Five Guys Burgers and Fries

Limited sitting which is expected the week before Christmas but not everyone can sit at a bar table style sitting. Plus side, someone was actually near the area where you get your food expediting pick up and cleaning of tables. Negative side, tables to close together.

I’ve been to many Five Guys locations all over the US and have never had a negative experience… until now. I walked in late in the evening (7:45pm) and there was no waiting at the counter. Unfortunately, the 3 workers behind the counter made no attempt to greet me or come over to the register to take my order (this happens immediately at every other five guys i’ve been too). Finally, one of the workers says to the others, «I guess I’ll go over and take the orders». By this time, the line was 5 – 6 customers deep. I got my order and the fries were good as always. the burger was done a bit too much. Not going back to this location.

I visited the Five Guys burger and fries at Middleton Wisconsin on Greenway Boulevard. I was so disappointed when I asked what kind of cheese they have I was told all they had was american cheese. I don’t think they thought about this place very well no drive thru and right by a McDonalds that has all kinds of cheese. Not thrilled

Been coming to Five Guys since they started in DC and experience have always been very good. This time I had great service! After placing my standard order I was looking up Five Guys Secret Menu and found the Patty Melt option. One employee said they do it, and another asked if I wanted to change my order. Of course… Very cool in the moment reaction to a customer desire!

I placed my dinner order for online pickup at the wrong location (I know, I know). Regardless, the manager was very helpful in transferring the order to the location I wanted and even contacting the general manager to resolve the problem. All of this was accomplished with a very upbeat and positive attitude! I am happy.

Five five five guysssss! Awesome as always! The place was a little busier than I usually run into and the staff did a great job taking care of everyone in a timely matter. Definitely recommend getting a small fry if you are alone, not only do they give a cup, but they seem to dump a whole nother serving into the bag.

Great burger! The Small burger would have been sufficient though, only one patty. The French fries were excellent and fresh!

Wow that was good. Disclosure, I’m not really a burger guy. But I thought the hamburger here was delicious. I really liked it.

Remember a few years back when the world was creaming it’s collective pants over Five Guys? The hype has died down, but you can relive the fun by visiting any Five Guys location which will be plastered with glowing reviews from such media stalwarts as the Wake Forest Gazette extolling the delights of the «Best Burger of 2009». Seriously, its probably time to update some of those signs.
Anyway, for a chain burger Five Guys is pretty tasty. There’s only a few things on the menu (hot dogs, grilled cheese and the burgers) so were ordered burgers and fries — because the name isn’t Five Guys Grilled Cheese. I like that you can customize your toppings and that everything is made to order. The people that work at this location were actually pleasant and friendly, a rarity in fast food.
My burger? Definitely above average in quality and decently priced at about $ 6.50 for a ½lb burger (burgers are two smaller patties though the menu doesn’t really tell you that). Fries? Ehhhh… I’m in the camp that thinks Five Guys fries aren’t anything special. They do give you WAY more than you need — a regular easily serves 2 people. They’ve also got one of those nifty soda machines from the future where you can make all types of different and disgusting drink combos if you so choose.
Overall — Five Guys is pretty good for a chain burger place. But you shouldn’t really eat here all that often because you’ll die. The end.

FIVE GUYS gets FIVE STARS
Okay so, I’ve had Five Guys previously, and was satisfied, but after going there on pretty decently busy Tuesday, I’m blown away!
First thing noticed upon walking into the restaurant was how clean it was, and as i said before, it was pretty busy. Second thing noticed is the tiny simple little menu, this is good. Laid out in black and white (and red ;), even if you are not sure what you want, you should be able to decide very quickly, choose something to put between your buns, choose condiments, fries? Drink? Yes, please! This is great given the complications we are faced with day by day.
As me and my lovely companion were standing in an ever growing queue, i couldn’t help but notice how friendly the young lady at the counter was. This is very nice because, when the hell was the last time you walked into a fast food restaurant and something that caught your eye was how nice and happy the employees were? Having pride in ones work is not something that usually goes hand in hand with fast food, or even full-​service restaurants for that matter, this was a breath of fresh air to say the least.
As we were helped by the aforementioned bright young gal, we shared a couple laughs and were not rushed, but helped in a fast and efficient manner. Working in a kitchen is hard when its busy, and its even harder being so nice and friendly to every single customer, but that’s exactly what we received and exactly what we observed as given to every patron.
After a five minute wait we received out boatload of fries, Cajun style, cooked to perfection, a bacon cheeseburger and a hot dog. Fries, obviously freshly cut, as noted by the 20 or so bags of potatoes sitting on a rack in the lobby, perfectly cooked and seasoned. Love that they fill the bottom of the bag, generous portions are hard to come across nowadays. The burger, a little one, can hardly be called little. Every ingredient freshly cut and placed on a fresh juicy burger patty, bursting with flavor. The hot dog, ordered Chicago style, with the same fresh ingredients, was sliced in half like id never seen before. It was like they made a burger out of a hot dog, it was awesome!
The only thing i don’t like about this place is that its so far away! Ive been to the one on Oakland several times and it comes nowhere near comparison to this little gem of a burger place! I shall come back here often and bask in the burger glory!
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK GUYS AND GIRLS!

