Bottom Line Up Front - What a gut bomb...and I say that in the best hunger satiating - craving crushing - pallet pleasing - fully satisfying way possible! I've eaten at 5 Guys numerous times in almost every state along East Coast from NY to South Carolina and I can honest say I've NEVER left hungry and I've NEVER been disappointed. This 5 Guys on W Genesee Street is no exception!!! No complaints with the service or the food. A solid burger and tasty fries... (My only complaint is a minor one and is pretty systemic among all 5 Guys...it's the limp French Fries. Not lacking on flavor...just limp. I know they are fresh cut and all that, but I've had crispy fresh cut fries before. If 5 Guys, as a chain, could solve this then it would complement the burger more and increase the overall experience.) read more

Burgers always good. But had incorrect order brought home and Manager, Graham, made things right. He went above and beyond to fix not only incorrect order, but the inconvenience as well. Not going to lie - saved a customer. Burgers and fries were delicious, on point. read more

Five Guys Erie blvd location has a new manager and weekend staff. Since he started the quality of the food has gone through the roof.

Arguably one of the best burgers in Syracuse. Central New York is known for its excellent pizza and wings, our Hamburgers, not so much. The ingredients all seemed fresh, thought the lettuce was soggy. The jalapeños and onions were excellent. The meat was cooked medium well, but the burger wasn't well seared. The fries were plentiful but soggy. In Syracuse, this burger stacks up pretty well. In California or Texas, it would be a two star at best. The service was quick and friendly. There was a line but it moved quickly and my order came up right away. The restaurant was super clean. Parking was adequate, but just barely. Burger and fries (no drink) came to over $16. Not a budget meal or a noteworthy deal. But all restaurant prices seem high to me since the pandemic. read more

Ridiculous wait. If they say "Your order will be ready in 8 minutes," text you saying "Your order is ready," why am I still waiting 20 minutes AFTER they said my order was ready? Everyone behind the counter was making hamburgers. And then, there were 30 hamburgers on the counter that were ready. Then after that... one girl made all of the fries to go with the orders. Why doesn't one person make fries WHILE the burgers are being made? read more

First burger here. Delicious. Good quality meat, fresh bun and loads of grilled onions. The milkshake was as good as ever. The most superior fast food place around imo. read more

I had lunch here today. As I sat when I finished just to rest a minute I watched the girl cleaning the restaurant. She was so thorough. She did each table and the seats with clean toweling. So many restaurants use one cloth for several tables. I even asked her if she hired out because she was so good. She swept. She did windows,etc. the whole place sparkled in no time. It was great knowing they cared so much to make the place shine. I'm sorry to leave anything negative but one thing bothered me. The music was way too loud. I had to tell the guy who took my order 3 times what I wanted. It won't keep me from returning but I'll take my order to go if the music is that loud again. The best burger in town! read more

Great burgers awesome fries and I would recommend this to anyone looking for a nice juicy burger

Ordered a meal through door dasher. Dasher decided not to bring it and brought it back to resturant. Called door dash and order was refunded to me. Replaced order with door dash and the resturant sent out the food that was made two hours ago! Food was cold. Bag with fries was so soaked with grease it ripped open. Terrible. Also my burger with "extra pickles" had two pickles. Door dash did refund me but it's absolutely inexcusable that five guys didn't remake the food. read more

Five stars for five guys. This is judged on a curve for fast food/quick service restaurants. Five guys is one of my favorite places to get a burger. Until I had shake shack it was my number one chain burger. It's still a close second. Burgers here are always juicy and flavorful though a little spendy. You will always get your moneys worth when you order fries though. They are not stingy at all and they always drop them fresh even if you order for pick up. They're always working hard behind the line but sometimes I've noticed that the café gets overlooked and the tables can be a bit messy. I'm not too proud to wipe my own table but when you're spending 25 or more for two burgers and a fry to split I expect the café to be cleaned a little more frequently. read more

Stopped in at my local 5 guys for a burger and fries. The burger wasn't as good as it usually is. Maybe it's because I got a cold condiment put on top (tomatoes). It made the top bun cold and a little soggy on one side. The fries were cooked perfectly. I've been coming to this location since it opened and have had much better burgers from them in the past. I usually give them 4 stars. Cause fast food never gets 5. This time around it's 2 1/2. I don't know if this location is under new management. But, train your cooks not to tightly wrap the burgers once they've been finished. It tends to make the buns squishy and soggy. read more

Five Guys - a hamburger and fries on a table - Burgers Near Me - Syracuse, New York

