About Five Guys
Five Guys was founded in 1986 in Arlington, Virginia by the Murrell family — the name refers to founder Jerry Murrell and his four sons at the time (a fifth son was later born, but the name stuck).
The chain has stayed deliberately narrow ever since: no chicken tenders, no seasonal drinks, no value menu built around cutting ingredient costs. Instead, Five Guys built its reputation on fresh-ground beef cooked to order, hand-cut fries dropped daily in-house, and 15 toppings that are always free, regardless of how many you pile on.

| Bacon Cheeseburger | $11.49-$14.39 | 1,010 |
| Little Bacon Cheeseburger | $7.99-$9.29 | 650 |
Regular burgers are double-patty by default; “Little” burgers are single-patty, at a lower price. Every burger comes with any of 15 free toppings.
Hot Dogs
| Item | Estimated Price | Calories (approx.) |
|---|---|---|
| Little Hot Dog | $5.99-$6.99 | 440 |
| Hot Dog | $7.49-$7.99 | 560 |
| Cheese Dog | $7.99-$8.49 | 620 |
| Bacon Cheese Dog | $8.49-$8.99 | 700 |
Five Guys hot dogs are split lengthwise and grilled on the flat top rather than steamed, giving them a crispy, caramelized edge most competitors don’t replicate.
Sandwiches (Meatless & Grilled)
| Item | Estimated Price | Calories (approx.) |
|---|---|---|
| Grilled Cheese | $4.49 | 440 |
| Veggie Sandwich | $6.99 | 520 |
| Patty Melt | $9.49 | 870 |
The Patty Melt was officially added as a permanent standard item in late 2024, moving from a secret-menu request to a listed menu item alongside the Grilled Cheese.
Fries
| Item | Estimated Price | Calories (approx.) |
|---|---|---|
| Little Fries | $4.99-$5.49 | 620 |
| Regular Fries | $6.29-$6.99 | 950 |
| Large Fries (Five Guys’ largest) | $7.49 | 1,460 |
| Cajun Fries (any size) | Same as regular | Same as regular |
Fries are hand-cut fresh daily in-house, not pre-cut and frozen, and a Large order is famously oversized relative to most competitors’ large fry portions.
Milkshakes
| Item | Estimated Price |
|---|---|
| Hand-Spun Milkshake (any flavor combo) | $5.49-$6.49 |
Five Guys offers over 1,000 possible milkshake flavor combinations through free mix-ins like bacon, cookie dough, and Oreos.
Drinks
| Item | Estimated Price |
|---|---|
| Fountain Drink | $2.99-$3.29 |
Five Guys’ Specialty & Services
Five Guys’ specialty is a deliberately small menu built entirely around beef, potatoes, and free customization — no chicken tenders, no seasonal promotions, no value menu chasing the lowest possible ingredient cost. Beyond the standard menu:
- 15 free toppings on every order: lettuce, tomato, grilled onions, grilled mushrooms, jalapeños, and more, all included at no extra charge regardless of quantity
- No formal loyalty program: as of 2026, Five Guys still has no points-based rewards app, unlike direct competitors such as Shake Shack — the app supports ordering and occasional promo codes, but no ongoing loyalty structure
- Catering menu: burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, and sides available in bulk for parties or office lunches, in individual and family-style portions
Allergen Quick-Reference
| Item | Gluten | Dairy | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Burger Bun | Yes | No | Wheat-based; no bun-free option officially listed but can be requested |
| Cheeseburger | Yes | Yes | Bun and American cheese both carry declared allergens |
| Fries (cooked in peanut oil) | No | No | Cooked in 100% peanut oil — a critical note for peanut allergy sufferers |
| Milkshake | No | Yes | Dairy-based |
This is a general reference only — Five Guys fries are cooked in peanut oil at all locations, which is a defining and important allergen fact for the chain specifically. Always confirm with staff and check the official allergen guide before ordering if you have a peanut allergy.
Approximate Nutrition (Protein / Carbs / Fat)
| Item | Calories | Protein | Carbs | Fat |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Little Hamburger | ~480 kcal | 24g | 39g | 26g |
| Cheeseburger (double) | ~920 kcal | 52g | 40g | 60g |
| Regular Fries | ~950 kcal | 12g | 130g | 44g |
A Regular order of fries at Five Guys is calorie-dense enough to rival a full meal on its own, largely due to the generous portion size.
Most Popular Orders
| Item | Estimated Price |
|---|---|
| Bacon Cheeseburger | $11.49-$14.39 |
| Cheeseburger | $9.99-$10.99 |
| Regular Cajun Fries | $6.29-$6.99 |
| Hand-Spun Milkshake | $5.49-$6.49 |
Five Guys vs. Other Better-Burger Chains

| Five Guys | Cheeseburger (double patty) | $9.99-$10.99 |
| Shake Shack | ShackBurger | $8.79 |
| In-N-Out | Double-Double | $5.65 |
| McDonald’s | Big Mac | $5.99 |
Five Guys runs noticeably higher than In-N-Out and McDonald’s on a comparable burger, and slightly above Shake Shack — the tradeoff customers cite is fresh-ground beef cooked in front of them and unlimited free toppings, rather than the lowest possible price.

What Makes Five Guys Different
Five Guys has built its entire identity around doing a small number of things extremely well rather than expanding the menu to chase trends — no chicken, no seasonal drinks, no cost-driven value tier. Fresh-ground beef cooked in an open kitchen, hand-cut fries dropped daily, and 15 always-free toppings give the chain a premium fast-food positioning that customers pay noticeably more for than at In-N-Out or McDonald’s, but with a level of customization and ingredient freshness few direct competitors match.