Huge fan of 5 guys. They are consistently the best $ 8 burger you can buy. they are freshly made and the fries are even good. The meal is extremely filling and for $ 10 I can’t think of a better meal.

F eeling hungry after creating a wedding registry at C&B,
I headed to Five Guys with my fiancé.
V egetables? No. I wanted Dayum Dayum DAYYYYUM good burgers.
E veryone should try their free peanuts; they are salty though, just like the fries.
G ood golly Ms. Molly — my favorite invention, the Coke Freestyle machine is in this
U nusually small, but clean and organized restaurant space.
Y es the employees were courteous, friendly, and polite.
S adly, slightly overpriced as usual.

I love Five Guys — I really do. I can’t really control myself when it comes to this place. If you ask me if I want to go, I will always say, «YES.»
There appears to be a lot of Five Guys fries haters out there, but I actually love them. Salty, crispy and thick — om nom nom. If you want something with a little kick, get the cajun style. And be warned, you do get a SHLOAD of fries. My husband and I can split a regular easily.
However, I only give this location 3 stars because it’s always sticky. Like the floors, the tables… all sticky and crumb topped. And the service is hit or miss.
But don’t worry — there are plenty of other location to chose from.

meets a craving for pretty much any kind if burger you like. good quality pickles and add many as I can get.

I purposely avoid Five Guys because I know once I eat their burger I’m going to want another one like everyday for the next 2 weeks. They have the best fast food burger in my opinion. I can’t exactly pinpoint what makes them so good — they just are. The fries are nothin special — I don’t even order them when I eat here. If you do order them, beware — you can split the regular size between a couple people easily.

One word awesome fries!!! I don’t get it why people cut down on fries I guess milwaukeians just love to eat frozen fries. Of course your fries get soggy after a white cause they are not FROZEN

All the hype I heard right before this place came to Mayfair, was for nothing. The burgers were ok, but the fries were terrible, they were greasy, soggy and under cooked. The choice of toppings is good, and also dictates price, which isn’t terrible, but in my opinion not completely worth it.

Pros: It’s in a mall; You can grub up on your way to foot locker. It’s a pretty good fast food burger. They don’t nickle and dime you for add ons and condiments. They have crayons so you can write immature things about friends and hang naughty drawings on the wall.
Cons: It’s in a mall. Unless you need to go to foot locker, it’s horribly inconvenient. I have never received great service here. One time it took 30 minutes to get my food. Thats ridiculous. They might not nickle and dime on add ons, but thats only because you’ve already paid $ 7 – 8 for the burger.
In conclusion: They sell hamburgers. Sometimes it’s convenient. Immature drawings.

THERE IS ONLY ONE WORD TO DESCRIBE THE FRIES…
FLACCID!
I don’t understand the popularity of Five Guys, other than to say that you will get a decent burger here, if the carnivore in you has a meat craving that absolutely demands satisfaction. The burgers have a good flavor to them! There is definitely a savory, charred flavor to the burgers. The portions are asininely huge. But most Wisconsinites will appreciate that.
The atmosphere itself is weird. It’s like Jimmy Dean on steroids… red and white checkers everywhere. And then there are the über bright pendant lights that shine down and make me feel like an item on a salad bar. Think picnic meets gas station in terms of ambiance.
Then there are the fries. That is where they could be better. They are plentiful though, for sure. But as I was eating them, I couldn’t help but recall Meryl Streep’s line in that movie Death Becomes Her: «You’re nothing but an impotent, FLACCID clown.» And that’s what these fries were – soggy, and well, flaccid.
If Five Guys can dim down the lights a tad, and perfect their fries, this restaurant could net out five stars as a sit down-​fast food hybrid.
For now, three stars for a joint with tasty burgers, but fries that could benefit from some Viagra.

I first read about Five Guys several years ago in GQ, where they noted the franchise as the fastest growing burger chain. I’ve stopped in for their delectable double patty burgers several times in various locations.
For a big chain, they’re probably as good as you’ll get. There’s nothing overly special about the place other than that all burgers are cooked to order, and the myriad amount of toppings you can add.
Note: avoid the lettuce (This reviewer enjoys bacon, tomato, grilled onions, and pickles with a dash of A-​1) and build at your own risk — the burgers fall apart the more you add.
I should note the fries are pretty tasty — add the Cajun seasoning if you’re looking for a blood pressure spike.
Overall, I’d rather nosh on Sobelman’s, AJ Bombers, or Kopps (among the many other Milwaukee options) but in a fix Five Guys will do.