Five Guys began in Washington, DC in 1986 when Jerry and Janie Murrell offered sage advice to the young Murrell brothers: "Start a business or go to college." The business route won and the Murrell family opened a carry-out burger joint in Arlington, Virginia. Under the guidance of their parents, the Murrell family served only hand-formed burgers cooked on a grill along with fresh-cut fries cooked in pure peanut oil. The little burger joint quickly developed a cult-like following. At least 10 years ago, I first tried Five Guys at this location. And I wasn't impressed. I didn't understand what all the fuss was about. The fries were good, but the burger didn't impress me. I never went again, until recently. I was in the mood for a burger and didn't want a fast food or sit down restaurant burger, so I figured, hey, it's been a decade since I've had Five Guys. People are constantly telling me how good their food is, maybe I just need to give them another try. So I did. And I had the same experience. Good fries. Decent price. Service was fine and the restaurant was clean. But the burger just did not do anything for me. It was greasy, the meat itself was flavorless, and it was sloppily put together and extremely messy. If burgers are your money maker, they oughta be done better. While everything else was fine, I just can't give a better rating when the thing you're known for is mediocre. I find Five Guys to be all hype, overrated and won't be returning again. read more

We ordered food online and knew they take forever. Waited 25 mins to pick it up. Got there and waited 20 more minutes. It takes them an hour to make 2 burgers and french fries. I refuse to ever go back here. Poor management. read more

I have always eaten at the Five Guys over in East Syracuse and just so happened to be over on this side of town. I can happily report that the food is consistently delicious at both locations. The burgers are super juicy and topped with a heaping amount of cheese, the fries are beyond glorious with their crispy texture and perfect seasoning, and their shakes are creamy and delicious. The prices are nice and cheap too. A wee bit higher than fast food, but much cheaper than a restaurant. I recommend a jr burger, because the regular is a double! The only reason I didn't like this location as much as the other, is that they were much slower than the other location. I didn't have much time and it held me up quite a bit. Other than that, not too shabby. read more

Amazing food and shakes. They're great about my allergies too. And refused to serve people without a mask. Doing right in our crazy times

I ordered a burger and fries for pickup at 1:55. Got there at 2:15 and my order wasnt ready yet. So I waited until 2:35 until I asked someone what was going on. They completely forgot my order and I had no time to wait because I WASTED my entire lunch break. Get it together, never returning here to eat. read more

This is not a fancy place but the burgers are consistently on point. The actual restaurant to sit and eat is something you would want to avoid. Very plastic, cold, and loud, crappy music which says to me they don't want you to stay there, so 9/10 I get take-out. Their burgers are juicy and have great flavor and beat every other place in Syracuse. I love that I can just go down the list and tell them all of my toppings. Ordering online is super quick and easy and recommended. read more

I love me a good burger every now and then. I try to eat healthy though and I'm not one for fast food and grease, so usually I would steer clear of a place like this. HOWEVER, after a few visits, my bf and I have started to go here almost every Thursday for a pre-weekend date. It is that good. I always get some variation on the same thing: Little Cheeseburger ("Little" =one beef patty instead of two) with green peppers, grilled onions, mushrooms, BBQ sauce, mustard, pickles, lettuce and tomato. Sometimes I get it with bacon. They always pile on the toppings and the combo is delicious. Me and the bf always get an order of Regular fries and that's enough to share (they throw in a bunch of extra fries into your bag, so it's practically like getting a double order). Another thing: everything here is cooked with Peanut Oil, which is much healthier than other oils (less saturated fat) and adds a pleasant, unique flavor to the meat and fries that is characteristic of this establishment. I'm not sure if that poses a problem for those with peanut allergies though, so you should definitely ask if you suffer from peanut allergies. (Refined peanut oil is allergen-free, so if they use refined peanut oil you're good to go and chow down!) So so good, and for less than $14 for the two of us (one Little Cheeseburger, one Regular Bacon Burger, and an order of fries) it makes for a cheap, satisfying weekly burger date. read more

A decent chain burger place, but with the price increases there are many better local choices. I love the concept of fast food burgers made to order but there isn't a value for the money anymore. The actual burger is rather small, topping are plentiful and fresh as is the roll. Love the soda machine, the frets are hit or miss, and way too expensive for a single small portion. They need to consider a dollar size fries read more

1. The Cajun fries are just Seasoning Salt with some fries added. 2. Their buns are soft and mushy and bland for a bun, that's hard to achieve. 3. The burgers were just okay and nothing special. I would rather eat a burger at In-N-Out, Smashburger, Wendy's, or Burger King. And my daughter would like you to know that there was a rather large bug on the table. read more

I ordered the little cheeseburger. It was only after getting home I realized they had forgotten to include the cheeseburger, it was just a bun & toppings. ? read more

The food here is absolutely tasty and I do recommend the Coffee milkshake if you're into black coffee! I mean I find a few pieces of trash around the inside but it wasn't noticeable around until I looked hard. read more

