Five Guys fries are the best! This location is good most of the time, with an occasional "off" day. I've always done takeout here, so I cannot speak to the in-store experience other than checkout and cleanliness (not bad, but room to improve here). I believe in the three years I've been going to this location, I've only gotten one incorrect order and one order where they forgot to give me my Coke. I've never had to wait very long for an order , and their oil is not old-tasting/bitter as it is at several other restaurants that sell fries. I don't eat burgers that often, and I am super picky when I do, but theirs are pretty good for non-flame grilled. read more

I enjoy these burgers. Service is always pleasant. It does take a while for them to cook the burgers and they are expensive. But I love them

Wait.... If you're going to spend $40 for two burgers and an order of fries, it had better be good...right? Damn good...right? Well, at the Five Guys in Longmont, the answer is wrong! The burgers were cold, the fries greasy and cold, plus they got the order wrong. But the biggest sin was that the food had absolutely no flavor and wasn't worth eating. Wait... high prices AND bad food? I think not. Get a burger that's worth eating for $1 more at The Pumphouse... consistently yummy, with blow your head off delicious fries, always delicious and always hot. You won't be sorry. read more

[Original review] Best burgers in the state; second only to Whataburger in the universe. Each burger is made exactly how you want it. My favorite: bacon cheeseburger (w/2 patties), lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, onions, mustard. Yum. They don't skimp on fries, either. Free peanuts to munch on while you wait. Not the cheapest burger joint in town, but you're paying for quality. [2020-03-20 update] We're doing our part to support local restaurants during the COVID-19 restrictions, so we went to 5 Guys today to get takeout. It is highly annoying to be told to stand 6 feet away from your family members - the people you rode with in a CAR to the restaurant. Use common sense, people! read more

I guess ordering a hamburger with tomato was bit too much for the cook last night and it blew his mind. Considering that I was the only customer in the restaurant at the time, I figured that it would be a simple order to fulfull. read more

Five Guys messed up my order and sent the Grubhub order with an ingredient I am allergic to. I called Five Guys and Brady quickly took responsibility and instructed me to call Grubhub for a refund and reorder and they'd get right on it. Grubhub was less than helpful and offered a partial refund. I called Five Guys back and they called Grubhub on my behalf. No dice. So Brady, Nadine and the crew remade my order and Brady drove it out to me. ABOVE AND BEYOND. For someone with a chronic illness that has difficulty leaving the house and who wanted hot yummy food - this meant the world to me. THANK YOU BRADY!! I know usually this is not an option because of staffing needs and being busy. I just want you to know how grateful I am, and how I'm moved to tears at the compassion and consideration. Please reward Brady and the Super Bowl Sunday afternoon team. Peace and Go Chiefs! read more

I could've sworn I reviewed this place, but apparently not... The burger was ok but honestly I like Wendy's better... The fries were very greasy, and a small portion was more than enough for two of us. The peanuts were interesting, but for take-out they were in the bag with the fries and that gave an odd flavor. The menu is simple and service was friendly. I realize this place is very popular and loved across the country, but it's not my burger place, I like them big and juicy and this just didn't do it for me. read more

I used to love this place. But... tonight was awful. 25 minute wait for our food with 7 people working. Milkshakes alone took 15 minutes. They just kept giving out door dash orders and leaving customers in store waiting. We weren't the only ones waiting a long time. The lobby was very dirty, and my husband said the bathroom was worse. The food is good still but the prices have gone up so much it's not worth it. I'll go back if they change policy to serve customers waiting first, and if they clean up. Until then I think I'll go to Bad Daddies, at least I get table service there for this price. read more

I ordered a couple milkshakes via ubereats The wait time was originally 45-50 minutes, a big long for a place 10 minutes away but I digress. I brushed it off, it's a Friday night they may be busy. However that 45-50 minutes turned into 1 hour and 50 minutes. It would've been just another thing I would've quickly gotten over and forgot about, except for the fact that my milkshake came without whipped cream. Now I'm a bit livid. read more

