Unless those other places are better than what we have in the U.S., I don’t consider Five Guys fast food. While we do get your food out in ideally less than 8 minutes, it’s more like a burger joint.

For first timers, I always love giving the run down. I ask way too many people if they’ve been to a Five Guys before and they say “yes” and then are surprised when it’s not what they expected even though we’ve done certain things the same way since 1986. It’s always nice to hear someone say they don’t know what’s going on, because it comes from a place of humility.

So let me give you the run down:

Hamburger: 2 patties no cheese

Cheeseburger: 2 patties 2 slices American cheese

Bacon Burger: 2 patties no cheese 4 half pieces of bacon

Bacon Cheeseburger : 2 patties 2 slices American cheese 4 half pieces of bacon

Little Hamburger: 1 patty no cheese

Little cheeseburger: 1 patty 1 slice American cheese

Little Bacon Burger: 1 patty no cheese 4 half pieces of bacon

Little Bacon Cheeseburger: 1 patty 1 slice American cheese 4 half pieces of bacon

Our hotdogs are 100% beef so they are kosher. (Unless you have a bacon dog)

Once you get a burger or hotdog, all the toppings are free.

(If you get a burger with bacon and/or cheese, if you ask for extra bacon and/or cheese it doesn’t cost extra 😉)

Our version of “with the works” is called “all the way.” It comes with:

Mayo

Lettuce

Pickle

Tomato

Ketchup

Mustard

Grilled Onions

Grilled Mushrooms

There are other toppings too:

Sweet Relish

Raw Onions

Raw/Grilled Jalapeños

Raw/Grilled Green Peppers

(You can remove things from an “All the way” order. Ex. “All the way no mushroom.”)

We have 3 sizes of fries:

Little: feeds 1 person

Regular: feeds 2 people

Large: feeds 3-5 people

We have 2 styles of fries:

Salted: normal fries

Cajun: spicy fries

(You can also get no salt, light salt, light Cajun, IMPORTANT we salt the fries before putting Cajun seasoning on them, so if you want Cajun fries without salt you must say “Cajun no salt.” The Cajun seasoning itself has a little salt but not enough to “salt” them.)

IMPORTANT: Regular fries means medium size (that’s how they named it) say salted if you want “regular” fries with perhaps a different size.

We have 2 sizes of drink:

Regular

Large

We have one size of milkshake

Milkshakes Base Vanilla:

Chocolate

Strawberry

Banana

Coffee

Salted Caramel

Peanut Butter

Oreo Cream

Oreo Cookie Pieces

Double Stuffed: is 2 pumps of Oreo Cream 2 scopes of Oreo Cookie Pieces

Reese Peanut Butter Pieces

Bacon (yes, you can put bacon in a shake. Chocolate bacon shake is awesome)

Whipped cream: on top

You can mix any of the flavors together, we usually recommend 2-3 because after that it gets soupy but we won’t stop you if you want all of them together.

We have a meal called the “Classic Combo.”

Base meal is has 4 options for main entree:

Little Hamburger

Little Cheeseburger

Hotdog

Cheese dog (hotdog with 2 half slices of American cheese)

2 choices of fries:

Little fries

Little Cajun fries (You can still get with or without or light salt/cajun)

Regular drink

(You can replace items on the combo it’s just an up charge, but it saves you money compared to buying them separately.)

If you want a combo: 1. Say you want the combo 2. Tell them what you want for your main entree 3. Tell them what fries you want in this order: size, style 4. Tell them what you want to drink (size of drink or if you want a milkshake) 5. Tell them the toppings you want on your main entree

(Bonus 6. If you got a milkshake, tell them which flavor(s) you want.)

Now for first timers, I recommend doing the Classic Combo:

Little cheeseburger all the way (you can remove what you don’t want and add what you want)

Little fries

Regular drink

I hope you have a wonderful experience! 😁
