry (non-juiced parts). The texture reminded me of Safeway's Artisan Split Crust rolls which I absolutely despise.

So I did not realize that Five Guys made veggie cheese sandwiches!!! It's basically a burger without the patty, and it's good! The little order of Cajun fries is actually not "little" at all! It's always a very generous serving! Picking up from here is really easy, and they always make the milkshakes fresh when you arrive to pick up, which I really appreciate. Five Guys is now our go-to for fast food in our area! We prefer this to In-n-out now cause their fries are so much better! read more

The food is awful and the price is way over the average cost of a good burger place. How do businesses like this even exist? I feel bad for the workers because they are only making the food which is on the menu. This will be my first and last time at any 5 Guys read more

Only been here a few times... But this is definitely a great burger spot to go to when you want to create your own patty burger with whatever toppings you like. I absolutely love their Little Bacon Cheese Burger w/ grilled onions, pickles and mayo :) This place has great customer service as well. I suggest to call in order by phone and then pick it up, as it does gets packed in here. read more

Five Guys - A burger place with out vanilla. - Burgers Near Me - Fremont, California

I finally got a chance to stop into five guys after hearing many reviews and hype about this place. Maybe I was expecting tooo much because of what people have said but I wasn't totally WOWed by it. It just tasted like any ol burger joint to me. The plus about this place were any additional toppings were free. There's the mayo, lettuce, grilled onions, raw onions, but they also have extras like mushrooms, green peppers, jalapeno peppers, relish and others. I was surprised that none of these toppings were additional charge. There was also a box of peanuts with the paperboats next to them. While you wait for your food you can scoop up a boat of peanuts to munch on (however, i thought it was strange that it was located right next to/on top of the garbage can). As soon as you walk into this place you smell the deep fried oil quite strongly. (You also leave smelling like the place) It was also fairly stuffy in there. It was crowded and hard to find seats, but it's a saturday afternoon and to be expected. I ordered the "little hamburger" but there was nothing litle about it, it was quite filling. I think the only difference between the little and the regular is the regular has an extra patty. I also ordered regular cajun fries. My cup was full AND it looked like they threw in an extra handful into my bag. LOTS of fries. I wouldn't mind coming back here, it is not one of my favorites but it wasn't bad. read more

Five Guys - Little burger and Cajun fries. - Burgers Near Me - Fremont, California

Short Story: Five Guys make the best burgers...not so much on the fries. Long Story: I came here on a Thursday night and was warmly greeted as soon as I entered the door. It's their protocol to announce to their staff when someone enters. As I approached the counter the employee greeted me and asked if I had been to Five Guys before. I ordered my usual burger with extra toppings. They are quite generous with the toppings and I their burgers are cooked well. It's a fast food place so you can't really rate them on service, ambiance, and decor. What I can say is that their staff are friendly and the place is clean. Those are bonuses...much better compared to McDonalds, Burger King, etc. Even when you compare them against In-n-Out, Five Guys rock! Verdict: I'm going back soon to get my burger fix. read more

I ordered the usual cheeseburger with all black letters toppings and regular fries. Pros: The Five Guys staff did an awesome job of making my burger so no mess. All of the ingredients were there. Cons: The fries were a little overcooked. The color was dark and nearly burn. The wait was longer than usual with an even less crowd. read more

As my review from the 2013 says, it used to be the best burger on earth. I have not had a chance to try the Five Guys for a while but I should've stayed away if I knew their quality has gone done so much. I was hesitating to still buy or not when I saw the little cheeseburger posted on their menu for $7.15 regardless how many topping I could get. Since I was already inside the store, I was hoping the portion is bigger and taste much better than a whopper or in n out. Unfortunately, it was not any bigger than the either of those $3 burgers and it did not taste any better.... If I paid $3 to 4 dollars... maybe I at least wouldn't feel like I was ripped of... 3 burgers for my kids were only with the mayo and lettuce which ended up making the worthless burger even worse... Go to in n out unless their $10 burger is any better... I'm not returning.... read more

The was good as usual, no complaints at all. What got me here was the overall condition of the restaurant was far less than pat. Drinks spilled on the floor, dirty tables, the condiment area was not clean. This is the food service people! Clean it up. I used to be a restaurant manager and if I had walked into this, heads would roll. I am not sure who the manager on duty is but he should go back to training and learn how to clean a restaurant!! Just simply uncalled for! read more

