I’ve been a Five Guys regular since back when there were only a handful of locations on the East Coast, and to this day, no other burger chain has me pulling up to the parking lot the way they do. The menu is small. The prices aren’t the cheapest. But the food? Trust me on this one — there’s a reason this place has a cult following.

Five Guys Menu Overview
Five Guys started back in 1986 in Arlington, Virginia, when Jerry and Janie Murrell opened the very first shop and named it after their five sons. For about 15 years, it stayed a local D.C.-area secret. Then in 2003 they started franchising, and the whole thing exploded.
Today, there are over 1,700 Five Guys locations across more than 30 countries. The menu, though? Pretty much unchanged. That’s kind of the whole point.
Here’s what makes the menu different — fresh, never frozen 80/20 ground chuck cooked to order on a flat-top grill, fries hand-cut from whole potatoes every single day and double-fried in 100% peanut oil, and over 15 free toppings you can pile on as much as you want. No combo meals. No dollar menu. No chicken sandwiches. Just the basics done really, really well.
I’d put Five Guys squarely in the mid-range to premium fast-casual bracket. A Little Cheeseburger and a Little Fries will run you around $11–$12 before tax. A loaded Bacon Cheeseburger combo with a shake easily climbs past $20. It’s not McDonald’s pricing — but the portions are massive, and you actually feel full afterward.
The vibe inside is exactly what you’d hope for. Red and white tiles, sacks of potatoes stacked along the walls, bags of free peanuts by the door, an open kitchen so you can watch your burger cook. Casual, loud, friendly. It’s the kind of place where you walk out smelling like fries and not even mad about it.
Five Guys Full Menu With Prices (May 2026)
This is the heart of the article — the complete Five Guys menu with prices for 2026, broken down category by category. I’ve cross-checked these prices across the official site and multiple corporate-owned locations, but remember, individual stores set their own pricing, so your local spot might be a few cents off either way.
Burgers
The burgers are why most people come here. Here’s the thing about ordering — a “regular” burger at Five Guys is a double patty. A “Little” burger is a single patty. I learned this the hard way on my first visit when I ordered two regulars and ended up rolling out the door.
| Menu Item | Description | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Hamburger | Two fresh-ground beef patties on a toasted sesame bun | $8.40 |
| Cheeseburger | Double beef patty with melted American cheese | $9.20 |
| Bacon Burger | Two patties topped with crispy applewood bacon | $9.20 |
| Bacon Cheeseburger | The fan favorite — double patty, bacon, and cheese | $10.60 |
| Little Hamburger | Single patty, same toasted bun, lighter meal | $5.40 |
| Little Cheeseburger | One patty with melted cheese — best value pick | $6.10 |
| Little Bacon Burger | Single patty plus crispy bacon | $6.20 |
| Little Bacon Cheeseburger | One patty, bacon, and cheese — my go-to | $6.90 |
⚠️ Prices may vary by location. Always check your local Five Guys store or their official app for the most current prices.
Hot Dogs
Now here’s something most people don’t know — Five Guys hot dogs are split lengthwise and grilled on the flat top, which gives them this crispy, caramelized edge you can’t get from a steamer. They’re 100% all-beef, no fillers. Honestly underrated.
| Menu Item | Description | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Hot Dog | Grilled all-beef frank on a soft toasted bun | $5.99 |
| Cheese Dog | Classic dog topped with creamy melted American cheese | $6.49 |
| Bacon Dog | Grilled hot dog wrapped in crispy bacon | $6.99 |
| Bacon Cheese Dog | The full meal deal — bacon, cheese, all the works | $7.99 |
⚠️ Prices may vary by location. Always check your local Five Guys store or their official app for the most current prices.
