Ugh, I think I've turned into one of those people. That type of person that bites into a burger and unconsciously has to compare said burger to In-N-Outs. Please forgive me. But In-N-Out is the one to beat in this town and I have to agree that I prefer In-N-Out's animal style above Five Guy's. That's not to say that Five Guy's was even close to terrible, or deserving of 1 star like other people on here seem to think. The burger was just ok; the free added toppings were a nice touch. The menu has the option of "little burgers" too, but know that the little burgers are actually normal-sized; they just have one patty compared to two in the regular burger. The little cheeseburger is $4.29 compared to a cheeseburger w. two patties for $5.79. The fries were delicious though. They weren't as crispy as I normally like it, but they were still thick, salty deliciousness. I would come back for those next time. They give you a lot of fries, which I would expect considering a large costs $4.99. They also offer cajun style fries. Oh and free peanuts to munch on while you wait for your food. As for parking/location, yeah.....I think other people's reviews pretty much have that covered. Decor is simple, staff is friendly, and it didn't take long to get the food. I also appreciate that the place employs quite a few people. But let's face it, Five Guy's might be knocking on the west coast's door, but being as they are on In-N-Out's turf, they might need to do more about the price to get an answer back. read more

See all

I've eaten here a few times. I want to like it but have never had a good burger. The pattie never has a sear and the cheese is placed on cold. The fries are good but i expect more out of a $10 burger. read more

I feel like I should be more loyal to Five Guys since I'm from Nashville, TN and I like to see Eastern companies make it out West (fingers crossed for Chik-Fil-A and maybe even Cracker Barrel some day!) But let's be real here... A. Parking.... I shouldn't even bring this up since it's what EVERYBODY is talking about, building here is like giving the obese kid at scout camp the top bunk... it's funny to watch if you're already settled, but in the end we all know it's a bad idea. 2. Five guys tastes pretty darn good, but it's more expensive than it should be which considering the majority of its business will come from poor students comparing it to His Majesty the Almighty In-N-Out, I'm curious to see how it works out. C. Tonight I ate there with girlfriend and two of our female friends, and the poor girls were SHIVERING the entire time. The cold air was on (at 8pm in January) and we finally had to complain and asked them to turn the cold air down. They did.... for about 10 minutes, then when it came back on we had to leave because the girls were freezing. I understand you want us to eat and leave... but don't make it FEEL like you want us gone, or you may not get us back. So the summary is that yes, it's tasty, but you have to pay for it, and if I wanted to sit and relax and take my time with some friends, I'd rather sit at In And Out, whereas at Five Guys, I feel like they just want me in and out. read more

I tried this place out because I had heard all the hype and what not. Some even said it was better than In N Out. After hearing that, I had to give it a try. I wondered if it could top the best burgers in the world. John's Char Burger in Livermore Ca. see my review. So I came, not expecting it to top Johns. I thought it must be good to be daring enough to be next door to In N Out. The music was rather loud. I get its a burger joint...still....too loud. Maybe I am getting old. They give options, the large burger with two patties, or the small burger with one. You get to pick what condiments you want on it. All are free. I ordered the small cheeseburger, and asked for the smallest fries they had. They gave me this huge bag of fries...and buried at the bottom was the burger. I tore the bag open to get the burger out. The burger? Not too impressed. It was just like any outdoor BBQ hamburger I make myself. The fries...not too good. The smallest fries could have fed 4 adults. So I guess the hype is all about the portions?? I prefer quality over quantity. Its better than McDonalds but not even as close as good as In N Out. I don't think I'll make a point to go back to this one. read more

First thought. Pricey. Just a hamburger is $5.39! By itself. Not like they are gourmet, it's fast food. I ordered the BLT. the ingredients were fresh but the bacon gross! Was super crispy with a kinda burnt flavor. So crispy it was turning to sand in my mouth. The fries were the best part. They were ok. I don't like that they don't have a combo special all wrapped up in one price. Everything is a la cart. I wouldn't go out of the way when you have in & out right down the road that's is more affordable and better. Or the habit which is right down the road cheaper and better. Sorry five guys. No five stars for me read more

This burger was off the hook good. I got mine with everything plus jalapenos+++ Awesome. I can honestly say that it brought back some good childhood memories of when I was a kid and we would hit a local diner for a burger. Cook loved us and would load them up, any way we wanted. A tear came to my eye as I bit into that burger, from Five Guys, and a trip down memory lane that I have forgot about came back to me. Best burgers in town!!! My daughter liked hers too, but she is boring, Ketchup only. read more

