If you like red meat, specially beef this is the joint that will give you the burger fix when you need it. My husband loves this as it is 15 minutes away from our place, parking is not a hassle on week days and the "burger is really good". His favorite is the Hamburger and the sweet potato fries. I think he loves the spicy fries more than the burger and is a happy man when he is done devouring the giant burger. The soda machines are fun but I do not recommend drinking a lot of soda (for health reasons). It can be a good place to get your kids to enjy a family lunch while you are on Mill avenue. read more

Cajun fries with vinegar (dont judge me!!): GOOD! Burger with everything (including grilled mushrooms and onions) plus A-1 sauce: GOOD! Very nice staff: GREAT High tech soda machines: AWESOME! People that compare to in & out: boo! Of course it's a bit more here...but I think it's worth it.. Or maybe I'm just not an In & Out fan, sorry. I guess I only review places I really really like. FYI the "little" burgers are a single patty while the regular burgers are double... I didn't know that but the guy at the counter offered this info. read more

The patties are greasy and the bread soggy. The free peanuts is a pro but that makes things even greasier. Not a fan of Five Guys :(

First, this place reeks of being a national-chain-franchise-type restaurant. The staff is trying to be enthusiastic like they have been instructed, but it feels very fake. Otherwise, the burgers are good. As you have heard, the standard burger contains two patties, the smaller version has one. The fresh-cut fries were excellent, maybe the best in Tempe. We may go back, but probably won't go out of our way. read more

My girlfriend and I hit this place up during the Horror & Sci-Fi Film festival this weekend. I ordered the bacon cheeseburger and she picked up a regular cheese burger with onions and mushrooms. ..also grabbed a small fry. I gotta say the taste of these burgers are absolutely delicious. Just juicy as can be. The fries are great too, but I recommend getting the small.. plenty of food. I loved that all the condiments are free to put on the burger. My only gripe is that they dont tell you how big the burgers are. After getting our food, we both realized that we could have split one big burger or each have gotten a jr burger. Loved the taste of this place and would most definitely go back here and chow down. read more

Finally an able competitor to IN & OUT burger! The burgers are a good size and come with all the toppings you would ever want. Their sweet Potato fries are delicious and the portion is soo big that I can usually convince a friend to order them and then steal 1/2 of theirs :) Despite this place being busy during lunch, they usually have my order ready within 5-10 minutes. I still like IN & OUT burgers better but this place gives it a run for the money. read more

I'll admit that I hadn't heard of 5guys before Obama hailed them as his favorite burger. Nonetheless, I was impressed. Great location, plenty of seating and an efficient process. I ordered the "little" burger and let me assure you, this is plenty big! A really good size burger with your choice of toppings. I got all the standards, minus the onions. Shared a regular fries with a coworker and there were still left overs. Really enough fries for three ppl. I really enjoyed my meal here, and they get kudos for great drink selections (sprite zero anyone?!?) Oh, and they have all you can eat free peanuts too! read more

So happy that there is a no bun option! Always had good experiences at 5 Guys. Atmosphere is loud with the rock music playing and usually pretty busy and bright. That being said the burgers are pretty worth it with the toppings deals you get. The cajun fries are great and we always end up taking them home because we can't finish them all (along with bags of peanuts). Rating bumped down due to being a little pricey for what is ultimately fast food, although I do like that they don't have freezers and post where their potatoes came from that day. read more

Went here on vacation. This place is really good. Huge burgers. My only problem with 5 guys is the price of the burgers. A bacon burger is 5.60. That is with no fries or a drink. The fries cost 2 something and they give you a ton. You could share the fries among three friends. Five guys has around 20 different toppings for your burger. Great clean place. This location also has outdoor seating. read more

Well....if you're dying for a burger, I guess. I'm not usually dying for a burger. I just wanted to try something new. This one does come with the option of grilled onions along with other toppings, so that does make it better than fast food, just not that much better. The fries rock. Something I just don't get about this place is the volume of the music. Maybe they're trying to drowned out the sound of the kitchen, but it feels like the speakers are screaming the music down on me. This is just another place where conversations are like a yelling competition with the other patrons and the music. I added one extra star in my rating because of the Coke machine. This thing is awesome. It looks like a spaceship and has about 100 different combinations of drinks. read more

