one of the few burger places i've been to that lives up to its name. this thing is my ideal burger - greasy, thin patty, unlimited free toppings, and yummy potato bun (i think..). the standard size is a DOUBLE patty/ having feasted on pad thai earlier in the day i opted for the mini burger (which is really just a regular burger). went a bit crazy with pickles, onions, mushrooms etc. and added some malt vinegar for good measure. one of the best burgers i've ever had. plus there's free refills on drinks, a bar upstairs you can bring your food to (or you can bring your cup upstairs, have them put beer or something in it then bring it back down, GENIUS), free peanuts (those with nut allergies stay away), and genuinely nice people. while cleaning the floor, one of the workers asked us how we liked our burgers and seemed a lot happier than most chain restaurant/fast food employees. i can definitely see why they've been so successful! read more

Five Guys - mini burger - Burgers Near Me - New York, New York

(This is a burger-only review until I get back to try the Cajun fries.) These Guys have a good rep, whether they're from NYC or not (they're from DC as I was reminded), as one of the better burger places in the city. Up against Rub (my champion), Corner Bistro, Shake Shack, Paul's, and Black Iron Burger Shop in my recent burger conquests, this place is a solid competitor. The short: good burgers, cooked only the way they like them. I can understand why people want control over the cookage, especially since these guys are gonna torch em well done, but tis ok. These burgs be well done and still maintain the juicy, like the sign says. I did a mini-burger with cheese. Mini is still 3.5 ounces, and over 500 cal with the cheese according to the sign, so it'll do -- but you can do a 'regular' burger with two patties if that's your jam. All the toppings other than cheese and bacon are free. I did mine with grilled onions an mustard, a good simple mix with the cheese. The burger had a nice crust on it, and it contrasted nicely with the soft melted cheese. The bun was a bit fluffier than I expected and was also not of the potato variety that I've had so often lately, in my own kitchen especially. The onions were slightly caramelized and the mustard yellow. There you have it. Can't customize the meat but customize the flavor with toppings from grilled mushrooms to pickles to A1 steak sauce. Not a bad deal for less than 6 bucks including tax. Or do a regular burger with two 3.5 ounce patties for a couple bucks more. read more

Came in here in the middle of SantaCon - craziness times five! The cheeseburger was delicious but the fries needed salt. They were handing out free water, which was fantabulous. Bonus points for that. Very generous portions both of the burger and fries. And free peanuts. read more

Wow....just thinking back about this place is making my mouth water... What can I say. You have the ability to build your own burger which is built to perfection. I had the bacon cheeseburger with grilled onions and a bag of well seasoned fries...mmmmmm. Yup, I said a bag of fries. You will not be disapointed!! read more

This place was absolutely delicious. I had never heard of this chain before but Chelsea J. had and she had been talking about it for a while. If you read my reviews, you'll notice that I am indeed a huge fan of finding the perfect burger. I won't say that this place beats out something like say, PAUL'S BURGER JOINT!!!!!, but it was still very very very tasty. The prices were comparable to something like Paul's. I think for a burger, fries and a soda I paid around $10 and change. So maybe a little cheaper actually. But their system is great. You order what kind of burger you want and then you can add whatever toppings you choose from their menu (and they don't charge per item either). The fries were really good but be warned: they cook them in peanut oil. Unfortunately for those with peanut allergies, this place isn't for you. On top of how they cook the fries, they also have giant barrels of peanuts in the restaurant. You just fill up bowls with peanuts. I did not participate in this part of the place, but needless to say, there are peanuts everywhere. My two problems with this place are the following: 1) The staff wasn't very nice. Our cashier was a nice young girl, but the people calling out order numbers and giving us our food were obnoxiously loud and annoying. 2) Be warned going there for the first time that what they call a 'small' cheeseburger is a cheeseburger and 'regular' cheeseburger is a double cheeseburger. Yeah, I learned that the hard way. But anyway, I would totally go back to this place because the burger was absolutely delicious and I loved their cajun fries too. read more

I don't understand why people hype this place so much as being the best. It was kinda mediocre and disappointed me. It's not a bad burger it just left a lot to be desired. Also, this is fast food and shouldn't cost $12 for a burger, fries and a drink. I know this is Manhattan, but that's no excuse. Where are the milkshakes??? You can't have a burger joint and not serve milkshakes. That's just plain sacrilegious! On top of all that, this place is the biggest In-n-Out ripoff I've ever seen. Come on, they even have the red and white checkered tile. People that like this place prove that New Yorkers know nothing about good burgers. Just stick to the things you do best, like pizza... read more

