Five Guys Santa Cruz Reviews
Great experience. The staff was welcoming and friendly, and the service was quick. Everything tasted great and the restaurant was clean. Shoutout to the fry guy, he was amazing!
I love the lettuce wrapped burgers here. The staff is always very friendly, too. My only feedback is that the tables could be a bit cleaner. I'm still giving 5/5 stars for the great food and service!
Five Guys should've put it's competition out of business long ago. People you must try it, you will never settle for less again.
Pretty good food but wow was it expensive..I was not expecting that. I bought food for my wife and 2 little kids and it was $55. I didn't even order for myself, otherwise it would have been nearly $70. Not exactly fast food prices, but they do give you ALOT of fries so that was nice.
The only Five Guys in Santa Cruz since the one at the Capitola Mall shut down, with your standard Five Guys experience. The fries are good and plentiful, and the burgers are delicious with whatever vegetables you want on top. There's other options as well such as a vegetarian sandwich and hot dogs.
Fast service from a friendly staff. Clean bathrooms with access code. The restaurant is on a corner on the south side of Santa Cruz's Pacific Ave pedestrian shopping area. Good people watching. Close street parking and a paid lot half a block away.
The best burger I've ever had. If you're going to a place like this, you want a burger; And a good one. Well, be happy to have found this place because they've got the best one out of everywhere I've been. Price is worth it. Staff is also professional and polite.
This place is awesome!!! The burgers are sooooo good. The fries........OMG the best fries I've had in years!!!! So good! The service was awesome, too.The staff looked happy. I really enjoyed the options of what you want to put on your burger, sauteed onions, for example, yum-my. They have this big box of salted shell-on peanuts in the middle of the room, that you can eat for free, and they were really good too.
came in to use up some gift cards i’d received. one kept declining but the cashier who was helping me was chill about it- i wish i got their name. they gave me sooooooo many fries too. i ate more fry than burger & i felt like i was going to explode after my meal. the burger was seriously decadent too. of course this is five guys so it was pricey but it wouldn’t be a bad idea to treat yourself here if you’re craving fast food.
No problems with service or atmosphere, only that good was so greasy that the bag was soaked after 15 minutes. Also the fry portions were quite good.
Solid burger. Best Cajun fries I’ve ever had at any Five Guys over many states and years. Cooked crispy yet still with potato in the frys and not the usual extra greasy and floppy fries. Great food, lousy metered street or paid lot parking. Oh well.
Disappointing experience today. The buns were cold, and although every order comes in a box, the inside was a complete mess — everything tossed around and unorganized. Really unfortunate… no luck today.
Fries were excellent and crispy and hot. The chocolate/peanut butter milkshake was tasty. The cheeseburgers had good meat but the bread was greasy and soggy. Why do they wrap up the burgers in foil, when we were dining in? The bread wouldn't have been as soggy if they hadn't wrapped the burgers. One of the two soda machines wasn't working. We paid $45 for 2 cheeseburgers, 1 regular fries, 1 soda and 1 milkshake. Plus $2 for an hour of parking. Overall, a disappointing experience. Not nearly as good as In-n-Out burgers!
This place is wild. The burgers here have no integrity. They're falling apart when you get them. And there's way too much hamburger (and no one loves hamburger more than me) for a single serving. Also the buns are weak. They're practically dissolving into the mushroom morass that coats the burger patties. I'm honestly shocked that this is a chain that people eat at. Y'all are crazy. Good staff though, they were nice and I believe if they were given better buns they could turn things around. And +1 star because I couldn't tell if the grit in my mouth as I was eating was from spending time at the beach or was part of the meal.
the freestyle diet coke is always busted here. unforgivable sin. burgers are ok, but go to pizza my heart
About a week ago, I went to eat at Five Guys in downtown Santa Cruz, and when I arrived to order, one of the guys was super friendly. He told me that someone would be there in a moment to help me take my order, but he was busy. He called another employee who was in the back doing something else and asked her to help me, but she never took my order. She just gave me a dirty look. Then the guy came and took my order. 5 stars for Billy K's help! The manager of this building needs to train his employees properly. If they don't want to work, he should hire new employees who actually want their jobs.
The gentleman of the color of the grill was too impolite and racist, when I entered the store I asked him for the bathroom code and he told me that I was not going to buy anything WITHOUT KNOWING THAT I WAS GOING TO ORDER A HAMBURGER BUT FIRST I HAD TO USE THE BATHROOM. ALREADY WITH THAT SITUATION I DECIDED TO LEAVE THE PLACE. IT WAS RACIST TO SEE THAT I AM A LATINA WOMAN!!!!!