I love five guys. I eat at the Las Vegas locations 1-2 times a week. I was excited to find a Five Guys on Mill. If you are looking for just a plain, simple burger and none of the fancy extras that high end burger joints offer, this is the spot. A great tasting meat burger, no special or creative toppings to make the burger. I couldn't give it five stars overall, even though the burger was great. My two knocks are; the store was dirty. I'm not referring to all the peanut shells on the floor (you can grab peanuts and eat them while you wait for your burger to be cooked). But almost all the tables were dirty. I actually had to clean my own table. And the employee atmosphere was dead. The Las Vegas locations are rowdy and upbeat, full of energy the second you walk in. They greet you, they give orders amongst themselves that is loud but upbeat. That was missing from here at Mill Ave. But don't let the small stuff that can be corrected overnight stop you from eating here. What can't be fixed is their great tasting burger. Add a milkshake machine and this joint will give In N Out a run for its money! Plain and simple, Five Guys is a must try! read more

If I could give them 0 stars I would .......came in to eat but first wanted to use the bathroom .....when I tried to open the door it was locked ......I walked to the counter to ask if keys where needed the girl behind the counter was very quick to tell me the BR was for customers only. .....with a very sour look on her face ...I'm hoping it wasn't because I'm Hispanic although it seemed that way .....hope this review will stop anyone from going there ...ps we walked right out read more

I have to bump this up to 3 stars because I've eaten here more than once. Still a bit steep in price, as I prefer in n out in every way over this place at half the cost but the bigger is solid here. read more

Took forever. One guy cooking one thing at a time. Another eating in the doorway to the kitchen with his crack hanging out. 8 pm thursday Mill Ave everyone. read more

Working in downtown Tempe, I've eaten at Five Guys many times over the years. I was shocked when my Little Cheeseburger that usually costs around $5.00 rang up at $6.89!!!!!! It's pretty sad when a restaurant chain takes advantage of people when there is a crisis and jacks up their prices! Shame on you Five Guys, there's three less guys that will be giving you business in the future (and hopefully a lot more when they read this review) read more

Dropped in for a quick shake and quite frankly I was a bit unsettled by the menu choices. BACON, IN A MILKSHAKE? To what madness has mankind descended? What makes the matter all the worse is that I found myself tempted to try it. Much like a moth drawn to flame, I feel the pull towards my own destruction. Only the thinnest strands maintain my tether to reality, as the siren repeats its haunting call. While I have been able to leave the physical boundaries of this Five Guys, I fear that this ethereal idea will remain inside my mind until the grave offers its sweet embrace. Overall, good Oreo milkshake though! read more

I love burgers. I've said it once, and ill say it again, my last meal on earth would absolutely be a burger. It will be juicy and meaty, the bun will be dry and toasty and there will be more pickles than you can count.. It will be accompanied by a mound of delicious french fries and a giant milkshake... Today at lunch, I was invited to try a new burger joint, which apparently everyone loves, and was told that my love affair with In&Out would be shattered.. Well, that was a lie. I got a cheese burger, fries and a cherry coke. The sheer fact that there is fountain cherry coke automatically merits a star. I liked the options I got for toppings, I chose mayo, pickles, sauteed mushrooms, lettuce and A-1.. I've got to admit, I was excited, really excited.. however, that excitement was quickly shattered when I got my meal.. I unwrapped the tin foil, hoping to find a delicious juicy cheeseburger, just for me.. yeah well, I found a burger, just for me, but it was WET. The entire bun was drenched.. THIS, ladies and gents, this disgusts me to no end. One of the words I hate most in the world is moist, and I also hate when things that are not supposed to be moist, are moist. Especially bread. BARF. The meat wasn't very flavorful either.. and they used portobello mushrooms, that were cold. I frowned. My lunch date frowned back. The fries were apparently from Shelly Idaho, I know this because they have a "Todays fries are from.." board.. they taste just like In&Outs, just thicker.. so basically it is imperative that you order them well done. The place is big, holds a lot of people and they are really well staffed, but the meal was just meh.. and for the two of us the total came out to be $22.00. TWENTY TWO DOLLARS for 2 cheeseburgers, fries and a drink.. for real?? Whatever, i know its inevitable that I will give this place another shot, mostly because I work next door, and Fat Burger doesn't do it for me.. But I was just really really sad with the whole experience. I don't eat burgers often, so when I do its a treat, and well, this was not a treat. *sigh* read more

Like In-N-Out with peanuts everywhere. Only twice the price. But without the drive-thru or the paper hats.

