I remember going to Five Guys back in the early 1990s when they only had a few locations in Northern Virginia .Amazing how much they have grown in the USA and even the UK
A large fry there has never been that much and I've been to them in many states. There's one about 2 miles from me and a L order is $6.29. That's more than enough for 3 people with the extra fries.
@@IFoundMyBrand I usually get the Regular fry and share b/c the cup plus the rest is far too much. Their burgers are the BEST as far as fresh, never frozen, FAST food goes. I've never had to wait more than 15 minutes. If there's no one to share with I give the dogs the rest.
When I first got Five Guys with my dad and sister we didn’t know what to expect! And I was really surprised of how much fries we had for a large cup! It was a great surprise and I would definitely go again!!
I live in Delaware county and the 5 guys nearest me closed down a few years back. No idea how, their food is great and there was almost always people in there.
First time I was in Five Guys I made the mistake of forgetting I was firstly in the US & second not knowing about this & ordered a large fries - lesson learned! Part of the fun when eating in them in the UK is watching the newbies order their standard McDonalds/Burger King size only to discover the field of potatoes in the bottom of the bag!
@@Blk_345 I didn't think it'd be good but it's quite good. The first time I moved to Germany I was like wtf? Then I actually tried it and I enjoyed it. The problem was I was charged .25¢ for each pack of ketchup or mayonnaise. That was the shocker as it's free in the U.S. Also, German fries are heaven as they're still the best fries I've ever eaten. Don't know what they did to them but I would literally just order fries for dinner and nothing else. Now that I'm back in the U.S., I really do miss the fries.
Ranger77 It’s great, you should try it. It lubes the dry fries... adds creaminess and makes it taste less salty if you think normal salted fries are too salty. It basically becomes a fried potato salad. Add ketchup to taste.
A Commentator when I used to go to five guys back like 6 years ago, they would put a bunch of extra fries in the bag. Now, it’s hardly anything and this is across the board in the various five guys locations I’ve recently been to. Kinda disappointing lol
I used to work at a five guys the reason it's so expensive is because everything is fresh the hamburger meat is never more than 2 days old and everything is fresh and prepped in the morning and they pay their employees pretty well and nothing is kept under a heater
Heck. Now that I think about it, I'd gladly forego the "extra fries" if it brought the price down. Jokes on them though. I don't go to Five Guys often, but when I do I'm make sure I get some "extra peanuts" to go.
That may have something to do with covid. Alot of meat manufacturing sites have been stopped so the food will be more pricey because they need more money to pay their workers. E.g. a bacon egg and cheese on biscuit at mcdonalds used to be around 5 dollars, now its 8-9 dollars.
Char Aznable everything in moderation. I am a male, aged 54, work out 5-6 times weekly and have about 7% body fat. I think that I can have a bag of fries every now and then. Have a nice day.
Uh I’m allergic to peanuts and I’d like to say I have not eaten five guys yet and as I’m typing this my mom is ordering five guys thanks for saving my life
@@thelupso8399 yeah if anything the only type of advertisement we ever did have was sign spinners but we don’t do that any more and even then we didn’t pay anyone to do that
@@eternalbeing3339 I just cannot even do that at the moment here because five guys are opening of the chain restaurant chain is coming very very very soon to Australia and New Zealand
When I lived in the Washington DC area in the 1990s, there was only one Five Guys. The original one. Small place. No tables. A barrel of peanuts in the customer area. There was a bakery next door where they got their buns. On the other side was a Cop Shop. The kind of place where you could buy handcuffs and things. It was always a treat to go there. Just what you would expect. Great burgers and plenty of the best fries in the world. All put in a greasy brown bag. Perfect.
Well, sometimes you can't finish it all, and we do have a big food waste problem in America. But I guess you can just factor in the extras if you know about it, and order a smaller portion to begin with.
