Ordered large Cajun spice fries with a veggie sandwich. Both were really good, especially the fries. Also enjoyed the peanuts. Never had peanuts like this in Canada before. We struggled to finish the large fries because of the quantity. They filled the cup and also threw some fries in the bag, so it was hard to finish them.

This was another spur of the moment visit to this location… mostly because of the terrible location. It’s great that we dont have to drive 10 …12 or 15 hours to visit a Five Guys, but there’s lots of vacant lots in Dartmouth Crossing .. lots of room for a Five Guys of our own . My wife didn’t request tomatoes…or lettuce but got them anyway. That’s not a big deal but it’s sticks in the back of the mind as a bad experience…that little hiccup won’t stop me from heading back, tho.

5 Guys is a great place to go if you want an awesome burger. The service is great and fast. They offer free fresh peanuts in the shell while you wait. Didn’t have a chance to eat them the food came so quick. Tons of fries and their milkshakes are good too.

Five Guys in chain lack delivers a consistently satisfying burger experience. The burgers are juicy and flavorful, and the fries—especially the Cajun-style—are a standout. Portion sizes are generous, and the staff is friendly and attentive. While prices are a bit higher than typical fast food, the quality justifies the cost. Whether you're dining in or taking out, Five Guys is a reliable choice for a hearty, delicious meal.

The person at the till didn't seem like they wanted to be there, or could have just been having a hard day. Still, our order was correct. I love all the burger topping options, and the copious amount of OMG-SO-PERFECT fries will satisfy even the hungriest. One thing I really appreciate at 5 Guys is their common sense about bathrooms. They're not (binary) gendered. Just 'bathrooms,' as they should be. Thanks, 5 Guys, for doing your part normalizing this practice!

We ordered the Cajun style poutine, and it was worth every penny! I love that the fries are freshly cut from Maritime potatoes, and I appreciate that they fry them in peanut oil, which is a healthier oil. The music was obnoxiously loud when we first came in, but they did eventually lower the volume to a more tolerable level, which was appreciated. I definitely recommend this location!

The service and was awesome! Burger and fries were perfectly cooked. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars, was it was hard/impossible to find a table that was clean. I got napkins and sanitized my own table.