I am going to keep this short and not so sweet. First there wasn't 5 guys, there was 3 guys and a girl. Ok my attempt at humor might have failed but so did this place in my book. I spent 15 dollars on 2 burgers and 1 regular fry, way to much if you ask me. They screwed up my order, twice. The first time I ordered a bacon burger with cheese all the free toppings minus the mushrooms, they put mushrooms on. I sent it back and also asked them to leave off the gross, processed slop that they were trying to pass off as cheese. Also the first burger was a sloppy, soggy mess from the moment I opened the foil that it was wrapped in. When I went back to the counter I went over my order, slowly, thinking it would be right. Since everyone had already eaten I took it to go without checking it, another mistake on my part. They left off the mushrooms this time but forgot the bacon. You think they would have given my burger special attention since they screwed it up the first time, nope. I try to stay away from chain restaurants anyway, give my money to locally owned establishments, and this experience has solidified that notion. I will stick with Lobby's thank you. read more

It was my first time going to Five Guys and I thought the burger had a good presentation with the cheese melting onto the patty and it tasted really good and the fries I got were also good but some of it was really salty. The overall pricing was good and I would definitely go back to another location. read more

Jenny R and I popped in here this afternoon. I've walked by a few times and noticed the long lines and crowds inside. I had to see what the fuss was about. I'm very impressed. This is my new favorite burger spot. They have normal size burgers (i.e. huge) as well as mini versions. I got a mini because I'm watching my figure and it was the perfect size burger for me. The burger comes naked as a Jaybird. If you want something on it (and they have quite a list of toppings) you have to specify. The burger was one of the best I've ever had in my life. Perhaps it was the grilled onions and mushrooms. The cajun fries were smothered in spice and made my tongue sweat. I liked it! ("Small" must mean "enormous." Get a small and you can easily split it was a friend or two.) Five Guys wasn't any more pricey than any other burger spot around town. The mini burger and small cajun fries came to $6.50 ish. (No drink for me. I only drink water, and that's always free.) I'm only going here for burgers from now on. I'm very pleased to see this on Mill Ave. read more

Why is 5 guys so expensive??? Why their meat so tasteless???? I forgot i even got a burger, y'all hype the fries up too much they aren't that good.... I can't believe I paid $10 for a cardboard tasting burger and mediocre fries. The staff was nice tho read more

Ok. Nothing to crave. Fries fantastic. Don't park on Mill the birds will decorate the outside of your car.

This is an awesome place great service all the time I come here. Fredi keep up the good work he is very friendly I definitely recommend this place. Place is very clean and outstanding service. read more

After reading many reviews for places to eat in Tempe, I decided I wanted a burger. Chose Five Guys because of a friend of a friend raving over it. Walked in and read the 30 signs they had all around the place then finally made my way to order. I ordered a cheeseburger with onion, lettuce, and mustard. My partner ordered a bacon cheeseburger with lettuce, tomato, grilled onion, ketchup,and mustard. We each had a drink and shared a small Cajun fry. We asked the cashier how big each patty was and he said 3.3 to 3.5oz's. Food was quick. Fries were small but plentiful, actually, we only ate the the extras at the bottom of the bag. The cup was still full. Anyways I started on my burger and found it to be okay. It was good but that's it. The burger was juicy but not flavorful, I am glad that I added the cheese which made it a little better. I really didn't like the seasoned fries, they were better when I dipped them in hot sauce. My partners burger was of course messy but the bacon was good, crunchy and had a smokey flavor. It was good, definitely better than mine but nothing I would crave. Overall, I wasn't blown especially being on Mill, closing at 7 and being overpriced. read more

The owners of this chain sure know how to hype up an average tasting burger. The food is not bad nor good, it is just average. Its food you can cook at home. The cheese is that cheap fake cheese, the meat sucks. The price is way too much. Im not a cheap guy, I like spending money on food if it is good, Five Guys simply is not that. Go to another burger place and save your money. read more

For a place that's supposed to be all about great burgers, at least this location falls far short of the mark. I ordered a little bacon cheese burger and fries (as an aside, I find it annoying that they only offer one size of fries, not on an economic level - as the cost for the size they offer is reasonable, but on a wasteful level as sometimes I just want some dries and not a pound of fries). Needless to say, after a reasonable wait, I got my food and upon opening the wrapper, found the bun waterlogged and shriveled as if it had been made some time ago. I'm mot sure how this could be however, as I ordered a specific set of toppings which seemed to be present. Anyhow, with the first bite, the Burger self-destructed and left me with a burger-salad I was forced to eat like an animal. The ingredients, except the horrible bun which caused the whole problem, were good and fresh, and the fries - although too numerous, were great. I have been to another five guys location in the area and this was not my experience there. This location needs to fix a few things to get it right, and the average three stars I saw on their overview probably gets it about right. Maybe this sort of sloppy preparation works for a $10 lunch for a college kid, but for me it was unacceptable. read more

Soggy french fries, an okay burger and that's about it. Oh, and it will cost about 10 bucks.