This is a little hard for me to do, as I've been a happy, card-carrying member of the In-n-Out cult for some time now. What I'm about to say may cause me to lose friends, get bitten by my dog and make my wife think about seeing other guys, but the truth must out. Alas, here it is: In my humble opinion, FIVE GUYS IS BETTER THAN IN-N-OUT BURGER. There. I said it. Here are my reasons: 1. Burgers. The burgers are, first, bloody huge. But that's only a good thing because they're also really tasty. They're made to order and served up hot with whatever toppings you care for (I just did cheese with lettuce, tomato, pickles, sauteed mushrooms, fresh jalapenos). You might have to unhinge your jaw to get those first few bites in, but it's worth it. 2. Fries. To be honest, I've been waffling about the fries. Tonight, though, I finally came down on 5G's side: I love 'em. They're quite a bit larger than typical fast food fries, which means that you can actually taste that they're made from (you'll never guess...) potatoes. Now, I'm the first one to admit that even fried gravel would have to be pretty good, but it is, ultimately, a nice thing to taste something other than 'fried' when eating fries. You can't talk about 5G's fries without mentioning a weird thing that they do. At first I thought it was a mistake, but it looks like they consistently give you at least twice as many fries as will fit in the styrofoam cup that they are nominally served in. So, you get your bag of food and the burgers are actually buried in a lovely, hot pile of loose fries in the bag. When my daughter and just ate there, we thought we'd split a large fry. The pimply-faced kid at the register sized us up and indicated that the large 'serves 4 or 5 people.' So we split a small and still could hardly finish them. Plus! Tonight I finally noticed the bottles of malt vinegar available for use in the dining room. I love me some malt vinegar on my mountain of fries! 3. Things other than burgers and fries. My kid, for reasons unclear, doesn't like burgers. So, tonight she ordered a bacon and cheese hot dog, which she also loved. Luckily, she got filled-up on all of those fries and wasn't able to finish her dog. Not wanting to waste food, I finished the last few bites and agree that that was one hell of a hot dog. So, I've converted. I'll still go to In-n-Out when I'm in California for business, but if I've got a choice between the two, I'd pick Five Guys. read more

Well... THAT was disappointing. I don't know what happened to this place, it used to be a 4 even 5 star place in my book, but they're getting sloppy. First, I ordered a bacon cheeseburger with no bun and extra cheese and extra bacon (both of which are considered toppings and included at no extra cost- one of things I liked about this place). They charged me for the extra bacon and extra cheese. I had to get a manager to reverse the charges. Then, I bring my hard won burger home and, a little cheese, it looked, maybe, one slice of thin cheese, it barely covered the burger, and almost no bacon, maybe 1/4 of one small slice. For almost $9, I expect one serious burger. Especially if that's all I'm ordering (no drink, no fries, not even a glass of water). $9 for a bacon cheeseburger that turned out to be 2 quarter pound patties, a little cheese and almost no bacon= pitiful. I'm sad. This used to be my go to place for the all American standby: a burger. No more. read more

Five Guys - Late, so, a bit empty. - Fast Food Near Me - Longmont, Colorado

I really wanted to like this place. It got a lot of hype and came highly recommended. In the end, I was disappointed. The burger was nothing special. They do really well on the french fries...I'd say that's their strength. The burger - meh. The patty was pretty thin and not very tasty and the ingredients were not inspiring. Still looking for the best burger in Longmont. read more

What happened to this place? Went in last night and it was chaos. Ordered burgers, fries and milkshakes. Should have been easy since that is what this place does. No, the food was ready and tge woman doing shakes wasn't aware she was at work. Stood around staring at the wall while our take out got cold. 7 minutes to get the stupid shakes. Won't go back. Far too expensive for pretty lousy food and worse customer service. Cold burgers and fries are disgusting read more

Recently we had a great experience with their customer service. The bottom of the bag fell apart as we were walking out to our car and the food was wasted onto the ground. I immediately return with the broken bag and spilled food and explained. An employee apologized and made us a fresh order of everything, no questions asked. Everyone was polite and professional. I commend the manager, Mark, and his great staff for making us feel like valued customers. Oh, the food was very good! Lela S. read more

