A bunch of clowns goofing around no wonder every single burger was built WRONG they mixed up everyone's order by putting the wrong tops on the wrong burger like it was a funny joke or something. We scraped everything off and ate the food we were not going to spend 30 more minutes by going back and have these clowns try and fix it. Called the manager when we were done and explained everything to him . He said bring your receipt back and I will refund you. Drove back to the five guys and was told I need the food to give you a refund. JOSE you are a real ASSCLOWN Woke up this morning to one of the employees messaging me back on Yelp how wrong I WAS Just spoke to the five guys hotline and told them my story. Will update on this read more

The food is the same as other locations - solid - but the volume of the music in the restaurant is intrusive to say the least. When you ask them to turn it down they are unwilling. Even if you are the only one in the restaurant. At dinner time. Trust me, nobody goes to 5 Guys - or ANY restaurant or coffee shop - for the music. Especially not the same tired classic rock at volume 11. How about listening to the feedback of actual customers? read more

Went here for the second time last weekend and had another great experience! If you were to compare Five Guys to another fast food establishment it would be In n Out for the quality and freshness of the ingredients. Everything is fresh and made to order. The kitchen is open to the rest of the restaurant so you can see them making everything, and the restaurant itself is always super clean as well. Five guys is a "build your own burger" concept where you choose one or two patties (or grilled cheese or veggies!) and add any and all toppings for FREE!!! Lettuce, Onion, Pickles, Relish, Condiments, Sauces etc. are all free to add to your burger! Yay! I love how they aren't already pre-made and I have to ask them to "remove this" or "instead of". They have hot dogs too, but I've never heard anything about them, or seen anyone order them. They also have fries (thick cut) in regular or Cajun seasoning. I like the Cajun because it adds more flavor to the basic fry, but on the other hand it does add a lot of salt. Also the sizes for their fries are HUGE. We ordered a "regular" for three people and couldn't even come close to finishing it! Get a regular if you have 4+ people or you will have a ton leftover. The texture and flavor of the fries is OK, definitely have had better. They aren't very crispy, mostly soggy. Boo. Prices are good, more expensive than In n Out or McDonalds, but I think the quality warrants the slightly higher prices. We spent $25 for three people. They do have free peanuts to snack on... We have come here twice on Friday nights and it is never busy or crowded which is nice. I like going here occasionally for a change, but In n Out remains at the top of my list! read more

So tried this Five Guys. This was my first time in -- I ordered the regular cheeseburger and little fries. Fries came out too brown with a slight burn flavor. Was told by the cashier "that's how their fries are." That may be true, but they're a little to brown for my taste. What happened next was ridiculous. The Hispanic female cook was so mad that I was returning the fries. She and the cashier were talking about me in Spanish then went to get the manager! Once the manager arrived I asked what is the problem? I don't like the well done fries. They taste almost burned. Why is your cook mad? This is a restaurant not her home kitchen. The manager was very nice, but the fries are just too well done for my taste so I got a refund. She said she would speak to her staff about the unprofessional behavior. It was mostly the cook though. I know some Spanish and I know she said some rude shit, but I wasn't for sure what she said or she would've got cussed out! How are you that mad about some fries?? The burger wasn't great either so I won't be back! read more

The first time I went to a Five Guys, for some reason I was not impressed. But now I know it is because I ordered the wrong kind of burger! Pregnant and craving, my husband took me here and I ordered almost everything from the top line of condiments and bbq sauce. (The last time I only got a few things on my burger) And, boy, it made a difference! Still pregnant and been there a few more times and I always come away from there a happy round woman. The cajun fries have ALWAYS been a favorite of mine too. read more

Went to get a burger for my son. Said they'd put some American cheese to make the burger extra juicy. Got the burger. No cheese and the patty was over-cooked and dry. Should've gone to Nations... read more

I like that they have burgers and hotdogs. However, I hate that both are so good that when I couldn't decide whether to have a burger or hotdog, I end up having both! Shame on me! In my defense, I skipped the fries :) read more

