Five Guys San Diego Reviews
I walked in and I was greeted by a nice and friendlystaff. The burgers taste homemade. Every bite is full of flavor. The bacon on the burger is nice a crispy and the veggies are fresh. The Cajun fries are a must try. These fries don't need any ketchup in my opinion. Overall a great experience. Don't forget to get some complimentary fresh roasted peanuts!
Great burgers with loads of toppings & the cajon fries are amazing!
I love coming to this five guys, I love coming in because of the customer service that is offered here. The people that work here really know how to make you feel special.
I’ve been craving a good burger snd five guys always does me right! I loved the vibes in here, the staff were so friendly and nice and the food was made with love! This location is now my new fave
The best burger in the world the best milkshake I've ever tasted a huge bag of lightly salted fresh cut french fries excellent service when we walked in everybody smiled and said welcome what can we get for you today! The smile stayed on their face the whole time we were there and they were super friendly and very helpful great experience especially from Samantha, very nice!
Couldn’t have been happier with my meal. Food was fresh and delicious. Staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. And Xavier makes the best shakes!
We came here Sunday (3/24) evening to grab a quick bite to eat. We were from out of town and this place happens to be a few short blocks (within walking distance) from where we were staying at. The outside of Five Guys is similar to other Five Guys. The location of this particular outfit is next to a couple of other eateries and a couple of cosmetic stores. Parking can be difficult judging by the limited parking spaces available. The inside of this location appears clean and smells clean which is good. Food ordering is at the front counter. It took about 15 minutes for our food to be ready. We all got burgers and side of fries to share. The burgers came out very good as well as the Cajun fries, both tasted like other five guys burgers at other locations. At the time when we came, it was around 5pm and wasn’t particularly busy. There were a few other patrons dining at the same time we were there. So 5pm on a Sunday evening is a good time to come here.
To me it was outrageously expensive 45 dollars for 2 burgers a shake and small fries. The quality of the burger : priceless ❤️
am a food driver, and | regularly: come to a specific restaurant for pickup. Unfortunately, every time I visit, my order is extremely delayed, and this has caused me a lot of frustration. Please address this issue so that the
They did not provide ketchup for the delivery order despite what I selected and then laughed when I contacted them to address the issue.
Hi there , I tried calling your location multiple times, and each time it took nearly an hour for someone to answer the phone. When someone finally did answer, I was met with rudeness and no real help at all. Please understand, I am not asking for anything for free—I am paying with my own hard-earned money. The least that can be done is to listen, show some respect, and try to resolve the issue. Unfortunately, none of that happened. Customer service like this is unacceptable, especially in 2026. It feels like the staff is not willing to do their job, and as a result, my food and overall experience were completely messed up. I hope this feedback is taken seriously, because this level of service does not reflect well on Five Guys. Have a great day, Sina
So expensive! I can’t remember the last time I had to backtrack on what I ordered and deduct items from the order but when I was told $24 for a burger, fries, and shake I was like nope not today!
Had me wait about 30 minutes to find out they already had my order made and was sitting. The guy tried to gaslight me and said that they were calling me, but I had been inside the whole time waiting. Then he said the fries were fresh but you can guess how that turned out
Service was not any better than Jack in the Box. I was hopeful the food was going to be like other Five Guy Experiences. Disappointing my burger was drenched in mayo made for a soggy burger. My son’s fries super burnt. My wife’s order not tasty at all with missing bacon. They need new cooks and better management. Try a different location this one is not clean, low quality burgers and customer service is not existent. Go to In and Out better taste and better service.
Unsanitary! Dirty tables, dirty bathroom, and my order was still wrong. Two workers went from the register to handling food. One was pressing down buns and adding condiments with the same gloves he was wearing as he worked the register! The other woman got bacon pieces with the same gloves she wore working the register. I had to ask her to change her gloves and start my milkshake over. I had to ask for my table to be wiped. When I requested well done for my burger, I was told that all of their food is made well done. I ordered a vanilla shake with bacon, and was told, the order is a bacon milkshake. Person taking my order kept getting it wrong and the bill kept rising. A person apologized who may have been a manager, but all of the conditions of the place were in her presence. I love tomatoes. I ordered tomatoes, but there were no tomatoes on my burger or receipt. The burger was very good minus the ton of pickles. The food was way overpriced! They did not care about points of contact at all! I was excited about my Five Guys dinner, but wished I would have passed this location by. YUCK!!!
Over priced, soggy burger served with a hot coke?! Yeah no thanks. It's never a good idea to wrap a burger in aluminum foil like a burrito 🤦♂️. You need to reconsider that method and please stop serving hot drinks to customers, at least give us some ice in a cup. Nothing worse than a "soggy burger with a hot drink"too wash it all down. Prices are ridiculous for what you are eating. I'd had a $30 dollar burger that tastes like the $30 it asks for. ✌quantity✌ over quality ... 🍔 🆘️
