Five Guys Louisville KY: Locations, Hours, Prices

Louisville has five Five Guys, and if you only try one, make it St. Matthews at 4226 Shelbyville Road (40207). It’s the closest of the five to downtown. Birdeye and Restaurantji list it as open 11 AM to 10 PM every day, and its 4.4/5 over 1,520 Google reviews is the second-largest sample in the city, just behind Outer Loop. All five list dine-in, curbside pickup and delivery in the chain’s official directory (checked November 2, 2026). The other four are in Middletown, near the Paddock Shops, on Outer Loop and on Dixie Highway. Budget close to $30 for a cheeseburger, fries and a drink on delivery, less at the counter, plus Kentucky’s 6% sales tax.

Five Guys Louisville addresses: all 5 locations compared

Each of Louisville’s five Five Guys has its own phone line and store page. The table shows the services each store page lists and the rating Birdeye relays.

*For The Paddock, Birdeye blends 660 Google reviews with 46 Foursquare reviews, so its 4.5 isn’t a pure Google score. The Paddock’s store page doesn’t mention curbside, but the city directory does: call ahead if you’re counting on it.

Which Five Guys in Louisville should you pick?

If you’re staying downtown, pick St. Matthews: no other Louisville Five Guys is closer. Otherwise, go by neighborhood. Out east, Middletown and The Paddock are the shorter drive. In the south and southwest, Outer Loop and Dixie Highway are. The menu is the same at all five, so there’s no reason to cross town for a particular one.

Five Guys St. Matthews (4226 Shelbyville Rd): the one I recommend

Five Guys St. Matthews is the location I’d send a visitor to. It’s the nearest to downtown, it’s open every day until 10 PM, and 4.4/5 over 1,520 Google reviews (via Birdeye) is a big enough sample to trust. Restaurantji is a little tougher on it: 4.1/5 over 304 reviews, with 4.2 for food, 4.3 for service and 4.1 for atmosphere.

A local opening report places it in the former Hwang’s Martial Arts building, just east of Hubbards Lane. It has dine-in, takeout, delivery, curbside pickup and outdoor seating. The weak spot is the parking lot. One reviewer calls it “terrible”. If you’re in a hurry, order ahead and use curbside. Phone: (502) 891-8848.

Five Guys Middletown KY (13303 Shelbyville Rd)

Five Guys Middletown is at 13303 Shelbyville Road Ste. 104, Louisville, KY 40223. That’s the street number on the official store page; some map listings show a different one, so trust the store page. It offers dine-in, takeout, delivery, curbside pickup and outdoor seating. I couldn’t verify a rating or opening hours for this store at the source, so call (502) 244-1027 before you drive out.

Five Guys Paddock Shops area (4116 Summit Plaza Dr)

On paper, The Paddock at 4116 Summit Plaza Dr. (ZIP 40241) is the best-rated Five Guys in Louisville: 4.5/5 on Birdeye, though that figure mixes 660 Google reviews with 46 from Foursquare. It’s also where the chain started in town, in 2009 (see the history below). The shopping center next door opened in 2001 as The Summit of Louisville and became the Paddock Shops in 2013, according to Wikipedia. Is it worth the drive from downtown? Only if you’re already shopping out there: the burger is the same one you’d get in St. Matthews. Phone: (502) 426-1702.

Five Guys Outer Loop (4901 Outer Loop)

Five Guys Outer Loop is the busiest location by review count. It’s in the Jefferson Commons shopping center in south Louisville, according to mallsinamerica, and has 1,586 Google reviews for a 4.3/5 rating via Birdeye. Reviewers like the staff, and one says the crew “always” throws in extra fries. One complaint stands out: bacon cooked in the morning was still being served in the evening. If bacon matters to you, ask for it fresh off the grill. Phone: (502) 822-3702.

Five Guys Dixie Highway (9050 Dixie Hwy)

Dixie Highway is the least documented of the five. It’s at 9050 Dixie Highway 104, Louisville, KY 40258, in the southwest of the city. The store page lists dine-in, takeout and delivery through the Five Guys app, DoorDash and Uber Eats. I found no rating or hours I could verify, so call (502) 290-9291 first.

Five Guys Louisville hours

St. Matthews, The Paddock and Outer Loop are open 11 AM to 10 PM, Monday through Sunday, according to Birdeye. Restaurantji gives the same hours for St. Matthews. I couldn’t confirm them on the official store pages, which load their hours with JavaScript, and I found none for Middletown or Dixie Highway.

Five Guys Louisville hours according to aggregators (checked Nov. 2, 2026): St. Matthews, The Paddock and Outer Loop are open 11 AM–10 PM daily (Birdeye, Restaurantji). Middletown and Dixie Highway don’t publish hours, so call (502) 244-1027 or (502) 290-9291. (Data: Birdeye and Restaurantji; Table: Burger Breton, CC0)

Hours change, especially on holidays. Check the official Louisville store pages or the Five Guys app before you go.

