I decided to give Five Guys another try, only because my friends were on their way and told me to meet them there. We hit the lunch rush when we arrived, and the place was packed with a ton of extremely loud, obnoxious high school kids. It was absolutely atrocious, and I was dreading having to stand in line surrounded by a bunch of ditzy high school girls talking abnormally loud and saying "like" and "whatever" after every other word. Thankfully, the young lady at the register was extremely quick and we were at the front of the line in no time. I ordered the exact same thing as the first time I went - a Cheeseburger with Grilled Mushrooms and Lettuce, but this time I went without the BBQ sauce. I also ordered a large order of Cajun-style fries instead of the regular fries I had the first time, and a medium soda. A week prior, I was already craving Mellow Yellow from Five Guys, but didn't have an excuse to go back until today. Naturally, I filled my cup with Mellow Yellow and we all sat down to wait for our order. After about 10 minutes (surprisingly fast for how many people were in there), our orders were called. We brought our food back to our table, and I slowly unwrapped my burger and went to take my first bite. The burger was NOTHING like the first time. It actually had some flavor to it and was pretty decent. I was impressed after being so sadly disappointed my very first time. The Cajun-style fries were AMAZING, and I would probably rate them 3.5 stars instead of 3 if they eliminated the regular fries from their menu. Overall, this experience has completely changed my stand on Five Guys. It's still not one of my top picks, but I would definitely go again if there were a lack of a better option. read more

Our whole family is a fan of the new Five Guys Burger and Fries in Concord, we have been there many times, App order works perfectly although we still have to wait a while when we get there. A couple of times the orders were a bit mixed up but we still go back. The prices of the burgers are very affordable, the kids love the state of the art soda fountain. The floors are dirty sometimes and I think they need a bit extra care. read more

It's not the best burger in the world but it's pretty good. He always gets his burger loaded with tons of things, I on the other hand just get mustard lettuce and pickle. If I don't feel like getting a burger I get a plain hot dog, and to me I feel that the dogs are better than the burgers!! Maybe it's the way that they split the wiener in half and cook it on the flat top that gives it a crunchy crust?!?! It's really, really delicious! This place gets pretty packed, and be prepared to wait! Also, finding a table can be a pain sometimes. We usually just take ours to go. read more

My new "go-to" for Burgers. While it's not the best burger I ever ate, it's pretty good for a chain. You get two burger patties with a big burger, one with the small. The toppings are numerous and it's kind of hard to decide. I got "everything" which was pretty good. The fries are good also. It's not a "Fabulous" place. I'm not going to get all crazy saying it's the best. However, it's pretty good. A wierd Amalgum of say "Wendy's and In and out" one interesting feature is the "All you can eat" peanuts. I didn't want any, but if you like peanuts, this is the place. What the hell, bring your Elephant withyou and let them go to town! They also have Hotdogs (Good ones with a grilled dog) Grilled Cheese and BLT's. You can get a veggie patty also, and with the toppings that would be pretty good. read more

This place has the best burger and fries.. You are asked bunch of questions while ordering, but the end product (deliciously delicious and juicy burger) makes it worth answering all those questions. I had the bacon cheeseburger and fries and my taste buds are still thanking me.. read more

Burgers are great and huge. Next time I'll order the little burger. I especially like that there are so many "toppings" including bacon, grilled onions, grilled mushrooms AT NO ETRA CHARGE!!! I liked the fries and they a plentiful. Ordered my food to go and was supprised the fries were still hot when i got home 5 minutes later. Definatley going back. read more

These are the best burgers by far. I have been going to Five Guys in Pleasant Hill since they opened. The staff have always been friendly and courteous. Earlier last year I visited the restaurant for some take-out for my family. After a brief conversation with one of the proprietors regarding Hockey and the San Jose Sharks game that evening, it then came time for me to pay. He wouldn't accept my money. He is an old school business owner I met that night, and he bought my meal... The flavor of their outstanding hand made burgers, coupled with the friendly environment continues to receive an A+ rating from me. Craig Pleasant Hill read more

I come here mainly for their fries, that's it. The price for burgers and fries are to high for my liking. So I would only come here if I really was desperate for a fry fix. The burgers are really good, but not $8-10 worth. They should hand out coupons or something, I live down the street so the connivence is nice. read more

I haven't seen more disgusting burger and fries. The fries look like they were prepared and consumed for a second or third time and burger was simply put uneatable. read more

