I'm in IL for work and stopped in this Five Guys for a quick lunch. I've always loved Five Guys cheeseburgers. I got what I expected. The burger was cooked right and the cheese was melted into the party perfectly. The people working their were friendly. There were only Greek employees but it was at an off time. The only negative thing I can say is my sofa tasted a lightly flat. read more

I tried it for the first time last night. Convenience. This is what most of my money went to. The fact that I didn't have to grill the patties and buy all the individual ingredients and assemble it. Don't get me wrong...the burger was delicious...but....it didn't really seem like anything unique or special. It was cool that you could have as many different toppings as you wanted. The BBQ sauce I asked for tasted very good...tasted like it had extra brown sugar. Tried the Cajun Fries...its fresh cut fries loaded with what tastes like Famous Dave's pork chop dry-rub. (totally off topic FYI- that dry rub is great on hash browns). I'd go here again but it's nothing I'd go too far outta my way for. read more

This is not your average place to pick up healthy food and feel good about your diet! Try the Chipotle Mexican Grill next door for that. This place has peanut oil french fried potatoes with or with cajun spices. The limited menu offers cheeseburgers and more cheeseburgers. They have a nice grilled hot dog for the little kids. Its time to get out of the healthy eating doldrums and strap on the feedbag. I LOVE those burgers and fries. read more

This was my first visit to a "Five Guys" - have been eager to check the place out and see what all the hoopla is about. The burger was good as fast food burgers go. Though it did remind me a bit of my first visit to a Wendy's back in 1976. Homemade taste. The fries were fair at best. A load of them - more than anybody should really eat - with fair quality... some were a little greasy. But here's what struck me the most - regular cheeseburger, regular fries, regular soda and a nearly $13 tab! I don't think so. I could have visited the Claim Company and had a better quality burger with homemade chips or fries and a drink served to me for about the same price. I don't usually complain about prices, but this place is outta hand. Maybe when they start serving Kobe beef at that price there will be value there. But definitely one of the worst values I've come across going out to eat. Four stars based on food quality (a little generous maybe), minus 1 star for poor value - 3 stars at best. read more

Freshly cooked burger, tasty fries, good selection of free toppings, free peanuts to eat while I wait for freshly made burger...pretty freaking dope. This was my second experience with Five guys and this was more enjoyable than my first. I was eating with my wife this time and that usually bumps up the enjoyment factor for me quite a bit. But on top of that, I went with a single this time as opposed to the double. I love a good big burger, but I found the single to be a more appropriate size for lunch. Part of that is because the fry order is ridiculously large. It may be pricey for some folks, but I think it's worth it. It's way above a Mcdonald's, BK type burger, so I'll be back for sure. read more

I had it today for the first time but only as take out. I might have to go back and see about the service. The burger was pretty good, I like that you get options with the toppings and they don't cost extra. I can't say there was anything super special about the burger but it was very, very tasty. I would say it had a better taste than a McDonalds or even the local fave Photo's. However, there are so many dining options in this area that I don't know if it can develop a loyal following. I got the regular fries but sampled the cajun from my husband, my taste preference was for the regular because the cajun had just too much spice. It was reminiscent of the spice they use at Red Robin. All in all it was good food. read more

Since I tried Five Guys, I've come back four times in as many weeks for my burger fix. I've not tried this chain before and I'm very glad I now have. Apart from delivering a consistently tasty burger each time, the staff here is super friendly and does a really good job at handling swarms of customers. The free peanuts 'while you wait' are a nice bonus (if you're not allergic) and help pass the time between when you order and when you eat your delicious burger. I live about 15 minutes away - and I do go here instead of some other places when I want a really good burger. read more

I went to 5 guys for my first time today! I have to say over all it was good experience! I went with my mom, we went at about 5:15 and it was just steadily busy & we were able to quickly I had a little bacon cheeseburger- this to me was a very good size burger! Between that and half an order of regular fries I was plenty full! I can't imagine ordering a burger that wasn't "Little" , but if you're really hungry (& plan on working out soon) go for it! One thing I really liked about the burger was that the bacon was very crispy and it wasn't that stupid microwavable crap most places think they're fooling you with these days! I also have to give them kudos for not charging for toppings! Feel free to load up! I have to give props to them on the fries! They remind me of the good ole days of Boardwalk fries, they were very good! They got our order out within less than 10 minutes and everything was hot n just greasy enough! :) I'd definitely go back! WARNING!: EVERYTHING IS COOKED IN PEANUT OIL & THERE ARE OPEN CONTAINERS OF PEANUTS INSIDE THE LOCATION! They warn you on the door, but the sign should be bigger! read more

burger tastes really good- fresh --given how long it takes- you know made fresh. My beef is with the prices. Two of us eating here for 28.00! Could've ate at a sit down restaurant for that. read more

