Five Guys | The best burgers in town
Sometimes it makes perfect sense to keep things simple. After all, food doesn’t have to be too complicated right? Which is why Five Guys stick to a minimal offering on their menu. Minimal, but fabulous!
Literally revolving around five main items – Burgers, Hotdogs, Fries, Sandwiches and Milkshakes, they prefer to spoil you with their abundance of toppings. And the best part – you can add as many toppings as you want without paying a single extra dime.
While we waited for our order to arrive, we helped ourselves to some roasted ground peanuts which is not something you get to see very often in Dubai.
Our first fix were these milkshakes. While my plus one chose the mix of Oreo, Coffee and Malted Milk with a generous topping of whipped cream, I kept it light(er) with Chocolate, Peanut Butter and Malted Milk. Almost like a meal in itself, these milkshakes are well on the path to becoming freakshakes. I loved the malted milk flavor. It is one of their bestsellers and most recommended items.
For our burger fix, we chose a regular Cheeseburger which comes with two beef patties and lots of cheddar cheese. My toppings for this included lettuce, tomatoes, grilled onions, grilled mushrooms, relish, green peppers, A1 sauce and hot sauce. Remember, you can add as many or as little toppings as you like. The burger is a huge one, especially for one person to finish all by themselves. You can also choose to go for the single patty burger, which should be good for one person, but we liked the Five Guys idea of sharing meals, so we just split this in half (and still couldn’t finish it).
Next up was the Cheesedog. Why a cheesedog you ask? Because only hot dog is too mainstream, and everything tastes better with cheese right?! Along with lovely beef sausages, this one features our choice of tomatoes, grilled onions, grilled mushrooms, relish, green peppers, jalapenos and hot sauce as toppings. This one was much more easier to eat than the burger. The portion is good enough for one.
Of course, no burger is really complete without its soulmate – FRIES! Five Guys offer two distinct flavors in fries – the original Five Guys style, and the slightly spicier Cajun style. We loved both equally. The cut, the crispiness and the seasoning – everything was just perfect.

The first thing I noticed about Five Guys is how chilled out and easy going this place is. The concept is simple, and so is their ordering process. And with so many choices in terms of toppings, you can keep going again and again and try something different every time. If you don’t eat beef, this place might be a challenge for you, for you’ll only find yourself eating fries or drinking shakes. The shakes are really good, but if you decide to order one of everything on their menu, you’ll probably have to go there with a very big appetite. I recommend all their items. Make multiple visits to their multiple branches, and try everything!