Delivery is the way to my heart. Five Guys is fine for hangover food, but it's nothing to go out of your way for. If you end up going in make sure to grab some peanuts to hold you over. read more

Five Guys - Double - Burgers Near Me - New York, New York

Seriously? What is there not to like? 1 Burger... 2 All the toppings in the world at your disposal... dare you to get them all 3 Bar upstairs that they deliver your food to... 4 Blue Moon... 5... the reason it's not there... they closed the bar at 10pm... balderdash read more

My little cheeseburger definitely packed a punch. Great medium well patty with grilled onions, grilled mushrooms, jalapeno pepppers, mayo, lettuce, two generous slices of tomatos, and a slice of amazingly melted chedder cheese. I'm drooling a little just writing this ... read more

Think Fatburger instead of In and Out if you're from the left coast. I had the little bacon chee with grilled onions, grilled shrooms, and mayo. Delicious. Fries are okay, nothing too special. They have Coke Zero on tap as well, thought was interesting. I know Obama likes this place but more importantly, I do. So try it. read more

Had worse, but had a lot better. I think Shake Shack is a lot better. Another good place is Goodburger. Also 5 Guys can't compare to In n Out. Hamburgers are small for the price they charge. Only thing I really liked was the mushrooms I added at no charge and the steak sauce. Fries are good but greasy. read more

Five Guys - Five Guys on Bleecker in the West Village - Burgers Near Me - New York, New York

Disgusting place with dirty tables and overflowing garbage cans. The burgers are DRY and TASTELESS. The bacon is BURNT and also DRY. Waste of money . Waste of time waiting in line. Will never ever be back. If you want a good burger try Smash burger or shake shack. I thought this place would be on the same level as those guys but boy was I wrong (doesn't even close). Total disappointment. Thumbs wayyyy down !!! read more

Burgers and fries from Five Guys is just amazing. I love cheeseburgers and they make it just right. If you are on a budget and just are getting home from a late night at the bar this place is sure to hit the spot. The delivery is fast as well. I like that fact that they do not charge extra for the toppings on the burger like most places do. I think a deluxe including the fries cost around 7.00 dollars. read more

I had the bacon burger with lettuce, tomato, bbq and hot sauce with fries. The burger was perfect. Tasted great, and I was a little apprehensive about getting hot sauce on it afraid that they were going to drown the burger in it but instead it just added a good spice to the already great burger. The lettuce and tomato tasted fresh and this place could have gotten a 5 star review if it wasn't for the fries. The fries were soggy and undercooked and I need my fries crispy. I was thinking of even dropping the review down to a 3 star, but i went there for the burger not the fries. So next time I'm getting the burger (and maybe a jr one too?!) no fries. read more

Second time @ this franchise, first at this location. Somehow, the burger was not as good as I remembered :( It was a bit too charcoal-ly tasting and dry (despite all the oil sizzling out). This joint is much roomier and comfy. The bathroom is clean clean! There's an upstairs bar of sorts. PS: never try to cut a burger in half and pick it up without the wrapper. It makes a huge mess. read more

I like Five Guys Burgers. Yes, sir. The service was fast and the burger was tasty. The cooks in the back were singing and doing faux-Southern Baptist impressions and preaching the good word of Five Guys spicy fries. I had tickets to a show the night I was there, and I genuinely considered not going to I could continue watching those clowns goof around while making tasties. read more

Rich was by far the best cashier I've ever had at a Five Guys Franchise. He knew the answer to every annoying question I had and handled it calm, cool, collected. Rich deserves a raise!!! read more

Same quality fries and peanuts as at other locations, but they don't really handle rushes well. read more

Five Guys - Burgers Near Me - New York, New York

See all

This is a typical five guys. The good food makes up for the lack of cleanliness and mediocre service. Even though the place is not up to what I would call decent standards I sill go for the food. I would still recommend going here and eating. read more

I went here on my way back to rehearsal one cold night in the village and it reminded me of those old burger joints I always see in upstate NY. The fries were nothing to write home about, but the burgers were up there. As close to " In and Out " as you can get on the East coast. A cheeseburger, fries and small drink came out to $13... I guess thats what happens in the village. My suggestion, get 2 burgers and an unlimited small soda. Good drunk joint too. read more

