Let me be honest with you about something most burger guides will never admit: I have walked into a Five Guys location expecting to spend $10 and walked out having spent $18. No regrets. Zero. That is the Five Guys experience in a nutshell.
You know it will cost more than the drive-through down the street. You go anyway.
Why? Because the five guys burgers menu is built on a completely different philosophy than every other fast food chain in America. Fresh beef, never frozen. Buns baked daily. Toppings that are genuinely free, not a marketing trick. And a kitchen where your order is cooked from scratch every single time.
This guide covers everything you need to know about the five guys burgers menu in 2026: real prices, calories, toppings, allergens, catering packages, and honest comparisons. Bookmark it. You will come back.
The five guys burgers menu keeps things refreshingly simple. Eight burger options. Two sizes: regular and Little. Every topping is free. That is the whole model, and it works brilliantly.

Five Guys Burgers Nutrition Facts and Calories
Five Guys burgers are made with fresh, never frozen 80/20 USDA ground chuck, cooked on a flat top grill, and served on a toasted sesame seed bun. The nutritional profile varies significantly between the regular double-patty versions and the Little single-patty versions.
Hamburger and Little Hamburger Nutrition
The Hamburger contains 840 calories, 43g total fat, 17g saturated fat, 39g carbohydrates, 2g fiber, 8g sugar, 39g protein, and 430mg sodium. The Little Hamburger gives you 540 calories, 26g total fat, 8g saturated fat, 39g carbohydrates, 2g fiber, 8g sugar, 23g protein, and 380mg sodium.
Burger | Calories | Fat (g) | Sat. Fat (g) | Carbs (g) | Fiber (g) | Sugar (g) | Protein (g) | Sodium (mg) |
Hamburger | 840 | 43 | 17 | 39 | 2 | 8 | 39 | 430 |
Little Hamburger | 540 | 26 | 8 | 39 | 2 | 8 | 23 | 380 |
The Little Hamburger is the lowest-calorie burger on the entire Five Guys menu. If you want to keep calories under control, this is your starting point. Skip the bun and order it as a lettuce wrap and you drop approximately 240 calories instantly, since the bun accounts for the majority of carbohydrates in every burger.
Cheeseburger and Little Cheeseburger Nutrition
The Cheeseburger contains 980 calories, 55g total fat, 22g saturated fat, 40g carbohydrates, 2g fiber, 9g sugar, 47g protein, and 1050mg sodium. The Little Cheeseburger contains 610 calories, 32g total fat, 11g saturated fat, 40g carbohydrates, 2g fiber, 9g sugar, 27g protein, and 690mg sodium.
Burger | Calories | Fat (g) | Sat. Fat (g) | Carbs (g) | Fiber (g) | Sugar (g) | Protein (g) | Sodium (mg) |
Cheeseburger | 980 | 55 | 22 | 40 | 2 | 9 | 47 | 1050 |
Little Cheeseburger | 610 | 32 | 11 | 40 | 2 | 9 | 27 | 690 |
The jump from 430mg to 1050mg sodium between the Hamburger and Cheeseburger reflects the American cheese addition. If sodium is a concern for you, the plain Hamburger or Little Hamburger is the cleaner option.
Bacon Burger and Little Bacon Burger Nutrition
The Bacon Burger contains 920 calories, 50g total fat, 20g saturated fat, 39g carbohydrates, 2g fiber, 8g sugar, 44g protein, and 690mg sodium. The Little Bacon Burger contains 620 calories, 33g total fat, 10g saturated fat, 39g carbohydrates, 2g fiber, 8g sugar, 28g protein, and 640mg sodium.
Burger | Calories | Fat (g) | Sat. Fat (g) | Carbs (g) | Fiber (g) | Sugar (g) | Protein (g) | Sodium (mg) |
Bacon Burger | 920 | 50 | 20 | 39 | 2 | 8 | 44 | 690 |
Little Bacon Burger | 620 | 33 | 10 | 39 | 2 | 8 | 28 | 640 |
Bacon Cheeseburger and Little Bacon Cheeseburger Nutrition
The Bacon Cheeseburger has the highest number of calories on the burger menu. It offers 1060 calories, 62g total fat, 25g saturated fat, 40g carbohydrates, 2g fiber, 9g sugar, 52g protein, and 1310mg sodium. The Little Bacon Cheeseburger contains 690 calories, 39g total fat, 14g saturated fat, 40g carbohydrates, 2g fiber, 9g sugar, 32g protein, and 950mg sodium.
