What makes Five Guys different?
Five Guys was founded on the simple philosophy of cooking burgers and fries to perfection. While that might sound easy, a lot of work goes into making sure Five Guys can keep up with this tradition.
The company’s stores never have freezers, and each burger is cooked fresh and from scratch in-store. Potatoes for the company's fries are hand cut, every day, and the company even displays where the potatoes come from. In many cases, this can be just a few miles away.
Five Guys allows you to customise your burger, and add as many or as few of their 15 free toppings from the Five Guys menu as you like. According to Five Guys, this means that there are 250,000 combinations to choose from. That’s a lot of burgers, and it would take you 684 years to eat if you had one burger a day!
How do I order at Five Guys?
If you are placing your order in-store at Five Guys you will find a counter to place your order. Once you have placed your order, you will be able to watch your food being cooked fresh in the open kitchen, which is usually behind the counter. You will have to wait at the counter for your food to be brought to you before taking it to your table, or taking it with you if you are ordering takeout.
The Five Guys menu has a choice of just four simple burgers to choose from:
- Hamburger
- Cheeseburger
- Bacon Burger
- Bacon Cheeseburger
But these can be topped with up to 15 toppings, allowing you the creative freedom to create your own burger.
In addition to burgers, Five Guys also serves Beef Dogs and Sandwiches. All of the items on the Five Guys menu can be accompanied by fries, with can either be spiced with Cajun or with a little bit of salt.
The company’s milkshakes have also earned a cult following, and in a similar fashion to their burgers, you can customise your own milkshakes. You can create any combination you want, from tried and tested strawberry and banana, to anything involving bacon. Yes, that’s right bacon in a milkshake - if you dare!

Do Five Guys cater for vegetarians?
While Five Guys are probably best known for its hamburgers and meat products, the company does serve some products on its menu which are suitable for vegetarians.
In many locations, the company does not offer a vegetarian or plant-based alternative to beef patties, which rules out having a vegetarian burger at Five Guys. However, there are still a couple of options for vegetarians on the Five Guys menu.
Many of the company’s sandwiches are suitable for vegetarians, and the company’s grilled cheese sandwich and veggie sandwich with cheese are popular options with customers. As with the company’s burgers, the sandwiches can be customised by adding as many of the company’s 15 free toppings as you want, all of which are suitable for vegetarians.
Is Five Guys spicy?
As standard, Five Guys food is not spicy, but the great thing about Five Guys is that you can customise your food, meaning you can make it as spicy or as mild as you want it.
For example, all of the company’s burgers, hot dogs, and salads can be served with the sauce of your choice. If you want a mild-tasting burger, you could choose mayo or ketchup. But if you wanted to spice things up a bit you could choose mustard or the company’s hot sauce, to give your food a kick.
Similarly, the Five Guys menu even offers you a choice to have mild or spicy fries. The standard Five Guys style fries are not spicy, but they also offer Cajun Style fries, which are the same freshly cooked fries, but with added Cajun spice.
No, Five Guys does not have a children’s menu but don’t worry there are still options for children. As standard, Five Guys burgers are served with two beef patties, which may make them too big for children. To cater for children, the company offers its signature burgers with one beef patty, if requested, which will be in a more child-friendly portion.
