Five Guys Menu With Prices, Calories & Guide November 2026

Five Guys is the burger counter where the menu fits on one board and the burger comes exactly the way you build it. Fresh beef patties are pressed by hand each morning, the fries are cut from whole potatoes and fried in peanut oil, and every one of the fifteen toppings costs nothing extra. This guide covers the full Five Guys menu with typical prices and calories for November 2026: the regular and Little burgers, the hot dogs, the sandwiches, the famously overfilled fries, the hand-spun milkshakes, the drinks, and the ordering tricks that keep a visit from getting expensive.

The first Five Guys opened in Arlington, Virginia, in 1986, started by Jerry Murrell and his sons, and the chain has since grown to more than 1,700 restaurants in the United States and abroad. Most locations open around 11:00 AM and close around 10:00 PM, though hours shift by city and by mall. Two things define the place. First, the beef is fresh, never frozen, and every regular burger carries two patties while every Little burger carries one. Second, there is no value menu, no numbered combo, and no secret pricing — you pay for each item on its own, and the toppings, the peanuts while you wait, and the extra fries scooped into the bag are all part of the deal.

Before the tables, a word about the numbers on this page. Five Guys restaurants are run as franchises, and each one sets its own prices, so a cheeseburger in a small town can cost several dollars less than the same cheeseburger in New York or California, and delivery apps usually list prices 15 to 30 percent above the counter. The amounts below are therefore ballpark ranges collected from the chain’s own ordering pages and public menu listings in November 2026, not a fixed promise for your nearest restaurant. When a number comes from just one source or a delivery listing, the table marks it with words such as about or roughly, so treat those as estimates rather than exact till prices.

Burgers

The burger board is short on purpose: four regular builds and four Little builds, all made from the same hand-formed beef. A regular burger always has two patties, which is why it eats like a meal on its own, while a Little burger has one patty and suits a lighter appetite or a child. Bacon and cheese are the only toppings that cost money, because they are built into the named burgers rather than added free, so a Bacon Cheeseburger is a different menu item from a Cheeseburger with bacon asked for on the side.

ItemPriceCaloriesNotes
Hamburger$10.49–$13.49840Two fresh beef patties; all 15 toppings free
Cheeseburger$11.49–$14.99980Two patties with melted American cheese; the most-ordered burger
Bacon Burger$11.99–$15.49920Two patties with applewood-smoked bacon, no cheese
Bacon Cheeseburger$12.49–$16.991,060Two patties with bacon and melted cheese; the priciest burger
Little Hamburger$8.49–$10.49540One patty; same free toppings as the regular
Little Cheeseburger$9.49–$11.49610One patty with melted cheese; the best-value burger on the board
Little Bacon Burger$9.99–$11.99600One patty with bacon, no cheese
Little Bacon Cheeseburger$10.49–$12.99760One patty with bacon and cheese; a full meal in a smaller size
Extra patty (added to any burger)around $3.00–$4.00280–300Ask at the counter; price varies by location, confirm locally
Extra cheese (added to any burger)around $1.00–$1.5070A second slice on a burger that already has cheese; varies by location

Pro Diner Tip: if you are hungry, the regular Cheeseburger is the default order for a reason, but if you plan to eat a full order of fries too, a Little Cheeseburger is the smarter play. The Little still carries a real patty with all the toppings you want, and it leaves room for the fries, which are the part of the meal most people underestimate. Asking for your burger “all the way” gets you the full set of toppings at once — mayo, lettuce, pickles, tomatoes, grilled onions, grilled mushrooms, ketchup, and mustard — and it costs nothing.

Value analysis: regular burgers run from about $10.49 for a plain Hamburger to about $16.99 for a Bacon Cheeseburger, and the Little versions run roughly $2 to $4 less for one patty instead of two. That gap is the whole value question at Five Guys. A Little Cheeseburger at $9.49 to $11.49 plus a Little Fries is a complete lunch for less than a regular burger alone in some cities, so the Little sizes are where the savings live. Bacon is the most expensive topping choice on the board, adding about $1 to $2 over the same burger without it, so skip the bacon if the budget is tight and load up on the free toppings instead.

