Five Guys - Santa Clarita

The burgers and fries at this place are amazing, though the prices are a bit steep. As a result, I don’t come here often, but whenever I crave a truly great, no-frills burger, this is my top choice. I’ve even run into Mark from The Mark Brian morning radio show a couple of times while I was there!

The burgers were amazing, cooked to perfection and loaded with fresh ingredients. The service was excellent; Zea was particularly warm and attentive! The fries were delicious too, with a generous portion not only in the cup but also a hefty amount in the bag.

The burger patty was excellent, boasting a high fat-to-lean ratio that contributed to its great flavor, though it was slightly crumbly. The relish was a nice addition, something I would definitely choose again, but the grilled onions didn't meet my expectations. In-N-Out caramelizes theirs until they’re golden brown, while Five Guys presented theirs still white and a bit crunchy. On the other hand, the fries were exceptional. At In-N-Out, the fries can sometimes be undercooked, especially during peak hours, leading me to request them "well done," resulting in fries that are crunchy rather than the crispy texture I prefer. Five Guys’ fries were crispy on the outside, larger in size, and kept their skin on. Overall, it was a very good experience, but I doubt it’s worth the 80-mile drive for a repeat visit. In my opinion, In-N-Out still has the upper hand when it comes to burgers, but if I could have Five Guys fries with my Double-Double, I would definitely go for that combo.

Pro: Great burgers. Tasty, love the veggies. Fries are pretty good and the amount per order is crazy big Con: cost. 2 burgers, 1 large fry and 2 drinks with cost btw 30-35 bucks. It’s a bit much

Good price for a great burger (my photo is not the best but believe me, it was delicious) the amount of fries you get is amazing!