Love five guys. Pretty simple. Make it how you want, as much or as little as you want and they don't make it till you order it. Don't sleep on their fries either. read more

Literally the best BLT I've ever eaten!! Soft, fresh bread, lotssss of crispy bacon and tomatoes with crispy lettuce. Grilled cheese was thick and our toddler enjoyed it. Bacon cheeseburger for was juicy and very good. Expensive but worth it! The young man who took our order was friendly and helpful! There were no clean tables when we went looking, so after noticing nobody was coming to clean them, I took wipes out of my bag and cleaned up all the peanuts and threw away all the dirty napkins. read more

Let me start by saying the burgers are amazingly delicious, you have a whole array of toppings to choose from for free - the standards and then some. The fries are good and extremely generous. The small is larger than a large anywhere. I would rate any other 5 guys I have been to at a 3 or 4. This particular 5 Guys is so S.L.O.W it is pathetic. I have been there a few times at night and it has been 20 minutes to get one burger. This is with NO line. I am sure they will get their act together at some point soon, but until then: Best Burger on Monument - great burgers, good fries, awesome shakes! If you are in a rush to get to the movies, don't go to 5 Guys until they nail down the execution. read more

Grease, grease, and more grease. OK, the burger was pretty tasty, and the fries were OK, but definitely not worth the sickly stomach revulsion for the rest of the day. Just way too much grease. Gotta pass on 5 Guys. The thought is turning my stomach. read more

Great place for burgers in downtown Pleasant Hill. An alternative to INO. Concept is similar but there are differences between 5 Guys and INO. Considering you're paying $10+ for burger/fries/drink, you get your money's worth with the fries you get. Place can be busy depending on day/time. You will either love or hate this place. read more

I actually really like five guys burgers the only thing I don't like is the fact that they often get my order wrong. Like they would write it down correctly but give me the wrong thing. I ordered a bacon burger with no cheese and they gave me cheese. What if I was allergic to dairy. What would he tell me I'm sorry? read more

Just way to much money for what you get. A small bacon burger fries and a milk shake $15 bucks .*.Ill go to In and Out thank you

I actually enjoyed five guys more than in-n-out, opposed to what a lot say. A little more expensive but worth it. regular orders come with double patty and you can get any of their 20 or so toppings for free. small side note: free peanuts in boxes for those who want to snack read more

Great to grab a quick burger before, after or between movies since it is just across the street from Theater. I had the cheeseburger with everything, which was juicy and delicious, only very hard to take a bite, so big. I loved it, messy is the best, who wants a dry tasteless burger. Very casual but love the old fashioned diner style. Frys tasty but OMG we each ordered a small fry, and had enough fries to feed an army. A bit wasteful since we couldn't even finish 1/2 of them. Restrooms were clean and handy for washing my juicy hands and face after (-: j read more

My friends had read that the burgers and fries were supposed to be great here. The burger that I ordered was almost tasteless in spite of the sauteed mushrooms and other toppings. The fries weren't even remotely crispy, and were greasy. I've had much better burgers at: In & Out, Carl's Jr., Nations, Hamburger Habit, etc. I took one bite and went to the manager to get my money back. He was willing to refund the price of the burger, but not the fries. My first visit to 5 guys will also be my last. read more

Gosh I can't find a reason why people actually eat this food. I went to this location in particular a couple of weeks ago with a big group of friends from DVC. Moving onto the most important topic is the food. I ordered my burger with tomato, lettuce, BBQ sauce and a couple of other toppings with fries. After a 10 minute wait, I was hungry at the time and I was hoping for a good meal. Now here's where the parting of ways from Five Guys began. About halfway through my meal, I feel that after indulging the burger and fries with the soda, I felt like crap. The burger with everything that I added onto it tasted totally bland. The fries themselves (to me) tasted nearly like eating a pack of salt, they're that bad. Even halfway through the meal, I didn't want to force myself at all to eat everything because I'd feel more sick from eating a burger from a national food chain store than is very high in calories. I don't know why Five Guys even have those gimmicky signs of theirs that convince customers that the burgers are great tasting or the best whatever. This is a marketing FAILURE! I will never attend to a Five Guys anywhere ever again because I wouldn't even know how anyone would want to eat there more than once a week, month, year, or ever. I wish I could give a 0/5 because I never eaten something so salty and fatty that would make me sick in the stomach... read more

This is my go to when I'm craving a burger and fries. I love that you can customize your burger and the cajun fries are the best. Plus, there are as many bag fries as there are in the cup. read more

