Five Guys in Philadelphia

“I've always thought that Five Guys had excellent burgers and fries. I went to this particular store one day at lunch and I have to say out of all the Five Guys I have been to, this Five Guys is something special. Not only was my lunch the best burger I have ever had but the service and the atmosphere was second to none. I would recommend this place 100%. This was hands down the best experience I've ever had at a fast food burger place, I guess that is why 3 weeks later im still thinking about it😄. Thank you again.“

“I was in town on business dining options in this area have a lot to be desired. You can eat cheap or you can eat expensive the skies the limit I was looking for a good hamburger and some fresh french fries five guys is a winner every time my patty melt was delicious juicy flavorful well seasoned, and the french fries are to die for fresh delicious tasty they also have the best soda fountain around the Barqs cherry cream soda is so refreshing almost addictive
overall, my dinner was delicious and satisfying. The price is a little steep but then again you are getting fresh never frozen quality food with a happy smile…. Enjoy !!!“

“Managed to snag a table quicker than I expected, given the weekend crowds. The usual tasty burger experience, though the sheer volume of people meant it was a bit of a scramble getting out. Still, can't complain when you get what you came for.“

“This is a solid location I prefer over the center city chestnut street location by miles.

I got on a bus and ordered my food, 8 min later, I arrive, tell them my name, wash my hands, and by the time I come out, they are already handing me my cup.

Before I could decide what drink I wanted, food was up.

Hot, fresh, generous with the fries.

Sure the price has gone up in recent years, but so has every other burger in the city, whether it’s fast food, a dive bar, or a dine-in restaurant. The quality of fries for the price is ultimately what wins me over for 5 guys- I love a fresh, from scratch fry that is slightly crisp, and pillowy on the inside. Places like Picnic are charging NINE DOLLARS in 2026 for comparable fries. At “local” restaurants, the nasty Sysco coated fries have taken over menus the last decade and they’re downright disgusting - they don’t taste like potatoes, they taste like fryer oil and they never have that Maillard browning of a damn good fresh fry. Sysco fries are so widespread I have to now look at Google review pictures before ordering fries because it’s a waste of every cent spent. Fresh cut, soft, and stupid generous - it’s clearly a russet potato. And Heinz ketchup? They’re not cutting corners here! And yes, the burger is great too! Fresh toppings, meaty, H O T T O G O!

Comparable burgers without fries and drink are more expensive in most of the city. The only place that has 5 guys beat is fountain porter but I’m not about to trek halfway across the city for a burger and fries. (But if you will, do so.)

Now the main reason why I’m even putting in effort for this “fast food review” - whoever was on expo (stocky young bull with a beard) last night must be the MOD, and if he’s not, he should be. Not only was he getting the food out, and communicating with the kitchen and guests about whose food is up, he was also managing the dining room from his post. If I owned a restaurant, I’d give him my card. Someone who not only does his job, but does it damn well, beyond his pay grade.“
