I ordered the one patty burger while all my friends had the regular burger with random toppings. At five guys, a regular burger gets you two patties. I love that, in the wake of all those gourmet burger joints that charge an extra 50 cents - $1 for each topping, 5 burgers lets you add on all the extra toppings for free here. Including grilled mushrooms and sauteed onions!!!!!!!! That alone is worth one star.
The patty is made on a flat top grill and isn't pre-made. It could have been more flavourful/juicy but when eaten together w everything else on the burger it was alright
Luckily I didn't order it with fries because holy moly they give a lot!! Two of the guys ordered it and the four of us couldn't even come close to finishing it all.

PIcked up a cheeseburger to go on Friday night. I opted for the single patty, which was enough for me. My husband and friend each got the double patty. The burger was good, the toppings were typical (but that's all I need - I'm not looking for anything fancy). The bun was better than you'd get at a multinational fast-food chain burger joint, but comparable to other places like Licks.
The fries were great, and they give you tons - even when you order the smaller size. I see from reviews that the Cajun fries are great too, so I'm wishing I'd tried those - maybe next time. Yes, there will be a next time - it was a satisfying burger, and I would always choose a fresh burger like this as my preference for a fast food meal. It didn't WOW me, but I liked it.
The decor is definitely that of a fast food joint - bright fluorescent lights, cold/hard furniture, and white walls everywhere. It was fine and clean if you need to eat in, but just lacking in atmosphere. I was glad I was taking it home. -

- Free refills
- You're given LOTS of fries
The toppings were good; the cheese was delicious and the jalapeño peppers were actually hot! The buns were nice, as well... The burger was average. I'd be lying if I said it wasn't, and that really brings the whole thing down a notch. The cajun fries were alright, just like the regular fries. For me, the free refills and free, all you can eat peanuts weren't enough to offset the average tasting burger. -

I feel like becoming a vegetarian after eating Five Guys mainly because the burger did not taste nor look appetizing. The taste and smell is hard to describe, but it felt like I was eating a real cow. I'll let you judge for yourself. Waste of $12 fo sho!

More than anything I found it way to expensive for what it is. It was $30 for two people to eat burgers and fries! They were definitely very good but for that price I just expected more.
On to the food. I ordered a Hamburger and a regular order of fries and a regular drink. My boyfriend got the Bacon Cheeseburger and a regular order of fries and a regular drink. I definitely recommend ordering only one order of fries and one drink since they fill the bag with fries and you get free re-fills on pop. Very short menu but the staff knew what they were doing. Toppings were good but the burgers fell apart. I think the lettuce might have been too coarsly chopped or something. It was like a ball of lettuce on top of my bf's burger. The pickles were these cute little coins, very thick cut. I liked them - they weren't too sweet like you get at some places. The fries were just the regular (not cajun) and they were good, just like the kind you can get from a chip truck. Definitely very fresh!
Seating area was packed with tables, it could get uncomfortable at a busy time. We went late afternoon on a weekday so it was dead. 2 girls and 4 guys working behind the counter though so we got our food within about 5 minutes. There was only a single women's washroom and one marked wheelchair accessible/womens. There must be super long line-ups when the place is full!
I do recommend this place for a good burger, you just need to be aware of what you're getting and how much you're going to pay before you go. If you're not STARVING go for the "junior" burgers (only one patty) and one order of fries for a group. Enjoy! -
Review from Myrem D.
Mississauga, ON
So all the ranting and raving worked..because it planted the seed in my intestine and every time I passed this lame-OH mall, I wanted to make a visit to this place.
So I did.
This kids, is the story about the time I met your future "that burger" review.
It started after a hard days work - as per my usual days. I tossed and twiddled in my seat for something new. Something Juicy and fatty and bad for you and virginal to my tasting knowledge. My best bud - coinkidinkly also had the same craving -hence why we are best buds. he suggested "hey, what about that place"
to which I replied " Ooooohhh, yes , THAT place".
So off we went into that place. Facing the opposite end of the mall, it helped swat away all the lame-OH's that visit this mall. Plus, the parking lot is big enough to do donuts. You see kids, the funny part about this trip was my battery was going through some meth withdrawal so I had to keep the car running (why? I usually end up writing essays that put English buffs into antiphelectic shock but I have to catch up on my reviews so perhaps ask a car person to explain this to you). So, with that in mind... I left my bud in the car and walked into this place.
tings I noticed :
Odd shape of restaurant.
no combo *gasp* - what the blasphemous antiseptic firewall??
Fires are extra - repeat above. W.T.B.A.F - (this will become a thing, you read it here first).
chairs and tables galore - a little too sure, are we?
No female staff members - interesting
So I gots my burger and got fries on the side (with Cajun powder in a separate container)
The burger was slimy. Not necessarily in a bad way but just, everything was melted. I ate it anyway. It wasn't bad, just not the BEST in town. The cashier was nice enough to not charge me with fries so I enjoyed them rather more. ^_^
The Cajun powder on the side was just weird. It's like someone giving me oil on the side - for my rice. Really really weird.
Listen FIVE guys, I get your trying to follow the GaGa era and be "different" but if your going to take a north American classic - keep it that way. Classic.
No deal. Don't waste your money.
I would tap it again - if I happen to be in the area and won pro line
for $120.00
p.s what is with the potato sacks laying around. How "different" does someone have to be to consider them as decoration?