The time it took and the price I paid for a basic cheeseburger and fries was not worth the end product. The fries and burger were forgettable, as they have been during two previous visits. I don't get the appeal, and I don't think its worth coming back. The peanuts were a nice touch, though; people with allergies beware. read more

I am definitely a fan. I don't go out for fast food burgers very often but this place is going to change that. $5 for a little bacon cheeseburger with all the toppings I want on it? Damn right!! Yes, the wait is long but it's worth it for the hand-formed patty that is cooked to order. The little is definitely enough for me, especially since a regular order of fries is wayyyyyyy enough for 2 people. The fact that they have peanuts, unsweetened iced tea, fry their fries in peanut oil AND can tell you what farm they got their shipment in for their potatoes is awesome. It's all of these things that blows all of the other burger chains far, far away! I wish there was a location by me. Or, maybe it's a good thing there isn't one... read more

Soo over priced you can get a way better burger for the price I mean it's not that good but then again the place is always empty Also it's below zero in there even if you wanna stay and eat you can't Lower the prices for that meat you have and turn the heat on cause down the lot you can get that same burger with fries for 4bucks Just cause you give out peanuts don't mean the little burger should be almost $6.00 read more

Little disappointed with the burgers I felt like the buns could be toasted a little bit longer. The flavor isn't really that great and I felt my burger was soggy. I think it's important how you stack the ingredients and cook the buns a little bit longer so that it's able to withstand liquid. These are not cheap burgers and I expect it to be better. There are other burger joints that are much better now. read more

Definitely not a place to frequent for a frugal person - it's about 20 bucks for a double patty burger, regular fry, and regular fountain drink. I say it's an adequate meal, food typically has a fresh quality to it and will satisfy one's hunger in a pinch - although occasionally fries may be over seasoned or mushy. Employees are respectful and orders are cooked accurately for the most part. read more

Five Guys is awesome! I definitely like to be able to see my burger being made! I get to make little suggestions to the guy while he is making it. I am sure the, "a few more onions, please" comments get annoying for the employees, but it ensures that my burger comes out just the way I like it! High quality ingredients... yummy food. I wish you could get a smaller order of fries. The copious amount of fries they give allows them to charge a lot for a regular order of fries, which sucks, because it makes going there cost at least $10 every time I go :/ BUT DON'T GET IT TWISTED! I WANT THE FRIES! THEY ARE YUMMMMMMMMMMY! The chick that works at the register is kind of a buzz kill, but I will forgive Five Guys for that since their burgers are so awesome :) read more

This chain has become a known quantity as it has grown in the Midwest, but it retains a word-of-mouth mystique that I think unreasonably inflates the expectations of first-timers -- hence some of the unfair ratings I see below. Five Guys does not do much -- burger, dog, fries and pop. But makes a reliably excellent burger (really, what other chain would you put above them?) with great peanut-oil fries in copious quantity and a really good split-grilled hot dog that my kids adore. It's head and shoulders over most burger joints in terms of quality. Can you find foodie burgers that are more exotic? Sometimes, yes. But that shouldn't put Five Guys' quality in the shade. This is leagues beyond McDonald's or Wendy's. read more

This is probably my favorite Five Guys. For some reason the shakes and burgers taste better here. I don't know if it's the cool or just environment but it's a really great place to just come and eat a good hamburger. The employees here were very friendly and they got my order (bacon cheeseburger and peanut butter shake) out fast and it was delicious. 10/10 would recommend if your in the Chicago Suburbs or just looking to get a good burger. Can't wait to come back!!! read more

My new go to "fast food" burger spot. Sorry Portillo's.... First; the Burger- Excellent on the toppings, good bun, cooked fresh to order. Sometimes I wish it was a single bigger patty instead of the double, but delish none the less. Second; the Fries- A big part of the high ranking! Fresh cut and Malt Vinegar to boot! Third; the Beverages- LOVE the new Coke machine with the crazy amounts of choices. Especially since I usually want to go caffeine free and stick with diet. Fourth; the Extras- Peanuts are a nice touch. Fifth; the Atmosphere- Clean, bright. Two slight drawbacks-one it seems EVERY table wobbles (A for consistency) and two-music is too loud. Sixth; the Value/Price A little pricey, but I enjoy this place more than Culver's and Portillo's. Though I concede Portillo's probably has the better beef when it comes to the burger, topping choices plus huge advantage in fries and massize drink selection (plus free refills) gives Five Guys a major edge. And don't even get me started on how disappointed I was with Smashburger and Fatburger. read more

This place made the most well constructed lettuce wrapped burger I've seen. Well done.

