Five Guys Burgers and Fries

Besides the usual great food, this location played Peter Gabriel era Genesis «Lamb Lies Down On Broadway» on the sound system. Made this 70’s graduate very happy.

How does a 5 guys close down? Delicious meat and fries by the bushel. All the makings of a successful business. #MissingTheBeef

5 stars because they have amazing burgers, savory fires, and great customer service.
They are fast and friendly at this location!

One of the best burgers in town. I love getting it with their bacon, mushrooms, and A1 sauce. I feel like its a little pricey but it is worth it. Way better than McDonald’s, that’s for sure. Always clean. Service is always on point.

Four words: BEST BURGERS IN CHARLOTTE.
If you have a five guys near you just go and eat a burger and you’ll never have anything else. They have the freshest ingredients and a cool inside that make you feel like you are in a older time. Awesome French fries that come straight from the farm potatoes. Peanuts are around, I’ve never known why but they are enjoyable.

I love this place! I ordered a cheeseburger with onions, lettuce, mayo & ketchup. I also got an order of french fries. It was so delicious, they seriously have the BEST burgers on the planet. The take out man on the phone was also very friendly. I definitely recommend this place to anyone, very good!

I swear to god I rather have five guys for thanksgiving than a thanksgiving turkey, i rather have five guys than a girlfriend, i rather have five guys than a job, i truly believe a five guy’s burger could cure cancer. Some people wish they could be famous, some people wish they could be rich, i just wish i could have a five guys’ burger at least once a week for the rest of my life.

You can never go wrong! If I am absolutely craving a burger, I go here. It’s a slam-​dunk. Their staff is always friendly, the wait is never too long, and everything is fresh made to order!

Who doesn’t like five guys burgers they make a salad burger and it taste really really really good fries are probably better than average parking here at night is bad

Ok five guys serves up a good product for fast food. I will say this location is better than Utahans locations. But the prices are still a bit much.

Don ‘t go crazy with your burger loading. Stuck with maybe three add-​ons and enjoy. Too many toppings = yuck and you won ‘t be able to taste the great beef.
Quite an experience and the brand is consistent where ever you are located.
Service is accurate and pretty fast. Lots and LOTS of options and, as I mentioned in my tip, the beef is quality and not what you could get at the local supermarket.
Portions are huge, so if you are a light eater or with children, go for half a burger or less to share with whomever you are with.

How couldn’t you love Five Guys if you like burgers and fries? It doesn’t matter where we are at, we’ve had Five Guys from Key West to Myrtle Beach and Savannah, we always have a good experience. Their food is just spot on every time!
We love this location because it is close to our house and the people are very friendly. We can order online on the way home and they have it ready when we get there. The app is very easy to use for online ordering and remembers what you order most often.
If in the area and want a good fast food experience please drop by.

Five Guys is Five Star for what it offers: great burgers, great fries, and terrific service! One of their best online services they offer is the ability to put your order in and then run over and pick it up at whatever time you like — great for us busy Ballantyne folk at lunch. Don’t expect ambience here — this is either a pick-​up or quick eat-​in restaurant. Do expect quality food at an incredibly reasonable price.

Perfect burgers, plentiful fries, endless sodas. This is burgers done right.
They always post the sources of there potatoes, sometimes Prince Edward Islands, sometimes Eastern Washington state, even Idaho.
And the music is good!

Dear Five Guys,
See it’s like this… I have this special place in my heart for jalapenos. It’s like my «thing». And you guys… well you… serve them FRESH and it kinda blows my mind.
Whether it’s a hot dog or burger you pile them up and it just makes my heart SO happy. Like the kind of happy that makes me want to always be around you and make sure tell everyone just how awesome you are… like all the time.
And I don’t want to freak you out but… well…there’s more… see you also serve your fries HOT and dripping with grease in a cup spilling over into a brown bag… and I just have to try and eat them. ALL of them. Because… Well, let’s face it they are just too good to go to waste. And I just can’t share… NO! I mean if anyone’s fingers try to come near my bag they better be prepared for battle. Yeah. It’s that serious.
So I just want to thank you for being so freaking awesome. And let you know that even though I may be a bit bias but I don’t care. Keep doing what you are doing.
And I promise to keep raving about your awesome-​ness to anyone that will listen!
Sincerely,
Candyce «Jalapeño Lover» B

Comparing with other «Five Guys» locations, this particular location, in Ballantyne, is average. As one would expect from any Five Guys, you get a good burger and a heaping load of fries in a brown bag, no shocker there. However, for the unique orders, they tend to mess-​up on and the customer service fluctuates from good to meh. Since I only been here during lunch time, they do get busy, but generally still good turnaround serving your food (which yes, they shout your number). The peanuts are not always fresh (gummy taste).
Typically, if I have a choice, I would drive a little further to the Five Guys at the Blakeney Shopping Center, they are a better location.
Be careful how you park in the parking lot, the spaces are narrow!

Best burgers and hot dogs in town. Oh did I mention that they pile on the fries as well? There really is no need to order the large fries, small should do just fine unless you really love fries.

So this is Five Guys. It’s a burger chain that cooks with peanut oil. That’s their thing. Each one offers complimentary peanuts while you wait. The burgers are good and well caloried, yeah I just said caloried. That’s usually all I ever get when I come here. They serve the burger in an old-​fashioned way which is wrapped in foil in a brown paper bag nestled atop the abundant amount of french fries. Probably not the best for to-​go orders as the grease from the fries ruins paper.(See Christine D.‘s review) If you just aren’t in the mood for a Big Mac or Whopper, go here. Then to the gym.

Fries are great… the rest of the menu not so great. Basically, if you don’t eat hamburgers or hotdogs, your only option for protein is a grilled cheese sandwich.
Now, I grew up eating grilled cheese sandwiches & it was one of my fav comfort foods that my dad would make for me (not sure why, but I don’t remember my mom making it).
But in any case, the 5 Guys grilled cheese is nothing special. They really need to do something to give it a little pizzazz, otherwise, even though they have great fries, I don’t have any compelling reason to go back.

So for the longest time I heard how amazing Five Guys was. Whenever some one mentioned the place, all I heard was «ahh, yeah, that place is just amazing!». So, based on all these amazing verbal reviews, we decided to eat here.
To my dismay, I was quite disappointed! My expectations of this place had been talked up like no other, and was quickly shot down when I received nothing more than a double cheeseburger from the likes of Burger King. Yes, it was pretty good; however, it was no gourmet burger.
I will say that the fries were fantastic. When ordering I figure I should probably get two fries because we would all eat them; that was a mistake. Ordering two fries gave me more potato than Idaho produces on a good harvesting year, which left me leaving that place having consumed more fries than what my insides really needed.
Overall we enjoyed the restaurant itself. It was very kid-​friendly, with a casual environment. The food was served quite quickly and the location itself was very clean.
I will eat at Five Guys again; however, I’d be just as happy with a Burger King double cheeseburger as I was with the Five Guys burger –fries not included…
