Five Guys is the place to go when you are looking to keep it simple and get quality basic food at an affordable price. There is NOTHING fancy about this place-- if you are up for a burger and fries (they offer hot dogs and other items as well, just haven't tried them), and don't want to make a production of it, go on their app (which works really well) to order and food will be ready in 10 minutes. Burgers are solid and offered with a variety of toppings and the fries are a very worthy accompaniment. Just writing this review is making me crave one of their burgers-- think I will place an order now!! read more

Been here even before, and I can understand the price increase, but I think they've gone too pricey and becoming a hit or miss. They became inconsistent with the flavors and service. One day burger is good, but service is bad. Next visit, service is friendly, but food is bland or burnt. Online service is a bit slow also, so I recommend coming to the place and hope you'll have the lucky day to receive both good food and service. read more

Enthusiastic staff members, especially the guy who handle the fries. I've always had a great time here and I'm always left full. They weren't mean about it when they got my order wrong. I always get my burgers all the way with no mushrooms. Keep up the great work! It's a normal five guys, there are kids and teenagers around. It's exactly how you think it'll be. The cajun fries are the best. read more

Five Guys - Burgers Near Me - Newton, Massachusetts

I find for the price the food is great. I love the hand cut fries with real potatoes out of the bag.

It's 5 guys, so you know if you know of course lol but I'm giving this spot a 5 star simply bc some people don't, and what's the point of that?! Cashier guy is classic and this shake is heavenly rn. Good location too if you're not a local, come do your thing. Also massive eating area that is always empty for you and your fries! read more

Five Guys - a plastic cup with a straw on a table - Burgers Near Me - Newton, Massachusetts

I have been to five guys 500 times all over the East Coast. Most stores are 3 1/2 stars, every once in a while you get a really good one. Good means: -They give you what you order -The food looks and tastes good -You don't have to wait forever -The place is clean Including the bathroom I know it's Covid, and I know winter is here and that is probably souring my mood, but... When I order a veggie sandwich all the way, it should come the same way the burger comes all the way, with ketchup, mustard, pickles. Today, it did not. Also the burger was very disheveled, the cheese was crumbling into pieces, and there was hardly any bacon or pepper. They were nice enough to give me a cup of pickles and mustard, so I made do. I ordered well-done fries with no salt. The first time they came with tons of salt. To their credit, they reminded me to pick up my glasses on the counter, so I said don't worry about the no salt, and they insisted on making it again, which I appreciate it, kudos to the gentleman who took my order and seems to run the place. But the second time, they forgot to make them well done. And she forgot to shake it free of oil, very gross. Stuffing 14 napkins in the bag doesn't make things better! They get all oily! They also stopped offering the coffee shake, which is the only one I like. He wanted to make sure I would come back. There's not a lot of reason for me to come back. The only way I will is if they contact me here and ask me to, assuring me they brought back the coffee shake, and they will get my order right including all of my comments above. Thanks for reading. If we are going to have to live under Fauci's and Gates' thumb, having a functional five guys in Needham Is essential. If we have to bring back Trump to get it, then let's go Brandon! read more

Dec 2022: 5: I would recommend this restaurant location and this work crew. They were keeping things together and the cashier knows her customers and is a "Shake Master".. LoL searched the nearby area for decent fast food restaurants and found that this one was fairly close, within a few minutes away. Upon arrival, I found a parking spot fairly quickly and noticed that the restaurant was facing the main street. I almost passed the access area due to night hours and construction. I entered the ramp door to the restaurant and was greeted by the cashier. She gave me a quick reference introduction to the restaurant so placing my order was a bit more accurate for me. She also gave me a few pointers on the shake I eventually settled on getting with my meal. I was served the shake and she nailed the taste I was seeking by just a few words and answers by her to understand what I wanted to have at the time. #43, I paid and moved on. I observed that the restaurant was actively being cleaned and maintained during my visit. My drink was set....now let's see if the burger is good. I received my order and noted the extra fries in the bag. It's always great to get the leftovers in the bag. It's like a surprise after finishing the others... LoL. I did try some of the condiments as well. The burger was made well as expected, but I think that I should have gotten the bigger one because it was gone way too soon. Sometimes I really enjoy sampling restaurant locations because I liked this one. read more