Sandwiches
This is the lighter, meatless side of the menu. I send my vegetarian friends straight to the Cheese Veggie Sandwich — it’s stacked with grilled mushrooms, onions, green peppers, lettuce, tomato, and pickles, and it’s actually filling.
| Menu Item | Description | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Grilled Cheese | Two slices of American cheese melted on a toasted bun | $4.49 |
| Veggie Sandwich (Cheese Veggie) | Grilled veggies with cheese on a toasted bun | $4.59 |
| BLT | Crispy bacon, lettuce, and tomato on a toasted bun | $5.79 |
| Patty Melt | Beef patty with grilled onions and cheese on grilled bread | $8.89 |
⚠️ Prices may vary by location. Always check your local Five Guys store or their official app for the most current prices.
Fries
Look, I’ll say it — the fries here might be the best part of the menu. Cut from whole potatoes daily, double-fried in peanut oil, served with the skin on. They give you so many fries that the bag is basically half-full of “extra” scooped on top. A Regular Fries can easily feed two people.
| Menu Item | Description | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Little Fries | Solo serving — still bigger than most chains’ “large” | $5.49 |
| Little Cajun Fries | Small fries dusted with spicy Cajun seasoning | $5.49 |
| Regular Fries | Five Guys-style hand-cut fries — feeds two easily | $6.19 |
| Regular Cajun Fries | Regular size with that bold Cajun kick | $7.69 |
| Large Fries | Massive shareable portion for a hungry crew | $8.25 |
| Large Cajun Fries | Large size, full Cajun heat | $8.25 |
⚠️ Prices may vary by location. Always check your local Five Guys store or their official app for the most current prices.
Milkshakes
Here’s what I love about Five Guys shakes — every single one starts from the same hand-spun vanilla base, and then you pick up to two free mix-ins from a list of about 13 options. No upcharge for adding bacon. No upcharge for Oreo crumbles. That’s wild.
My personal go-to combo is Salted Caramel + Bacon. Don’t knock it till you try it.
| Menu Item | Description | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Vanilla Shake (Base) | Hand-spun vanilla shake — start here, build your own | $5.79 |
| Chocolate Shake | Rich, deep chocolate, smooth and creamy | $5.79 |
| Strawberry Shake | Classic sweet strawberry shake | $5.79 |
| Banana Shake | Smooth banana flavor with real fruit notes | $5.79 |
| Oreo Cream Shake | Vanilla base blended with Oreo crumbles | $5.79 |
| Peanut Butter Shake | Thick, rich, ridiculously creamy | $5.79 |
| Caramel Shake | Velvety with that buttery caramel sweetness | $5.79 |
| Bacon Shake | Sweet meets salty — try it once, I dare you | $5.79 |
| Reese’s Cup Shake | Chocolate and peanut butter combo | $5.79 |
| Coffee Shake | Permanent menu addition — bold coffee flavor | $5.79 |
Free Mix-In Options: Bacon, Oreo Crumbles, Peanut Butter, Banana, Chocolate, Coffee, Salted Caramel, Strawberry, Vanilla, Malted Milk, Cherry, Pineapple, Whipped Cream
⚠️ Prices may vary by location. Always check your local Five Guys store or their official app for the most current prices.

Breakfast Menu (Select Locations)
Heads up — Five Guys breakfast is not available at most locations. It’s mostly served at airport, university, and travel-hub spots, usually before 11 AM. If you find one that does breakfast, here’s what to expect.

⚠️ Prices may vary by location. Always check your local Five Guys store or their official app for the most current prices.
Free Toppings (No Joke — Truly Free)
This is where Five Guys absolutely smokes the competition. Every topping below is 100% free. No three-topping limit. No premium upcharge. You can put all of them on if you want. Trust me — I’ve seen people do it.
- Mayo
- Lettuce
- Pickles
- Tomatoes
- Grilled Onions
- Grilled Mushrooms
- Ketchup
- Mustard
- Relish
- Onions (raw)
- Jalapeños
- Green Peppers
- A1 Steak Sauce
- Bar-B-Q Sauce
- Hot Sauce
Kids Menu
Five Guys doesn’t have a separate “kids menu” with its own branding, but the Little Hamburger ($5.40), Little Cheeseburger ($6.10), Hot Dog ($5.99), and Grilled Cheese ($4.49) are all kid-perfect portions. Pair any of them with a Little Fries and a small drink and you’re at a reasonable family-meal price.
