Best burgers in town. Staff is great! Very cold if you sit near the windows though in the winter.
They recently opened one of these restaurants in Sudbury but we’ve never tried it. We were hungry for a burger while visiting Ottawa and this restaurant fell into our pathway. By far one of the best burgers I’ve ever had. The bacon was extra crispy and added an awesome texture to the burger! Definitely going to visit the Sudbury location . Good job Ottawa!
Earlier this month I made a couple of trips out to Barrhaven to visit clients for my business. After a client visit I usually stop off for a meal before heading home. Five Guys Burgers & Fries (1181 Greenbank Road, Ottawa) is near OC Transpo's Strandherd Transitway station and also easily accessible from the nearby Greenbank Road. I use this as great spot to both transfer from nearby streets to Ottawa's transit system to head homewards.
Good burgers...but slow down on the fries there Sparky!!!. First time there. Service was quick exactly what I wanted.
The only surprise I got was that they gave our two orders with fries.....then dumped a heap of more friex in the bag, covering everything is a salty, oily mess.
If I was hungover from a night of drinking I wouldn't have an issue.
Although pretty pricey, they make a great burger. The servings of fries are huge - we get a small for 3 of us (including a 16 year old male which should say something!)
Average. We've tried Five Guys several times. The burgers are ok, but nothing special. The best comparison would be the type of burger one could get from a chip truck.
The French fries were the surprising part. During our first visit, we were cautioned (by the cashier) about ordering two fries....she was 100% right. and that honesty hasn't been forgotten.There were more than enough fries for two. Since then, we've noticed that the volume of fries has gradually been scaled back on subsequent visits...no problem with that.
Overall, the food has been consistent, and served in a clean, modern restaurant. The staff were friendly.
A decent place for a quick lunch. 7/10
Love the burgers but not the pricing. The burgers are great and the fries are balcony always perfect!
Good burgs and good fries loved it
Awesome burger. I went to a Five Guys in Virginia and loved their burgers. Went to the one in Barhaven tonight and was satisfied again. Lots of tasty fries. Also free peanuts.
Happened upon this place when I was starving - having never heard of it. Took a look at the menu and saw the burgers were typically priced for what u get at a pub... Ordered some "small" fries and a drink with my bacon cheeseburger.
I saw a few ppl munching on peanuts at the tables then discovered the burlap bags of peanuts on the counter with little help urself trays. So I did! Must have polished off quite a few peanuts by the time my order was up.
I grab my bag from the counter (quite heavy!) and look inside to see the bag COMPLETELY full of spicy fries! I literally had to dig through the fries to get my burger (with the works on it). Talk about fully loaded juicy burger! It was divine... I was in burger heaven. 5 mins later and that bad boy had a new home... My belly...
Now I may have been vulnerable to bias since I was absolutely starving, but I still think of that burger as one of the best I've had in a while. I personally thanked the guys on the grill... I know it's always appreciated when someone says thank u and it was well deserved!
Go here if u want a great burger and love fries!!!
Great burgers. They run a close second to Ottawa's Hintonburger for having the best hamburger in town. Spotlessly clean location in Barrhaven deserves special mention. I'd eat there more often if it weren't for the open barrels of peanuts that they offer to guests.