Hot Dogs

Five Guys splits its all-beef hot dogs down the middle and grills them flat, which gives the outside more browned surface than a boiled dog ever gets. The dogs take the same fifteen free toppings as the burgers, so a plain dog can turn into a loaded one without the price moving at all. There are four named dogs on the board, and the cheese and bacon builds are the ones regulars come back for.

ItemPriceCaloriesNotes
Kosher Style Hot Dog$5.99–$9.99545All-beef dog, split and grilled, in a toasted bun
Cheese Dog$6.69–$10.69615All-beef dog with a slice of melted American cheese
Bacon Dogaround $7.49–$10.99600All-beef dog with applewood-smoked bacon; approximate, varies by location
Bacon Cheese Dogaround $8.49–$11.49695Bacon and melted cheese on the split dog; the heaviest dog on the board
Hot Dog — all the waySame as plain dog545–600Plain dog with the full free topping set; no extra charge
Cheese Dog — with grilled onions and mushroomsSame as Cheese Dog615–660Grilled vegetables are free toppings, so the price does not change
Bacon Dog — with jalapeños and hot sauceSame as Bacon Dog600–630The spicy build; jalapeños and hot sauce are both free
Bacon Cheese Dog — with everythingSame as Bacon Cheese Dog695–750Every free topping on the most loaded dog; still one menu price

Pro Diner Tip: a hot dog is the cheapest hot main on the Five Guys board, and it is also the item where the free toppings do the most work. A plain dog dressed all the way — mustard, relish, onions, jalapeños, and hot sauce — eats like a much more expensive sandwich for no extra money. If you want cheese, order the Cheese Dog by name rather than asking for cheese on a plain dog, because the named build is the version the kitchen prices, and adding cheese to a plain dog can be charged as an extra in some locations.

Value analysis: hot dogs run from about $5.99 for a plain dog to about $11.49 for a Bacon Cheese Dog in high-priced markets, which makes the plain and cheese dogs the budget mains on the menu. Compared with a burger, a Cheese Dog at $6.69 to $10.69 saves a few dollars and still fills the same hole, especially with a Little Fries beside it. The topping builds in the table cost nothing extra, so the value move here is to order the cheapest dog you like and dress it up with free toppings rather than paying for the most loaded named version.

Sandwiches

The sandwich side of the board is small and mostly meat-free, which surprises first-time visitors who expect a burger place to be all beef. The Veggie Sandwich is simply the grilled and fresh vegetables in a bun with no patty at all — there is no plant-based patty on the menu — and the Grilled Cheese is melted cheese pressed into the toasted bun. The BLT is the only sandwich with meat besides the dogs, and it carries the same applewood bacon as the burgers.

ItemPriceCaloriesNotes
Veggie Sandwich$4.99–$7.49440Grilled and fresh vegetables in a bun; no patty, vegetarian
Cheese Veggie Sandwich$5.49–$7.99515The veggie sandwich with melted cheese added
Grilled Cheese Sandwich$4.99–$7.49470Melted cheese in a toasted bun; a kids’ favorite too
BLT Sandwich$6.49–$9.49440Applewood bacon, lettuce, and tomato with mayonnaise
BLT with Cheesearound $7.49–$10.49510BLT with a slice of melted cheese; approximate, varies by location
Veggie Sandwich — all the waySame as Veggie Sandwich440–480Every free topping on the veggie build; no extra charge
Grilled Cheese — with grilled onions and mushroomsSame as Grilled Cheese470–500Grilled vegetables are free, so the price stays flat
Cheese Veggie — with jalapeños and hot sauceSame as Cheese Veggie515–540The spicy vegetarian build; toppings cost nothing extra

Pro Diner Tip: the Veggie Sandwich and the Grilled Cheese share the lowest price on the whole menu, and both take the free toppings, which means a Veggie Sandwich ordered all the way is a genuinely filling meal for under $8 in most towns. The trick is to say the toppings out loud — grilled onions, grilled mushrooms, green peppers, and jalapeños turn a plain vegetable bun into something with real flavor. The BLT is the better pick if you want bacon without paying burger prices, since it carries the same bacon for less than a Bacon Burger.