Catering Menu
For groups of 10 or more, Five Guys offers a Build-Your-Own Burger Bar and Hot Dog Bar with all toppings on the side. Pricing is set by the local store, but typical bundles run $11.99–$14.99 per person depending on the package. For orders over 105 items, you have to call your local store directly.
Five Guys Prices Compared to Competitors
A lot of people look at the Five Guys menu and ask, “Wait, why is this so much more than McDonald’s?” Fair question. Here’s the actual side-by-side.
| Restaurant | Avg. Burger Price | Avg. Combo Price | Value Rating |
|---|---|---|---|
| Five Guys | $9.20 (Cheeseburger) | $19.50 (Burger + Reg Fry + Drink) | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Premium |
| Shake Shack | $7.89 (ShackBurger) | $15.50 (Combo) | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Premium |
| In-N-Out | $4.65 (Cheeseburger) | $9.40 (Combo) | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Value |
| McDonald’s | $4.79 (Quarter Pounder) | $9.99 (Meal Deal) | ⭐⭐⭐ Budget |
| Burger King | $5.49 (Whopper) | $10.49 (Meal Deal) | ⭐⭐⭐ Budget |
⚠️ Prices are approximate national averages and vary heavily by location.
So yeah — Five Guys is roughly double McDonald’s pricing. But here’s my honest take after eating at all of these chains for years: Five Guys gives you nearly twice the food. The patties are bigger, the toppings are unlimited and free, and the fries portion is straight-up absurd. When I split a Regular Fries with my wife, we never finish it. So when you do the math per ounce, it’s actually closer than you’d think.
Most Popular Items at Five Guys
After dragging friends and family to Five Guys for years, these are the items people order over and over again. If you’re new to the menu, start here.
- Bacon Cheeseburger ($10.60) — This is the king. Two fresh patties, crispy bacon, melted American cheese, and whatever toppings you want. It’s the menu’s most-ordered item for a reason.
- Little Bacon Cheeseburger ($6.90) — My personal recommendation for first-timers. Same flavor as the full-size, half the meat coma.
- Cajun Fries (Regular, $7.69) — If you’ve never had these, fix that today. The Cajun seasoning is bold but not stupidly spicy. Eat them immediately while they’re hot.
- Oreo Peanut Butter Milkshake ($5.79) — Add Oreo crumbles + peanut butter to a vanilla base. Thank me later.
- Hot Dog ($5.99) — Hugely underrated. The crispy grilled edges make this completely different from a stadium dog.
- Patty Melt ($8.89) — A beef patty with grilled onions and cheese on grilled bread. It’s the secret menu favorite that finally went official.
- Veggie Sandwich ($4.59) — For my vegetarian friends, this is genuinely satisfying. Grilled mushrooms make it.
Five Guys Nutrition Information
Five Guys is real with you about nutrition — they post full info in-store and on their site. But let me be straight: this is not “diet food.” A Bacon Cheeseburger with regular fries and a shake is pushing 2,200+ calories. Here’s a quick snapshot of the most popular items.

Five Guys Secret Menu
There’s no formal secret menu — Five Guys staff don’t have a hidden cheat sheet. But there are a handful of off-menu builds that regulars order all the time, and any cook will make them for you.
- Patty Melt — Used to be secret menu, now official. Beef patty between two grilled cheese slices.
- Double Grilled Cheeseburger — Order a Cheeseburger, then ask for it on grilled cheese instead of a regular bun. Gloriously messy.
- Burger in a Bowl — Any burger, no bun, served in a bowl with all toppings. Solid for low-carb/keto.
- Chicago-Style Hot Dog — Order a Hot Dog with mustard, relish, grilled onions, jalapeños, tomatoes, and pickles. Pretty close to the real deal.