I don't know what all the fuss is about this restaurant... I wasn't thrilled with my meal, a Bacon Cheeseburger and a Veggie Sandwich. The Bacon Cheeseburger was huge with two patties of meat but it was boring and greasy. The Veggie sandwich was a meatless burger sandwich with only toppings and vegetables and was quite distasteful. The gentleman who took my order explained that it was NOT a vegetarian-styled, meatless burger patty, but I had expected something a little more palatable. It could be ordered with cheese - only processed American - for +/- $1. Yuck! The burgers come with many choices of toppings from the usual, to grilled onions and jalapeños, etc. I believe that French fries must be one of their specialties and sacks of potatoes and gallons of (peanut?) oil were placed prominently near the counter and in the seating appearing as if they could also be on sale or as an alternate storage place. I didn't have them, so I have no judgment on them. The Milkshakes looked interesting and had a variety of flavors and mix-ins for about $5-6. I might come back for just that... The restaurant is clean and it's somewhat entertaining to watch the open kitchen while they prepare your food. read more

Raw fries, Raw fries, Raw fries! Every time. Even when we put in a request to cook them extra they came to us raw!

Good burgers, great French fries, and they make old fashion malts. Plenty of peanuts to snack on while your waiting for your order.

Not going to lie it wasn't cheap. Family of four was $50.00. The food was pretty good and the burgers are just a nice greasy burger. Tin of flavor but don't come here is you're on a diet. What put it over the edge for me was the service. Super friendly and even split up some of the shakes so I don't have to order more. I really appreciate that form a "fast food" joint. read more

Delivery arrived over an hour after ordering, food cold and $6 milkshake was not only completly melted but also was full of clumps of powdered malt as though they hadn't even bothered to mix it. There might have be whipped cream on top, but by the time it finally arrived it had either completly dissolved or was never there. Most disgusting milkshake I have a ever attempted to consume. At least I was able to salvage the fries by popping them in the oven. $30 for the worst burger, fries, and milkshake I've ever had. read more

Popped in here on a Thursday evening and the place was packed. Apparently this is the most exciting thing to come to Longmont in a while! We got in the line, which moved along quickly, but then they make each burger to order, so it was still a bit of a wait before we received the goods. Everything is to go, so if you are eating right there, you just take your bag to a table (if you can find one) and eat. There are free peanuts for you to snack on while you wait. It was a very energetic environment and I couldn't believe how many worker bees were behind the counter in their little red outfits. Seemed like they had the routine down pat, even just a week or two after opening. Everyone seemed cheerful. We ordered a hamburger and a cheeseburger and what I *would* have ordered if I'd known any better were the "small hamburger" and the "small cheeseburger." The regular versions have two patties a piece, while the small only has one patty. One patty is all I need! Also, the "regular" french fries were by far enough for both myself and my husband, so I imagine the large must feed a family of four. We thought the food was a really good fast food option. The burgers are definitely well done, so if that bothers you, you might not like them. The toppings were good, and you can order off a long list of condiments. I really liked the fresh-cut fries. Yum! If you're looking for a new burger option in Longmont, give them a whirl. read more

I was quite satisfied with the customer service and not to mention the food was fresh and super filling. If you're hungry, really hungry this is a great place to go! read more

It's not In N Out. So those hoping for the ol' INO will still have to wait. It is a decent burger though and a better alternative to the larger chains. I'd say a pretty solid 3 1/2 stars. Is it a screaming value? No not really but it's not overly outrageous either. Ordering a hamburger, cheeseburger, baconburger, or bacon cheeseburger will get you two patties, "littles" get a single. Choice of fifteen toppings at no extra cost. The two styro cups on the menu board showing the fries sizes have little to do with the number of fries you actually get. They fill the cup and then dump a ton more in your bag. I'd skip the cajun unless you like really salty fries. The regular fresh cut fries are pretty good. I had a Bacon Burger with jalapenos (fresh slices), grilled onions, grilled mushrooms, and hot sauce. Burgers were hand formed cooked well-done, pretty tasty, the buns were a little squished and nothing special, the bacon was in pieces and there wasn't a whole bunch of it, enough 'shrooms, enough jalapenos... like I said a decent burger. Don't sweat the crowd, they had twelve employees behind the counter when we went and the wait for our burgers for 8 people didn't take too awfully long. Off times are always smarter. Don't it make you shake your head when people go to a fast food burger joint and complain about how unhealthy the food is : ) read more