Me too 😒. My son has a severe peanut allergy so we don’t go there. As the other reply said tho- some who are allergic can eat them because the oil is not supposed to have the protein in it. But I don’t want to take the chance. And they have bags of peanuts all around the restaurant
@@kimmyc2862 i worked at a 5 guys, and we insure that the peanut allergy is contained, the oil is cookied so the allergens are out, my kids are deathly allergic to peanuts but can have these fries
“...they get shaken exactly 15 times...” No they don’t. I can guarantee you no one getting paid minimum wage is counting to make sure to shake your fries only 15 times.
I work at a five guys restaurant and as a matter of fact we are monitored via surveillance in the kitchen and from personal experience I have seen co workers warned for not shaking the 15 times.
"No they don’t. I can guarantee you no one getting paid minimum wage is counting to make sure to shake your fries only 15 times." Don't you think that if it was such a rarely followed recipe that the marketing team of five guys wouldn't even bother marketing it for fear of people noticing staff not doing it. You have a very naive view of business kid.
They're very expensive compared to most other chains. No combo option, forcing you to get everything individually and you easily end up with a $20+ bill if you get a burger, fries and a drink.
5 guys in California for one single person is like $18 or $20, McDonald's is like $11. I'm not saying McDonald's is better than 5 guys it's like the worst, but 5 guys is expensive as heck.
Yah got 20 pieces chicken nugget and a large fry and a caramel frappe I live in a small town not even 300 people use that McDonald’s any every time they get it mixed up but they know everyone name
Actually, most people who are allergic to peanuts are allergic to the peanut proteins and peanut oil doesn’t have any! So most people who are allergic including me actually are able to eat five guys Fries! Just don’t touch the tables from all the other actual peanuts.
“They only use potatoes from Idaho above the 42nd parallel...” I went to a 5 Gentlemen in SC last weekend and the sign said their potatoes were from VA. Lol
their French Fries, are amazing and fulfilling. it’s like i don’t need anything else to eat. their burgers boi are you hearing yourself right now. their meals are absolutely deliciously good. if five guys wouldn’t be expensive. i will definitely eat their food daily. peace.
Personally, I don't like their fries. And I have asked several times at different Five Guy's stores to have the fries well done and each time they're nowhere close to being crispy. So now I don't even waste my money on their fries.
The people who complain about getting too many fries are like the kids in class who remind the teacher to collect the homework 😒

Me too I went with my 2 sisters and my dad and my sisters god parents we got 7 orders we didnt know that there would be so MANY
Nuclear Toaster Wow!
@@nucleartoaster01 omg lol can you guys finished it tho?
@@Auxiliawack we weren't able to, i felt guilty for the rest the day
@@nucleartoaster01 oh noo, but i cant imagine how much it was so lesson learned ☹
I literally just ate Five Guys and while I was eating, I kept talking about how they give us SO many fries
I love 5 guys food. I'm a Northerner. We have 2 in my area of PA.
I live in butter county PA
I live in Delaware county and the 5 guys nearest me closed down a few years back. No idea how, their food is great and there was almost always people in there.
Theres a good amount of five guys locations in California.
Worst place ever! All grease
First time I was in Five Guys I made the mistake of forgetting I was firstly in the US & second not knowing about this & ordered a large fries - lesson learned! Part of the fun when eating in them in the UK is watching the newbies order their standard McDonalds/Burger King size only to discover the field of potatoes in the bottom of the bag!
Barry McCokiner wtf
moon man chips in mayo is heaven
@@joe.h-7322 mayo with anything is gross lol
@@Blk_345 I didn't think it'd be good but it's quite good. The first time I moved to Germany I was like wtf? Then I actually tried it and I enjoyed it. The problem was I was charged .25¢ for each pack of ketchup or mayonnaise. That was the shocker as it's free in the U.S. Also, German fries are heaven as they're still the best fries I've ever eaten. Don't know what they did to them but I would literally just order fries for dinner and nothing else. Now that I'm back in the U.S., I really do miss the fries.