Value analysis: sandwiches run from about $4.99 to about $10.49, and the bottom of that range is the cheapest hot food Five Guys sells. A Veggie Sandwich at $4.99 to $7.49 with a Little Fries is one of the lowest full-meal totals on the board, and it undercuts a Little Hamburger by a couple of dollars. The BLT sits in the middle of the range, and adding cheese pushes it toward burger territory, so order the plain BLT if you are watching the total and save the cheese for a burger where it matters more.

Fries

The fries are the part of Five Guys people talk about most, and for good reason. They are cut by hand from whole potatoes, fried in peanut oil, and served in a cup that the staff deliberately overfills, with the extra spilling into the bag. A regular order feeds one very hungry person or two light eaters, and a large order is genuinely a sharing size. The Cajun version costs the same as the plain version — the only difference is the spiced seasoning shaken over the top.

ItemPriceCaloriesNotes
Little Fries$4.49–$6.95526One-person portion; still generously filled
Little Cajun Fries$4.49–$6.95526Little fries with Cajun seasoning; same price as plain
Regular Fries$5.49–$8.99953The standard order; cup overfilled, extra fries in the bag
Regular Cajun Fries$5.49–$8.99953Regular fries with Cajun seasoning; same price as plain
Large Fries$7.29–$10.911,314Sharing size; feeds two to three people comfortably
Large Cajun Fries$7.29–$10.911,314Large fries with Cajun seasoning; same price as plain
Extra fries scooped into the bagIncludedVariesStaff add a scoop on top of every cup; part of the serving, not an extra
Cajun seasoning on any friesIncluded—Ask for Cajun style on any size; no upcharge over plain fries

Pro Diner Tip: never order one fries per person. A regular fries is already more than one person usually finishes, because the cup is overfilled and the bag gets an extra scoop, so one regular shared between two people is the normal move. If your table has three or four people, one large fries is cheaper than two regulars and there is still plenty to go around. Cajun fries are the better choice if you like heat, since the seasoning is free and the plain fries can taste a little mild on their own.

Value analysis: fries run from about $4.49 for a Little to about $10.91 for a Large, and the per-person math flips the usual logic — the Large is the best value on the board once two or more people are sharing, working out to roughly $3.50 to $5.50 per person. The Little is the right call for a solo diner who still wants a burger and a shake, because a regular fries at 953 calories is nearly a second meal. The Cajun versions cost exactly the same as plain at every size, so there is no price reason to skip the seasoning if you like it.

Drinks & Milkshakes

Five Guys keeps drinks simple: a fountain machine with the usual soft drinks, bottled water, and the hand-spun milkshakes that are the real drink order here. Every shake starts from the same vanilla base and takes any mix-ins you want at no extra charge, which means a peanut butter and Oreo shake costs the same as a plain vanilla one. The mix-in list is long, and you can combine as many as you like.

ItemPriceCaloriesNotes
Fountain Soft Drinkaround $2.99–$3.990–200Refills vary by location; ask at the counter
Bottled Wateraround $2.49–$2.990Still water; approximate, varies by location
Milkshake — Vanilla$5.69–$8.49670Hand-spun vanilla base; mix-ins are free
Milkshake — Chocolate$5.69–$8.49670–800Chocolate mix-in blended into the vanilla base
Milkshake — Strawberry$5.69–$8.49670–800Strawberry mix-in blended into the vanilla base
Milkshake — Peanut Butter$5.69–$8.49800–950Peanut butter mix-in; one of the richest shakes
Milkshake — Oreo Cookie Pieces$5.69–$8.49800–1,000Oreo pieces blended in; the most-ordered shake build
Milkshake — Salted Caramel$5.69–$8.49700–900Salted caramel mix-in; sweet with a salty edge
Milkshake — Coffee$5.69–$8.49670–800Coffee mix-in; the lightest-tasting shake option
Milkshake — Bacon & Banana$5.69–$8.49900–1,400The unusual combo regulars swear by; mix-ins still free

Pro Diner Tip: the milkshake is the one item where piling on is free, so order two or three mix-ins rather than one — peanut butter with Oreo pieces, or salted caramel with banana, costs exactly the same as a plain vanilla shake. If you are already eating a burger and fries, split one shake between two people, because a loaded shake can pass 1,000 calories on its own. The fountain drink is the cheaper thirst-quencher, and water is the cheapest of all, so save the shake for when you actually want dessert.