I ordered my food over the phone and was told when I arrived that they had not started my food over concerns that I was allergic to sesame seeds, if she had done this over the phone I could've made a decision of spending my money at five guys I could've went to Jack-in-the-Box or in an out. I'm upset that it took 30 minutes for my food to be prepared and that once it was prepared I was not told until I asked about it. Update when I got home to eat my order was wrong I have enclosed photos and the receipt and tomorrow I will call management my food was cold and they made the order wrong and they cheated me out of the fries, this was not a positive experience. read more

Ordered online last night. 2 burgers and fries for pickup at 7:45. Got there at 7:45 and was told the food would be ready in a minute. While waiting 15 MINUTES, the room filled up with other folks waiting. I watched some guy come in, order, and walk out with his food. Where is my food?? Food was finally ready and I asked for ketchup. The girl calling out orders said she needed ketchup, and another girl disappeared in the back. She emerged what seemed like 5 minutes later and I watched her move at a glacial pace across the kitchen with the box of ketchup packets. Finally got out of there. The fries were more soggy then fresh - completely inedible. And I've never had a burger so completely flavorless. This was the one only time I'll eat at a Five Guys. read more

I first discovered Five Guys ironically in New York. I really liked the food and once we returned to the East Bay I looked for a local spot. We have tried this spot several times; usually they mess up one of the three orders we place but we have gotten accustomed to this and know to check the order. I was on my way home from SFO...called to see if I could place an order in advance. The young lady that answered the phone did not know the answer...I could hear her asking her two colleagues who did not know either. Given their track record I opted to just wait until I got there. While waiting in line to place an order the young lady started talking on her cell phone while the customer in front of me was trying to place an order. I placed my order and noticed there were two cooks; one that seemed to be a lead cook and the other appeared to be new. The "lead cook" received a call on his cell phone and left the newer cook by himself and went in back. I received my order and checked it. True to form...they had messed up the order. I brought the order back to the new cook and tried to explain to him that the order included bacon. His English skills were limited and after his female colleague tried as well he understood. He then opened the one hot dog and placed two slices of bacon on the hot dog and wrapped it back up. I have since called Five Guys customer service and emailed them as well....no response from local management. The Five Guys 800 customer service employee agreed that this was not the service they expect to deliver. I would say this...if you don't mind having to check your order each time and the employees having little or no regard for customer service this is your place. I am truly bummed because I really like their food; will check for another Five Guys in my area. 09/22/2017 Update: Must be a glutton for punishment....coming back from the airport the family really wanted Five Guys again. Placed an order for three dogs and one burger. The order took exactly 30 minutes to receive it. When we did receive it...true to form...one of the hot dogs was wrong...this time on the cheese dog they forgot the cheese. Good news is they had more staff....not sure how they missed the order since it was on my receipt and their printed receipt. No one was on their cell phone...another plus. The positives were that the food tasted good... negatives....for me I just know it will be a long wait and I anticipate returning one item each time. read more

Interesting, that Yelp is posting the negative reviews on the first page. Why are my positive reviews going into the Filtered Reviews?. Had the hotdog today; The hot dog was split and grilled. Yummy - just the right size. Nothing soggy here. I did not feel stuffed like I have been before with their huge "little" hamburgers. Oh yeah, even though a previous poster stated she felt "drugged", it could have been because she ate too much..... the food is that good...... Still a line out to the door when we arrived at 1p, but that's OK, That means the food is good and people want to try out the new hamburger joint. I noticed one child there that was trying to eat this huge hamburger. It would be good, corporate if you are reading this, to offer child-size hamburgers for those little hands. read more

Always love the food. But when we came in tonight, the music was blasting and a gangster rap song came on, with all kinds of cursing words and n* word. I'm not okay with songs like this playing while I'm eating in public. Whatever the workers liked to listen, please be courteous that this is a public place. read more

Best burgers around! I love me a good burger, always have and probably always will. I love em so much that I order them whenever I can, even at restaurants known for other foods. About a year ago I saw the viral video of the songified 5 guys review on YouTube. It was hilarious! It also peeked my interest. Recently found out there was a 5 guys in Pinole which wasn't too far from my house. Came here, had the bacon cheeseburger w/bbq sauce and all I can say is WOW! It is my favorite burger place now! If you haven't tried it, do yourself a favor and try one of their burgers. read more