Ranger77 It’s great, you should try it. It lubes the dry fries... adds creaminess and makes it taste less salty if you think normal salted fries are too salty. It basically becomes a fried potato salad. Add ketchup to taste.
I’ve noticed Five Guys has reduced the amount of extra fries they give in the bag. It’s hardly anything extra in the bag now
Too many Karens complained
A Commentator when I used to go to five guys back like 6 years ago, they would put a bunch of extra fries in the bag. Now, it’s hardly anything and this is across the board in the various five guys locations I’ve recently been to. Kinda disappointing lol
Fps 3582 not the case in any of the five guys I go to. There is an ample amount of fries in the bottom of my bags on a consistent basis
Barely more than the cup was my experience last time as well.
Probably because of the pandemic. Everyone in the restaurant industry has taken a hit in the pocket book and having to make changes.
5 guys 1 french fries 🍟
wtf
ayyyyyyyy, this comment is gonna blow up
Makes sense btw
@@giga8368 yes *8likes* in a month
Kinda awkward when you say you’re craving 5 guys to someone who doesn’t know it’s a burger joint 😆😆😆
Hahahaha. 😂
Well they should know, Unless they are 12 months old
my dad raises an eyebrow at me every time, and he KNOWS its a burger place.
Just say 5G. Only thing is, now people think you want better internet service.
I know what I mean. 😏😏😏😏
"If they aren't complaining, then you aren't giving them enough"
Mutes: *...*
What an interesting subtext for a food marketing ploy
Extra? You are paying extra too. Fries, drink, burger is damn near $20 lmao
😆 that's what i heard
I used to work at a five guys the reason it's so expensive is because everything is fresh the hamburger meat is never more than 2 days old and everything is fresh and prepped in the morning and they pay their employees pretty well and nothing is kept under a heater
Stink Reezy but it’s so good worth the money
@@cynthiaromero4312 When i see one i will try it so i can give my own review
Stink Reezy hope you like it 😋
Some ppl from separate countries measured and found 5 guys actually give 68 percent LESS than what they claim online.
I never figured they were being "generous" their food is outrageously priced, I'm paying for every one of those "extra fries"
Heck. Now that I think about it, I'd gladly forego the "extra fries" if it brought the price down. Jokes on them though. I don't go to Five Guys often, but when I do I'm make sure I get some "extra peanuts" to go.
True lmao
That may have something to do with covid. Alot of meat manufacturing sites have been stopped so the food will be more pricey because they need more money to pay their workers. E.g. a bacon egg and cheese on biscuit at mcdonalds used to be around 5 dollars, now its 8-9 dollars.
@@jv_8483 where the hell are you seeing McDonald's bacon, egg cheese biscuits for 8-9 dollars??
Agreed. Shocking how expensive they are for a fast food burger. In-n-Out does it for, what, half the price? Maybe less!
That’s like having too much money - impossible.
Oh my god you’re right
How about having too much fat is that possible?
Not really
Perhaps the archives are incomplete
Char Aznable everything in moderation. I am a male, aged 54, work out 5-6 times weekly and have about 7% body fat. I think that I can have a bag of fries every now and then. Have a nice day.
“Why five guys gives so many fries” Hey Idgaf send them all my way
Fr
Uh I’m allergic to peanuts and I’d like to say I have not eaten five guys yet and as I’m typing this my mom is ordering five guys thanks for saving my life
Damn don't care
@@Fiftyy then don’t reply
I'm sorry i can't respect this guy he's a fortnite....player
@@moelester8843 So...?
This turned out to be a commercial for five guys.
Unlikely, maybe a personal promotion but Five Guy’s does not advertise. I would know because it was said in my training video.
@@simplyzatoro Really?
@@thelupso8399 I’m an employee I can confirm that what I said is true
@@simplyzatoro ...jeez bro.
@@thelupso8399 yeah if anything the only type of advertisement we ever did have was sign spinners but we don’t do that any more and even then we didn’t pay anyone to do that
I guess "Why Five guys aren't actually giving you extra fries" wasn't as catchy of a title
The first time I had 5 guys I couldnt walk for weeks
Hahaha
Next time, play safe and try 4 guys only.