Let's see what I should say about this place. Delicious? Yes Filling? Yup Expensive? Uh huh The toppings are abundant, whatever you want. I had BBQ sauce, tomato, lettuce, grilled onions. So good. The bacon is a bit overdone. Buns are nice, not much to say about them. The burger, the meat is juicy and sooo good. There isn't much to say that hasn't been said by everyone else already. It's a good burger place, one I would go to again but it is pretty pricey. read more

Never order a delivery for from them... I order to delivery they fuckup my order and then when I called grubhub to get it straight now they said that they'd rather refund me then send me the correct order! Fuck all the way off! read more

Very good burgers, even though they're a bit pricy. The fries are the best I ever had, eating out: cut and baked on location - fresh and organic. The employees are really kind! Also, free soda refills! It's also important to say that Five Guys is almost a mirror of In-n-out on the west coast. They basically recreated the family franchise that in-n-out has. Not sure if that's of any significance to most folks, but it's good to know. read more

Its quite possible I enjoy Five Guys too much. Every Five Guys establishment I've been to has been clean and orderly. My food remained exquisite as well. There are two choices of fries: cajun (which I usually succumb to choosing) or regular. The cajun has more of an "Old Bay" flavor. Service has always been pretty speedy. This is the Chipotle of burgers, people! That was a loaded statement, I'm sure. I stand by it. read more

Great staff. They are all super friendly and happy. I ordered a Little Cheeseburger all the way and Regular Cajun fries. It used to be that when you ordered regular fries, the bag would be full of fries. It would be so full you almost couldn't finish. This time though, the cup my fries came it was barely full. What a disappointment. read more

This night crew are the most rude, unprofessional and disrespectful I've ever encountered at a five guys.

So there's a good chance I'll be the first person to review Five Guys having never eaten there (and to make things even more inappropriate -- I'm also a vegetarian). But let me tell you, they have the most addictively delicious (or is it deliciously addictive?) Diet Coke I've ever tasted. I realize that's quite a bold statement, especially coming from a self-diagnosed addict such as myself (I've considered the 12 steps, but everyone deserves to have a vice, right?). But for serious, it's crazy delicious, as in, McDonalds' crack-infused DC and perfect width straws pale in comparison. I promise I'll someday try the food -- the fries do look pretty damn delicious. But until then, I am more than satisfied with my (wayyy too frequent) 32 ounces of perfection in a plastic cup. read more

I am a fan once in a while. The burgers are fresh and juicy. I like mine all the way plus hot sauce. Fries are nice too. The kids working there look a bit tired especially on a Friday night - but do serve you fine. No complaints there. Had a burger yesterday. Was so juicy! read more

I read Rachel's review and couldn't more accurate. If you want excellent tasting fast food - come here. It couldn't be any higher than 3 stars because you have to compare it to restaurants. Slightly unfair but it is the best. Get the bacon burger you won't be disappointed. Tonnes of fries as well which is exactly what you want! read more

I love ketchup. I douse my eggs, fried rice, burgers, hot dogs... anything I can with it! But the patties at this burger joint are so juicy and flavorful that I totally forgot about my favorite condiment. 'Nuff said. read more

2.5 stars (0.5 star for the fresh toppings) Came here with a coworker because he liked this place a lot. (Coworker hasn't tried Shake Shack or other better hamburger joints.) This place, like 99% of hyped-up burger joints, suffers from one major problem: FLAVORLESS BEEF PATTIES. Like Anna M. had wrote, it's not anything close to Shake Shack. This beef patty is flavorless. It's not hard to add some salt and pepper. Granted, the complimentary fresh toppings are nice but I'm buying a burger, not a salad. I ordered the "Hamburger" as opposed to the "Little Hamburger" thinking that the Little Hamburger was a miniature burger like White Castles. Well, the Little Hamburger is not that little: it's a burger with one patty as opposed to the two patties found on the Hamburger. I think it's a bit misleading. It makes you want to go for the Hamburger because you don't want to feel shortchanged. The Little Hamburger is $4.xx while the Hamburger is $6.xx. Mine came w/o cheese (b/c you can't truly taste the meat when there's melted cheese masking the beef), grilled onions, ketchup, mustard, and pickles. The veggies were surprisingly fresh. If it weren't for their freshess, this place would've garnered only two stars. I also had fries. Their fries are supposedly cut fresh from whole potatoes. They are very good and are unlike most fries that are made from processed potatoes. I think this place tries to be like the famous In-N-Out from California with the fresh condiments and fresh-cut fries. There's nothing wrong with copying something that works. But Five Guys falls short. In-N-Out tastes better due to their secret sauce and toasted buns. The meat may taste a little better as well. A burger, fries, and soda @ In-N-Out is around $5.00. Five Guys is more like $10.00. I wish an In-N-Out was available here but I don't think it's going to happen since they are a private company unwilling to franchise. I guess they don't want their name to be tarnished by amateurs in the East Coast. Shout out to the West Side!!! read more