My family and I came here for a quick bite eat for my birthday. I have been wanting to try this place out since it opened earlier this year. There was tremendous amount of hype about their burgers. Unfortunately, they DID NOT live up to the hype.
We order three little hamburger, one regular cheeseburger (2 patties), large cajun fries and a large drink (free refills). The burgers were ok, I have had better at Hero Burger or Craft Burger (now known as Smoke's). You can pick your toppings on each burger, the downside is that your burger falls apart. The double patty burger had to eaten with a knife and fork.
The cajun fries were pretty good, for a large it feed the four of us and we still had some leftover fries that we could not finish.
Free refills on the drinks was an added bonus. We took advantage of it as a family.
If you are keen on trying this place, go ahead. You will soon realize that it not worth the value for money.Listed in: Burgers

Review from RJ S.
Mississauga, ON
The American Burger or Grease has arrived.
The one little pet peeve I have about all these American dives coming to Canada is that I have nothing to look forward to when I head to the states, however there is an exception to this place.
The burger joint has just opened in the Mississauga area and as expected it is very packed. The moment you walk in the first thing you'll notice is the amount of staff members working, there had to be about 10 people behind the counter. Even with the amount of people working the service was pretty slow although that's a okay by me b/c it is brand new so the employees can get away with it for now.
On to the food. I love their menu b/c it's short and right to the point. The regular burgers consists of two patties and the little burgers consists of one patty. There are two different types of fries cajun or regular. The burgers are well seasoned and very juicy however very greasy. The fries are also very good however I recommend you get cajun fries to get a little better taste and only one order of fries if you're with a group of people b/c it's alot.
Now the only reason I didn't give this place a better rating is b/c I've eaten at Five Guys in the states and the States does the burger way better. The burger in the States is alot tastier and alot less grease.
I would most likely go back but probably not for a while. I have a feeling the next time I eat a five guy burger it will be in the states.
Items to definetly get:
- Cheesburger
- Cajun Fries -

Just ate at this infamous place after hearing all about it. What can I say?
Meh. I've experienced better.
I ordered the little cheeseburger with cajun fries. It was simply okay. For some reason I assumed the burger would be 'excessive' since it seems to be their motto, but really it was simple and humble. Fries were kind of dry... meh.
Wont lie, still a bit hungry too. Glad I tried it, but wont be going back. Free peanuts were cute. -

Just came back from the newly opened Mississauga location, it was very busy even at 9PM. Signs all over the place say 7 days a week until 10PM (IIRC). It's at Burnhamthorpe & Erin Mills.
Menu is really short, hamburger/cheeseburger/bacon cheeseburger or little burger/cheeseburger/bacon cheeseburger. Choice of cajun fries or regular fries. No chicken sandwich of any sort that I saw. $2.99 grilled cheese sandwich sounded intriguing and I heard plenty of them being ordered. Free peanuts to eat while you wait for them to call your number. Their regular burgers are 2 patties equalling 7oz. and the "little" burgers are single patty 3.5oz. The "regular" bacon cheeseburger was $8.79 before tax for just the burger I believe. After adding a regular cajun fries, tax included, it was roughly 14 bucks
Tons of teenagers working in bright red shirts behind the line, at least 10 people on the cooking stations..
The sign under the burger ordering area indicates burgers are only cooked to "juicy but well done" and yeah the burger was grey and fully cooked, but it was "juicy" (how much of that is grease though I wonder). Patties seem to be minimally seasoned, just good old fashioned griddled beef. Cheese is regular bright yellow american cheese which melts but stays thick, bacon was a decent amount but very thin. The one thing that stood out were the disappointing pickles topping for the burger. Not alot of flavor and sliced into coin shapes.. I was hoping for a good dill pickle slice or a new pickle slice. Too much lettuce on the hamburger, way too much, and too coarsely cut.
Bags of potatoes all over the place, including the ordering lineup area. Cajun fries is an interesting idea but I was sick of the 'seasoning' after I ate some of them. Also they were over seasoned IMO, too overpowering. Will definitely 100% opt for the plain fries, which are indeed fresh cut, next time.
Pretty good stuff, Let's hope it stays consistent. Also they need gravy for the fries. -