Five Guys - Burgers Near Me - Pinole, California

I don't know why it says that the business hours are from 11 to 10pm. If by 9:30pm they start to clean the fryer and don't take any order that use the fryer. They should update the business hours from 11-9:30pm. read more

Don't waste your time go to In-N-Out. So I decided to go to Five Guys, I haven't been there in a couple of years since they opened. Back then they were good but now that's a different story. I made an order online and sure enough it was made completely wrong. I ordered a little bacon cheeseburger with mostly all the toppings. When I open the burger inside there was only the burger patty, mayonnaise and lettuce. Seriously where was the other toppings. It's not like they were busy and may have forgot or got confused with another order, I was the only person there. The employees are just lazy or dumb. read more

So disappointing! I love 5 guys but had my only bad experience here. Burger was great, but they burned the fries and still served them. Opened up my bag when I got home and had a bag full of burned fries. They knew that when they gave them to me. Bad customer service. Bummer. read more

Love the burgers and fries. Staff was friendly. Restroom was clean. Music was way too loud.

I generally enjoy 5 Guys but this location has declined Food quality and service has declined. Burnt fries. Disinterested employees. Lots of customers not wearing masks. No enforcement. Won't be back anytime soon. read more

They play around in there. Nobody ever picks up the phone. When they do they put you on hold and never come back to the phone. The lady today named Alicia from store in Pinole, Ca on 8/10/21 at 12pm picked up after I called 10 times and put me on hold. Then while I can hear her taking 5 orders in front of me. Comes back to the phone and hangs it up!!! Terrible service read more

Man you guys cant never do an order the correct way the customer asks for, you guys basically do what you guys want, i ask for bacon, no bacon is there, i ask for well done crispy fries you guys give me soggy fries its only been a couple times maybe 3 that i got my order correct and i still keep coming hoping for my order to be correct, dont get me wrong the food is good i just dont know whats up with the cooks or the guy taking the order read more

The free peanuts are the only thing those people know how to do right. The burger wasn't worth it and the fries have a type of seasoning on it that was disgusting my friends say that they're known for their seasoned fries but honestly all it's known for it to me is to end up in a napkin after chewing it a few times. read more

Five Guys could've been amazing...they came so close to being a go-to, premium burger. I stopped going to Five Guys because they only ever cook their burgers well done. I'm sure it's done that way for misguided liability reasons, but the truth is that pretty much ANY burger joint will cook your meat the way you want it - medium, medium rare, etc. Ask any chef - people who like their meat well done don't know anything about meat and are essentially destroying it. Five Guys' site claims their burgers are made "well done and juicy!", which is an oxymoron if I ever saw one. No thanks. read more

Its pricey. But food was good and never seen 5 guys not to hate on women working because women are some real workers! Men dnt like to work i guess. read more

After having a bad experience a year ago I decided to give them another try. Ordered online like last time. Came in at the time they said it would be ready. asked for my order. They said it wasn't ready yet. Waited 10 min, decided to ask again. SMH!!! It was ready the whole time, sitting. Cold fries and warm hot dog. Guess who wont be returning!! This was the second and last time I will go to five guys in Pinole.. read more

Very good burgers, variety of toppings to choose from, Cajun fries are amazing. Good place when your not feeling that same old fast food fair.... read more

Came in on 9/27/17 in the evening... the only reason I make it a point to state the date is that the excellent service alone compelled me to leave this review. The gentleman at the register was courteous and friendly to a fault. Greeted us with a genuine smile, and said "yes ma'am" after each item I ordered (even though I can't be more than a few years older than him.) SO POLITE. Burgers are consistently good and the Cajun fries are amazing. But if I am being honest the service is what will keep me coming back. This guy took service with a smile to another level. read more

I don't really like fast food burgers due to the mystery meat factor but when I want fast food this is my only option due to it being open after 9pm. In my opinion these are the best burgers I can find aside from a proper restaurant gourmet option. The meat is less mysterious and the aftertaste doesn't leave me with vague nausea. read more

We always come here in the evenings and the place is clean, the food is fresh and the staff is amazing. Thank you for everyone that works here. We have had an excelent experience every time. read more

I was starving and ladies working took care of me. Gave recommendations on toppings and talked me through the menu. Food was exactly what I needed. read more

Good service and good food. I'd go back for the burgers and hot dogs. I feel like the burgers have gotten smaller over the years.

