Five Guys Burgers and Fries

Overpriced. Indifferent service. Wendy’s food quality at more than double the price. Very limited menu. No reason to go here.

I’d actually say 3.5 stars. The food is always great. The restaurant is typical fast food restaurant: mostly clean, nothing exciting, etc. They have the Coca Cola Freestyle machines, which to me are nice but un-​necessary. This place, in general, needs to get over it’s pretentiousness. It’s very similar to an In N Out Burger in terms of menu options and quality. However their pricing is out of line to me for fast food. $ 14+ for a double cheeseburger (maybe 0.33 lb patties total), small fries & large drink? C’mon now. Granted, the burger and fries are both very good, fresh made to order and larger than average fast food joint, but it’s just excessive. In N Out can offer a very similar experience for nearly half the cost. Bottom line here is it’s a quality meal, but some sticker shock involved hre. There are cheeseburger options that are just as good and filling for less money in the area (Meatheads, Culvers, Portillos, etc). Makes me long for In N Out to be out here in the MIdwest.

Five Guys never disappoints!
Great burgers
Peanuts while you wait
100+ soft drink combos

The burgers were great. They cook them right in front of you. My entire order took about 7 minutes. They had free peanuts to eat while you waited. Overall, I think it’s worth the money if you’re willing to spend between $ 10-​$ 12 for a burger, fries, and a large drink. I’ll come back.

I like the small menu, they focus on burgers, and they excel at making an excellent burger! The restaurant itself felt very average — average décor (for a diner style) and average staff. More enthusiasm from the staff would make for a better dining experience.

I like FIVE GUYS in Bolingbrook and the city. We went to this FIVE GUYS yesterday for lunch we liked it. But somehow I found a long piece of light color hair in our fries. We were hungry and I didn’t want to cause drama so I just let it go. We have black hair so we know it wasn’t our hair. Plus I pulled it out among the mountain of fries we got from our order. I mean it is the same Five Guys flavor and mountain of fries but whenever you hair in your food it is a turn off.

Five guys is pretty groovy … the hamburgers are good … everything is fresh … the cajun french fries are nice and spicy … and the touch screen coke machine is a marvel. two complaints …
1.) the music … just a tad loud but no big deal.
2.) the restaurant is a pig sty … when we were there it looked like 24 cranky cub scouts had just finished a food fight. There was all sorts of «stuff» all over the floor and the tables. I would give this place four or five stars if they had someone cleaning the tables and sweeping up the floor. They just weren’t that busy where someone couldn’t have been assigned to detritus patrol.

I really like the burgers here, and what I love about Five Guys is that they offer a smaller burger. I don’t eat like a bird, I like food, but I swear the small burger was made for me. Ya see, I’m not a fan of burgers, or ground beef, in general. I’m not a raving maniac about animal rights, burgers just ain’t my thang. Understand?
Anyway, we ordered 2 burgers and fries. The guy behind the counter recommended we order 1 large fries, instead of 2 regulars. Fries are my thang. I love potatoes and carbs and fries, so I generally do not like to share. However, this was an awesome recommendation, because we saved a few bucks, and the large fries were more than enough for us to share.
There are a lot of toppings to choose from, and they don’t charge extra for every little thing. Mustard, giardinera, tomato, etc. If you just want a burger patty with cheese, it might not be worth your money.
This is another of those «gourmet» fast food burger joints, so don’t expect to get a deal here. Good for an occasional quick dinner if you’re running errands in the area.
Speaking of the area, this spot is littered with teenagers since Neuqua Valley High School is right around the corner.
Also, there are peanuts all over the place and shells on the floor. I love me some free peanuts, but if you have allergies you may want to avoid this place.

I wish I could do 3.5 stars but I’ll round up because of the Magical Coke Machine!!!
On the whole, I’ve had better burgers but my cheeseburger was good. I’ve had better fries (I tried Five Guys and Cajun and liked both) but they were some of the best I’ve had… I’ve never had so many Coke choices (I tried Vanilla Barqs, Peach Sprite, Cherry, Orange and Raspberry Coke) and that was really why I went!
We thought our service was polite and fast… it was all good the one detail that makes me hold back stars is the price! I had a small drink, «regular» (which I’ll admit was a LOT) fry order and a small hamburger and I spent over $ 10.
Maybe I’m spoilt but I think that’s kind of high for one fast food meal… but I’ll probably go back because of the siren song of flavored drinks! :)