Burger | Calories | Fat (g) | Sat. Fat (g) | Carbs (g) | Fiber (g) | Sugar (g) | Protein (g) | Sodium (mg) |
Bacon Cheeseburger | 1060 | 62 | 25 | 40 | 2 | 9 | 52 | 1310 |
Little Bacon Cheeseburger | 690 | 39 | 14 | 40 | 2 | 9 | 32 | 950 |
The Bacon Cheeseburger at 1060 calories is the most indulgent item in the burger lineup. It also delivers 52g of protein, which is exceptional for a single fast food item. High protein, high calorie — this one is genuinely filling and genuinely rich.
Five Guys Hot Dogs Nutrition Facts and Calories
Five Guys hot dogs are grilled lengthwise for a crunchy exterior and are made from 100% fresh beef franks. The calorie profile on hot dogs is noticeably lower than the burgers across the board, making them a practical choice for customers watching their intake.
Hot Dog and Cheese Dog Nutrition
The classic Hot Dog contains 520 calories, 35g total fat, 14g saturated fat, 40g carbohydrates, 2g fiber, 8g sugar, 18g protein, and 1130mg sodium. The Cheese Dog contains 590 calories, 41g total fat, 17g saturated fat, 40.5g carbohydrates, 2g fiber, 9g sugar, 22g protein, and 1440mg sodium.
Hot Dog | Calories | Fat (g) | Sat. Fat (g) | Carbs (g) | Fiber (g) | Sugar (g) | Protein (g) | Sodium (mg) |
Hot Dog | 520 | 35 | 14 | 40 | 2 | 8 | 18 | 1130 |
Cheese Dog | 590 | 41 | 17 | 40.5 | 2 | 9 | 22 | 1440 |
The sodium numbers on the hot dogs are notably high relative to their calorie count. The plain Hot Dog has 1130mg of sodium in 520 calories. For context, the American Heart Association recommends no more than 2300mg of sodium per day for most adults. A single hot dog uses nearly half that daily budget.
Bacon Dog and Bacon Cheese Dog Nutrition
The Bacon Cheese Dog contains 670 calories, 48g total fat, 20g saturated fat, 40.5g carbohydrates, 2g fiber, 9g sugar, 27g protein, and 1700mg sodium.
Hot Dog | Calories | Fat (g) | Sat. Fat (g) | Carbs (g) | Fiber (g) | Sugar (g) | Protein (g) | Sodium (mg) |
Bacon Dog | 600 | 42 | 17 | 40 | 2 | 8 | 23 | 1390 |
Bacon Cheese Dog | 670 | 48 | 20 | 40.5 | 2 | 9 | 27 | 1700 |
The Bacon Cheese Dog at 1700mg sodium is the highest sodium item in the hot dog lineup. If you are managing blood pressure or daily sodium limits, the plain Hot Dog in a lettuce wrap is the most practical option in this category.
Five Guys Sandwiches Nutrition Facts and Calories
Five Guys sandwiches are the lighter, meatless side of the menu. They include the Veggie Sandwich, Cheese Veggie Sandwich, Grilled Cheese, and BLT.
Sandwiches Nutrition Breakdown
The Veggie Sandwich contains 265 calories, 9g total fat, 4g saturated fat, 49g carbohydrates, 3g fiber, 8g sugar, 7g protein, and 436mg sodium.
Sandwich | Calories | Fat (g) | Sat. Fat (g) | Carbs (g) | Fiber (g) | Sugar (g) | Protein (g) | Sodium (mg) |
Veggie Sandwich | 265 | 9 | 4 | 49 | 3 | 8 | 7 | 436 |

Grilled Cheese | 470 | 25 | 12 | 48 | 2 | 8 | 17 | 810 |
BLT | 410 | 26 | 8 | 43 | 2 | 9 | 12 | 640 |
The Veggie Sandwich at 265 calories is the lowest-calorie item on the entire Five Guys menu. It is substantially lighter than any burger option and provides 7g of protein. If you are eating at Five Guys and want the lightest possible meal, the Veggie Sandwich in a lettuce wrap is your best choice.
The Grilled Cheese at 470 calories and 810mg sodium sits mid-range. It is a satisfying vegetarian option but notably higher in sodium than the plain Veggie Sandwich.
Five Guys Fries Nutrition Facts and Calories
Five Guys fries are cut fresh daily from whole potatoes, cooked twice in 100% peanut oil, and served with either standard salt or Cajun seasoning. The portion sizes at Five Guys are famously generous, which directly affects the calorie numbers.