Ever since we moved to our new location on Dana Dr we eat here 1 to 3 times a week. I stopped eating bread and I get my hamburgers protein style and it's a perfect burger easy to eat they give you way more fries than you should eat great value friendly staff good flavor good music and really good neighbors thanks 5guys! read more

Five Guys - Burgers Near Me - Redding, California

Why doesn't Yelp have 1/2 stars? My 'All the Way' or everything 'Little' burger with cheese was de-lish. I would prefer my grilled onion be in rings rather than pieces and why don't these chains use cheddar cheese instead of mystery American cheese. Otherwise, yummo burger. Fries were o.k. ;my dining companion thought they were great. Kind of an In and Out wanna be, but you get what you pay for. (usually......lol). A nice cold beer would have hit the spot...........too bad they don't serve it.'-( Hey if this place was in Germany they wouldn't make it without beer................... Pay attention 5 Guys........... read more

Burgers are good and you can make them with all the toppings you like. I think they're on par with In-and-Out taste-wise. They're "drier" if that makes sense, so I have less of a "hangover" later. The fries are thick-cut and may not be everyone's taste. They have their merits imo, but probably aren't very good to go. The main beef I have with this place is their location/parking. Come here at lunch? Forget it. You need to park across the street. We choose not to come here sometimes because we don't want to deal with it. No drive through. read more

Five Guys is my favorite place to dine at when I am in the mood for a double patty cheeseburger with everything on it. The cheeseburgers are huge and always served nice and fresh. Five guys is by far the best upscale hamburger fast food place to go to in Redding California. (I tried them all) the all the way burger is the bomb. Mayo, relish, onions, lettuce, pickles, tomatoes, grilled onions, grilled mushrooms, ketchup and mustard with french fries is my favorite burger combo. Five guys you rock. read more

Five Guys - Burgers Near Me - Redding, California

Five Guys has great food, but the worsttttt customer service. I paid $7 for the large fry cuz they're freakin bomb and felt like splurging. But I got a bag full of fry crumbs. Normally i wouldn't have cared but... I paid for it and thought it was worth the hassle of asking them to make me a different bag of them. After the first couple times I asked them and was told they'd just make some more real quick and waiting 20 more minutes, I started getting annoyed. I probably waited another 30 minutes just because they kept yeah they'll be right out! So frustrating. They didn't even seem to try... I will say after all of it I ended up just asking for my money back and they did so quickly. But still. Management needs to step it up. read more

What's not to love!!!! Fresh burger cooked your way with every topping one would need for a top notch tasting burger. You could taste the burger meat, bun was fresh as was the vegetables. Milkshakes were great, I added a little rootbeer to my vanilla. I had the double bacon cheeseburger with the usual suspects + jalopenos. Service was great, nice people working behind the counter. As I was eating my food I asked Why haven't e been here!!! Well I saw a lot of to go orders and then people started piling in. read more

$6.64 for small cup of fries. My family and I have always enjoyed the fries from Five Guys and the fact that they are known for their generous portion of fries. That's why people are willing to pay almost $7 for fries. Today we went and the cup they usually fill up a couple of times over was barely full with a few fries in the bag. We will not be going back, we can get fries for half the cost at other fast food places. Now if they charged accordingly for that amount of fries it would be no problem. read more

Five Guys - $6.64 for fries?!? What happened to the Five Guys fry portion they're known for??? - Burgers Near Me - Redding, California

The chocolate banana shake I ordered was really delicious. I also got fries and a bacon burger. While the food was pretty good, I didn't have a memorable experience. It's fries, burgers and shakes. The location was dirty and packed because of a local youth conference. It took a long while to get my good, but it was expected since there were so many people. read more

I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner; but it's time. You need to know. In-N-Out... I've been cheating on you. Your awesome! And we've had great time! But I need to move on. It's not you it's me - I promise. I'll visit again one day. Just not today. Bye read more

I come here often and I really enjoy the food. The French fries are the best i'm town! But what's more is the management is outstanding. The manager Anthony is very friendly and remembers his customers. You can tell he enjoys his job and takes good care of his employees. On the few occasions that my order wasn't just right he went above and beyond to make it right. This place not only has good food but a great atmosphere and good employees. read more

All the way with this burger and fries. Cajun spice on the fries were a nice change from ordinary fries and the mushroom and bacon on the burger was a grand option. They got an app for that to. Ordered online and picked up on the way home. Parking is veru tight and limited at this location. Enough food for two diners. read more