What's not to like about 5 Guys? Especially at this location where they're fast, fast, fast. At my old apartment at 55th, I was lucky enough (my waistline notsomuch) to live a few doors down to NY's first 5G location. Even when I was the only one in there and they had about 50 peeps behind the counter, it would still take at least 20 min to get my burger. I was very pleasantly surprised by this location because Miriam and I were in and out in less than 10 min and all during the lunchtime rush. Choose your own toppings on a juicy burger and hand cut cajun fries without breaking the bank? Seriously, like I said above, what's not to like??? read more

For a burger chain, it gets it right. Fries are never frozen, simple menu keeps the other ingredients fresh and flavorful. Music selection has something for everyone but isn't cloying or annoying. Fresh roasted peanuts take the edge off the hunger while your burgers are assembled. Juicy burgers in hand you know why you are there and why you should come back. read more

The best in the city! It was slamming!!!! This Five Guys have the same flavor of the original store. Meaning they haven't lost their touch. Any other I have been too are tasteless and not so good. They also have a bar on top, I haven't been but my husband mentioned it's cool. read more

yes yes yes I found a Five Guys in New York. I chose the cheese burger, instead of a bun I had the burger wrapped in lettuce (healthy huh?), I got a medium fries and a coke. It was so good, it was cheap, it was fast, it was fresh, it was tasty. When you wait you can have some free californian peanuts.. or refill your drink. the staff are friendly.. yum! read more

After moving to NY from LA, I was just craving In-N-Out. I finally found a replacement. The west coast has In-N-Out, we have Five Guys. I'll take it! Yeah, the wait is longer than, say, McDonalds, but I only waited about 10 or so minutes. Come on people, what do you expect when they cook your burgers as you order? The french fries are fresh and you have an option to dip them in Malt Vinegar - more stars are docked for that one! I like my fries on the slightly crisp more soft side, so if you like them extra crispy you probably won't like them - I'm thinking this really depends who's cooking them that day. I had the little cheeseburger and found it on the regular size - I can't imagine how much bigger the burgers "sans little" look. Give them a try, but don't expect a large menu and burgers sitting under a heat lamp. read more

i dig it. any chain that can produce fresh, well cooked burgers like this deserves my praise. it's a classic style "hamburger sandwich" in that it's partly about the beef but the accoutrement make it or break it. the bun is soft enough...although anything other than a potato bun anymore just falls a little short for me. the cheese was melted perfectly. shredded lettuce is always a bonus and the tomatoes were solid. as for the beef...i personally am a HUGE fan of the smash technique. but done without proper training and experience can result in dry, brittle patties. that can happen here sometimes. but for the most part, and at a place that doesn't take temperature requests, the beef survives quite well. the fries were fresh cut... a little greasy but i'm a fatass so that's really just fine by me. it's really 3.5 stars sidebar: once some guy on the other side of the restaurant ate his entire meal with a fucking 2 foot long parrot on his shoulder. it was gross and fascinating and douchey all at once. read more

I'm a Five Guys fan, but now that they have a brand new one on 14th St, this one needs some serious upgrades. The burgers and fries were fine, but the service is not as good as 14th St. Also, they don't have the new soda machines where you can mix and match flavors. It was 72 degrees outside when we walked in, and the temperature was stifling inside. It's just a lot dirtier and older than the new one. They need a remodel asap. read more

Burgers here is not so delicious, I tried 3 times. And after this burgers my stomachs feel heavy. Is good u can choose whatever they will add like constructor but not so good. Of course nice burger but not for me:)better choose ShakeShack read more

So I was brought here by a friend who insinuated that it's better than In N Out. Well... the fries are definitely better. The burger was good, but a bit too much bun to meat ratio. Also, In N Out has the special sauce. Close, but no cigar! Still very good tho. :) read more
