Five Guys

Awesome food! Great fries! Burgers are super too

the only thing they fry is French fries so there is no way they can get contaminated. the buns go I a different grill than the burgers. I've eaten there many times. never got sick.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Horrible. I didnt get a chance to try five guys since I was diagnosed a year and a half ago, but i remembered how delicious everything was there so I was excited to get some fries. Needless they were not worth the aftermath. I had a horrible stomach ache that night and sure enough i started breaking out in my rashes the next day and have been suffering since. Do not eat here if you are gi or celiac. My mother eats gluten free for her thyroid disease symptoms so places like this dont bother her. I will never go back, plenty of places make delicious fries and burgers that are a lot safer.

Celiac friendly?

No

Got a lettuce wrap burger and fries, both were delicious and had no gluten symptoms! 10/10

I visited based on reviews and I was really craving fries. When I got to the counter, I mentioned that I had a gluten allergy and the person helping me didn’t respond like she knew what I meant. Then I asked what precautions they took for food prep and she said the employees change their gloves but that was about it. I could see that each burger was on its own foil but then I watched someone smear mayonnaise on a bun then put the utensil back in the Mayo tub. I asked about the fries, if the fryer was dedicated. She looked at me like I had lost my marbles. I explained cross contamination and she finally said that nothing else is fried in the fryer. So I ordered fries, no burger. But then saw that employees were handling the fries with their (gloved) hands. I flagged someone down and asked if they changed gloves to handle allergy foods. She assured me that the fry person was the only one that touched the fries and they didn’t handle the other food but quickly said she would change her gloves and get my fries. She said food allergies are very important to them and they take it seriously. All that to say, I think it matters who takes your order but I’m not sure I would jump at the chance to eat here again, for a burger at least. Fries were delicious.

Nice and helpful staff who are always professional. Clean facility. Standard Five Guys wait times and food, which I guess is the highest compliment one can give a fast casual chain. Haven’t gotten sick from any Five Guys location ever.

My husband told the person at the register we had a gluten allergy on two of the burgers we ordered. They always put them in a separate bag. When my husband got home all the burgers were in one bag and mine had cheese even after my husband said no dairy. I called the manager Avery and he said “sorry, we are so busy “ He offered to remake it, but living 20 minutes away, we just threw it in the trash. So disappointed. The places I xan safely eat at are becoming less and less. Not sure why management doesn’t take an extra 10 minutes to train employees. Grrrrr.