I've heard that this place and In n Out Burger are the new kings of American fast food. I really liked In n Out when I've visited California/Nevada and I was really looking forward to the east coast equivalent. I have to say the burgers are really good, maybe better than In and Out and definitely better than McD, Wendy's, BK, etc.
I didn't however like the fries. I had the cajun fries and my girlfriend and other friend had the regular fries. I enjoyed the cajun seasoning but the fries were overcooked and not very tasty. yes they were all over the bag (like some other reviewers mentioned) but that was on purpose. After they put the fries in the bag they dump a bunch more in with them so I can't really complain about that.
If you in the area I'd definitely try them out. I live over half and hour away and I consider my trip worthwhile. -
Review from Susan D.
Toronto, ON
To begin: I give this place four stars because of their excess and extremity in the world of burger, not necessarily because these were the best burgers I've ever had.
That said, they are pretty good, if you are seeking crazy, over the top, sauce-slathered messy insanity in your burger--because they are all that and more--check out the photo of the burger uploaded by RJ S.--this is what they actually do look like (topping dependent, of course).
This place basically takes the concept of burger to 11, then doubles it, making the products of other burger places (at least in Canada) seem restrained and quiet by comparison. I'm simultaneously fascinated and horrified by the excess of these burgers. They tasted pretty good, too, but I did feel a bit sick after eating mine--maybe just from the thought of how insanely unhealthy they are?
Which is basically to say that I wouldn't want to go here every day, or even more than say... once a year or so. I don't think my arteries could stand it. And I ordered the "small" size. But, if you are as fascinated as I am by crazy and novel variations on standard food offerings, then this is definitely one to check out.
Note: if there are two of you and you both want fries, order the smaller size of fries (this is what we did, and we didn't even come close to finishing them, especially after the burgers!). The large size could likely feed a small nation.
Also: Though I didn't try the regular fries, the Cajun ones are good. -

I heard a lot of good things about this place before I went which is probably a bad thing, since then it has a lot to live up to right off the bat.
I got the little cheeseburger and cajun fries.
The burger? Extremely tasty, but...small-ish? For the price, I was expecting something more. I like that they don't charge you for all the fun toppings (and maybe that's WHY the price is so high...) but for someone like me that only gets ketchup and mayo...it's $$.
The fries? Disappointing. VERY. I like that they were fresh, but I like crispy, well-done fries and these were not. I also found the cajun spice underwhelming...almost unnoticeable. Not to mention...they just gave me too many. Maybe it's stupid to complain about getting TOO much food, but really it was overkill. I guess I wouldn't be complaining if I liked them, although my waistline would be. :)
It was fun to try once, but I'll probably stick with my C & Dubbs. -

Went here for dinner with the fam on a Saturday night and although it looked packed, we only waited about 10 minutes to get our food. Not bad.
The burgers were just as good when I had them in California and the cajun fries are delicious! So flavorful you don't even really need ketchup. Probably the only difference between this one and the one in Cali - the one in Cali had tons of peanut shells strewn all over the floor.
I got the little cheeseburger this time (last time I got a regular cheeseburger and not knowing it had 2 patties, I split it with the hubby) and it was nice and juicy and the cheese nicely melted. I love the grilled onions.
Minus a star since it's so far from my place. -
Review from Michelle S.

Huge Burgers, Alot of Fries, Free refills...and peanuts while you wait for your food! What else could you want??? Kinda pricey for burgers but they are huge....if I might add maybe just maybe the meat might need a bit of salt.....maybe? The place has cramped seating but it's okay as long as the place isn't packed, in which it does in the weekends. Overall the food is good.

I had to sign up for Yelp just to put this issue to rest: Five Guys is overrated. It pales in comparison to BP and I don't even know how these guys are mentioned in the same breath as In-N-Out in the states (maybe their ingredient sourcing is better).
These guys have no respect for burger construction. My cheeseburger came out of the foil smushed looking like a meat pie of grease. The product vaguely reminds me of Burger King actually. Their cheese doesn't melt right and tastes a tad too sweet. The bun did not impress either. Their fries were pretty uninspiring as well and weren't consistently crispy. They reminded me of the fries from an arena I used to play hockey at. Love the fries in the bag gimmick, me and my date ended up with a whole other serving of fries! Props for using peanut oil too.
The patty is pretty good. But you can definitely taste the difference when the meat is freshly ground and seasoned. I noticed that their patties come pre-seasoned out of the box...ugh.
Overall, Five Guys feels too much like a chain for me and I won't be going back. Everything I observed in the kitchen from the ingredients to the cooking processes did not display anything that justified me spending 14 bucks. -

The Prices are comparable to gourmet burger joints and the quality is nowhere near that level. Mediocre.

Wow. I cannot believe some of the poor reviews for this place. This is the best burger around, bar none. Bar none. This place doesn't mess around with gimmicks. If you want a gimmicky burger, go to Red Robin. You know why Five Guys don't mess around with gimmicks? They do not have to hide the taste of their meat. It tastes like meat. They don't need to hide it with avocado or pineapples, or other such trendy non-sense. This is a classic hamburger, and by far the best one you can get in Mississauga of all places. Someone also mentioned that there were bags of potatoes everywhere. You know why? Because they use them to make their fries. i.e. they serve FRESH cut fries. You would be hard pressed to find many fast food places that actually do that in house. And to those who complain about the menu being short; it's called Five Guys BURGERS AND FRIES. Hasn't anyone heard the expression, "Jack of all trades, King of none"? I would rather go for a place that specializes in hamburgers and get an amazing hamburger, than go to some smorgasbord to get sub-par menu items. Ignore some of these other reviews. If you want a good burger and fries, go to Five Guys and thank me afterwards. Peace.
