What to Eat at Five Guys How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For Five Guys, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.

Tips for a Better Visit
Share fries. Consider sharing one fries portion: a reviewer said it was enough for three people.
Keep receipt. Keep your receipt after eating; one reviewer said it could save AED 45 in parking charges.
Check peanuts. If complimentary peanuts matter to you, check availability first: one review said this branch had none.
Try Cajun. Cajun fries are a useful option if you want seasoning and a little spice rather than plain fries.

Common Concerns
High pricing
Multiple reviewers consider the meals expensive, with one calling the price overrated.
Greasy food
Some customers found the burgers or fries excessively oily, and one described the meal as very greasy.
Inconsistent execution
One visit had under-seasoned meat, unmelted cheese and a milkshake missing its salted-caramel flavour.
Limited choice
The menu has limited non-beef burger options, so it may not suit diners seeking another meat.
Seating comfort
Reviews mention noisy chairs, limited indoor tables and uncomfortable air-conditioning on one visit.

The Bottom Line
Five Guys in Jumeirah is a straightforward choice for a made-to-order burger, especially if you like a juicy beef patty and plenty of control over toppings. The cheeseburger is the standout in several reviews, while the fries are often praised for being fresh, crisp outside and generous enough to share. Free drink refills and complimentary peanuts are part of the familiar Five Guys experience, although one customer said this branch had no peanuts.
The La Mer location is right beside the public beach, with a bright, relaxed setting and indoor and outdoor seating. Families get a friendly reception, and one review mentions colouring sheets and crayons for children. Service is commonly described as cheerful and quick, with one order arriving in under five minutes.
There are trade-offs. Prices are repeatedly described as high, the menu is limited beyond beef burgers, and some visits produced greasy fries, salty burgers or poor execution such as unmelted cheese and a missing salted-caramel shake flavour. Portions are large, so sharing fries can make the cost easier to justify.
Keep your receipt too: one reviewer said it saved AED 45 in parking charges.
