Signature spotlight

What makes Five Guys distinctive

$11.99 · Two patties

Cheeseburger

The signature item: two fresh, never-frozen beef patties (~3.3 oz each) on a sesame bun with melted American cheese. Free toppings added on request. Larger and heavier than typical fast-food burgers.

$6.49 · Cup over-filled

Regular Fries

Hand-cut Idaho potatoes, fried in 100% peanut oil. The bag is filled, then a second scoop is added directly into the bag — the famous "over-fill" tradition. A single Regular feeds two adults.

$6.59 · 10 free mix-ins

The Milkshake (with bacon if you want)

Vanilla base, hand-spun in store. You add free mix-ins from 10 options including bacon (yes), Oreo, salted caramel, peanut butter, banana. Combine as many as you want — no upcharge.

Dietary & allergens

Vegetarian options, peanut warning

Five Guys is moderately vegetarian-friendly with the Veggie Sandwich ($6.49) and Grilled Cheese ($6.49). Fries are vegan (cooked in 100% peanut oil — vegan but high allergen risk).

Peanut allergy warning: Five Guys cooks ALL fries in 100% peanut oil and offers free in-shell peanuts on every table. Cross-contact is unavoidable; customers with serious peanut allergies should not eat at Five Guys.

No dedicated GF kitchen. Buns and shakes contain gluten/dairy. Confirm allergens with staff.

  • Vegetarian: Veggie Sandwich ($6.49), Grilled Cheese ($6.49), Fries (vegan)
  • Cheapest vegetarian meal: Veggie Sandwich + Little Fries ~$11.28
  • Peanut allergy: AVOID — entire kitchen is peanut-oil based
  • Gluten: Bun is the gluten source — most items can be ordered as a lettuce wrap on request
Ordering tips

Tricks worth knowing

Sizing

Order a Little Burger

For most people, a "Little" burger (single patty) is plenty. Saves ~$3 and ~300 calories vs. the standard two-patty burger.

Fries

One Regular Fries feeds two

The famous over-fill means a single Regular Fries order is enough for a couple sharing. Skip the Large unless you're splitting with 3+ people.

Shakes

Stack milkshake mix-ins

All mix-ins are free. Order Oreo + salted caramel + peanut butter in one shake — no upcharge. Adventurous customers add bacon.

Toppings

Free A1 + BBQ sauce

A1 steak sauce and BBQ sauce are free toppings most customers forget about — both excellent additions to a burger.

Cajun fries

Get half-Cajun, half-regular

Some Five Guys locations will mix half regular + half Cajun fries on request — useful if you want both flavors without ordering two cups.

No combos

There are no combo discounts

Five Guys doesn't run combo deals or value menus. The total for a Cheeseburger + Fries + Drink runs ~$22 à la carte.

About Five Guys

From a single Arlington shop to 2,300 stores worldwide.

Five Guys was founded in 1986 by Jerry Murrell and his four sons in Arlington, Virginia — the name refers to the original five Murrell men running the shop. The business resisted franchising for nearly two decades; the chain only started franchising in 2003. Today there are ~1,750 U.S. locations and ~600+ international, with a particularly strong presence in the UK, France and the Middle East.

The chain's philosophy is intentional menu simplicity: burgers, hot dogs, fries, shakes, sandwiches. No salads, no chicken, no breakfast, no kids' meal. Fresh, never-frozen ingredients. Peanut-oil fryers. The over-filled Regular Fries cup is a deliberate brand signature.

Common questions

Five Guys menu — frequently asked questions

How much is a Five Guys burger in 2026?

A standard Cheeseburger is $11.99 nationally; the smaller Little Cheeseburger is $8.49. Pricing varies modestly by market — California, NYC and Hawaii typically run 10–15% higher. Free toppings (15+ options) are included at no upcharge.

What's the difference between a 'Burger' and a 'Little Burger' at Five Guys?

A regular Burger uses two patties (~3.3 oz each, so ~6.6 oz total). A Little Burger uses one patty — same size patty, same toppings, but a single layer. Little burgers run about $3 less. Most first-timers overshoot ordering a regular when a Little is plenty for one person.

How much do Five Guys fries cost in 2026?

Little Fries are $4.79, Regular Fries are $6.49, and Large Fries are $8.49. Cajun-seasoned versions are the same price. The Regular cup is famously over-filled — Five Guys workers scoop extra fries into the bag, so a single Regular order typically feeds two people.

Are all Five Guys toppings really free?

Yes — Five Guys offers 15+ free toppings at no upcharge: mayo, lettuce, pickles, tomatoes, grilled onions, grilled mushrooms, ketchup, mustard, relish, onions, jalapeño peppers, green peppers, A1 sauce, bar-b-q sauce, hot sauce, and more. Add as many as you want, no extra charge.

Is Five Guys more expensive than Shake Shack?

They're close. A Five Guys Cheeseburger ($11.99) is similar to a ShackBurger ($7.69) base price, but Five Guys' patties are larger (~6.6 oz vs. ~4 oz) and toppings are free. Total meal-with-fries-and-drink comes to roughly $20–25 at both chains. Five Guys positions as premium fast food; Shake Shack as fast casual.

What can you add to a Five Guys milkshake?

Five Guys milkshakes start with a vanilla base ($6.59) and you add free mix-ins. The 10 options are: bacon (yes, really), banana, cherry, chocolate, coffee, malted milk, Oreo cookie, peanut butter, salted caramel, and strawberry. Combine as many as you want at no upcharge — bacon + Oreo is a real order people make.

Why are there peanuts on every Five Guys table?

It's part of the brand identity since founding — free in-shell peanuts are stocked in every store as a snack while you wait. They cook fries in 100% peanut oil (no soybean or canola), so the peanut connection is woven into operations. Customers with peanut allergies should avoid Five Guys entirely — the entire kitchen is peanut-oil based.

What's Five Guys' veggie sandwich?

The Veggie Sandwich ($6.49) is grilled mushrooms + grilled green peppers + grilled onions + lettuce + tomato + pickles + sauces of your choice on a toasted sesame bun — no meat, no fake meat. Vegetarian, popular as a meatless option. Add cheese for $1 more (Cheese Veggie Sandwich, $7.49).

How big are Five Guys' burgers compared to McDonald's?

A Five Guys regular patty is ~3.3 oz of fresh, never-frozen beef. A standard Big Mac patty is ~1.6 oz of frozen beef. A Five Guys Cheeseburger uses two patties (~6.6 oz of beef); a Big Mac uses two (~3.2 oz). Five Guys' burger is roughly double the beef weight at a higher price point.

Does Five Guys do combos or value meals?

Five Guys does not offer combos or discount meal bundles — there's no value menu, no app-only deal, no kids' meal. Pricing is à la carte. The chain's philosophy is to keep the menu small and the quality high rather than discount the price.