I LOVE Five Guys! It's my favorite thing to eat when I'm craving a burger, especially after a really intense workout. However, I've been to this location twice and they've messed up my order each time. Sometimes they forgot onions or something small, no big deal for me. However, the most recent time, my cousin and I each ordered burgers and they made two of her order and none of mines. The employees were very apologetic and tossed the burger and made me a fresh one, which is fine and all, but it wasn't even a crowded day. Only two people had ordered before us and there were only about 2 orders behind us. Mind you, we came in on a weekday afternoon at around 2 PM. The food tastes great and is consistently good, but I'm really tired of getting the wrong order. It just becomes a hassle after a while, especially when they make big mistakes. Imagine if you were allergic to something and the messed up! Definitely could pose a problem to people. read more

Food: 4.0 Service: 3.0 Average: 3.5 I went in on a random weekday at around 2:30 pm so there was no real crowd there. It was pretty easy to place my order, but the food still took a bit to come out. The cashier did seem somewhat distracted and eventually began chatting up his friend rather than pushing out the food. Overall, the taste of everything was great as usual, but service could have been better. I will probably still drop in because...who can say no to cajun fries?! read more

Oh Five Guys how much I love you! I've already been to other locations and this one is just as good! You enter and you order by first choosing an option (burger, cheeseburger, bacon cheeseburger, etc) then you tell them what toppings you want (lettuce, mayo, mushrooms, etc) and chose fries and a drink! It's so simple and I REALLY appreciate the option of the customer telling them what toppings. From a picky eater I hate having to omit a long list of topping I don't want so this is great! The burger itself is DELICIOUS! It's very juicy( they have 2 patties) and the meat just tastes fresh and is cooked to perfection! I also ordered a milkshake and it was thick and frothy very good also! They give you a ton of fries in your bag and they're also very fresh tasting! Love five guys and probably one of my top favorites for my burger and milkshake needs! I would consider trying their hot dogs too. This specific location also had a great staff they really wanted to ensure the customer was happy and get orders out on time! read more

This is where burgers come to die. Im a big fan of burgers and I find it hard to mess up such a simple concept but this place manages to do that. The burgers are sad looking and fall apart the fries are extremely salty and the flavor is just bland. I don't know how five guys managed to snag all the awards on the walls when their burgers dont taste like anything. For the same price you can get quality burgers at the habit and in n out nearby. Ive been here multiple times but each visit had been met with a sad, unseasoned burger that looks like it came out of a factory. This place is all about quantity over quality. You will be full but your tastebuds will hate you afterwards. read more

The food was smacking. The cheeseburger was really really good. The fries were made just right and the Oreo cookie milkshake was perfect. This Five Guys is the best one I have been to. read more

Here is my favorite fact taken direct from their company website: "There are no freezers in Five Guy locations, just coolers. Nothing is ever frozen." Yeah those fatty little burgers are juicy, and nice little slippers to wear into the mouth. I'm a lettuce and tomato guy, and the ones on these burgers never disappoint. The French Fries are too salty, but there's a little skin on them and they are on the fatter side. I finish them regardless. I also like the Milk Shakes a lot, they got more than just three flavors. And there are complimentary shell peanuts for the heck of it. These badass menu items are a good guilty pleasure, the lot of it. So... Here is my favorite opinion taken direct from my own brain, btw: My lips are always a little salty afterwards, my tongue the flavor of rawhide. I always hit my Vaseline tube in my car afterwards, and perhaps use a baby wipe to clean myself. I feel a little, "Eww." But you'll probably find me here five or six times a year. I'll choose it over "The Habit" anytime. #goingfat read more

