The Good Stuff
Large portions
Portions can be surprisingly generous: one reviewer said a small cheeseburger was still enough to fill them.
Custom toppings
You can choose your burger toppings, letting you build a taller, more personalised burger without extra topping charges.
Allergy care
For gluten allergies, managers handle the order and show the allergy list, which a coeliac diner found reassuring at the airport.
Spacious seating
The airport outlet has plenty of seating, with one reviewer mentioning a massive seating area and comfortable sofas beside the bar.
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
Watch portions. Order cautiously if dining alone: one review says the “little” fries arrived as a huge portion, so sharing may be sensible.
Check seasoning. If you dislike salty fries, consider skipping Cajun seasoning or asking about it; one customer found the Cajun Fries much too salty.
Allow buffer. Leave some time before boarding: although service is often quick, one airport review described a 10-minute wait.
Check the total. Review the bill before adding extras, as one traveller said the price increased quickly when staff upsold additions.
Ask about allergies. If you have a gluten allergy, request the manager-led process and ask to see the allergy list before ordering.

Common Concerns
High prices
Several travellers felt the airport pricing was steep; one reported paying 200 AED for two sandwiches, fries and drinks.

The adjoining lounge can be noisy, with loud music and staff shouting across the restaurant mentioned in separate reviews.
Opening delays
One customer said the outlet kept delaying its opening for an hour, so availability may not always match a traveller’s schedule.

The Bottom Line
Five Guys in Al Garhoud is an airport fast-food stop for made-to-order burgers, fries and hot dogs, with shakes and drinks available too. It suits travellers who want a filling meal near the terminal; several reviews describe quick service and plenty of seating, including a sofa area beside the bar. The strongest pattern is the staff.
Customers repeatedly describe the team as friendly, upbeat and helpful, including guidance through the ordering machine. Burgers are often called juicy or tasty, and toppings can be chosen without an additional charge. Cajun Fries, Oreo and Biscoff shakes, and the breakfast egg-and-cheese sandwich all get specific praise.
Portions run large: one reviewer’s “small” fries arrived as a huge serving, while a small cheeseburger was still enough to fill them. There are trade-offs. Airport pricing is a common complaint, and one meal for four was reported at 223 AED.
Food feedback is mixed: some found the burger bland, fries too salty or soft, and one reported a soggy bun. Noise and occasional opening or order-collection problems can matter when you are rushing for a flight. If you have coeliac disease or another gluten allergy, ask for the manager-led allergy process and review the allergy list before ordering.
