Welcome to Five Guys Santa Cruz, a beloved spot for burger enthusiasts nestled in the heart of Santa Cruz at 1101 Pacific Ave Suite A. Known for their hearty and satisfying burgers, this restaurant is a must-visit for anyone craving a classic American dining experience.
At Five Guys, the focus is on quality. Each burger is crafted with hand-formed patties that are cooked to perfection. Whether you choose the Cheeseburger or the indulgent Bacon Cheeseburger, you're guaranteed a flavorful bite with endless topping options to customize your creation. I highly recommend the Patty Melt, a delightful twist that showcases layers of gooey American cheese grilled to a golden brown perfection between two sesame seed buns. This sandwich really highlights their dedication to quality.
But let’s not forget about the fries! Customers rave about the generous portions served at Five Guys. Made from fresh, hand-cut potatoes, they offer that perfect blend of crispy exterior and tender interior. Many reviewers, like Elizabeth W., have noted, “They always put more than they need to. They are good at taking swift phone orders,” which speaks to their efficient service.
The menu doesn't stop at burgers; also worth trying are their Cheese Dogs or the BLT Sandwich, each offering a blend of flavors that pay homage to classic American fast fare. The choice of milkshakes is another highlight, ensuring your meal isn’t complete without a handspun treat that lets you choose as many mix-ins as you'd like!

Good portion of fries , they always put more than they need to. They are good at taking swift phone orders. Some places make you wait on hold forever before taking your order.

Yes it's expensive but it's the best burger in town. Don't sleep on the Patty Melt. Yum.

A true American burger and experience. The crew working is real, kind and funny. The potatoes are cut and prepared with love and Five Guys, supports local farmers and credit them on their menu! The little bacon cheeseburger could feed a small family and the milkshakes are delish.

Five guys may very well be my new favorite burger place in town! Very high quality burgers done just how you like them. The fries are hand cut and delicious. I would say prices are a bit high but when it's quality it's worth it. I got the grilled cheese burger and it did not disappoint. Sorry about half eaten photo hahah. To the Pacific Street crew... I see you all working so hard and I know you're short staffed. Thanks for always being kind and efficient even during high volume and stressful times. You're a great crew!! Don't forget to tip your service workers people!!!

The Five Guys Burger Joint was empty, only staff. I ordered a Burger, Fries, and a soda. The burger sides grilled onions and American cheese and Bun. The fries were fresh, slight limp, slight crunch, bountiful, and overflowing. The burger looked great, juicy, hot, and nice wrap. The second bite in, I noticed a weird aftertaste, looked over at the staff, and saw them chuckling, not sure why! I tried Salt and Pepper on the burger, and still the aftertaste. At just short of half-eaten, I decided to chuck it! The place was spot-on clean, and all staff were friendly. The Peanuts, as my final try, were nice and pea-nutty. Confused by the weird aftertaste. FYI, I eat grass-fed, Angus, along with regular burgers, and no weird aftertaste. Oh well! Bad day for a burger.

Been here a few times. Yes it's a chain and yes it's just 5-guys burgers and fries. The burgers always taste fresh and are always made on order. The people here at the time of my visits have been extremely nice and professional. The inside is very clean. I've really had no issues here so I do recommend this location. Especially if you enjoy a good fast food burger. .