Five Guys Style Fries Nutrition
Size | Calories | Fat (g) | Sat. Fat (g) | Carbs (g) | Fiber (g) | Sugar (g) | Protein (g) | Sodium (mg) |
Little Fries | 526 | 23 | 4 | 72 | 5 | 1 | 8 | 432 |
Regular Fries | 953 | 41 | 7 | 131 | 9 | 2 | 15 | 785 |
Large Fries | 1,314 | 57 | 10 | 181 | 12 | 3 | 21 | 1,082 |
Cajun Style Fries Nutrition
Large Cajun Style Fries deliver bold flavor with 1328 calories, 57g total fat, 10g saturated fat, 184g carbohydrates, 12g fiber, 4g sugar, 20g protein, and 1658mg sodium.
Size | Calories | Fat (g) | Sat. Fat (g) | Carbs (g) | Fiber (g) | Sugar (g) | Protein (g) | Sodium (mg) |
Little Cajun Fries | 540 | 23 | 4 | 74 | 5 | 1 | 8 | 655 |
Regular Cajun Fries | 967 | 41 | 7 | 134 | 9 | 2 | 15 | 1,190 |
Large Cajun Fries | 1,328 | 57 | 10 | 184 | 12 | 4 | 20 | 1,658 |
The most important number here is the Regular Fries at 953 calories. This is the size most individual customers default to. Nearly 1000 calories for a side dish is a significant portion of most daily calorie budgets. The Little Fries at 526 calories is the smarter individual portion.
The Cajun Fries are only marginally higher in calories than regular fries. The meaningful difference is sodium. The Large Cajun Fries add 576mg more sodium than the Large regular fries. If you are watching sodium intake, the regular salted fries at the Little size is the most controlled option.
Five Guys Milkshakes Nutrition Facts and Calories
Five Guys offers hand-spun vanilla-based shakes with classic and unique flavors. Every shake starts with the same vanilla ice cream base and whole milk. The mix-ins you choose directly affect the calorie count beyond the base.
Core Milkshake Flavors Nutrition
The Vanilla Shake contains 670 calories, 32g total fat, 15g saturated fat, 84g carbohydrates, 0g fiber, 74g sugar, 15g protein, and 240mg sodium.

The Strawberry Shake contains 690 calories, 32g total fat, 15g saturated fat, 84g carbohydrates, 0g fiber, 78g sugar, 15g protein, and 245mg sodium.
Milkshake | Calories | Fat (g) | Sat. Fat (g) | Carbs (g) | Sugar (g) | Protein (g) | Sodium (mg) |
Vanilla Shake | 670 | 32 | 15 | 84 | 74 | 15 | 240 |
Chocolate Shake | 710 | 33 | 15 | 92 | 80 | 15 | 250 |
Strawberry Shake | 690 | 32 | 15 | 84 | 78 | 15 | 245 |

Coffee Shake | 760 | 33 | 15 | 96 | 83 | 16 | 255 |
Double Chocolate Shake | 860 | 41 | 17 | 109 | 93 | 18 | 370 |
The sugar numbers on milkshakes deserve attention. The Salted Caramel Shake contains 92g of sugar. The Double Chocolate contains 93g. For reference, the American Heart Association recommends no more than 25g of added sugar per day for women and 36g for men. A single shake exceeds that recommendation significantly across every flavor.
The Vanilla Shake at 670 calories and 74g sugar is the lightest option if you want a shake. The Peanut Butter Shake at 880 calories is the most calorie-dense permanent flavor, though it also delivers the most protein at 22g.
Five Guys Toppings Nutrition Facts and Calories
This is where the Five Guys experience can quietly add a significant number of calories without you realizing it. All toppings are free, but that does not mean they are calorie-free.
Toppings Calories Reference
Topping | Calories | Fat (g) | Carbs (g) | Protein (g) | Sodium (mg) |
American Cheese (1 slice) | 70 | 6 | 0 | 4 | 310 |
Bacon (2 strips) | 80 | 7 | 0 | 5 | 260 |
Grilled Mushrooms | 10 | 0 | 2 | 1 | 5 |
Grilled Onions | 30 | 0 | 7 | 1 | 5 |
Jalapeno Peppers | 3 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
Green Peppers | 5 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
Lettuce | 5 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 5 |
Tomato | 5 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
Pickles | 5 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 180 |
Ketchup (1 tbsp) | 15 | 0 | 4 | 0 | 90 |
Mustard (1 tsp) | 5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 55 |
Mayo (1 tbsp) | 100 | 11 | 0 | 0 | 75 |
Hot Sauce (1 tsp) | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 100 |
BBQ Sauce (1 tbsp) | 30 | 0 | 8 | 0 | 200 |
A1 Sauce (1 tbsp) | 15 | 0 | 3 | 0 | 280 |
Relish (1 tbsp) | 15 | 0 | 4 | 0 | 85 |
The most calorie-significant additions are American Cheese (70 cal per slice), Bacon (80 cal), and Mayo (100 cal per tablespoon). A burger with double cheese, bacon, and mayo adds approximately 330 calories beyond the base burger. That turns a 540-calorie Little Hamburger into an 870-calorie meal before you even touch the fries.