Before ordering know that the "Little Burger" is a single patty and the regular burgers are doubles. Lots of toppings for free, huge orders of fresh cut fries, (Better than In-N-Out) peanuts to snack on while you wait. Consistent food at all their locations. read more

Yum! One of my favorite places... always fresh and always delicious! Cajun fries are the bomb! And peanuts while you wait! ALRIGHT! We usually stop here or In-N-Out on our way through California.... both delicious! read more

The burgers here are awesome. They are huge, flavorful and well worth the price. My favorite thing to get is the grilled cheese and then I add a patty and all the toppings. It ends up being the same thing as a burger but cheaper and so good! The fries are average in my opinion. It is nice, however, that they give you a GENEROUS amount! My husband and I will usually share because one serving is WAY too much for one person. Also, the jalopenos are cut large and are so fresh! Makes for a very hot burger! Love it! read more

Will never go back. Burger was good but the music was so loud it was extremely annoying and could not hear the order numbers being called. Employee said the noise was management practice and could not be turned down. Food not worth the discomfort of the sound. read more

I loved the fries. The burgers weren't bad but I'm an In-Out fan when the lines are drawn. When the chips were down I have to give it a middle of the road 3 star rating. But I would try it still if I were you. Everyone has a different palette. read more

My husband and I went and had lunch on the 1st. I had eaten at a Five Guys once before. But I must say, I was still not impressed. It was one of the WORST burgers that I have ever had. The entire thing was mush. There was no texture to it, even the bacon on it, had a mushy texture, even the fries had no texture. They were not crisp at all. The entire meal did not seem to have any flavor either. The patties on the burger were thin, and seemed like they had been worked to death, and the meat looked a little grey as well. And they are expensive, you have to buy everything separately. For what my husband and I got, it would have been better to go to In-N-Out, and in the end we would have got better food, and spent less money. All together, it was a horrible experience with horrible food. Also: The space is not big enough, there is not enough seating let alone enough parking. read more

The best. well rounded in every aspect. In N Out can't hold a candle. I dunno what else to put besides it's the best. Is this small order of fries really that small? My burger loyalty belongs to these men and women at five guys. Jesus just took my first bite. Need more stop asking me to write yelp. C'mon read more

I know COVID has affected all restaurants but 5 guys in Redding was horrible today. The bread was old and fell apart before we could eat our burgers. Fries were extra greasy. Best part of the meal was Dr. Pepper. Worst part was sticker shock. 2 burgers, 2 fries, 2 drinks=$48 and change. Last time I eat here. read more

Good but not great...does not live up to the hype. When my sister told me a Five Guys had opened in Redding, I was so excited to have a different option than just In n Out (and I love In n Out) just to change things up from time to time. I eagerly tried out the burger and fries. Maybe my expectations were set too high because I was disappointed. While a good burger, for the price and taste, I would definitely pick In n Out. Everyone in my party of 5 (and no I'm not talking about that 90s tv show ;)) agreed that there was no need to return. In a five Guys vs In n Out taste test, In n Out is the clear winner. read more

I love the burgers. Use the app if you can; it makes ordering a breeze, and you can get in and out of the horrible parking lot quickly. If you love to customize and load your burgers with tons of stuff, this is the spot. read more

All my food come out amazing I order 2 bacon cheeseburger and a bacon dog and it was all great! Only problem was the tables out side were really dirty and before my party got there it was super slow and they could have wiped them down way before we got there. read more

I love this Five Guys. The manager is always very friendly and the food is always consistently really good.

Deliciously consistent! Friendly workers and a comfortable atmosphere made for a great lunch in Colton, Ca. Fresh topping to go along with a simple burger and amazing Cajun Fries that I have seen now where else but FIVE GUYS! Nobody needs fries but you will keep coming back for these ones. In this guys opinion the little increase in cost is well worth it! Don't hesitate folks give them a try!! read more

Great customer service! After dealing with the bad service at the chipotle next door. We were greeted and treated very well by the staff here. Highly recommend! read more