We returned here today and they messed up my order. I ordered a burger with bacon and it was missing the bacon. When I went back up to the counter, the lady just handed over some bacon on a napkin. I said that I want the bacon in the burger, not on the side and she got angry and gave me attitude. Not a customer service choice I would make at all. What if I was picking up the take out burger for someone else? Did Five Guys really expect me to use my hands and put the bacon in the other person's burger? Sheesh. The prices here are really quite high also. $12.50 for a single burger with bacon, a drink and order of fries is a bit too high, even if the burger is pretty good, which it was. Also, part of good customer service is educating your customers on your offerings. Instead of doing this, Five Guys acts evasive-when you order a burger and fries, they sell you a double burger and large fries. They should inform you of their sizes and ask you what you would like. UPDATE-I already spoke to someone named Ira from Five Guys corporate, prior to the owner comment below. He did nothing to remedy the issue other than apologizing and telling me Five Guys is not supposed to take a burger back to the kitchen area from a customer due to sanitary reasons. But this is exactly what they did. read more

I have eaten at the Five Guys in Pleasant Hill a few times and liked it, so I was excited when this location opened near my house, but then puzzled when I started seeing the negative reviews on yelp. Well I finally got around to eating here last night and I can see why... Walk in and right then I should have figured there was a reason that there was no line and only a handful of customers at dinner time. First thing I noticed is prices had gone up, but I figure oh well food costs have gone up everywhere and I don't mind paying a lil more for a good meal. We ordered 2 bacon cheese burgers all the way, a large fry to share and 2 small drinks. Our order total was just under $28. Go to sit down and while there are plenty of open tables, not too many clean ones. Garbage cans overflowing, whole dining area was pretty messy in fact. Go to get my drink and have to navigate around the large pool of standing liquid on the floor in front of the drink machines. But hey, at least they had a caution sign. Servers behind the counter were friendly enough but I only saw 3 people working, maybe too understaffed to take care of the dining area. We sit down and eat some of the free peanuts while waiting for our food. Get our meals and rip open the brown paper bag. The burgers aren't huge but are a decent size. Still not really what you'd expect for an $8 burger, even if they do come with 2 patties on them. They do give you a nice amount of fries, but they were a bit soggy and limp for me. They weren't horrible I just prefer crisper fries. Ok here is the moment of truth. I can forgive everything else if you deliver on a great tasting burger. I bite into my burger and am instantly disappointed. When eating at the Pleasant Hill FG's I remember thinking how I could taste the quality of the beef they used. Not here, the patties were over cooked, luke warm like they had been sitting and seemed to have a greasy taste to them. The cheese on my bacon cheese burger was just thrown on there, it was cold and not even melted. Grilled mushrooms, not so grilled, flavorless and couldn't even tell they were there (I actually opened the bun to look). The bacon...over cooked to the point that it was all broken up. It was like eating bacon bits on a burger and just tasted bad. Management needs to take a serious look at this location. Best thing I can say about my visit is the peanuts were good. I won't be back. read more

After all the hype that I've heard about Five Guys and their burgers, I decided to give it a try for the first time today. Sadly, I was disappointed. 2 Cheeseburgers, 2 Reg Drinks, 1 Lg Fry......$24. Really? For Jack N The Box quality food? No way... The burgers were tasty, but by after 2-3 bites, it was completely falling apart with all the crap they put on it. I'm not one to complain about extra toppings but I am one to complain about burgers just falling apart in your hands. By the end of my burger I was scooping the extra toppings that dropped off into the tin foil they wrap the burger in with whatever was left of my bun. The fries were gross, soggy and very salty. The customer service was fine...I didn't really interact with anyone other than the person taking my order. Clean facility. Needless to say I don't think I'll ever go back. Give me Nations over this junk any day. read more