- All-the-Way Burger — Just say “I want all the toppings” and they’ll load it up.
- Free Peanuts — Look for the bag-stacks or peanut bins by the door. Grab a cup. They’re literally free while you wait.
Five Guys Deals, Discounts & Rewards 2026
Here’s the honest truth — Five Guys doesn’t do deals the way most fast food chains do. There’s no value menu, no $5 combo, no Wendy’s-style 4-for-$4. But there are still a few ways to save.
- Five Guys App promos — Occasionally runs free fry codes, BOGO deals, and birthday rewards. Worth installing.
- No formal loyalty program (yet) — As of May 2026, Five Guys still doesn’t have a formal points-based rewards system. They keep saying it’s “in development.” Don’t hold your breath.
- Military discount — Many locations offer 10% off for active military with ID. Always ask — it’s not advertised.
- Student discounts — Hit-or-miss by location. Some near college campuses offer 10–15% off with a valid student ID.
- Gift cards — Buy a gift card during the holiday season — Five Guys runs occasional bonus card promos (e.g., $5 free with a $25 card).
- DoorDash & Uber Eats promos — Third-party delivery apps frequently run Five Guys-specific discount codes for new users. Stack them when you can.
How to Order at Five Guys
Five Guys keeps it simple — but here’s how to navigate ordering like a regular.
- Dine-in — Order at the counter, grab a number, and they’ll call you when your food is ready (usually 7–12 minutes).
- Drive-thru — Available at select locations (mostly newer builds and standalone stores).
- Online ordering — fiveguys.com or the official Five Guys app. Pickup or delivery.
- Five Guys app — Download from the App Store or Google Play. Saves your order history, lets you re-order favorites in two taps.
- Third-party delivery — DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub, and Delivery.com all carry Five Guys. Expect 30–45 minutes plus delivery fees.
Pro tip from a regular: Always ask for a toasted bun. It’s not the default at every store. Toasting holds up against the toppings and makes a huge texture difference. Costs nothing extra.
Pro Tips for Dining at Five Guys
These are the little things that turn a good Five Guys meal into a great one. I’ve picked these up over years of being a regular.
- Order the Little size, not the Regular — The Little burgers are still huge for most people. You’ll save 3–4 bucks and not waste food. Same goes for fries.
- Grilled onions over raw, every single time — They get caramelized on the flat top and add this sweet, deep flavor. Best free upgrade on the menu.
- Eat your fries IMMEDIATELY — Five Guys fries are amazing fresh and pretty meh after 15 minutes. If you’re getting takeout, eat them in the car.
- Don’t go overboard on toppings — Free or not, more isn’t better. Three to four toppings is the sweet spot. I once loaded 12 on and the burger fell apart.
- One Regular Fries feeds two people — Don’t both order a Little. Just split a Regular and save $4.
- Always ask for a toasted bun — Free and dramatically better than untoasted.
- Free peanuts while you wait — Most U.S. locations have peanut bins or bags by the entrance. Free snack while your food cooks.
- Skip the bottle, get the fountain — The Coca-Cola Freestyle machine has 100+ combos for less than a bottled drink. More flavor, less money.
Conclusion
That’s the full Five Guys menu with prices for 2026 — every burger, hot dog, fry, sandwich, and shake on the board, plus the off-menu builds and pricing tips I’ve picked up after years of going. Yes, it’s pricier than McDonald’s. No, it’s not the cheapest fast food. But what you’re paying for is fresh-ground beef cooked in front of you, hand-cut fries dropped daily, free toppings without a catch, and a shake program that lets you build whatever weird combo your heart wants.
For me? It’s worth it every time. The Little Bacon Cheeseburger plus a Little Cajun Fries comes in around $13 — still cheaper than a sit-down restaurant and ten times more satisfying.
Have you tried Five Guys lately? Drop your go-to order in the comments — I’m always looking for new combos to try, especially weird shake builds. And if you found this menu guide helpful, save it for the next time you’re staring at the menu board wondering what to order.