What happened to the good burgers they used to have? There is no substance to them, no chew at all. When you take a bite it's like it dissolves in your mouth and not in a good way, it feels like there is just nothing to it, you barely have to chew it and it's gone. The buns disappear and the meat is like it's loosely packed to save the amount of meat they are using, probably to compensate for the rising cost of beef but guess what?... My cost of a wholesale patty only went up .10 cents for a quarter pound patty so I'm not sure they can justify the increase of price and loosely packing their patties to offset the cost increase in beef and I guarantee they can get them cheaper than I can, so what's up with that, 5 Guys? The prices have almost doubled! A single burger with fries and a water was over $15.00 and I walked away feeling like I needed a snack. I have no problem paying a premium price for a good burger but 5 guys no longer sells good burgers, they are just bewildering to eat because of the no substance to them. For $15.00, go to Red Robin, their burgers are huge and you actually have to chew them because the patties are huge. You leave feeling stuffed, unlike 5 Lies who should sell snacks on the way out the door because their food won't fill you up. Or go to In n out, it will cost about $7.00 a person for a burger, fries and a drink and their burgers actually have substance. Good luck. read more

I can't believe all the sub-par reviews of this restaurant. I went there and I had a Great time. The French fries were fresh (they told you were the fries they cooked that day came from) and there were so many delicious free toppings. I got the cheeseburger with everything besides mustard but I added BBQ sauce. The burger was HUGE and tasty (kind messy but that's how I like my burgers). The atmosphere was awesome the workers were really friendly and happy and would sing and dance around. The facility was really clean and well kept. They had free peanuts for snacks. The small details make this place great. I recommend this place for families with kids that are looking for a fun and happy place. I will definitely be back. read more

The big rival.. Five guys verses In-N-Out. Instead of comparing the two, I'll tell you about Five Guys. Five Guys is a little pricey. For a small cheeseburger, little fry and regular drink it will run you about $10. They have excellent customer service- you'll often hear them singing too. They are VERY generous with their fries. They fill up your container then dump another helping into your bag. The Cajun fries are delicious- not too spicy. They have yummy hotdogs and great hamburgers. The burgers are pretty thick and it comes with many unique toppings for free! They also have a cool fountain drink with 100s of combinations. They also have free peanuts as well. I really love this place and think its worth trying it out. read more

Always bomb!! Never had a bad meal from here. Doesn't ever take long to get our food. Fries are on point. I get my burger with A1 added for a little kick. Yum!!! read more

Delicious cheeseburgers and fries. Free drinks since I am a military veteran. Quick service by nice young people. Good and free peanuts to munch on. Clean place. Nice decor. Parking ok. Anxious to get back. Parking bad right now, during the holidays. Minus 1 star for not always giving me drink for being veteran. Minus 1 star for the bad parking.Parking crowded and limited in a small shopping center. CSR BS Biology read more

Wow, be prepared for a very cold and sterile environment. It was freezing in this place. I asked the cook if he would turn down the air conditioner and he said, "It infringes on my rights." I said, " You have rights?!" I could not believe what I just heard, it infringes on my rights?! I remember being a roofer here in Redding I had no rights, I had to work to get paid that's all. At 5 years of age I picked prunes on my hands and knees, worked in an apricot dry yard and picked cherries for 8 - 10 hours a day for $5. Come on, rights? It's no wonder this country is such a mess, when you have rights in a fast food restaurant because it might get too hot! Then they want $15 an hour. Nope not with the rights you have, be happy you get a paycheck. I will say though, the food was great. This was the first time visiting since they first opened and this visit was much better, well that is the food was much better. I feel sorry for the managers of these restaurants with all these rights and the customers have none. Go for the food, just take a jacket with you and know your comfort is not a right you have.

I'm not a Five Guys fan but my partner had never been so we stopped in. He loved his food so I'm pleased! (I didn't eat, I ate earlier.) the place was pretty clean and the staff is very friendly. read more

When I saw all the reviews that compared Five Guys unfavorably to In N Out, I thought the comparison wasn't that useful since they seemed like different types of places. But after eating here, I have to agree that In N Out is better. I loved the concept of free toppings for the burgers, but I'd rather pay for them and have them be better quality. The grilled mushrooms and grilled onions were especially unappealing. The complimentary peanuts strike me as an odd, but not bad, idea. I was glad we had ordered a regular sized fries to share, as they threw about twice as many fries into the bag as was held by the cup. I'd been curious about this chain but am no longer and wouldn't go back. read more

Good place to grab a burger. I to experienced the staff singing pretty much from the point I opened the door to when I left. At first this caught me off guard but when I saw how much everyone was having, hey it's cool the food is always hot and yes the fries are killer. Might I recommend that you always choose the add bacon. Enjoy read more