Definitely one of my favorite burger places! If you're not sure what to order, here's my usual: Bacon Burger, Mayo, American cheese, Lettuce, Ketchup, Grilled Jalapeños, and Hot Sauce. The meat is juicy while the bacon is nice and crisp. And to top it of to drink the Oreo Cookie Pieces milkshake. Enjoy! Tip: peanuts are free so if you're not allergic, get a handful! read more

Ok I was at this location today. My order came to just about $30 for very little and inedible food. Our little burgers were not cooked through and one did not have the correct ingredients on it. The fries were incredibly salty and we were not able to eat them. The hotdog was almost burnt and was suppose to have 2 ingredients on it but instead came with so much junk on it you couldn't even see the dog. The girl at the register was quick and boreding on rude. Obviously was having a bad day or does not like her job. I really want my money back. Will be calling corporate! read more

It is a small restaurant, but the food here is really good. The simple burgers I had here are what's keeping me coming back to it. I even regret that I did not find this place sooner. It is a clean place with a small space since it is not that big, but still spacious enough, I think. The staff are all very nice. They are so friendly and they give everything accurately. They have a nice menu with a variety of options, and the prices are all fair and reasonable. I only ordered a cheeseburger for my lunch and a drink. I like the fact that the service is quick and that it only takes about 15 minutes because there are some restaurants that would keep me waiting for almost half an hour for a few orders, and I am just glad that this place is different. They gave me the food after it was cooked, and nothing tastes better when the burger is fresh and hot. It was not too greasy and it was actually juicy. Everything has a nice texture, and overall, it just tastes really amazing, like it always should be. The cheeseburger alone could make me feel full and satisfied, and it was really worth the price. It tastes so good that I could say that it deserves a higher price for it considering the delicious food they have. read more

Awful. I hear people talk about this place and say that it is great. Not so. It gets one star because the employees are great. Otherwise it would not get any stars. $20 for two sodas, one regular fry, a single patty hamburger (boring and bland) and here is the best part,,,"the bacon dog." The hotdog was rubber, obviously left out for a day and two strips of bacon cooked with a flamethrower... Huge waste of time and money. Never again..disgusting. read more

Overpriced, it's a ok place for food but not for what you spend. The peanuts are a nice touch if you like them or don't have a allergy to them but other then that it's not worth it. read more

I've never been disappointed here. Nothing too fancy..just a good burger and fries joint with good service. I usually get either the little or the regular bacon cheeseburger with the works and add jalepenos. read more

I'm not a constant yelper - I feel that my opinion may be biased depending on who's working at the restaurant, or perhaps just a random occurrence. Therefore, most bad experiences, I believe, are caused by factors you cannot control. However, there are moments which you know can be preventable. Last time I went to Five Guys, I was completely disappointed. I could feel in the atmosphere that I wasn't welcome. I talked to someone, who turned out to be the manager, and felt like he didnt care to be there, nor cared to have me there (or my business). I made my order and ate there, but there were no napkins at my table. I asked the 'manager' and he simply said, you can go to that table and get some. There wasn't even a "let me get some for you" statements. The meal was very poor and service even worse. I know my less than $10 meal shouldn't be that big of an issue, but the service coupled with the quality was horrible. There are so many more options around that area; I will definitely be heading somewhere else. read more

The very well-made hand-crafted burgers are topped with some of the freshest vegetables you'll find. Along with a nice side of fries that are made from real potatoes, it's a solid meal that will fill you up. Although it can be a little pricey, you are paying for what you get. Also, who doesn't like unlimited peanuts to snack on while you wait? Personal Recommendation: Bacon Cheeseburger with everything + jalapenos, small fries. read more

Way over priced, just about fell over when I was charged 17 dollars for a burger, fry and drink. The parking lot is hard to get in and out of also. Unless you have money to burn I would avoid this place because its a complete rip off! read more

When this first opened, I was like, OMG. But the more I eat there, the more I realize you are paying a lot ($12 a person for a fast food burger, fries and drink) and you can just feel your life shorten by the amount of calories and fat. Will take Sonic or In-and-Out burger any day over Five Guys read more

Why does everyone think Five Guys has the best burgers? Steak and Shake burgers kick Five Guys' ass any day of the week. I would go here just for the fries though.... they were pretty addictive. I like to dip them in A1 sauce or malt vinegar! More than the burger itself I like that Five Guys offers these different condiments that you don't find everywhere. They are pretty pricey for just burgers and fries if you ask me... read more