Went here for eat-in lunch and had regular fries, little hamburger, bacon dog, and vanilla milkshake. Food was all prepared accurately, quickly and tasted just like Five Guys always does! Milkshakes are a good size and so delicious and creamy! Store and bathrooms were both clean. Had tables blocked off appropriately for COVID. read more

It's usually pretty clean in here. Nice people working here. The burgers are good. The fries are always moderately full of grease. I had my first unfortunate experience. I want to cheeseburger to go all the way and fries. The bread of the cheeseburger with sopping wet. The fries have been made in old oil. The fries in the pictures all have a lighter shade. The fries I ordered were dark brown. I hope this was just a one off. I'll keep you updated read more

Five Guys - Burgers Near Me - Newton, Massachusetts

BURGER SCORE: 8 5 Guys has one of the best overall tasting burgers for your money in the greater Boston area. Great Food, Prices are on point for the area. Five Guys is clean, Staff is friendly, and efficient. The food here is a much higher quality than typical fast food burger places. Your burger can get pricey depending on what you get on it. average $9 - $13 range. Other area burger choices are MacDonald's & B.Good. But Five guys I think is the best choice for this area. NOTE: Wheelchair users need to bring help for there is no Power Door here.. Sad & irritating because it's a newer business to the area. That's it, nothing more or less Just great burgers. read more

Always good service. Always fresh. But now (April 2023) a hamburger is $8.69. For a burger worth $4.50 at most. It is no longer worth it to go here, despite the fries which are great. read more

The food is really good but the service is terrible. My friend and I waited first in line for 10 minutes before leaving without anyone taking our order. Moreover, we waited 15 minutes just to get a small fry on another occasion. We tried getting the attention of employees both times but no one responded to us. read more

There was an issue with my order so I went back and I thought they will just make me another hamburger. Instead they offered me another hamburger with anything on top for free in addition to the first one . The food was great but the costumer services was better. read more

This is a brand spanking new location so it still like a shiny new penny. I am glad this opened because the closest ones to me are kind of far. If you have been to a Five Guys, this is not different. It is a good burger and fries - fast and efficient. This location has the drink machine my kids like that mixes all kind of flavor variations. One thing diiffernt with this one - they have shakes. The shakes are very thick but they use fresh ingrediants and you can tell. My son got a cherry that he could not finish, so lucky me I got to try it. I don't even like cherry and this was a really flavorful. My only issues and it is no fault of their own but this location is on Needham Street and the traffic going in or coming out will be a nightmare. read more

Food was great, young lady who helped me with my order was very nice. Thanks for handling my order so smoothly and quickly and not sacrificing on quality or taste. Milk shake was super yummy read more

Probably a 3.5 but giving a 4 instead of 3. Food took quite a long time... And things were forgotten or not listened to when we ordered...but the location is great and very new and clean. Food and shakes were good and fresh but service just wasn't great. Love the outdoor seating and that the burgers and shakes are just so yummy. read more

Five Guys - Burgers Near Me - Newton, Massachusetts

I would give zero stars if I could. I ordered online an hour before arriving at Five Guys, because I thought that would give ample time to prepare my order. Upon walking up to the pick up counter, multiple employees kept asking me for my name and order confirmation, and each time I pulled up my phone to show the email confirmation of the online order I placed. According to the employee, she said that their computer did not see my order. I confirmed with her that I placed the order to the correct Five Guys location at the right date and time, and that the money already left my credit card. After asking me about my name again, she gave me a barely working pen and a piece of paper bag and told me to write down my long order by hand. I've ordered food for pick up so many times before, but this is the first time where I had to hand write a long order with all the toppings in the burgers. While I was confirming with this female employee that they did not indeed have my order and that there were no other way to pull up my order details other than me handwriting my order, a young female employee yelled at me as if it's my fault that their computer is malfunctioning. I did not expect to be yelled at when I just came to pick up my online order. Five Guys needs to retrain these employees on how to properly resolve situations like this where it was their fault that their computer did not register my order instead of yelling at a customer and telling the customer to write their order by hand. Moreover, I also had a lot of hard time understanding the employees due to their accent, which made the situation even more stressful. After they got my order on their paper bag, I had to wait another 10 minutes for my order that should have been ready when I walked in. This is pointless if I still have to wait for an online order I placed 1 HOUR before arriving to pick up. I am very dissatisfied with the service at this Newton branch and will never come back to order from this place and will let others know to not go to this place. read more

