Five Guys Poway Reviews
As expected, delicious hamburgers & fries. Service was excellent. Note to new customers: the normal hamburgers have two patties. The "Little" hamburgers have one pattie. Also, they give you tons of fries. You don't need to order fries for each person. For 5 people we should have only got two Regular size fries. One thing I really liked was that they put numbers on the hamburger wrappers in the same order as the receipt. It made it easy to quickly hand the food out to everyone.
Best burger ever! Best fries ever! Five Guys does it all. The burger is outstanding. And the fries, unlike In and Out, taste as fresh as possible and also taste like fresh potatoes. Greatest fast food place ever.
Very good fries here. I ordered the double patty by mistake so wrapped up half to take home. Not much on the way of service because they don't really have waiters.
Had a hamburger all the way and little fries. The burger lives up to the fame! It even looked and smelled so delicious. The fries were plentiful and awesome. This five guys gets a big thumbs up from me.
Afternoon intense mountain, bike ride with hurricane Hillary on my side. The customer service here was great, especially the food! Thanks y’all!!

4 of us stopped by for early dinner. They had a bit of trouble finding change for $100...once they did they came and apologized for the delay and gave us a small gift for the trouble. That is customer service!
What’s not to love (except the prices maybe). Their food is really good and you get what you pay for here. The burgers are great and prepared any way you like. The shakes are fab. The fries are fresh, tasty and plentiful. They purposefully add extra to the bag so I like that. They are a bit oily but that is OK because you’re not at Five Guys for your health, right? Overall well worth an occasional stop in!
Best bacon cheeseburger and excellent shakes. The frys are great and they give more than you need so plan to share and save $$. Free drink refills by the Coke machine dispenser with perfect mix. This is ***Way way way *** better than In-n-Out!! Not even comparable!! Shakes are super good too! I had chocolate Oreo cream and cookie with whipped crème !! I was celebrating my last day of work! I was very very satisfied!!
Friendly people and great burgers. Tea is not brewed in house though, it is the machine dispensed.

Love that even on a diet restriction they are very accommodating which makes this a primal spot for me and my husband! Location is very easy to find with ample parking. Outdoor and indoor seating with plenty of room for larger groups. Don’t forget your complimentary peanuts either!
No dine in, do have more than 5 tables of outdoor seating.
Very good tasting burgers! Love how they let you pick what you want on the burgers. I went with a bacon cheeseburger with grilled onions and mushrooms with jalapeno to add some kick.. It was great!! Chocolate milkshake was also delicious.. Its not a huge shake but very good.. Place gets 4 stars because the wait for the food was pretty long (not that thats a bad thing because I want it fresh) but once my food was made it sat up there for awhile before I finally said 4 minutes later is that number 22 and the guy goesd ummm yeah sorry.. So he just never called my order and the food sat for at least 4 minutes... That's ok though cause it was still warm and so good! 🍟 are average..

Five Guys in general is doing what most restaurant chains are doing, which is diminishing the size of the portions of particularly their top bacon cheeseburger, the amount of ground beef that they give you; while trying to be deceptive about it; while still trying to hold onto the image of being the top burger chain. Sadly, given the fact that the entire industry is participating in this deception of the public, Five Guys following suit just leaves them in the position they’ve already been in, which is probably the best national chain of burgers. But, that still means they’re diminishing their product while increasing their price to $14 for the big money burger that used to be anywhere from six dollars to seven before it increased to nine something. Then it was $12 and now it’s $14. At some point you have to realize when you go to a burger joint to get just a burger and the fries without the drink and it cost you $22 & change their constantly using every imaginable excuse to gouge the price while diminishing the amount of food they give you. Do we really think inflation and circumstances are impacting restaurants for ever in this way? Does it ever let up? P.S. in the selections below, they indicated “bacon double cheeseburger” is one of the options. But Five Guys doesn’t have an item that they call a bacon double cheeseburger. They have a burger that previously looked like it had two full-size patties on it that most people think of as for a bacon double cheeseburger, but it was actually referred to as the bacon cheeseburger. That was foresight inti the price gouging that they would engage in because they always called it the bacon cheeseburger, even though back in the early 2000s it was two full-size patties. It appears the patties have been sized down: they are noticeably thinner and that’s a common thing you find with burger restaurants. The way they get you is they claim they’re giving you double burger, when they restaurant is given m quarter pound or even a half pound burger patty and slice it horizontally so you get 2 x 1/4 pound patties that amount to, basic 1/2 pound burger for $14. You better be getting a half pound of beef on that burger at least!
It's been quite a while since I last visited. I ordered a cheeseburger and regular-sized French fries. The portions of both the French fries and the hamburger were generous.

This place used to be better when it 1st opened but now things have really gone downhill, the burgers are supposed to come well done as you can see in the picture of mine that is medium to medium rare when I asked for more mustard they made a face and handed me a packet and I had asked for a proper side because I like a lot of mustard and they made a face and slowly honored my request, the food took 27 minutes for a Burger. It's extremely overpriced for what you get, the only reason I'm giving them 2 stars is because the cajun fries are delicious. Also the Men's restroom was completely unacceptable! Why would I want to come back here?

Food quality has degraded quite a bit. The buns were clearly old as they were breaking. Meet tasted weird.
It has been a while since I have been back to 5 guys. I recently ordered a little hamburger meal, the chocolate shake was awesome, the fries were OK and the burger was not good, I don't think they even put any salt on the burger before cooking.

Over priced $20... Burger/ drink no combo! Over rated... In and Out is better quality and better value.
Far from the 5 guys I used to know. It's the little things that make 5 Guys worth the money you pay. That being said when you fail to get the order right it really kills the experience. Also noteworthy is that the excess amount of fries we have all come to expect, might as well be a half filled bag of potatochip air. Don't expect to get your money's worth here.
Don't waste your money. It was super expensive and definitely not worth the money. Order over the phone, went picked up, was ridiculously priced, and when I got home, the burgers were soggy 😫 and just fell apart when eating. I had to use a fork. we ordered 2 cheeseburgers, 1 veggie sandwich and 2 mini burgers, 1 large fry, and 4 shakes, and it was $97. $111 with a tip. I guess i should have gone to In & Out for half the cost. I will never go back again. But I will say they had good fries 🍟

Placed an order through their app, came to pick it up like 30 minutes later, just to be told they couldn't make my order. Extremely disappointing and likely won't be back to this location.
I have been here once before and while I do like how nice the restaurant itself is, the food they have SUCKS. I was left very unsatisfied with how my burger and fries tasted, and considering how expensive the food is, makes that even worse. So unless you want to waste money and be left disappointed, don't come here, it's not worth it