Lo and hearken, 5 informal persons. For the undue approbations of your fabled victuals have ascended to the lofty heights of our ears. Hence, our judgments shall fall unto thee as the baneful predator upon unwitting prey. Your meaty machinations have come before the court of.. The Triburgnal. Upon crossing the vestibule of your house of glutinous worship we are first set upon by the feeble words of your false prophets. Hung from your halls as if the heads of conquered foes. Beckoning our favor, praying we judge you not for ourselves but through the bellies and words of mere mortals. But nay, we shall not be swayed by your unmasked propaganda. Our edicts of luncheon barked thunderously to the jailer of our yet prepared feast, exorbitant amounts of coin now having changed hands we are resolved to take our place at our table. A table soon to be transformed into a field of ruminating battle, fit for neither man nor beast. The stoically anticipated sustenance having reached fruition, ready for the ritual consumption, is not bellowed proudly, but whimpered delicately as if a child fearful of his patriarch's wrath for the wrongs committed. Our meal, garnered to us as if ever it was answerable to the whims of a kitchen peon belonging to the cult of Five Guys and not our will alone. We terry no longer, the wolves of our insatiable appetites unchained, we commit unsympathetic genocide on this meal, as three gods unsatisfied with their subjects. A burger, touted as being formed by the ingredients of our desires. As if ever you possessed the power of choice in a matter so sacred as our imbibing. The flesh of this food beast, slaughtered and prepared in our name now attempts to ply the favor of our remorseless papillae. The blessed chewings having traversed the gauntlet of mastication and being prepared to receive judgment are found satisfactory. Attention then cast upon the greatly trumpeted potato shavings slathered in the juice of the noble peanut. A shocking but fitting presentation given. The brown lifeless bag filled almost to bursting by the remnants of the once proud tubers. Soaked in sorrow and despair, they fall limp to the challenge of seducing our senses. A pox of french fries placed upon our heads our supping is complete. A meal carried to the heavens on the wings of angelic accolades, having been placed at our feet for arbitration has been judged and found wanting by The Triburgnal. Put to paper by The Triburgnal's Wizard of Scribery read more

If you are even slightly allergic to peanuts this place is a pretty risky. Not only are all the fries fried in peanut oil, but they also have open containers of peanuts so you can munch. Unlike In N Out they do have a ton of different toppings like caramelized onions and mushrooms. I was also really excited that they offer bacon!! When I went to order I first went with a bacon burger without the burger, but was corrected that it is a "veggie burger with bacon." Their fries also could have been a little more crispy, but they were made from fresh potatoes and it had a cute little sign stating where they came from. In their arsenal of fountain drinks they offer Peaks Tea. No waiter service, you order your food sit at a table and nibble peanuts until they call your number and then you grab your paper bags and sit at the table. And it is an upbeat fun place so the workers were all really cheery and the music is pretty loud. So if you're looking for a quiet place to eat and talk, this is not the right place. read more

I was swayed by the flags on Main Street and the big "Grand Opening" sign up front, and because I felt like a burger. Loved the open kitchen and the workers shouting things and the music pumping through the speakers. Also loved the complimentary peanuts. You order pretty much from scratch, adding whatever toppings you want to four "template" burgers: hamburger, cheeseburger, bacon burger, bacon cheeseburer. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger with ketchup, grilled onions, lettuce, tomato, and pickle. There was a slight wait (five minutes or so) but the food is worth waiting an hour for. I could see where people would complain about the bun, which falls apart a bit, but I don't mind a messy burger. And my burger was otherwise amazing. The portions are quite large; the number of fries (which are second only to Good Times on my list) are insane even in a "regular" portion, so there's no need to get a large. In short, heaven in a brown paper bag. read more