WOW! it opened today and of course i was there to finally experience this east coast burger. it was awesome and is truly so much better than any in n out burger i have ever had. it's no no val's burgers but it's damn good for a well done burger! i took my dad and he's very picky but he loved it and even compared it to a val's. I LOVE IT!! i got a cheeseburger with mayo, relish, grilled onions, lettuce, pickles, tomatoes, bacon, grilled mushrooms and bbq sauce. i made it a messy one but oh so worth it. i love that they give you free toppings so i can load it up the way i want. the meat was so tender and juicy and the ingredients so fresh. the basic burger comes with 2 beef patties. the sesame seeded bun was awesome as well. and the fries- they are great and might be some of the best i have had! unless you have a group of friends to help you out with the fries stick with a small order. it's still a huge amount! if you get a soda get the large over the regular as it's only 10 cents more. yeah,10 cents! i love this place and i will be back asap but it's really gonna hurt my summer swim suit plans! :) Hamburger (2 patties) $4.99 cheeseburger $5.69 Bacon burger $5.79 Bacon cheeseburger $6.29 Little Hamburger (1 patty) $3.69 Little cheeseburger $4.29 Little bacon burger $4.39 Little bacon cheeseburger $4.99 Fries: Five Guys style & Cajun Style Regular $2.59; Lg $4.59 ALL TOPPINGS FREE: Mayo, Relish, Onions, Lettuce, Pickles, Tomatoes, Grilled Onions, Grilled Mushrooms, Ketchup, Mustard, Jalapeno Peppers, Green Peppers, A-1 Sauce, Bar-B-Q Sauce, Hot Sauce read more

Five guy burgers drill: waiting alongside stacks of bagged raw potatoes. order, get a number, see carton with shell on peanuts. grab a few. (not too bad). wait for burger. burger arrives, after burger is eaten, one ponders : is that all this is? sampling: -hamburger (4.99) two patties, well done, dry and tasteless....where's the juice? probably hiding in the cheese i didn't order. if it was one big patty, it would have been juicier and taken longer to cook..... -ordered burger "all the way" (toppings in black): mayo, relish, grilled onions, lettuce, pickle, grilled mushrooms, and tomatoes. definitely saw one of each on my bun, wished i could say i tasted each item but that's a different review. -maybe should have ordered a-1 sauce or bbq sauce with the burgers. crumbs: -it's not about the "free toppings". the burger didn't pass mustard. -didn't see any info about burger meat composition. -five guys selling "sizzle"(toppings) not the steak (burger). read more

I prefer to give this place a 3.5 stars but hey what the heck, let's just round it up to 4 starts. I've been meaning to pass by Five Guys ever since it's opening and I didn't get the chance until today after passing by Fremont. It's been over a year that I've had Five guys in Jersey so the only thing I remember is how delicious the cajun fries were, free peanuts, and how much i liked their burgers with all the free toppings. The exact thing held true to this West Coast Five Guys Branch now! I do give them props with these stars because: 1. FREE UNLIMITED PEANUTS 2. FREE UNLIMITED REFILLS 3. FREE UNLIMITED TOPPINGS on your burger 4. REGULAR BURGERS include 2 patties 5. Hot Dogs 6. Veggie burgers available on the menu while In 'N Out is a off the menu item. In those departments, Five Guys beats In 'N Out Burgers. For the price of $5, you get a double beef patty, which will stuff you like no other. More toppings added, the more stuffed you will get! Any sauce can be included also. The Cajun fries didn't taste as marvelous as it did the last time I tried it. Maybe a little crunchier will do the trick since it was soggy at some parts. I definitely enjoyed it though. The burger itself, I was basically eating a double double. More than what I expected! The beef felt light though compared to other burger joints! The line was out of the door. Negative factor: No Drive Thru! I am still wondering what do people eat there that accompanies the vinegar bottles I saw around the venue. Can't wait for the san jose location to open so that it is closer to me :) read more

I finally joined the band wagon and decided to trek out in Fremont to try this joint and I'm so glad that I finally did! It was a Monday night so my anticipating of it being packed... was thankfully gone! I ordered a cheeseburger with grilled mushrooms and ketchup... and shared a regular fries... I also tried the peanuts as appetizers... it was interesting. I actually quite enjoyed it! Food came... first bite: wow. Delicious. The burger patties were seasoned and cooked well. It wasn't overcooked or undercooked... just made right. The grilled mushrooms was a nice touch... Regular size fries are just enough for two people. I didn't do the Cajun b/c of the spicy effect but I was happy with the regular as well. I honestly thought it was all hyped up but if you're feeling like a good decent burger together with customizing it ... this is definitely a good spot ... and good for your wallet. I'm pretty sure you're health will hate it but if you go to the gym the next day, you'll be fine! That's what I did! I just wished they serve milkshakes just to complete the whole experience =) I'll definitely be back... maybe after a long ride / run / hike / dualthalon? Makes it all worth it so the guilt won't be too much! read more