Fresh vegetable toppings like lettuce, tomato, jalapenos, and green peppers are essentially zero-calorie additions. Load up on those freely.
Lowest Calorie Options at Five Guys
If you are eating at Five Guys and managing calories carefully, here are the smartest ordering choices ranked by calorie count.
Lowest calorie full meal builds:
Meal Build | Total Approx. Calories |
Veggie Sandwich (lettuce wrap, no cheese/mayo) | 140 cal |
Little Hamburger (lettuce wrap, no toppings) | 305 cal |
Little Hamburger (with bun, no toppings) | 540 cal |
Little Cheeseburger (lettuce wrap) | 375 cal |
Little Bacon Cheeseburger (lettuce wrap) | 450 cal |
Little Fries (regular style) + water | 526 cal |
The lettuce wrap removes the bun entirely. Since the Five Guys bun contributes approximately 235 calories, 28g carbohydrates, and significant sodium to every burger, removing it is the single most impactful calorie reduction you can make while still eating at Five Guys.
Five Guys Nutrition and Specific Diets
Keto and Low-Carb
The bun is the only significant carbohydrate source in a Five Guys burger or hot dog. Remove it and order as a lettuce wrap or bowl, and you have a high-fat, high-protein, very low-carb meal.
A Little Bacon Cheeseburger in a lettuce wrap contains approximately 3g net carbs. The beef, bacon, and cheese all contribute essentially zero carbohydrates. This makes Five Guys one of the more keto-friendly fast food options available once you remove the bun.
Best keto meal at Five Guys: Any burger or hot dog as a lettuce wrap with cheese, bacon, and mustard. Avoid ketchup, BBQ sauce, and relish as these contain added sugars. Skip the fries and shakes entirely.
High Protein
As shown in the protein table above, Five Guys burgers deliver exceptional protein counts. The regular double-patty burgers provide 39g to 52g of protein per serving. For active individuals targeting 150g to 200g of protein daily, a Bacon Cheeseburger contributes a meaningful portion of that goal in one meal.
Vegetarian
The Veggie Sandwich at 265 calories is the primary vegetarian option. It is not high in protein at 7g, but it is the cleanest and lightest item on the menu. Add American cheese for an extra 70 calories and 4g of protein.
Sodium Awareness
Five Guys is not the right restaurant for low-sodium eating. Even the simplest items carry significant sodium: the plain Hot Dog has 1130mg in a single serving. Anyone managing hypertension or on a doctor-recommended low-sodium diet should approach Five Guys with awareness.
The lowest sodium complete meal at Five Guys is the Veggie Sandwich in a lettuce wrap with fresh toppings only, which comes in around 200-250mg of sodium. That is genuinely low for a fast food meal and worth knowing.z
Highest Protein Options at Five Guys
For customers focused on protein rather than calories, Five Guys is actually a strong performer.
Item | Protein (g) | Calories |
Bacon Cheeseburger | 52 | 1060 |
Cheeseburger | 47 | 980 |
Bacon Burger | 44 | 920 |
Hamburger | 39 | 840 |
Little Bacon Cheeseburger | 32 | 690 |
Peanut Butter Shake | 22 | 880 |
Large Fries | 21 | 1,314 |
Little Cheeseburger | 27 | 610 |
The Bacon Cheeseburger delivers 52g of protein in a single item, which is an exceptional number for any restaurant meal, fast food or otherwise. The beef is 80/20 ground chuck, which means it is high in both protein and fat simultaneously. For anyone in a high-protein bulk phase, Five Guys burgers are genuinely efficient.

But knowing the numbers genuinely changes how you order. Choosing the Little Hamburger over the Bacon Cheeseburger saves you 520 calories. Choosing the lettuce wrap over the bun saves another 235. Choosing the Little Fries instead of the Regular saves 427 calories.
Small decisions, significant differences. The full Five Guys experience is still available to you at any calorie target if you use the nutrition information to make deliberate choices rather than default ones.