Not sure why a few reviewers considered this place worth one or two stars. Five Guys is exactly a burger joint, no more and no less. Service is fast and efficient and the burgers big and semi-greasy- the way they ought to be. Today was my first visit- although there were a lot of people here, I was able to place my order right away. The burgers were the perfect heart-attack in a bag sort of meal. Generously sized, well prepared....when you are in the mood for a big ol' greasy burger; this is the place to go. And the fries...the fries...where to start? They clearly started life as a potato; and have never seen a freezer. They are big, and cooked in peanut oil; as if that makes the gazillion calories from the hamburger all better. These may be the best fries I've had in a very long time, perhaps second only to the seasoned fries at Ollie's Trolley (in No.VA). Never thought I'd complain about this, but they give you a LOT of fries....we ordered two large servings, and couldn't come close to eating all of the fries (and our burgers). This is NOT Frasca...come here expecting a good burger experience, and you'll be a happy camper. If you come here expecting fine dining, you'll be sad (except maybe for the fries!). read more

I went to five guys on Main Street . As I processed my payment I accidentally skipped over the tip portion. I always tip but I was unfamiliar with payment application. Most fast food restaurants don't allow tips. My girl friend put $2 in their tip jar. I guess they didn't see it. When I got my order my fries were just dumped in the bag. The fries were not in a container . I was disappointed in their pettiness. read more

Finally, a Five Guys in Longmont! The fact it's three blocks from my house makes me want to give it one star because it is particularly dangerous. I agree with the people who have pointed out that comparing Five Guys to more upscale eateries is unfair. It's a grab-and-eat place. Their service is fast to me for a place that makes everything to order then and there without a bunch of pre-made food sitting under heat lamps. Ick. Okay, so they don't make the best burgers in the world but they are pretty darn good, especially for the price. In addition to the above average burgers I think their kosher hot dogs are dynamite. Split and cooked flat on the griddle so they are a bit drier and hot as greasy or chewy as regular hot dogs. Definitely a win. You can tell that the french fries were once a potato and the peanuts are great for me: They keep both my mouth and my hands busy while I wait for my order. read more

Atmosphere - good, fun, loud, energetic employees. Ordering - Line was long, hard to spot where it began/ended, but moved quickly. Cashier was quick, order came accurate. Food quality - Burger, meat was good, thick and juicy, lettuce was gross, bun was average. Fries - ?? I wouldn't even say they were average... Maybe it was because they were busy, I will go back again to give them another go. But mine were cold, not completely cooked in the middle. Other locations, people have mentioned in the review that Five Guys is "comparable to In-N-Out. No. Although the patties are smaller at In-N-Out - you get a full meal for less than $6. I ordered a cheeseburger, small fries and large drink at Five Guys - total was $10.38. Not exactly comparable price-wise. And lets talk about the fries....At In-N-Out - the potatoes come in whole, and are sliced in the store right before being put in the fryer. Not so at Five Guys. Not even close to comparable. So - don't go to Five Guys with an expectation of In-N-Out. The decor might make it look similar, but it isn't the same. **Edit** So I stated above that the potatoes aren't sliced in the store. I guess I was wrong about that, I apologize. I still haven't had a chance to go back and give their fries another go. read more

Really good burgers! French fries were kind of squishy and greasy. Good chocolate shake, good strawberry shake. I don't know what they did with their banana shake. It tasted like the greenest of Green bananas, or maybe they forgot to peel it. Possibly the worst shake I've ever had. Really disappointed. read more

Holy crap. They have free peanuts. How freaking awesome is that? Since we live in Colorado, I don't get to have a double-double from In n' Out without having to take a trip to Vegas, which sucks. I figure this place is the next best thing. The burgers are super wicked, and the cajun fries were pretty nommy too. And at a price that doesn't hurt. Plus they have free peanuts! read more

