Five Guys Menu 2026: Prices, Calories & What to Order

Five Guys has never tried to be everything to everyone. No chicken tenders. No seasonal pumpkin spice anything. No value menu built around the lowest possible ingredient costs. What the chain has delivered consistently since Jerry and Janie Murrell opened the first location in Arlington, Virginia in 1986 is a short, focused menu executed with fresh ingredients and a customization system that most fast food chains still haven't figured out.

Five Guys separates itself from competitors through four non-negotiable standards: fresh beef that is never frozen, 15 free toppings with no upcharges, hand-cut fries cooked in 100% peanut oil, and handspun shakes with up to 13 free mix-ins. No other major fast food chain matches all four simultaneously.

Five Guys serves four hot dog options priced from $5.99 to $8.99. All are 100% all-beef franks, split lengthwise and flat-top grilled for a caramelized exterior. The same 15 free toppings available for burgers apply to hot dogs.

The split-lengthwise grilling method is worth noting. Five Guys opens the hot dog flat on the grill, which creates a crispy surface on both the inside and outside of the dog. The result holds toppings more effectively than a standard rounded frank. If you want jalapeños, mustard, and grilled onions on a hot dog, this is the format they were built for.

Five Guys fries come in two styles (Regular and Cajun) across three sizes (Little, Regular, Large). A Regular Five Guys fry easily feeds two people, most first-timers order too many. Cajun style costs the same as regular and adds a spiced seasoning blend at no extra charge.

Five Guys charges more than traditional fast food because of six structural cost differences: fresh never-frozen USDA 80/20 chuck, hand-formed patties, daily hand-cut fries, 100% refined peanut oil, 15 free toppings baked into the price, and a kitchen model with no freezers.

Here is what that costs in practice:

• Fresh beef — 80/20 USDA ground chuck costs roughly 30% more than frozen patties used by lower-price chains
• Peanut oil — Refined peanut oil costs approximately $2/lb vs. $0.50/lb for standard soybean oil
• Hand-cutting fries daily — Labor cost that factory-frozen fry programs eliminate entirely
• 15 free toppings — Roughly $3–$4 of ingredient value included per order at no upcharge
• No freezer footprint — Stores are designed without freezer space, meaning higher daily ingredient costs and more frequent deliveries

Five Guys prices have increased significantly since 2020, with the Hamburger rising from $6.39 to $8.89+ and the Bacon Cheeseburger increasing from $8.49 to $14.39 at some locations — a 69% increase over six years. Price increases reflect inflation in beef, peanut oil, and labor costs across the US.

Hours vary by location. Airport, university campus, and stadium locations often operate on different schedules. Five Guys is closed on Easter Sunday, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day at most locations.

Walking up to a Five Guys counter for the first time is more overwhelming than it looks. The menu board is deliberately minimal. Here is exactly what to do:

1. Decide: Regular or Little? Regular burgers have two patties. Little burgers have one. Most first-timers do not need the double.
2. Ask for a toasted bun — Not always the default. A toasted bun holds up against juicy toppings and makes a genuine textural difference.
3. Order fries carefully — A Regular Fries at Five Guys easily feeds two people. A Little Fries is the correct solo serving.
4. Choose Cajun or regular — Same price, same calories (roughly), totally different flavor profile. Cajun style is worth trying.
5. Order your shake at the counter — Not as an afterthought. Shakes take 3–5 minutes and everything is made to order.
6. Eat the fries immediately — Hand-cut fries decline faster than frozen fries once they cool. Five Guys fries at their peak are excellent. Five Guys fries 20 minutes later are average.