From the stale peanuts at the beginning of the line where it starts. Then for $13 bucks, forget it. I can eat for same price for two people and be IN and OUT burger read more

My husband and I LOVE this place. Quick service, wonderful fresh food, cool coke machine and good fun. I read a few reviews of this place below - I don't mind the people outside because I don't notice them when I'm here. Hey, its Tempe, get use to it. I love Tempe! The only few bad things are only two restrooms and a line at the super cool coke machines. Please people just push the buttons. It's like your touch screen phone. LOL Recommend this place very highly!!!! read more

Okay burgers. Unlimited toppings for no extra charge. Awesome fries. Cool soda machine.

Best burgers on mill ave only down fall is they close early ..highly recommend if u have never been before

I hit up 5 Guys once a year or so, basically to remind myself that it really isn't very good. How do they get so much good press? The fries are weak and there are actually too many of them, (how about charging less for a smaller serving?)...but the burger is the biggest shame. I load it with almost all the toppings, but the whole thing is seriously lacking flavor. In & Out is light years ahead... read more

I really like 5 guys in general and I do stop by quite a bit on Mill Avenue. I took my friend TJ who is new to America and has never had a burger before, what a fun experience! We walked in one night for dinner and ordered, I got the bacon cheese burger with everything on it, and he got the cheese burger. We waited probably 5 minutes for it and of course it was delicious! I began eating mine, eating peanuts and tossing them on the floor as my friend opened his and was disappointed they hadn't put any toppings on it. He walked up to the counter and asked if he could pay gthem to just throw some toppings on and instead they guy said "next time just let us know you want toppings, have a seat and I'll have a new one made this time -free of charge!! I thought that was so cool of them, they didn't even know it was his first time but they sure made his first American burger experience epic! He loved it! And had lunch for the next day now! Thanks 5 guys for takin care of my buddy, that was really cool of you guys! read more

Sooo, I went to Five Guys tonight for dinner. I think I found my new burger place! I got the bacon cheeseburger with the two patties with all of the toppings that are not by request only i.e. mayo, mustard, ketchup, pickles, lettuce, tomato, and grilled onion. That burger was so juicy and flavorful! I loved it! The fries were fresh and plentiful and the cajun seasoning hit the spot! I found it funny that there were so many people working behind the counter and there was only one girl working. Sure, the place is a bit more pricey than in-n-out, but you get a lot more food as well. The only reason I did not give this place 5 stars was because when I have a good burger, I need a strawberry shake to go with, and they do not sell shakes!!! That sort of let me down a little bit, but other than that, I had absolutely no complaints. I will definitely be returning to Five Guys! read more

Five Guys is pretty new on the scene on Mill and fits in very well with the college style and crowd that it will cater to. This place is by no means a gourmet restaurant, but they put out decent food at a decent price. The inside is very well lit and very clean with white tiled walls with red highlights and free peanuts for snacking on. Service is quick and friendly with food being made as it is ordered. My burger was well cooked, but not dry and overdone; well prepared and still juicy. The toppings are very fresh and can be picked to suit with a large variety. Being able to just pick and choose your toppings to your heart's desire is kind of a neat aspect of this place and gives the customer the ability to customize their burger. The fries were the weakest part of the meal since they were a bit on the soggy side and left room for improvement. I did like the choice of regular fries or cajun, which gave the fries a bit more flavor and taste and actually bumped up fries a bit. However, I really like my fries to be a bit more crispy and less soggy/limp. read more

eh. first of all, this place had been hyped up to me by a couple of people(hubby included) for several days. add that to the fact that parking on Mill's a b*tch, and you will realize why this was such a let-down for me. now, we'll begin with the pros: *free peanuts while you wait *delicious cajun fries *malt vinegar ...that's about it. the burger was kind of dry and, I suspect, would have been about as good as, say, McDonalds, had I not added my plethora of toppings. the service took forever(and it was nearly empty in there), and their sh*t is EXPENSIVE. Lenny's, in Glendale, has them beat. hands down. read more

Little expensive for a burger and fries, but it is a quality meal. Cajun fries are good and its always fun to watch the people try to figure out the soda machines. Has some hot dogs for kids as well. Even though the say all topping are free, when you are paying 8.00 for just a burger they are not free. read more

Good food, but it will take you a LONG time to get it. I've been to this location several times and it's been extremely short-staffed every time. read more

Freshly prepared burgers just the way you want it. Nice fresh cut french fries with some of the potato skin for flavor. Definitely go there with an appetite. More expensive than In n Out burger but worth it. Only down side is having to deal with parking on Mill. read more
