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
Customize carefully. Check your toppings before leaving or eating in, since one cheeseburger order missed several requested additions.
Try spicy fries. Ask for spicy fries if you want a more seasoned side; one reviewer specifically recommended them with the cheeseburger.
Plan parking. Allow time to find parking; basement parking was reported as convenient, with 30 minutes free and extra time waived after bill scanning.
Try the shake. Add a milkshake to the order, especially if you enjoy thick shakes; the strawberry version was paired with a late-night Patty Melt.

The Bottom Line
Five Guys in Al Wasl is a straightforward burger stop built around made-to-order cheeseburgers, hamburgers, hot dogs, fries and milkshakes. Reviews most often praise the juicy beef, fresh toppings and generous fries; the Patty Melt and strawberry milkshake also get specific mentions. Customization is a major part of the appeal.
You can choose additions such as grilled onion, mayo, ketchup, jalapeños or hot sauce, and dine-in reviewers mention free soda refills and complimentary peanuts. Spicy fries are another popular suggestion. Service is generally described as friendly and quick, including during a busy Friday visit at 1 am.
The main reservation is price. Several customers say the meal feels expensive for fast food, although some think the portions and ingredient quality justify the premium. The menu is limited, and one reviewer was disappointed by a burger arriving without most of the requested toppings.
Another reported finding an insect in a lettuce wrap burger, so that isolated complaint is worth noting. Parking feedback is mixed: basement parking was reported as offering 30 minutes free with bill scanning, while another diner found it difficult to locate. Overall, it suits a focused burger craving more than a budget meal or broad menu search.
