What Are The Five Guys Menu Prices?

Updated on September 1, 2026 | Written by Alec Pow
This article was researched using 9 sources. See our methodology and corrections policy.

Five Guys menu prices currently run about $9 to $17 for burgers and hot dogs, $7 to $11 for fries, and around $8 for a milkshake in current U.S. delivery-menu examples. A regular cheeseburger, regular fries, and a drink can approach $29 before tax, delivery fees, or tip, while choosing Little sizes can bring a similar à-la-carte order closer to $23.

There is no single national Five Guys price list. Prices change by restaurant, city, ordering channel, and promotion. Current delivery examples include a $14.99 Cheeseburger, $16.91 Bacon Cheeseburger, $11.27 Little Cheeseburger, $8.99 Regular Fries, and $8.39 Milkshake. Pickup or in-store prices can be lower than the delivery examples shown here.

Five Guys also differs from many burger chains because its standard Hamburger and Cheeseburger use two beef patties, while the “Little” burgers use one. Most toppings are included at no added charge, fries come in unusually generous portions, and the company is testing meal bundles at selected restaurants rather than offering one nationwide combo menu.

What a Meal Really Costs

Five Guys historically sells burgers, fries, and drinks à la carte at most locations. That makes the entrée price a poor estimate of what someone actually spends on lunch or dinner.

Using current menu examples, a Cheeseburger at $14.99 (about 30 minutes at $30 per hour) plus Regular Fries at $8.99 equals $23.98. Add a $4.67 Coke bottle from a current Ashburn menu and the order reaches $28.65 before sales tax, delivery fees, service fees, or tip.

Add a current $8.39 milkshake instead of the bottled drink and the same burger-and-fries order becomes $32.37.

For two people ordering their own Cheeseburger and Regular Fries, the food alone is:

2 × $14.99 + 2 × $8.99 = $47.96

Add two $8.39 milkshakes and the total reaches $64.74 before tax.

Worked example: suppose two people each want a Cheeseburger but agree to share one Large Fries at $10.91. Their food total becomes $14.99 + $14.99 + $10.91 = $40.89. Buying two Regular Fries instead would cost $47.96. Sharing the Large Fries saves $7.07, or about 14.7% of the original two-person food bill.

Little vs. Regular Burger Value

“Little” at Five Guys mainly refers to the number of burger patties, not a miniature fast-food slider. The official Five Guys burger menu describes the Little Hamburger as one fresh patty, while a regular burger uses multiple patties.

Five Guys provides more detail in its current menu information: each hand-formed patty weighs about 3.6 ounces, and the regular two-patty burger contains just over 7 ounces of beef.

At the current Ashburn example, a Little Cheeseburger costs $11.27 and a regular Cheeseburger costs $14.99. The price difference is only $3.72.

For that extra $3.72, the burger gains roughly another 3.6-ounce patty, along with the regular cheeseburger configuration. Looking only at the extra beef, the incremental menu cost works out to about $1.03 per additional ounce of beef.

For someone who does not need the second patty, however, the Little version cuts $3.72 from the order, a saving of about 24.8% compared with the $14.99 regular Cheeseburger.

Build a smaller meal with a $11.27 Little Cheeseburger, $6.95 Little Fries, and the same $4.67 bottled drink and the total is $22.89. Compared with our $28.65 regular Cheeseburger meal example, that saves $5.76, or about 20.1%.

Combo Tests

Five Guys has historically been known for à-la-carte pricing, but the company is testing two different combo approaches in selected U.S. restaurants.

The Classic Combo test launched with a price of $12.99 and includes a Little Burger or Little Cheeseburger, Little Fries or Little Cajun Fries, and a 16-ounce drink. Five Guys initially tested the bundle in 177 restaurants.

That launch price becomes interesting beside current à-la-carte examples. The $11.27 Little Cheeseburger plus $6.95 Little Fries in the current Ashburn delivery example already total $18.22 before adding a drink. The old $12.99 Classic Combo launch price was $5.23 lower than those two items alone.

This is not a guaranteed $5.23 saving at your restaurant. It compares different locations and ordering channels, and Five Guys now says combo prices vary by participating store. It does show why an available combo deserves checking before ordering the same components à la carte.

Five Guys has also tested Make It a Meal, which originally added a Little Fry and regular drink to a burger, hot dog, or sandwich for $5 at test restaurants.

For perspective, the current Ashburn delivery example prices a Little Fry alone at $6.95. A participating store offering fries plus a drink for a $5 add-on can therefore be materially cheaper than building the meal from ordinary à-la-carte delivery prices.

Free Toppings and Fries

Customization remains one place where the sticker price does not climb with every choice. Five Guys says customers can choose from 15 free toppings, creating hundreds of thousands of possible combinations. Its current menu and pricing FAQ also confirms that the chain is still testing combos rather than offering them at every location.

That means grilled onions, grilled mushrooms, jalapeños, lettuce, tomato, pickles, sauces, and other standard toppings can turn the same $14.99 cheeseburger into very different orders without adding a dollar for each topping.

Five Guys fries also make per-person math unusual. The company says adding an extra scoop of fries to the bag has been a tradition since 1986 and even suggests that fry portions can be shared.

If two people would otherwise buy two $6.95 Little Fries, they spend $13.90. One $10.91 Large Fries costs $2.99 less, a saving of about 21.5%, if the large portion is enough for both diners.

The fries are freshly cut and cooked twice in refined peanut oil. Five Guys explains its preparation process in its fries and extra-scoop explanation.

Location and Ordering Channel

Five Guys Menu Items

The table above should be used for planning rather than as a promise about the restaurant nearest you. Franchise economics, local wages, rent, ingredient costs, and market conditions can affect restaurant prices.

Ordering channel matters too. DoorDash explicitly notes on current Five Guys menus that delivery and pickup prices can differ. A delivery order can then add a service fee, delivery fee, tax, and driver tip after the food subtotal.

Suppose the food subtotal is our $28.65 Cheeseburger meal example. If a delivery platform later adds a hypothetical $3.99 delivery charge and $3.00 service fee, the order reaches $35.64 before tax and tip. Those fee amounts are only an illustration because actual checkout charges depend on the platform, restaurant, membership, order size, and address.

For the cleanest comparison, select the same Five Guys restaurant and compare in-store or pickup pricing against delivery before ordering.

Five Guys Menu Today

Burgers, hot dogs, fries, sandwiches, and shakes remain the menu core, but the current lineup has changed since older Five Guys price lists were published.

The Patty Melt is now an official item rather than only an unofficial menu hack. Five Guys says it is available everywhere and describes it as a burger patty placed between American-style cheese on an inside-out grilled bun. The current sandwich menu also includes burger bowls and lettuce wraps, while egg sandwiches are available at selected restaurants.

Current milkshakes come in one 16-ounce size, and customers can combine available mix-ins without paying separately for each mix-in. Five Guys does not currently offer a standard children’s menu, although the company points families toward one-patty Little burgers, hot dogs, and grilled cheese.

The company itself has grown considerably since older versions of this article. Five Guys opened in Arlington, Virginia, in 1986. Its official company history traces the business from the Murrell family’s original Washington-area restaurants through franchising and international expansion.

Five Guys now says it has nearly 2,000 locations in 30 countries, far above the approximately 1,670-store figure in older menu guides.

Related Restaurant Costs

Five Guys sits at the expensive end of the burger-and-fries category compared with many traditional fast-food chains. Our current McDonald’s menu price guide shows regular meal deals commonly around $5 to $14+, with current value promotions below the cost of many standalone Five Guys burgers.