I wish I knew that you could ask the fries to be "extra well done" before the pandemic hit, I always got fries that were soggy af
Soggy fries are so good 😮💨
Who else is getting this in their recommendations
im craving some five guys right now, and i saw this and my mind was like " dont click it" as im clicking it instinctively
Whoa, whoa, whoa wait... If I want cheese fries, just ask for some cheese on my fries.. whoa
Mind blown 🤯
Wait, really? I did not know that.
I actually work there and we don’t put cheese on fries so don’t ask lol
Nothing like fries made from the best potatoes a farmer can grow with cheap and nasty processed cheese on them. lol
@@waz1167 And do they just dump a handful of cheese in the brown paper bag? Lol with your burger underneath hahaha
Five guys restaurant's chain is coming to Australia and New Zealand as well here I cannot wait for it to come
Luckily, Restaurant Brands isn't involved. Those cheap bastards wouldn't give you extra fries.
@@bobbuilder3748 yeah they do mate
Try the cajun fries 🍟 they are delicious.
@@eternalbeing3339 I just cannot even do that at the moment here because five guys are opening of the chain restaurant chain is coming very very very soon to Australia and New Zealand
Start saving now & by the time they open you might be able to afford a meal!
When I lived in the Washington DC area in the 1990s, there was only one Five Guys. The original one. Small place. No tables. A barrel of peanuts in the customer area. There was a bakery next door where they got their buns. On the other side was a Cop Shop. The kind of place where you could buy handcuffs and things. It was always a treat to go there. Just what you would expect. Great burgers and plenty of the best fries in the world. All put in a greasy brown bag. Perfect.
Imagine how much of a Karen you have to be to complain about too many fries.
*ESPECIALLY five guys fries*
Well, sometimes you can't finish it all, and we do have a big food waste problem in America. But I guess you can just factor in the extras if you know about it, and order a smaller portion to begin with.
@@tommyliu7020 well if you can’t finish it save it for later 🤡🤡
@@tommyliu7020
Yes your absolutely right.
I wish they had the thick steak fries.
@@tommyliu7020 If you cant finish them now, finish them later.
Me: oh they sound good, I wanna try them
“Made in peanut oil”
Me with peanut allergy: 👁👄👁
my friend has a severe peanut allergy and can eat them with no problem, dont worry too much
Me too 😒. My son has a severe peanut allergy so we don’t go there. As the other reply said tho- some who are allergic can eat them because the oil is not supposed to have the protein in it. But I don’t want to take the chance. And they have bags of peanuts all around the restaurant
Same 😩
@@kimmyc2862 i worked at a 5 guys, and we insure that the peanut allergy is contained, the oil is cookied so the allergens are out, my kids are deathly allergic to peanuts but can have these fries
Studies says that it's alright to consume peanut oil even if you have allergies, but consult a doctor to know if it's safe.
I managed to get a free milkshake from there😋
because apparently someone didn’t want it after it was made 😂
gordon ramsey freezes his fries, does something with crunch and texture.
Lots of chefs do it, they turn out so crunchy and delicious.
It makes them really crispy. You just have to make sure they are dry when you freeze them
it seperates water from the food molecules, causing them to be steamed on the inside when they're fried.
IT'S RAAAAAWWW
Yeah, it’s actually better to freeze fries first. That’s why despite how good their burgers are, In-N-Out’s fries lose their crispness so quickly.
Five guys is mad expensive tho. It’s the same price as a restaurant meal. Liek a burger fries and soda is £17
Ben K well yeah it's a... Restaurant
And better than burgers at just about any other restaurant
i havent ate there in forever but i always got salty fries😐
MilkyAcer tuff
Yeah $17 they better give me extra
I work at five guys as a 16 year old and our small fry is bigger than a large fry from McDonald’s
Lol faxs
Hey is it worth working there ?
damn i thought my local five guys was just extra nice lmao
Lol
I've literally never had five guys,
Why is this in my recommended
You watched food related stuff
@@alexsmith1207 I dont tho
To get you to try Five Guys. LOL.
