I prefer healthier offerings and therefore can only give Five Guys a 4 star rating. Â The taste of the burger is good, but it's too greasy, and the fries are not as flavorful as McDonald's. Â But there is a wide variety of toppings and the service is fast and accurate. Â My children, preteens and teenagers, love this place, even the vegetarian college students like their grilled cheese sandwich. Â A great place for those who don't have to worry about the fat and cholesterol.! Â :)
Review Source:Using Yelp's star description, I'll have to go with a two star rating, my rating might give them three, because they seemed to be a friendly group. Other than that, I ended up here because Burger Point closes at 9 p.m., so after that there's not many choices in the not McD's but not a sit down place niche.
Friendly cashier, but the music is so loud that she got my order wrong, so loud that I didn't hear her when she repeated it back, me being hungry and tired, just muttered back, yeah that's it. It did take a while for my order to come up, all I wanted was a cheeseburger and fries. Ended up with a double cheeseburger, with too much of everything put on it that it was sloppy. Since I wanted one burger, I ate half, problem solved. The fries that everyone raves about were greasy and soggy, I know this happens by the time you get home, fries are never travel well, however I ate a few out of the bag as I walked to my car, and they were that way from go.
Bottom line, skip Five Guys, unless you're really hungry, have no food at home, it's past 9 p.m., nearby grocery stores are closed and don't have time to go to a sit down place. Clark's is open 24/7 across the street. In other words it will take aligning of many stars to bring me back here.
As much as I distrust chain restaurants, Five Guys is (honestly) probably the best place to get a burger and fries in Hyde Park. The food is the same as a Five Guys anywhere, but to be fair they are probably one of the better fast food chains out there - the burgers actually taste like burgers and not ketchup sandwiches, and I've never been served stale fries. The portions are huge, however - the small burger size is more than enough for me and there is no need at all to order a large fry size unless you are sharing with a large number of people as they almost always overfill the cups so that you have extra fries sitting in your bag.
Review Source:At 5 guys you know what you're getting. Â A big sloppy burger with a ton of toppings. Â The meat is well done but somehow still juicy. Â The fries are fresh and seasoned well. Â This is different than your average burger, you're getting a thin crisp on the outside that only a griddle can provide which seals in the juices nicely. Â This isn't a burger for "foodies" (always hated that word) looking for a nice blend of short rib and sirloin, and yes it lacks the complexities of said burgers but when you just want a good burger 5 guys consistently delivers.
And it's funny to me some Chicaogans don't get the peanut thing. Â I guess being from the east coast, where 5 guys started, makes me privy to such knowledge but for those that don't know here's a little history lesson: one of the founders of 5 guys was a pretty vengeful dude and his ex-girlfriend from college, the love of his life, broke his heart by running off with their physics TA. Â She was allergic to peanuts so he decided to make sure she would never get to enjoy the delicious burgers, or even the friendly ambiance, of his restaurants so he mandated each restaurant carry over 5 tons of peanuts on its premises at all times. Â 5 guys may have a dark background but it's fries more than make up for that.
I tried Five Guys twice. Â Not impressed the first time and considered it totally overrated. Â However, after hearing all the hype from friends, I tried it again. Â This time I walked away with an okay-tasting burger and a little more--food poisoning. Â No doubt it was the burger and no doubt Five Guys will NEVER see me again. Â Not even worth it without the e-coli.
Review Source:It's a solid burger joint that provides a tastier alternative to the usual fast food choices. I appreciate that the meat looks like it came from a real animal and is really juicy. However, I've been 3 times and 2 out of those times they messed up the order (put bacon on my burger without me asking and then forgot to include fries). Double check your bag before leaving with take out.
Review Source:The burgers and fries are tasty. The soda machine doesn't really do it for me. It adds a weird flavor to the Coke. The Mr. Pibb tastes ok though. The Ice Tea is delicious too.
Always have had great interactions with the staff too. Great bunch of workers. Also, they keep it nice and clean.
half of these stars are for the pop machine! I never had so much fun at a pop machine its like you are at an arcade buying pop and you want to just stay there and try all the flavor combinations....the best!
As for the burger its way too much but its the best burger in hyde park in my opinion actually the best burger within 6 miles of hyde park which is where I live. I like the fries too they are fresh but too expensive they need a small size becauas the smallest size is enough to feed 2 fat men and a skinny chick... but these burgers are good and juicy and my family loves them... one thing we like to do is  go to treasure island and make our own burgers and just get our fries and drinks from 5 guys....that's ballin on a budget!
You get an amaZing cup of yummy fries!!!! No need to order a large, the regular size is more than enough for your empty belly! My regular cup fed 3 people. We olson ordered a bacon burger and a bacon cheese hot dog. The hit dog was just average... Nothing that u can't make at home- just a Oscar Meyer wiener split down the middle, fried, and binned next to some bacon and sliced cheese. It would have been better if it had a cheese sauce. This place is overpriced, but I do love the occasional homemade tasting burgers.
I have not been inside this location because I ordered online and had someone pick it up- which is a great option.He said that it was hard to find.
Overall, the fries are awesome. The burgers are great- (even though they could use some seasoning).a good choice when you want a burger that tastes fresh and homemade with no extra charges for more cheese or condiments.
Five Guys in Hyde Park! Â The coke machine is definitely unique, but it doesn't seem to mix the drinks too well. Â It's an interesting concept at the very least. Â Aside from that, the burgers are good and the cajun fries are great, but the service here is relatively slow compared to other Five Guys that I've been too.
