“Crown Point’s Five Guys turned out to be exactly the kind of stop you hope for on a long drive. It was easy to get to, welcoming from the moment we walked in, and served the kind of food that reminds you why this brand has earned such a loyal following over the years. We pulled in for a late dinner after letting the grandkids sleep a little too long, and by the time everyone woke up, they were more than ready to eat. Thankfully, Five Guys delivered in every way.

My wife ordered a classic Cheeseburger, prepared in the fresh, made‑to‑order style that has been part of Five Guys’ identity since their early days in Virginia. Our grandchildren split a Grilled Cheese Sandwich and a generous serving of Fresh Cut Fries, and they devoured every bite. Those fries deserve special mention. Five Guys has built a reputation around cutting potatoes in‑house every day and cooking them in pure peanut oil, and the result is consistently delicious. No matter which location you visit, the fries come out hot, crispy, and perfectly salted. Crown Point kept that tradition alive, and I enjoyed them just as much as the kids did.

Even though it looked like the dinner rush had wrapped up before we arrived, the dining area was spotless. Tables were clean, the floors were swept, and everything felt well cared for. The staff were incredibly kind and friendly, the sort of team that clearly takes pride in both the food and the atmosphere. By the time we finished eating, most of the crowd had cleared out, and the whole place still felt warm and inviting.

Five Guys has always focused on doing a few things exceptionally well, from burgers and hot dogs to shakes and their long list of toppings that let you build your meal exactly the way you want it. This Crown Point location carries that history forward with the same quality and consistency that made the brand famous.

For us, it was the perfect stop. Great food, great service, and a clean, comfortable place to unwind after a long stretch on the road. We would happily return the next time we pass through.“

“Best beef around! Prices is great the fries are amazing they are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Hana helped me out because I’ve never been there before and said the Italian beef was good and she did not miss! Great staff and great food 10/10 will come again!“

“Each time I go to Chicago or nearby I’m seeking out Portillo’s. Italian Beef or Polish sausage.“

“My wife and I love going to portillos, tonight we went there and the place was in terrible disarray! Filthy floors bathroom and the garbage cans were all overflowing with everything from beverages to food and ketchup all over the place. this is so hard to believe that the place has been open a little longer than 1 year and looks like that. stay away go to merrillville location because they actually do keep it super clean.“