You promote how fresh & high quality your food is so Please Offer Real Cheddar Cheese as an option and not Only American Cheese. If I need to pay extra I would. American Cheese is All chemicals and tastes like orange muck. Also a 1- large patty burger option would be fantastic. Like at a gourmet burger joint where you can really taste the beef. They roll all the pattys in the am so it's doable. Plus real cheese...would be a hit. The fries are great and methodically homemade. I found the Cajun fries extremely salty...the regular ones were great. I hear that shakes are coming. Please make them like the real McCoy and not doctored full of chemicals. The public would love a purists make of a shake/malt :) read more

Great fries! Marginal burgers. They wrap the burgers in foil and by the time it gets to you they're luke warm. Too expensive for what you get. If you've never been there, go once, and see for yourself. I haven't been back in over a year. read more

Pro: Friendly, lots of napkins, build your own, and malt vinegar for the fries. Con: Expensive, slow, fries are thrown on top of burgers in a bag, and totally greasy. Can't understand what people see in this place. read more

This is a review only for their fries. I had some work in the area and suddenly realized I needed some fuel for the body to keep working. I stopped by at nearby chipotle and got a salad. But it was one of those cold days when you just 'need' some fries. A quick yelp search revealed that this was in the vicinity, locked on the GPS and Voila! The peanuts rock, the fresh fried cooked in peanut oil rock but the Cajun style Fries are da Bomb!! My day was made! They were soul satisfying. Now that we got that out of the way - The service was a little slow, but they were BUSY. That is a good sign. Loved it, will be back to try a real burger soon! read more

Saw the reviews and had to yelp in. According to the laws of the grill you can have two types of burgers. One that is fried in it's own juicy fatness on a flat metal grill, or two,you can have it done on a flame grill. Both can be seared to meaty goodness, depending on the grillmaster or the person holding the spatula at the time (the later seems to be prevalent at most places). Regardless, you chose your spot based on your preference right? Well I do and 5 guys is good- but the smokiness you get from a flame can't be matched and that is totally missing here. I think you know where I'm going on this subject. Yes- I'm partial to flame grilling- they remind me of summer cook outs in the park, not a flat pan on the stove. Which get's me back to 5 guys, they do have a grilled treat- it just isn't magical. You can add all the other stuff on it, but it'll can't hold up. Why do we have grills outside for cooking? Smashburger, In-and-Out, etc. all have the same flat metal grill. If that get's you goin' great, more power, but IMAO, get me a grill and a flame and I'm a happy meat eater! Oh yeah- and they don't have beer. ?! read more

I consider myself a burger connoisseur and this place is one of the best IMO. I like Good Times a lot but both the burgers and fries are quite a bit better here. I travel to CA a lot and love In-n-out and would say this is on par (slightly better actually). My favorite burgers are 1. The Counter (Park Meadows). 2. Five Guys. 3. LarkBurger (Boulder). 4. In-n-out. 5. Smash Burger (was better when it was IconBurger in Lafayette). Haven't had Firebird burgers in Boulder yet (which I heard is good) or What-a-burger (which we don't have in CO but heard good things about) read more

High quality fast food. Big burgers that are fried - I prefer grilled, but I would eat them again. The Cajun fries were AWESOME! AND HUGE!! Wife and I split a small order, and still had left overs. Personally liked Smash burger better, and I won't be going out of my way to eat here. But if I want a burger and it's either here or a McDonalds/Wendy's/Burger King, I'll go here. Specially for the fries! read more

Always have the best experiences with 5 guys. Love the app, love the peanuts, love the food and omg the shakes! Ditch the diet day to come here lol read more

Can you give this place a 5+... First found this place in Charleston and I looked up the locations and I was amazed that we have one here in Longmont. Folks on the West Coast have In-n-Out; we've got 5 Guys Burgers and Fries. They are almost equally good but 5 Guys lets you choose from a slew of toppings and they don't charge for them...nice! Sooooo I have to say 5 Guys is better. Oh, and let's not forget the tasty peanuts (no charge as well). If you enjoy a good burger, this is the place for you. They also have hot dogs but I haven't tried them. read more