I heard a lot of great things about this place and I was excited to give it a try. I got their cheeseburger with grilled onions, mushrooms, pickles, lettuce, and tomatoes-- plus a side of fries. The place seems a tad dirty, and the tables were sticky which is a pet peeve of mine. Anyhow I got our bag of goodies and the grease is taking over the bag. I'm not scared of grease but heads up because there is a lot! The burger is a 4 star! It is very hearty and I feel like I had a n increase chance of a heart attack but it is really good! The fries were garbage though. I could tell that they never change their oil. This is where a place like in-n-out owns 5 guys! It could be just this 5 guys but so far I'm not a fan of their fries. Two cheeseburgers (two patties each) and two fries totaling to $19?!? Definitely over- priced in my mind! Try their burgers but in-n-out wins this match. read more

The fatal flaw with Five Guys is that someone mistakenly tried to compare and even say that Five Guys is better than In-N-Out. Blasphemy. I will say they make a decent burger. The patties aren't as flavorful as In-N-Out, but there's no doubt these are heads and tails above any other fast food burger you are going to get in Syracuse. The toppings all seem fairly fresh. I loaded my burger up with lettuce, tomato, grilled onions, grilled mushrooms, and jalapenos. Pretty good. The burger itself is pretty big, but it better be for $6. We also got an order of the large fries. Very salty and a little soggy, but tasty. They came right out of the fryer so they were very hot. I tried putting some of the malt vinegar on them. Not bad. Doesn't beat my favorite - 2 parts ketchup to 1 part fry. Delicious. It's definitely a little expensive - two burgers and a large fry came to just under $18. It's good to try once and see what the fuss is about, but for the sake of my arteries, I won't be making it a regular thing. read more

Food - awesome. Staff - not doing their jobs, but quite a few standing around. The place was a pit. Dirty tables, overflowing garbage bins. And the worst part was the staff member who then started cleaning tables in front of me with a USED customer napkin! Serious training needed for the staff because I want to love this place and go regulary, but I can't imagine eating in the place like that again. I'll give it another try in the future. None of the other Five Guys I've been to have this problem so I imagine they'll turn it around. read more

Earlier today I went for lunch here with a couple of my friends and had a delightful time. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They also had our food ready rather quickly. The restaurant was clean and tidy which set us up for a more than adequate dining experience. My only complaint would be that they initially forgot the barbeque sauce on my bacon burger. But, they added it with no problems once I informed them about it. I would recommend this place to other friends and plan on returning in the near future. read more

As far as fast food burgers go, this place is alright. They are clean, despite the free peanuts, have a nice soda machine and are at a reasonable price point. The burgers? So what. I don't see the hype. Patties are thin and unseasoned. I'm ok with thin patties, but they need to have flavor. Maybe it's where they procure their beef? In-N-Out is twice as good at almost half the cost and are less greasy. Maybe I've been spoiled by In-N-Out, but I'm just not impressed by the food. A+ on the cleanliness of the dining room and layout though. read more

Its consistent, burgers and fries are decent, my only knocks on the place is how long they take to make an order. My son ordered a grilled cheese and regular fry and it took 11 minutes, there were like 5 people working at 9pm the store was not busy, but tables and floors were dirty and service was slow read more

I love the burgers here. They taste so good and so do the fries. The feel of the place is great and I really enjoyed it here. I like the one in Fairmount a little better but that doesn't mean much, they are both awesome places. There isn't one closer to me in Liverpool so I don't go here as much as I would like to, if there was one nearby I'd go a lot more! read more

The burgers here are expensive for a fast-ish food place, but they do taste amazing. To me, it's the subtlety that counts: doing things like putting toppings above and below the burger is a really clever way to make the taste hit you and also helps prevent them from falling out. Their fries leave a little to be desired to me, and by that I don't mean they are lacking seasoning- because the fries are drowning in it. I also think its a fun idea to just fill the bag with fries when ordering a large. read more

This is the best fast food place for a burger in the CNY area. Second to "Tom Wahls" for upstate NY. Third to "In & Out" (2nd) & "Fuddruckers" (1st) on a national level. Five Guys needs to make their burgers with less grease, if they wanna be #1. U can see and taste the grease when eating one of their burgers. However it's still a damn good burger in my opinion. Also, it's a bit pricy for a fast food burger. My Bacon cheeseburger came to $7. Lower the Bacon Cheeseburger to $5.50 would make it worth it's value. Also that goes for the rest of the burgers on the menu. Overall a good burger, but a bit pricy. There's no way u should pay $12 for a Bacon Cheeseburger, Small Fries and Soda. Less grease and lowering the price of their burgers will make this one of the best fast food burger joints in America and that's one opinion coming from a guy who loves a good burger. read more