Incredibly slow service. It took 20min to get one burger and fries. They had 4 people working and said they were understaffed. The guys who worked there were nice but for a fast food place you need to get food done fast read more

Is it safe to say there's been an explosion of "upscale" burger joints the past ten years? I guess the actual term is "gourmet fast food." Places like Chipotle, Shake Shack, Otto Pizza, Jimmy John's, even Wahlburgers.... seek to "upscale" the fast food genre. Five Guys is no exception. Originally from Virginia, this chain has been franchised hot-and-heavy the past few years. Their service and performance is admirable, and their burgers are always tasty. To the concept and execution and overall deliciousness of Five Guys, I'd give it 4 or 5 stars. But this particular location gets only 3. It happens to be particularly about food handling and cleanliness. More often than not the dining area feels a bit dirty. And the fry vats put off copious amounts of steam/smoke/oils, even into the dining area ( the casualty of an open-concept kitchen). While they keep their work areas visually clean, I noticed a food-handling no-no: the burger gal, wearing the same gloves through the entire process - flipped patties, grabbed the raw patty container, placed patties on the griddle, put the container back in the fridge, used the patty presser to press them down flat, then added cheese to other burger patties before they were placed onto their respective pre-planned buns. Do you get that? While *maybe* you can touch certain equipment (I don't know the public health care policy regarding this), touching cheese that never reaches a high (safe) temp to kill raw meat bacteria with the same gloves you just handled raw meat with moments earlier certainly cannot be a good thing. Until the franchisee gets the correct food handling policies across to all employees, I can only recommend this particular location with strong caution. Otherwise, I love Five Guys, I really truly do! read more

tastes better than mcd's and bk and they have hot dogs. Service is decent and burgers are made to order, just watch them! Cleanliness is a bit shotty...you have to pick you table wisely. But I usually get the burger to go. The most recent time I went burgers were great...but the fries...oh myy was there a lot of salt. I literally poured the salt out of the bag and there was a spoonful! I will definitly ask for my fries without salt in the future, don't really need it anyways. I also love their 100 flavors soda machine. It's the only time I can get lime soda NOT diet. yasssssss read more

burgers are too pricey. it's easy to buy hamburger and fry it up and put it on bread. so i used to just order their tasty fries, the only reasonably priced item on the menu. but they caught on and raised the price of fries. so i havent been there since. read more

Do I have to say any more? My favorite burger place now open 3 minutes from my work? Does it get any better than this? No. My salesperson at Bloomingdale's should write them a 5 star review as well since my expanding waistline will lead to new clothing purchases! read more

The manager on tonight's shift is great at problem solving. The food is great, got ne. Thanks again.

When it comes to burgers, I feel like Shake Shack and In and Out are always the first places to get discussed, but everyone, I mean everyone is out here sleeping on Five Guys. Five Guys is definitely my favorite burger chain. The vibe of the place is awesome because they have signs all over the walls with what people have said about the chain in the past, and there are buckets of peanuts all over the place, so you never go hungry while waiting in line. I guess that might be the one downfall of the place as well; DO NOT go here if you have a peanut allergy. The food, on the other hand, is always fantastic, and I have never had a bad experience. You can add as many toppings as you would like free of charge, so you can keep things simple with maybe some ketchup, mustard, and bacon like I do or really jazz it up. The fries are awesome. They are hand cut, and they sure do taste like it. Oh and did I mention the milkshakes. You can mix as many flavors as you want! My favorite creation is the oreo cherry...so delicious! I love this place and would totally recommend it to anyone! read more