Value analysis: drinks run from about $2.49 for water to about $8.49 for a loaded milkshake, and the shake is the value story in this section because every mix-in is free. A shake with three mix-ins at $5.69 to $8.49 is a dessert and a drink in one cup, and it replaces a separate dessert order that would cost more elsewhere. The soft drink at around $2.99 to $3.99 is standard fast-food pricing, so the drink decision is really about whether you want a shake at all — and if you do, load it up, because the extras cost nothing.

All Toppings Free

Fifteen toppings, all free, on any burger, hot dog, or sandwich, in any combination, with no limit. That is the whole pricing idea at Five Guys: the base item carries the price, and everything you put on it is included. The list below covers the full fifteen, grouped the way the order board groups them, with the calories each one adds so you can see how little the free toppings cost your waistline as well as your wallet.

ItemPriceCaloriesNotes
Lettuce & TomatoFree5–10The fresh base on almost every order
PicklesFree5Sliced dill pickles; a sharp, salty bite
Onions (fresh, raw)Free10Fresh sliced onions; stronger flavor than grilled
Grilled OnionsFree15Sweet and soft; the topping regulars ask for most
Grilled MushroomsFree10Grilled on the flat top; adds a savory depth
Green PeppersFree5Fresh green peppers; mild crunch
Jalapeño PeppersFree5The heat option; ask for extra if you like it hot
Ketchup, Mayonnaise & MustardFree10–100The three classic sauces; mayo is the heaviest of the three
Relish, Barbecue Sauce & A1 SauceFree10–40Sweet, smoky, and steak-sauce flavors; all free
Hot SauceFree0–5The bottled hot sauce; a few drops go a long way

Pro Diner Tip: say “all the way” and the crew puts on mayo, lettuce, pickles, tomatoes, grilled onions, grilled mushrooms, ketchup, and mustard in one go. From there, add the pieces that fit your taste — jalapeños and hot sauce for heat, raw onions and green peppers for crunch, barbecue sauce if you want sweetness. Because nothing on this list costs extra, the only mistake is ordering a plain burger and paying the same price for less food. The one exception to remember is that bacon and cheese are not on the free list, so those two always add to the bill.

Value analysis: fifteen toppings at zero dollars is the best deal on the entire Five Guys menu, and it is the reason a plain Hamburger can eat like a premium burger. The calories tell the same story: most toppings add 5 to 15 calories each, so loading up costs almost nothing in either money or calories, except for mayonnaise, which is the only topping worth watching. If you compare this with chains that charge a dollar or more per extra topping, a fully loaded Five Guys burger saves two to four dollars per order without trying.

Ordering Guide

Ordering at Five Guys is different from ordering at other burger chains, because there are no combos and the sizes do not mean what they mean elsewhere. A “Little” burger is a single-patty burger, not a kids’ meal, and a regular fries is already a large serving by any other chain’s standard. Knowing those two facts before you reach the counter is the difference between a $16 lunch and a $24 one, so this section walks through the sizes and the ordering choices in plain terms.