This place is ok. I don't see why its compared to in and out, you can choose from a lot more toppings here. I definitely cant get bacon or mushrooms at in and out or a grilled hot dog, witch by the way is my favorite thing here!!! the fries aren't bad either!! it is a tad bit pricey for what you get in my opinion but not ridiculously like allot of rumors Ive heard!! Oh ya a lil tip if you want a normal single burger order off the mini menu otherwise the regular is a double patty burger you would think it would state that.. read more

Five Guys - Burgers Near Me - Pleasant Hill, California

We were beyond offended by the dirtiness of this place! We could say the same of their Alameda location. Our last trip to this chain. Period. No tables were cleaned, debris all over the floor, piles of ice in the coke machine, and bags of frozen fries stacked up in the middle of the restaurant. Trash bins overflowing. Ptomaine, anyone? And slow slow slow service even though all personnel were working hard. Super disappointing! read more

After hearing about Five Guys from east coast friends and even while I was in Hawaii, it was all over the news because they were getting one soon... I was excited to hear that there was one close to home! We waited a few weeks after it opened because we always have bad experiences with newly opened restaurants. We came in on a Saturday afternoon and the line was out the door! The line to order wasn't too bad but there is about a 15 minute wait before getting your food because everything is made to order. I love that you can put whatever toppings you want without any extra charges... i went for the Little Bacon Cheeseburger "All the way" which was basically lettuce, mayo, mustard, ketchup, mushrooms, and pickles. It ended up being a big burger but very tasty. The little burger only has one patty versus the regular which as two, which I think is a little too much meat! The burger was cooked a great medium rare. I wasn't a fan of the fries though because I don't like burnt crispy fries and I'm not a fan of cajun seasoning. I know there is a lot of comparison between Five Guys and In n Out but I think they are different in their own little ways. I like both for different reasons. read more

See all

The best burger I've had! I get it with mushrooms and extra jalapenos. I love the burgers. The meat is juicy (probably not so great for you), the fries are made with real potatoes, and the service is great. Watch out In-n-Out, five guys is taking over the West coast! read more

this place use to be a favorite it had been years, i am 6 months pregnant and this place gave me THE WORST food poisoning ever!! was in and out of the hospital and i am so lucky to be ok i will NEVER eat here again i hope health inspection sees you guys soon! please try harder to serve safe food to the public! read more

I hadn't had a burger, yet alone from a "fast food" place, in quite some time. I didn't have much time in this case before my movie at the nearby theater so I thought that this Five Guys would be an okay option. I was right, "okay" being the key word. They did take longer than I'd like so it's not really like a fast food place. Also, the burger just lacked flavor, which I guess is consistent with a fast food place. read more

3.5 stars. Disclaimer: I'm not big on burgers. Yes, In N Out is better because their menu is simple, ingredients are fresh and you can't beat the price. Their simple bacon cheeseburger is $8. You can add extras like mustard, lettuce, onions, A-1 sauce (yes!) Etc. For free. A little better than average, but food is super greasy and their work stations are dirty and a mess. read more

Dear In-N-Out, Wow, this is really awkward. I know you have noticed that I haven't been around at all this past week, and I'm sorry...I really am. Since I moved to the Bay Area 2 1/2 years ago, we have had some really good times, but I was lying when I told you I wasn't thinking of another burger each time I spent a meal with you. First off, it's not you, it's me...Five Guys is from the East Coast and I never thought she would come out here to be with me. No, I haven't done anything like this before, and yes, I did cheat on you. And yes, I liked it and I don't regret it. I was driving by and spotted her and I had to go in. It wasn't her fault, I take full responsibility! Five Guys has bacon, and it's always crispy. You just aren't that type of girl and you never even tried putting it on for me, even though you know it would make me happy. I'm not looking for the plain, girl next door...I want a wild one, and Five Guys makes me feel special. She is spicy with her cajun fries and she doesn't just wear a paper wrapper. She is in shinny foil, letting the anticipation of taking it off get my mouth watering. She isn't flat and she has the curves that you never did. C'mon, don't be like that, I'm just telling you how I feel. Let's be honest...she is way more stacked than you. Your double-double just can't compete with hers. I know it is shallow and mean to say, but I'm a patty-man, plain and simple. She also gives me peanuts to eat while I wait for her to get all dressed up and get herself to my table. What do you give me? Look, it's not you...it's me. I thought I was happy and I led you on, I can see that now. For that I'm truly sorry. I know I introduced you to all my friends back East when they came to visit. Yes, my parents both loved you and wanted to see you again, but they just want me to be happy so they support my decision. I agreed with all of my friends out here about how good you were, but I am realizing now that I was never truly happy and always had eyes for someone else. You have all your cute "secret ordering" lingo and it's a lot of fun. Unfortunately for you, there is no secret word to use when I order you that gets me a burger and fries as good as Five Guys. So, this is farewell and good bye. You won't be seeing me anymore after this email, so don't even look at me when I drive by. I'm a one burger guy, and Five Guys is my girl. Goodbye In-N-Out, and welcome to California Five Guys...I missed you oh so much and I'll be seeing you again very soon. Sincerely, Mike read more