Review Source:I was really addicted to this place until they kept screwing up my order! I am a faithful patron, but it bothers me that every time a place a order (to go), when I get home my order is not correct. That steams me. So now, I feel like they will never get my order right! If I order Cajun fries, I expect to have CAJUN FRIES! I Â don't like having to eat on the way out the door to make sure it is right and I am tired of returning to the restaurant. It's not worth it anymore!
Review Source:I can't see any reason to give Five Guys less than five stars, one for each guy! I found the prices to be reasonable and the portions to be exceedingly satisfying. The ambiance is simple yet distinct, retro yet futuristic. It's great that you can sit on the patio and watch the neighborhood go by. I am thrilled that this chain is in Hyde Park!
Review Source:Points for style, free peanuts and a really cool coke machine that let's you customize flavors of a large variety of coke beverages; but the burgers are just one level above burger king. Â Nothing exceptional about taste of beef or the way burgers are grilled. Â Hot dog, on the other hand, is split and grilled on griddle, which is tasty. Â I liked the fries, and large fries is truly enormous (more than enough for entire family).
Minus one star for only offering American cheese.
Where have I been? Just noticed this place opened! Checked it out and it was good. The ordering set-up is backward compared to other Five Guys, but whatevs. Everything was fresh, but pricey for a burger joint. However, you get a delicious burger and it is loaded with melty cheddar cheese! Yum-O! If you are on a diet, I suggest ordering the smaller fry and sharing. The large is way too much for two people!
I'm not a fan of the high-tech soda machines, but they get the job done. Love the outdoor seating in the warm weather, too! Definitely going to be a splurge for us Hyde Parkers. It's nice if you can walk, but there were about 4 meter maids patrolling the street parking while we enjoyed our burgers. Oh the humanity!
I'm a fan for sure. I love the Coke machine. It's cool that they had peanuts in line. It's a tad bit pricey for fast food. That was my only issue. The fries were good and there were a ton of them. I just had regular fresh cut fries not the cajun. I am so glad I asked the difference between the regular and little burger. The little was more than enough!! I'll definitely be back for more when I want to spend $12 on fast food dinner :) Don't get me wrong...I will be back. Ha!!
Review Source:Pretty excited that there are some new places popping up on the south side.
There is a Coke Freestyle Machine here. I am now addicted to peach sprite.
Their meat was super fresh-tasting, which is nice for a fast food burger. My burger (little cheeseburger) was very good, except they forgot my grilled onions.
Cajun fries were overseasoned, but you get a hot mess of them for what you pay.
Been wanting to try Five Guys for a while and I must say it was quite delicious!!! Had a "small" burger with everything plus jalapenos and the regular sized cajun fries. I couldn't finish it all in one sitting but I look forward to polishing it off later! The fries were crispy yet tender and oh so hot and fresh! The cajun spice was so good I would go there just for the fries!! So glad I decided to not be a "cheapskate" and try them instead of going home and making my own! The service was good and the workers were very friendly. There was even a nice young lady who grabbed a bag for me to put my complementary peanuts in  as she watched me get ready to dump them in the bag with my other food! The Peanuts are also quite tasty I might add!! I'm not a huge peanut lover and I couldn't stop eating them.  The one thing that I think would make this place really rock would be if they had a real "veggie burger" for the non meat eaters out there. There is a veggie sandwich which is basically a bun and toppings with no "meat substitute".
Review Source:Schererville location - service is great and so are the burgers. They are worth the price. You get to see your unfrozen real beef burger cooked in front of you to order. My husband and I get small burgers and share a regular fry. For the person complaining about peanut oil, research (FDA) shows that most peanut oil does no contain allergens, but I know it's better to be safe. I'm sorry you have an allergy. Â It's amazing that some airlines still serve peanuts. Where could you go if you had a reaction? I'm from Georgia and I like the peanuts in the restaurant. Â I also like that you know where the potatoes you are eating came from. Can't wait for the Munster location to open up.
Review Source:Thank you for coming to the south side!!! I have heard so much about this place and heard of its rave reviews.. so glad i was finally able to taste it.
My hubby and I went last night, and had the bacon burger, and bacon cheeseburger respectively, and shared a large fry. Soooo good! 100% pure beef! And they are US Foodservice customers.. so i was extra proud. (yeah, i work there, lol)
It was however, a little pricey! For the burgers and a large fry it was $19.99 exactly! Wow.. I will be back though, just beware of the prices!
Opened yesterday.  I went for for lunch on a Tuesday.  Very busy.  I ordered small Cajun fries and mini bacon and cheeseburger.  The mini burger was quite large (just as well I did not order the large size).  Everything was delicious.  My only gripe is other customers who order, then sit away from the counter and do not hear when their order number is  called out.  I didn't envy the counter guy who was calling out numbers for these "slow" customers.  I'll happily go back though.  Not sure what the deal is with the other reviewer complaining about peanuts (with their over the top "allergy warning").  He could have figured that out in advance by visiting their website and gone somewhere less tasty (but allergy conscious).
Review Source:I hope everyone has survived the peanuts allergy!
It was the first time that I tasted the Five Guys burgers and I liked! It tastes like real meat! And I really appreciate that I can choose the ingredients that I want in my burger!
The rustic fries are a plus!
This place shines in a neighbor with a few restaurants!
***ALLERGY WARNING***
After eagerly awaiting it's grand opening, I was greeted at the front door of Five Guys by a huge box of PEANUTS which I am deathly allergic to.  In addition, the fries are cooked in peanut oil. Fearing cross contamination with the rest of the  menu, I hot-footed out.
It's a shame that with today's allergy consciousness Five Guys would choose to place peanuts so prominately on their menu. Sadly, I will never return.