If you want a fast food style cheeseburger in the area, Five Guys is a much better option than McDonald's or Billy Goats, but still maybe not better than Steak N' Shake. The burger is pretty average for a fast food burger, aside from higher quality ingredients. Sometimes the burgers are really good, but the fact that they are cooked well done leads to inconsistencies. The skin-on fresh-cut fries, however, are worth coming back for. When eaten right away, the fries are some of the best. Not quite as perfectly crisp-on-the-outside and creamy-on-the-inside as the ultra potato-y fries at Rand Red Hots, but very good. I also really appreciate the fact that they disclose their potato sourcing. read more

See all

Well I finally made my way over to Five Guys....ordered a cheeseburger, fries, and a drink....$13.00, I thought to myself, if it's really good, then that's not so bad. After waiting over 10 minutes for my order, I dove in. The burger was a big hot mess. One bite and the entire thing fell apart. Let me stress, it was a big sloppy mess. I HATE that. and it was mediocre at best. No big deal at all. Now for the french fries...they were good, but not great. There were plenty of them. Bottom line, Portillos blows this place away, and they're a whole lot cheaper! I will not be going back to Five Guys. read more

Ate there once and probably won't every again. The burger was sort of flavorless and definitely nothing to rave about and on top of that way over priced. I really don't mind paying for great tasting quality food even if its just a burger, but this place definitely doesn't have any quality food. Best burger I have ever eaten was at Goose Island Brewery in Wrigleyville and it was with brie and grilled pears. read more

The burgers and fries are five stars but the price is the reason why I give 3. The burgers are of what you can cook on your grill at home. Yes, they do not charge you extra for toppings and the amount you want to put on it but I really don't think you should have to pay so much for a burger and fries. Yes you get a giant brown bag overflowing with fries but still too much. This place is an "upscale" pricier fast food joint. read more

The place wasn't that busy considering it is Sunday afternoon. But there was only one guy working. He cooked and took the orders. We waited for over 45 minutes for two hamburgers... read more

The burger is very, very good. However, I only give this place 2 stars because the Fries are the worst I have ever had. Yes, they give you a ton...but a ton of crappy fries is not really a good thing. Also, this place is ridiculously over priced! 1 double cheeseburger, small fry, and a med Coke was almost $14. Not something I will ever have again. read more

Better not become a regular here otherwise here goes my waistline and my healthy cholesterol levels. Yet, it's tempting: a fast food joint with outstanding fries, better burgers than chains like TGI Fridays and the like at slightly cheaper prices. Only a few choices but you add the toppings you want. It takes a little longer than at a regular fast food but you can munch on complimentary peanuts while your wait. Yes the food quality is worth the wait and the price. read more

I remember getting excited when I first saw the sign for Five Guys @ Randhurst. Remember that "Inside the White House" thing on NBC with Brian Willams where President Obama walks into the Five Guys on Capitol Hill and gets food for his staff?? I figured if it's good enough for the Prez, its good enough for me. I knew we were going to hit them on the first day they opened. These burgers are good (burgers are what Five Guys are known for and they do it well) but they are hell-of messy and I'm not a fan of messy. The burger fell apart in my hands - I felt like what my 2 year old child looks like when he eats baby-food; sloppy eating surface, ketchup/mustard dripping down my hands, had to lean way forward so toppings wouldn't get all over my pants, etc. Maybe I just ordered the burger wrong or something - I got bacon, ketchup, mustard, jalapenos & grilled onions. In hindsight maybe I should've just kept it simple (less toppings?) The fries are good but don't get more than one regular order for a family - the sack of fries is ginormous. The highlight of this trip, IMHO, had to be the bacon cheese dog. I got one to share but by the time the wife and kids were done with their burger, nobody wanted a bite. This dog was reeeeeally good!! They grill it and fix it up with plenty of cheese and bacon. I know people don't go to Five Guys for the hot-dogs but they really should. Ummm - what else?? Free in-the-shell peanuts - get some to eat up while you wait for your food (don't be shy). This has to be a nightmare for people with peanut allergies but too bad for them. So that was the first day they opened and naturally they were busy. The few times I've been there since, they're still busy but at least they have free peanuts. I'm sure I should give the burgers another shot but what keeps me coming back is the bacon-cheese dog. read more

Five guys is my favorite! I am in college, but I come here every time I go home. The burgers are delicious and the fries are great as well.

Love Five Guys. Been to this location, one in NYC. This one was better. When they're crazy busy, it does take a bit longer. Worth every penny imo. It's always yummy, no matter how long it takes. I mean, I can't go here more than once every 2 months or so since just looking at the burger makes my blood vessels shudder. But they have coke zero and so many fries, I have never once finished them, even when there with 2 people. A plus in my book. And it's all super fresh. I've tried a lot of 'the best burger ever' and have always been disappointed. This one didn't. *happy sigh* highly recommend. Just be ready for the food baby you'll be carrying around for about 2 days. read more