Phenomenal burger. I ate their last night for the first time with my gf, i never knew it was there but heard on the radio how it had gotten "best fast food burger" so tried it out. This now is my favorite place, the burger was BIG, for $5. Lettuce and Tomatoes were super fresh. Better than In n Out Burger, which that is saying alot. The workers were super nice and great energy too read more

This place may taste better than say Burger King but for the price it should taste at least 10 times better.$6.49 for a burger that is the same quality as Burger King.i think I'll skip 5 guys in the future. Not worth it at all. Very overhyped and a disappointment. Skip it read more

I finally got to try this for the first time last week and I am HOOKED. The burger was so good. I don't know what it was about it, but it was very flavorful. The bun was awesome. I'm assuming they bake them there. I also ordered the cajun fries that were also really good. I've never liked In-N-Out so Five Guys totally dominants. Though Nation's on the other hand, I feel that Nation's and Five Guys are tied in my book. YUM! read more

This location was formerly a Fat Burger and now its a Five Guys. I came here for lunch and had a Cheese burger and a beverage. I specifically ask that my order not be placed in a bag because Five Guys is environmentally unfriendly by serving EVERYTHING in a paper bag even if the order is for dine in. Dont get me wrong, the food is delicious however its so environmentally irresponsible of 5 guys to serve all their order with paper bags. read more

How can I forget to write a review on this place... I'll keep this short and simple.. I enjoyed this place and the burgers soo much that I went the next day, in the morning to get another one and I was so tempted to go back a few hours later...But I got strict on myself and put my foot down then I got mad at myself for doing that.. Bottomline: The best burger I ever had! Better than In & Out, Burgermeister, Pearls, Nations, Carls Jr, McDonalds, BK, Jack in the Box...no joke! read more

The burger was pretty good, I just don't see the 5 Guys Burgers and the In -n-Out comparison. Their burgers are not even similar. If your going to taste test try a 5 Guys vs Nation's you'll get a better comparison. They burger was a bit pricier, but that's ok because you're paying for good quality burger. I liked the fact they had two kinds of fries. The Standard and the Cajun (iF I remember correctly) I would go back for sure. Like I said I enjoyed it. It tops, any of the so called burger joints. (McDonalds, Burger King, Wendy's etc) If you're an In - N- Out fan don't go in there thinking it's going to be the same, it's not. This is just my opinion. :) read more

I eat burgers at least once a week. A burger is a very interesting meal because it can be fast food cheap or a good quality gourmet. I still really like Fuddruckers, In N Out, and Nations as well. What makes this place different is that its fast, the fries are excellent, its extremely clean, and the service and staff are very friendly. All of these qualities deserve 5 stars. I hope that they do well and they get the support of all the local customers. There is no drive thru so there is a lot of competition because In N Out is opening up and will be by the Freeway to get all that drive thru traffic. One more thing is that this place is better than In N Out for the simple fact that they have many many toppings to put on your burger, even bbq sauce! So they've found a nice niche here and hope they stick to it! read more

Duh, it's good. What do you expect? Most places only have one guy. This one has five. They tell each other what is the smartest thing to do to make the cheeseburgers as good as possible. I give it a star for each guy. Michelin stars. The first time the fries were too damn salty. But I think they fired the old salt guy and got a new one because the next time I went the fries were fine. Get the spicy fries. I don't even care about fries. The burger is the thing that matters. Get the burger. read more

So I gave Five Guys a shot for lunch... And then I gave them another shot... for dinner! Excellent burgers and fries! read more

Went here for the first time with a college classmate and I was not disappointed at all. Cajun fries are the most addicting as well as delicious. The burger is the best I have had in a long time. Dare I say better than nations? Better than In n out? Why yes! It's better than both those places. Just a regular burger joint with very tasty burgers and addicting fries. read more