1000 subscribers with no video challenges ??? U need to try it my guy
Mohamed Nagi bro what
When they told me they gave extra fries I thought I was special but now I know it was all a lie...
Lol
“...they get shaken exactly 15 times...”
No they don’t. I can guarantee you no one getting paid minimum wage is counting to make sure to shake your fries only 15 times.
Lmfaooooooo “no they don’t”
I work at a five guys restaurant and as a matter of fact we are monitored via surveillance in the kitchen and from personal experience I have seen co workers warned for not shaking the 15 times.
Actually they really do it for exactly 15 times, and I am pretty sure they are paid slightly more then minimum wage.
Bobby you genious
"No they don’t. I can guarantee you no one getting paid minimum wage is counting to make sure to shake your fries only 15 times."
Don't you think that if it was such a rarely followed recipe that the marketing team of five guys wouldn't even bother marketing it for fear of people noticing staff not doing it. You have a very naive view of business kid.
They're very expensive compared to most other chains. No combo option, forcing you to get everything individually and you easily end up with a $20+ bill if you get a burger, fries and a drink.
Average cost at 5 guys for me is:
$16
Average cost at McD for me is:
$12
I would rather pay more for good quality food.
5 guys in California for one single person is like $18 or $20, McDonald's is like $11. I'm not saying McDonald's is better than 5 guys it's like the worst, but 5 guys is expensive as heck.
That is why I neevr eat at that dump
Meanwhile McDonald's be counting fries down to the gram
Yah got 20 pieces chicken nugget and a large fry and a caramel frappe I live in a small town not even 300 people use that McDonald’s any every time they get it mixed up but they know everyone name
They really do be filling up their fries 2/3 of the way full
😂😂😂
And Heaven forbid u ask for extra sauce for your damn McNuggets....2 packets for a 20 piece.😑
@@jamesbalestrino2670 you have to pay for extra sauce I have money but it should be common sense to give us more then that😤😤
This is why I was so addicted to eating Five Guys. The fries and the cheeseburgers are so good😩
"The quick-service cooks only use peanut oil to fry the potatoes too"
*MOM I CAN'T BREATH*
im alergic to peanuts and nuts i understand this pain
i too want to experience five guys perfect fries
They literally have like 3 boxes of peanuts at the front of the stores, the whole store is peanuts
Actually, most people who are allergic to peanuts are allergic to the peanut proteins and peanut oil doesn’t have any! So most people who are allergic including me actually are able to eat five guys Fries! Just don’t touch the tables from all the other actual peanuts.
@@okboomer4001 yay
At least I'm only allergic to caffeine
Those extra fries mean those EXTRA INCHES on your waist 😂😂😂😂
“They only use potatoes from Idaho above the 42nd parallel...”
I went to a 5 Gentlemen in SC last weekend and the sign said their potatoes were from
VA. Lol
there fries are aligned with the pyramids
their French Fries, are amazing and fulfilling. it’s like i don’t need anything else to eat. their burgers boi are you hearing yourself right now. their meals are absolutely deliciously good. if five guys wouldn’t be expensive. i will definitely eat their food daily. peace.
you are easily sucked in boy you sad person
My phone listens to me I literally work for five guys as an Agm and I’m always talking about it and then this pops up on my feed😂
Personally, I don't like their fries. And I have asked several times at different Five Guy's stores to have the fries well done and each time they're nowhere close to being crispy. So now I don't even waste my money on their fries.
Red Robin got some bangin seasoned fries
In Belgium we have this all the time not just in Five Guys and this is also before that it's just tradition in our country.
When the fries are made correctly to the five guys standard, they're heavenly.
And the tubs that they want you to use for grabbing peanuts are what i use to fill completely to the top with ketchup.
