Reviews for Five Guys in Athens, GA
So delicious! We shared a regular size fries - perfect for 2 people and each had our own burger. The price is a bit steep, but... the food is delicious so probably worth it. It?s not something we could afford often, but it was a nice treat. Read more
I love Fries here with Milk shakes (Vanila)
I love me some Five Guys. Straight-up delicious burgers, perfect fries (make sure to put some malt vinegar on them in the bag... and shake it up) and all the toppings you could want. And the staff here at the Athens/Oconee store are efficient andfriendly. So why 3 stars? Because in the last 2 months or so the prices have crossed over from "a little pricey, but worth it"to "This is a joke, right? " Look, I get that things cost more, and you need to pay folks. But a cheeseburger (no fries ordrink) at a quick service restaurant should not cost 11 dollars. My most recent trip saw a $40 bill for 2 people. Is that gonnabreak my budget? No. But for $40 we could eat at a full service chain restaurant, and possibly even a nice locally owned place.And even have something other than a burger. Read more
Great burger and tasty fries. But it does come at a price. On the plus side, it truly is a fresh and delicious burger. The... ingredients are high quality and you certainly get generous portions. If you have not eaten here before do not order individualfries. Share one! It's not new news, but it's worth reminding you. Your burger is always made fresh, and it's made the way youlike it. Lots of choices of add-ons and condiments. The fries are well seasoned and delicious. They're not crispy fries, butfor some reason they're really good. This location has plenty of seating and lots of parking. There is an outdoor seating areaas well. They also have one of those De-luxe soda machines (down here we call them Coke machines because everything's a Coke-you just have to choose a flavor). So you can choose from hundreds of flavors of empty calories. There are only two downsidesto five guys that I can determine. First is value. It is certainly delicious and high quality. But it comes at a price. I thinkit's worth it, some people don't. And if you're in a hurry and want to grab a quick lunch. This is probably not the place. It'snot that it's a long wait, it's just a longer wait than a standard burger joint. But you also don't get a standard burger! Oh,if you have a peanut allergy, run for the hills. I don't, and I love the roasted peanuts that are available. Read more
Greatest burgers and fries I've ever eaten. Shakes not so much and way too expensive. Service is usually fast and reasonably... friendly. Prices are crazy but you get what you pay for. Read more
My first trip to any Five Guys location and was surprised at how good it was! The burger was fresh and prepared exactly as I... ordered it and the French fries were some of the best I?ve ever had. I wish they offered a combo deal because it?s on theexpensive side when you add fries and a drink. Read more
Amazing food as always, and amazing service! This location is always clean when we go, and service is always good. Location is... also fantastic. Five Guys is amazing! Don't get the large unless you really, REALLY mean it. Same with jalapenos, because theyare fresh and very potent. Such good food! Cajun fries are my friend. We have been here with friends a number of times, and it'salways a good experience. Be careful if you have a nut allergy, as there are dried peanuts available for anyone to grab, nearthe front where the line is. My husband's sister is severely allergic to peanuts and can still go, but she is very careful andshe's older so she doesn't have to be watched. UPDATE: My husband and I visited this location again now that he has beendiagnosed with Celiac disease. He cannot have any gluten, even in trace amounts, or he gets very sick within hours. We orderedbunless burgers (in a bowl for him and a lettuce wrap for me), and they were AMAZING. the staff handled our order with care,marked it on our ticket, and I watched them change gloves to avoid cross contamination. So glad we were able to eat here withouthim getting glutened by accident! We even had the Cajun fries and he was absolutely fine. Read more