Awesome food!! Fast, friendly service!! I usually get a triple-decker cheeseburger with grilled onions and pickles and it always hits the spot! The have awesome fries and shakes too! read more

One of the worst places to grab a quick bite from, they don't acknowledge what a customer wants instead keep talking among them selves ignoring the needs of customers read more

Placed a phone-in order here one night, and the person taking my order was extremely rude. I asked for swiss cheese on a burger and instead of politely telling me that they didn't have that kind of cheese the girl on the phone cut me off mid-sentence and bluntly said "We don't have that." She was doing a lot of snapping and sighing and it was an overall uncomfortable experience. This place only gets one star because I like the food. I think the management needs to take a better look at the employees attitudes. read more

We ate here many times ins its first couple of years. But when we tried to eat here the last few times we have walked out because it is dirty, dirty, dirty. This past time we walked in to find a half-empty place with dirty tables and a puddle of milk in the middle of the floor. There were more workers than customers and they were oblivious. We walked out. Someone is NOT PAYING ATTENTION to managing this location. read more

Zero stars. Took forever to get my food; took it home to eat and found a long, long white hair (from someone's beard perhaps?) half in my mouth mid bite. Since I have long brown hair definitely sure this is NOT mine. read more

I've been waiting over 10 minutes for my burger even though the place is empty, so this review does not address the food. The heat seems not to be working, garbage is overflowing, floors and tables dirty - this place needs a better manager. read more

Great burgers and fries. Impressive list of free toppings allow you to customize your burger how you like it. Try the Cajun fries - they're awesome. Also offer shakes (with the option of adding bacon!) although haven't tried these. read more

This is one of the best Five Guys locations I have been to. The service is great, they always greet you with a smile and are very friendly. The food is as good as any Five Guys, and I happen to be a huge fan! The burgers are always made to order and the toppings are fresh and delicious. I always order the bacon cheeseburger with pickles and onions. One of my favorite parts of Five Guys is that all their burgers are available bunless! While most places give you the crazy eyes, I like that they not only welcome it but advertise it. This location in particular is super clean. read more

Had a basic cheeseburger the other day-all kids, early college age, summer job types. Cheeseburger rang in at a shade under 10 bucks with no additional toppings. I mean it was ok, fresh, maybe i'm not up to speed with inflation costs, transportation, etc. but a ten buck cheese burger seems obscene to this old schooler. Have been to other 5 guys before and was similarly underwhelmed and overcharged. I just don't get the appeal. Haven't been to shake shack, in and out or HABIT in Wilmington. Had been to Wu burger Woburn years ago and i recall it was decent, but still don't get the appeal of paying more than is warranted for a burger. The BEST burgers i ever have are ALWAYS what i customize at home with grass fed beef. If i'm in a pinch or a hurry, i am more than satisfied with a Wendy's or even a quarter pounder for okay quality. Ideally, no burger should cost more than 5 or 6 bucks unless it's ultra gourmet. read more

This store fails as a Five Guys! The food as always is good but, where this site falls short of other Five Guys in the area are things like: We rarely see anyone cleaning on our side of the counter. You pick the least dirty of the available tables. In most of the ways that a Five Guys is "dependable", this store is NOT. Corporate would not be happy with this store and its only been two months!!! Damaged image. Happy to drive 20mins south to another Five Guys. read more

This is a great Five Guys. They are pretty quick and the food is always good. I love Five Guys because you can choose everything that goes on your burger and you get double the fries that you order. This location is no exception. And the new milkshakes are so delicious! Given the choice between this Five Guys and the Chestnut Hill Shake Shack, I would absolutely go here. read more

These guys have no idea what they are doing here. Want to watch 3 guys and two girls stare at condiments and not know what to do come here. Been here 30 min waiting. Worst five guys I've been to for sure and I have lived in 5 states. read more

This is a great Five Guys. They work very efficiently to prepare your order quickly, even with a line out the door. I would give 5-stars, but the Five Guys palate taste is less than exceptional. More flavorful burgers can be had elsewhere. That being said, this is one of the best Five Guys I've been to. read more