ItemPriceCaloriesNotes
Little burger (one patty)$8.49–$12.99540–760The single-patty version of any burger; not a kids’ size
Regular burger (two patties)$10.49–$16.99840–1,060The standard burger; two patties with all free toppings
Little Fries (one person)$4.49–$6.95526Enough for one solo diner; still overfilled
Regular Fries (one to two people)$5.49–$8.99953Feeds one big appetite or two light eaters
Large Fries (two to three people)$7.29–$10.911,314The sharing size; cheaper per person than two regulars
“All the Way” orderIncludedVariesThe full free topping set in one phrase; no extra charge
Ordering in the app or onlineSame as counter—Build your burger topping by topping; pickup is usually fastest
Delivery ordering15–30% higher—Delivery menus list higher prices plus fees and tip
Peanuts at the counterFree160 per ounceRoasted peanuts while you wait; peanut allergy warning applies

Pro Diner Tip: the standard order that works for most people is a Little Cheeseburger, a Little Fries, and a drink, which lands around $16 to $23 depending on the city. If two of you are eating, order one regular burger each or one Little each, share one regular fries, and split a milkshake — you will spend less than ordering two full sets and you will still leave full. Order ahead in the app when the line is long, because the counter queue at lunch can add ten minutes to a visit that the food itself does not need.

Value analysis: the ordering guide is really a sizing guide, and the sizes are where the money goes. A regular burger plus a regular fries plus a shake can pass $29 before tax in a high-priced city, while the same meal built from Little sizes lands closer to $23. The gap is almost entirely portion size, not quality, since a Little burger uses the same beef and the same free toppings. Delivery adds another 15 to 30 percent on top of the counter price, so pickup is the cheapest way to eat Five Guys at home.

Nutrition Notes

Five Guys publishes full nutrition figures for its menu, and the numbers are honest about what this food is: big, fresh, and heavy. A regular burger with fries is easily a full day’s calories in one tray, which is fine as an occasional meal but worth knowing before you order. The table below lines up the main items by calories so you can see the trade-offs at a glance, from the lightest sandwich to the heaviest loaded burger and fries combination.

ItemPriceCaloriesNotes
Veggie Sandwich$4.99–$7.49440The lightest main on the menu; no patty
BLT Sandwich$6.49–$9.49440Light for a bacon item; the sandwich to pick when calories matter
Grilled Cheese Sandwich$4.99–$7.49470Cheese and bun; simple and filling for under 500 calories
Little Hamburger$8.49–$10.49540One patty; the lightest burger on the board
Kosher Style Hot Dog$5.99–$9.99545Lighter than any regular burger; a solid mid-range pick
Little Cheeseburger$9.49–$11.49610One patty with cheese; a good balance of size and calories
Hamburger$10.49–$13.49840Two patties; the regular burger baseline
Regular Fries$5.49–$8.99953More calories than the burger it sits next to
Cheeseburger$11.49–$14.99980Two patties with cheese; nearly 1,000 calories before fries
Bacon Cheeseburger$12.49–$16.991,060The heaviest burger; with regular fries it passes 2,000 calories

Pro Diner Tip: if calories matter to you, the two levers are the patty count and the fries size. Dropping from a regular burger to a Little saves about 300 calories, and dropping from regular fries to Little fries saves about 430 calories, so a Little Cheeseburger with Little Fries lands around 1,136 calories while a regular Cheeseburger with regular fries lands around 1,933. The free toppings barely move the total — lettuce, pickles, onions, and peppers add almost nothing — so load those up and skip the mayonnaise if you want to trim a little more. One more thing to know: everything is cooked in peanut oil, and peanuts sit out at the counter, so anyone with a peanut allergy should treat the whole restaurant as a risk.

Value analysis: the nutrition table shows why the Little sizes are the smart order twice over — they cost less and they carry hundreds fewer calories for the same beef and the same toppings. The Veggie Sandwich and the BLT are the lightest mains at 440 calories each, which makes them the picks for anyone who wants Five Guys flavor without a 2,000-calorie tray. The fries deserve the most attention of all: a regular order at 953 calories outweighs the burger beside it, so sharing fries is the single easiest way to cut both the bill and the calories in one move.

Current Deals & Value Picks

Five Guys does not run coupons, discount codes, or a value menu, and that is a deliberate choice rather than an oversight. The value on this board comes from the structure itself: free toppings, free mix-ins, free peanuts, and fries portions that feed more people than they are sold for. The picks below are the orders that get the most food for the money in November 2026, including the combo-style bundles some locations are now testing.

