Five Guys offers a truly customizable burger journey. Their signature Hamburger features fresh, hand-formed beef patties cooked hot off the grill and nestled between soft, toasted sesame seed buns.

For those craving an extra layer of richness, the Cheeseburger melts classic American cheese between patties, adding a perfectly gooey texture that complements the juicy beef.
Another crowd favorite is the Bacon Burger, which layers hand-formed patties with crispy, applewood-smoked bacon. The smoky, savory bacon pairs beautifully with the tender meat, bringing a satisfying depth to this indulgent creation. Every dish is paired wonderfully with their famously golden and crispy fries, recommended by many as some of the best tasting fries around. Each batch is cooked fresh and generously salted, providing a perfect balance of crunch and warmth.

With a continually clean and inviting space, the friendly staff go above and beyond to make each visit special. Guests like Justin Wainscott have praised manager Sherman for personally ensuring unique orders are met with care, while Luis C Villa appreciated how the staff expertly suggested a lettuce wrap option for a low-carb yet flavorful meal. This kind of attentive service complements the fast-paced yet relaxed vibe, making it a go-to spot whether you're grabbing a quick bite or settling in for a casual meal.
Don’t miss out on their signature milkshakes—another highlight according to regulars like Amatullah Feroz, who raved about the coffee and Oreo crumble combination, noting the value in unlimited free add-ins that transform these shakes into decadent treats. The blend of creamy sweetness and rich mix-ins offers a perfect finish to your meal.

On November 1, 2025, I was at this Five Guys Shepherd around 7:00 pm and I was delighted with my meal. I ordered my food without bread, and they recommended a lettuce wrap. I appreciate the recommendation because it was very good; the meat was juicy and hot, and the vegetables were fresh. I will definitely order again. The service was efficient and fast, even though there were a lot of orders. The three guys and one girl were focused on providing good service. The restaurant was clean and busy.

It is true! Five guys has the best tasting fries indeed! Just getting the smallest size on the menu fills you up so much that you're almost done with your meal. They also have a board if it says where today's potato is from, they have the ingredients out. And the people were really nice! I'm definitely going back!

Best DIY hamburger fast food restaurant. The quality of ingredients is extraordinary. It’s pricy compared to other fast food restaurants and 100% worth it. Very clean place and super friendly staff

Great location!!! Plenty of parking early afternoon. Everyone greeted me upon arrival. The music wasn’t too loud. The restroom and dining room are very clean. Everyone was professional and sanitary:, wearing a mask, washing the hand, sweeping, etc. I ordered a fresh banana and strawberry shake. It is extremely good, and enough for two people to enjoy! This is one of the better locations if not the best. I would definitely come back if time would have it. Enjoy!
