Best Value Picks on the Menu
If you’re watching your budget, here’s where Five Guys gives you the most for your money:
Little Hamburger ($8.61+). A single-patty burger at the lowest price point on the menu, and it still comes with unlimited free toppings.
Regular Fries ($6.89). Five Guys is known for portion sizes well beyond what the cup suggests; a “regular” order is often enough for two people to share.
Veggie Sandwich ($5.74+). The cheapest item on the core menu, built from grilled mushrooms, onions, and peppers rather than a beef patty.
Free toppings. Since every burger, dog, and sandwich can be loaded with as many free toppings as you want, ordering a smaller size and customizing it heavily is often better value than upgrading to a bigger burger.
How Five Guys Compares
Five Guys sits closer to the “better burger” segment than traditional fast food, alongside chains like In-N-Out and Shake Shack, rather than competing directly with McDonald’s or Burger King on price. Where it stands out is customization: Five Guys offers a long list of free toppings on every order, giving it more build-your-own flexibility than most competitors, and its fries are famously oversized, often overflowing the cup by design. Prices run noticeably higher than traditional drive-thru chains, but that reflects fresh, never-frozen beef and hand-cut potatoes rather than pre-portioned, frozen ingredients.
About Five Guys
Five Guys started in 1986, when Jerry and Janie Murrell gave their teenage sons a choice: start a business or go to college. The family chose the former, opening a small carry-out burger counter in Arlington, Virginia, for around $70,000. The name came from Jerry, Janie, and their four sons at the time, Jim, Matt, Chad, and Ben, though a fifth son, Tyler, was born the following year, rounding out the “five guys” the name still refers to today.
The Murrells spent the next 15 years or so perfecting a simple formula: hand-formed burgers cooked on a flat-top grill, fries cut fresh from whole potatoes and cooked only in peanut oil, and no walk-in freezers on-site. By 2001, the family had grown the business to five sit-down locations around the Washington, D.C. area, and in 2003 they began franchising for the first time. Growth from there was rapid. Five Guys expanded from roughly five locations to more than 1,000 between 2003 and 2012, and the chain now operates upward of 1,700 restaurants worldwide, still majority-owned by the Murrell family.
Why Five Guys Is Famous
Fresh, never-frozen beef. Five Guys has never used walk-in freezers at its locations, relying instead on coolers and daily deliveries of fresh beef.
Unlimited free toppings. With well over 250,000 possible topping combinations, customers can build a burger exactly the way they want at no extra charge.
Peanut oil fries. Hand-cut, never-frozen fries cooked only in peanut oil have become one of the chain’s most recognizable signatures.
Free peanuts while you wait. Bags of peanuts are available to snack on in the dining room, part of the brand’s casual, no-frills atmosphere.
FAQs
All patties are fresh, hand-formed, and cooked to order on a flat-top grill, typically well-done, to keep the flavor and texture consistent from location to location.
Yes. Any burger, hot dog, or sandwich can be built with an unlimited selection of free toppings, so you can put together your own version of nearly anything on the menu.
Yes. The Veggie Sandwich comes with grilled mushrooms, onions, and green peppers along with lettuce and tomato on a toasted bun. A “Burger Bowl” or lettuce-wrapped version is also available for a lower-carb option.
Five Guys fries are cooked in 100% refined peanut oil, which poses a risk for anyone with a severe peanut allergy. The fries themselves are gluten-free, and “no bun” options are available for guests avoiding gluten; it’s worth checking the chain’s current allergen guide online before ordering if you have specific concerns.