ItemPriceCaloriesNotes
Little Cheeseburger + Little Friesaround $14–$181,136The best-value full meal for one person
Cheeseburger + Regular Fries (shared)around $17–$241,933One burger, fries split between two; the classic share
Grilled Cheese + Little Friesaround $9–$14996The cheapest hot meal on the board
Veggie Sandwich + Little Friesaround $9–$14966The cheapest vegetarian meal on the board
Bacon Cheeseburger + Large Fries (for two)around $20–$282,374Two people, one large fries; the big shared order
Milkshake with free mix-ins$5.69–$8.49670–1,400Dessert and drink in one cup; extras cost nothing
All 15 toppings freeFree5–100The built-in deal on every burger, dog, and sandwich
Peanuts while you waitFree160 per ounceRoasted peanuts at the counter; part of the visit
Classic Combo (test, participating locations)Varies by locationVariesBundle pricing being tested in 2026, not nationwide — confirm locally

Pro Diner Tip: the value stack at Five Guys is simple once you see it. Order Little sizes when you are eating alone, share one fries order whenever two people are at the table, and treat the free toppings and free shake mix-ins as the discounts they are — a fully loaded burger and a three-mix-in shake cost the same as the plain versions. Skip delivery when you can, because the delivery markup wipes out every saving on this page, and check whether your location is one of the ones testing the Classic Combo bundle before you order items one by one.

Value analysis: put together, these picks cover every kind of visit. A solo lunch runs cheapest as a Little Cheeseburger with Little Fries at around $14 to $18, a couple does best sharing a regular fries beside two burgers, and a family does best with one large fries for the table instead of a fries per person. There are no coupons to hunt and no app points to save up, so the savings come from sizing and sharing rather than from a deal. The official source for locations, menus, and online ordering is Five Guys’ official site.

FAQs

How much is a Cheeseburger at Five Guys?

A regular Cheeseburger typically runs $11.49 to $14.99, and a Little Cheeseburger runs $9.49 to $11.49, with prices varying by location. Both come with all fifteen toppings free, and the regular has two patties while the Little has one. Delivery listings usually run higher than the counter price.

What does “Little” mean at Five Guys?

Little means one patty instead of two. A Little Hamburger is a single-patty burger, not a kids’ meal, and it takes the same free toppings as the regular version. The Little sizes cost roughly $2 to $4 less than the regular versions and carry about 300 fewer calories.

Are the toppings really free at Five Guys?

Yes. All fifteen toppings — lettuce, tomato, pickles, fresh and grilled onions, grilled mushrooms, jalapeños, green peppers, ketchup, mayo, mustard, relish, barbecue sauce, A1 sauce, and hot sauce — are free on any burger, hot dog, or sandwich, in any combination. Bacon and cheese are the only exceptions, because they are priced into the named burgers.

How much are Five Guys fries?

Little Fries run $4.49 to $6.95, Regular Fries run $5.49 to $8.99, and Large Fries run $7.29 to $10.91. Cajun-seasoned fries cost the same as plain fries at every size. Every cup is overfilled and an extra scoop goes into the bag, so a regular order feeds one to two people and a large feeds two to three.

Does Five Guys have combos or a value menu?

No, not nationwide. Five Guys sells everything à la carte, with no numbered combos and no value menu. Some locations are testing a Classic Combo bundle in 2026, but it is not available everywhere, so confirm with your local restaurant before counting on it.

Is Five Guys safe for a peanut allergy?

No, it is not a safe choice for anyone with a peanut allergy. Everything is cooked in 100% peanut oil, and roasted peanuts are served free at the counter, so peanut traces are present throughout the restaurant. Anyone with a peanut allergy should eat elsewhere.

Menu prices at Five Guys move from city to city and from one franchise to another, and delivery listings almost always sit above the counter price, so use every figure on this page as a typical guide for November 2026 rather than a fixed promise for your local restaurant. Items, sizes, and offers can change without notice, and the combo bundle being tested at some locations may not be running where you live. Updated: November 2026.