I have been trying to go to this Five Guys for a while but i usually am driving a 53Ft truck . But I got called into work the night before and had to take a run to Sacramento and got off at 6am. So my boss hooked me up with a later start time and covered my first route for me. So I got to Dead Head down to San Jose. So I rolled to Five Guys and and Fries for Lunch. I wandered in and there was no line LOL. So I rolled up to the Counter and ordered a Bacon Cheeseburger with the works and Jalapeno Peppers and Grilled Onions . Cajun Fries and a small Coke. 7 Minutes later I had an awesome tasting Burger that was huge and a bag full of spicy Cajun fries. Yummy. I'm a fan. I hope they open some stores in the East bay. read more

Oh, Five Guys.. I've heard such lovely things about you, but I must've come on a major downer day. Or perhaps this location is glitchy (maybe they were understaffed, as I saw a hiring sign in the window?), in which case I'm open to giving another location a try. I don't know if this is true for all locations, but the first thing I noticed upon walking in was how harsh the fluorescent lighting is.. it's just something about the combination of white linoleum, cold concrete, and fluorescent lighting that makes me feel like I'm stepping into a jail cell or interrogation room, and neither of those places makes for a pleasant dining experience. There were also more dirty tables than clean, as it didn't seem like there was enough waitstaff to come around and clean the tables promptly. I ended up having to grab napkins and wipe down a table myself so that my friends and I could sit down. Service was fine as far as ordering goes, since it's hard to mess up cashier ordering. The orders took seemingly forever to come out though, and there was a large gap of fifteen minutes or so between a few of our orders, so that by the time we all got our food, the first person's was already lukewarm (even with the paper bag and foil). Little hamburger with everything except mayo and pickles: (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/five-guys-burgers-and-fries-fremont?select=8IWg_Sze_YmQ00BEDPPxQQ#pFv1q3MgV0-axbvLiJdAMw) First and foremost, I detested the foil wrapper; it made me feel like someone had hastily stuffed the burger in as part of a rushed school lunch. The foil also smelled of old, dried dishwater.. I just don't know how else to describe it, but it had a subtle stinkiness to it that I associate with drains and sewage. Perhaps I just have a strong aversion to foil and it caused my olfactory senses to go haywire? I do appreciate the fact that so many toppings are offered, but I'd pick quality over quantity any day. The ketchup and mustard were slathered onto the slightly-dry patty so thickly that I couldn't taste anything else. The buns were also somewhat soggy from the condensation, and I ended up peeling most of them away. Cajun fries: (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/five-guys-burgers-and-fries-fremont?select=8IWg_Sze_YmQ00BEDPPxQQ#2FLtiDtthoVGABAtgC_dpA) I do have to appreciate the piping hot temperature of the fries here, and I really like that that lets me know they were freshly made. However, I really wasn't a fan of the paper cup guise, especially as half of them spilled out into the bag anyway. The Cajun fries here didn't taste that different from regular fries to me, so I don't know that I would get it again. Regular fries: (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/five-guys-burgers-and-fries-fremont?select=8IWg_Sze_YmQ00BEDPPxQQ#i3LFTZim0XVd0Eltz3w4eg) Like I said above, the Cajun and regular fries taste about the same. The only difference was that these were a little soggier, possibly from sitting around a bit longer. They were also a tad bit overfried. All in all, not the best first impression of Five Guys. read more

My brother was raving about this place how they are way better than In N Out. I was really skeptical since I thought InNOut is as good as they come. Five Guys is located in the Pacific Common where Quinzos and Starbucks used to be. When you first walked into Five Guys they basically show off their fresh working materials. There were some sacks of potatoes along the queuing. While looking at the overhead menu, I noticed that there wasn't any value combinations. Everything on the menu has to be ordered individually which adds up the cost and was definitely more pricey than InNOut. I had ordered the hamburger with everything, large regular fries, and regular soda. Receiving the food is really interesting also. It not really a green way of distributing the food since it produce more garbage than necessary. Everyone had gotten their food in a goto doggy bag, there is no option for getting your food on a reusable tray. Despite the fact that I asked my burger to have everything on it, the burger was in a very decent size to bite into. Also surprising, the regular size burgers are two meat patties, I later found out that the little size are 1 patty burgers. The meat patties were definitely legit. They looked like freshly minced meat before it hit the grill. The burger was very good it came together really well but I didn't like how they foil package sealed the whole burger rendering the bun a slightly wet and maybe soggy from the condensation. I really wished that they toasted the buns a bit. The fries were definitely better than InNOut. The fries were a lot thicker and meatier. I totally forgot to ask for the fries to be kicked up with some of that cajun spice. Five Guys were super generous with the fries that I thought I can refill my large cup of fries again from what was spilled into my paper bag. So what it my verdict?--- Five Guys Fries are better than In N Out Fries. And In N Out Burgers are better than Fries Guys Burgers ---- + Pro: Legit meat patties, awesome fries. - Con: Pricey, Lil Non-green. ( ^_^) Overall: Great burgers read more