I was excited about having a 5 guys opening so close to home. My experience trying it for the first time was awful. The burger was gross. Soggy, sloppy, and greasy. Before you go off and think, "hey it's a cheeseburger, it's suppose to have some grease"... Umm no! As I took a bite, grease was leaking out of the burger forming a puddle on the foil wrapper it came in. The fries were too salty and soggy. That was my first experience. Now, because I didn't learn my lesson. I tried it one more time thinking maybe it was a off day. I was once again disappointed. Same thing happened. My burger looked and tasted disgusting. My daughter got a hot dog. I tried that, and I was the cheapest tasting hot dog ive ever eaten. I could have went to the store and bought ball park hotdogs for less. The only good that came out of this was the lady who took my order, she was great. :) ...but I will NEVER come here again. read more

This is the newly opened Burger joint, they have free roasted peanuts wow! and they are good! The hotdog is just okay, they're fried, you need to eat it right away or the bread will became soggy. Their Fries is very good freshly made great seasoning, the burger is so good you can tell its real real beef, the quality is superb, i lie putting mustard on my burger and it screams! in flavor. I like the ambiance, the music is just okay. The atmosphere is like in & out burger. I hope they will improve the hotdog, i love hotdogs. The place is packed, people are coming nonstop. Amazing their ventilation is very good, no grease smell. My Overall experience is very good. read more

I have heard nothing but awesome things about Five Guys and how great the fries were...ahh, not so much in my opinion. Loved the peanuts and unfortunately I found that to be the only real appetizing thing. We stopped here on the way home from San Francisco thinking I could get a veggie burger and fries and the boyfriend could get a burger of his liking as well. I was very disappointed with their veggie burger and what it consists of....nothing but sautéed vegetables that I am sure were previously frozen. Seriously, how hard is it to offer a Boca burger? I have no interest in going back to this restaurant again. read more

Compared to other burger places, especially In-n-out, I strongly dislike Five guys. -No combos: expensive to have everything -Pricy -no water, they sell bottled water or soda The cheese inside my burger didn't melt, the tomato was icy cold, mushroom and lettuce didn't taste fresh nor tasty. One thing I like: the fries (they are really fresh potatoes) read more

I loved my "Five Guys" burger when I had it in Walnut Creek. For some reason this place did not live up to my previous experience. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger with grilled onions and ketchup. (I pretty much kept it bare) (I wish they had an option for a fried egg or avocado!) With that burger , an order of large fries. I was not too familiar with the fry sizes so I had to ask how large they were. The cashier told me it was enough to feed 3-4 people.. With my appetite it was probably only enough for me. But I didn't want to kill my workout earlier with a couple more thousand calories .. Cuz ya know.. I needs ta be fit. Hahaha. Fast forward to grabbing my food. I looked inside and holy shizzzzznits. They skimped so much on the fries. Really?! 3-4 people??! And the fries were soggy! But the burger was pretty good. Crispy bacon, melted cheese, and a juicy hamburger patty. No lie, the first bite I did take . I smiled. #fattiesunite -minus one star for getting my hopes up -minus one star for soggy fries 2 bacon cheese burgers One cheeseburger Large fries 2 large drinks -36$ read more

Over-hyped and over-priced. I wanted to like this place, and maybe my expectations were too high, but when you can get a better meal at In-and-Out for less than half the price of what you'll pay here, it was easy to be disappointed. Sure, they'll slather on all the condiments "at no extra charge" but there really is nothing free when you consider that their burgers are expensive to begin with. Well the peanuts are free and the fries are at least the equal of In-and-Out but the burger is more like Wendy's (ugh!), greasy from the griddle and sort of gray. I won't be back, which is not what I expected after reading about how sucessful this chain has become. read more

Man I really used to like this place. Well not this place but the franchise but it's amazing how a few people can ruin a franchise for you. This place has messed up our orders for the last time!! This is one of the most expensive "chain" burgers in town and although tasty, they can not get your order right. The last 3 times they have screwed up our orders. That's it! I've come to believe they are willingly messing up the orders. Even though this used to be my go to spot for my burger fix- no more! Il just wait in the In and Out drive thru line. TO THE OWNER OF THIS FRANCHISE- spend more time here! Train your people and for goodness sake hire people that care (more importantly fire people that don't care). read more