For all you IN AND OUT LOVERS out there..... there's a new BURGER JOINT IN TOWN and it's going to take In and Out...outta business!!! Look at these pictures and tell me it doesn't make your mouth water! Bigger burgers, double patties, extra condiments free of charge! I'm not crazy about the fries and if you're allergic to peanuts, then stay away from them (I think they use peanut oil). Five Guys - welcome to the WEST COAST! Sooo glad you came reppin for the YAY AREA!!!!! P.S. If you're new to this spot, start with the mini burger. It's a good size that will easily fill you up. But if you're just looking to throw down, have at it and order the regular size - just know that you've been forewarned. =) read more

The kiddos and I enjoyed our burgers. They weren't out of this world, but they're burgers it's like what do you expect I guess. I like that you can order as many toppings as you want and there isn't an additional charge. read more

8 hours after exposure and I'm still sweatin' grease. I'm a sucker for grand openings, despite my unpleasant past experiences. There's a thrill in being among the firsts to try something new. I bought in to the hype about the East Coast's master of burgers invading the Bay Area and decided to check it out on opening day. Needless to say, a return back to Five Guys will be the end of me. Arriving around 1:30pm, we were able to avoid the massive lunch rush and stood in line of about 6 deep. The clerks were quick and efficient in taking orders and did a good job listening to how each hungry patron customized their burger with the free toppings (choice of mayo, lettuce, pickles, tomatoes, grilled onions, grilled mushrooms, ketchup, mustard, relish, jalapenos, green peppers, A-1 sauce, BBQ sauce, hot sauce). I kept my cheeseburger simple with just mayo & hot sauce while my beastly brother slapped everything onto his. After forking out a hurtful $28 for 2 burgers, 1 hotdog, 1 large cup of cajun fries, & 3 sodas, we sat and waited for what we were all hoping to be a spectacular meal. My eyes bulged out of their sockets when they finally called our number and all I saw was a brown paper bag, soaked beyond transparency with grease from the cajun fries. Little did I know, what was waiting for me inside my foil wrapped burger was much more dreadful - 2 beef patties pancaking a thick slice of cheese, smothered with a massive dose of mayo & hot sauce oozing out from every end. Oh my poor little arteries!! They were not prepared for this battle. I heard their painful shrieks with every bite: "Please don't clog meeee!!" Sorry babies, mama didn't want to waste her $5.59 burger. I think for the price, I'd rather eat at the local sit down diner like Val's or Nation's for a burger with higher quality ingredients and fresher meat. Not everybody likes a well-done patty or soggy buns. I have to admit, the cajun fries were bomb, but please ease up on the salt a bit. The soda fountain was running low on syrup as well, but I was kind enough to notify the managers and they fixed it right away. It's going to take some time to recover, but I think Five Guys has left me scarred with fear. Not sure if I want to re-encounter downing that much grease ever again. read more

The second I walked in here, I thought I was at In and Out burger, because the designs on the wall look like an imitation of In and Out's. The lines here are really long, which isn't surprising since they have no drive through. But considering the large amount of business they get, they have a small amount of seating. Most of the seating is outside in the cold. The burgers, in my opinion, are 5 star. They have a large variety of toppings you can put on them. I basically got everything on mine and my burger came out fat!! I suggest that if you're going to get fries (which is a must) you might have to share it with a friend or two, because 1 small fries = 2 x-large fries from McDonalds. Overall this place has great food, but it can get really crowded read more

Sorry..I'm not a fan. I've tried to force myself to enjoy it, but the burgers are OK at best. Not a fan of the fries, either. I can think of a dozen other places to eat at if I'm shopping around for a heart attack. read more