Five Guys Louisville menu: what to order

Louisville serves the standard US Five Guys menu: hand-formed burgers with free toppings, split and grilled all-beef hot dogs, sandwiches including a BLT, fresh-cut fries and milkshakes with mix-ins. Fries come plain (Five Guys style) or Cajun, cooked in 100% refined peanut oil according to the official menu. Drinks are Coca-Cola and Dr Pepper products.

On its Louisville store pages, the chain says its beef is fresh and that there are “no freezers in our restaurants”. It also claims the fries are cooked twice and that you can build a burger more than 250,000 ways and a shake more than 1,000 ways. The current limited shake is a Reese’s Chocolate Shake.

Most ordered items in Louisville reviews

On Restaurantji, St. Matthews diners mention the cheeseburger most, then the fresh-cut fries, the cheese veggie sandwich, the bacon cheeseburger, the strawberry milkshake and the kosher hot dog. Across Louisville reviews, the bacon cheeseburger gets the warmest praise. My order: a bacon cheeseburger with grilled onions and jalapeños, one regular Cajun fries for two, and a shake. Don’t order a large fries unless you’re feeding a table. To cook it at home, here’s how to make a Five Guys bacon cheeseburger, or try the simpler Five Guys cheeseburger copycat.

Five Guys Louisville menu prices: what a meal costs

Five Guys doesn’t publish local prices, so I can’t give you a verified Louisville menu. The Louisville price lists online are undated. The closest dated figures I found are delivery prices that thepricer.org recorded in Ashburn and Baltimore (not Louisville), updated September 1, 2026:

Five Guys menu prices as a benchmark: delivery prices recorded in Ashburn and Baltimore, not Louisville, before tax (updated Sept. 1, 2026). Cheeseburger $14.52–$14.99, Little Hamburger $9.47, regular fries $8.99, 16 oz milkshake $7.86–$8.39, cheeseburger + fries + drink about $28.65. Add Kentucky’s 6% sales tax (about $1.72 on the combo). (Data: thepricer.org (Sept. 1, 2026) and Stripe (Kentucky sales tax); Table: Burger Breton, CC0)

On those numbers, a cheeseburger, regular fries and a drink comes to about $28.65, or about $30.37 with Kentucky’s flat 6% sales tax. Delivery menus usually run above counter prices, so expect to pay less in the store. The Five Guys app shows the exact price once you select a Louisville location. The easiest saving is to share the fries: Louisville reviewers keep saying one regular order feeds two.

Five Guys Louisville reviews: what diners say

Louisville diners rate their Five Guys well: the three locations Birdeye covers score 4.3 to 4.5 out of 5. The praise comes back again and again: fresh food, crispy fries, big portions, friendly staff, the bacon cheeseburger. So do the complaints: waits (one reviewer waited 25 minutes), orders missing cheese or toppings, food some find greasy, and the price.

Bar chart of Five Guys Louisville Google ratings via Birdeye (Nov. 2, 2026): The Paddock 4.5/5 (706 reviews), St. Matthews 4.4/5 (1,520), Outer Loop 4.3/5 (1,586). Restaurantji gives St. Matthews 4.1/5 (304). No verifiable rating for Middletown or Dixie Highway. (Chart: Burger Breton, original work (CC BY 4.0); data: Birdeye and Restaurantji, https://www.restaurantji.com/ky/louisville/five-guys-/)

On Restaurantji, St. Matthews reviews split 59% five stars, 14% four stars, 6% three stars, 10% two stars and 11% one star. That’s roughly one diner in five with a bad visit. Reading the reviews, the problems are mostly with service at busy hours, not with the beef. Check your bag before you leave.

Sub-scores: food 4.2, service 4.3, atmosphere 4.1. (Chart: Burger Breton, original work (CC BY 4.0); data: Restaurantji, https://www.restaurantji.com/ky/louisville/five-guys-/)

How I put this together: I read the review platforms that publish their Louisville figures at the source (Birdeye for Google, and Restaurantji) and summarized the themes that recur, not one-off comments. I couldn’t access Yelp and TripAdvisor at the source, so their scores aren’t used. These are third-party ratings, so Five Guys gets no Burger Breton rating here.

When Five Guys came to Louisville: the 2009 arrival

Five Guys arrived in Louisville in 2009. That July, franchisee Kevin Kynerd of Birmingham, Alabama, and his partners, who already ran the two Five Guys in New Albany, Indiana, announced 10 Louisville restaurants by 2015, according to the Courier-Journal as reported by Fast Casual. Today there are five.

On September 2, 2009, Robin Garr of Louisville Hot Bytes reviewed the first one, “at Springhurst” at 4116 Summit Plaza Drive, and gave it 85 points. A Little Cheeseburger cost $3.59 then; a bacon cheeseburger, $5.79. St. Matthews came later, with an opening announced for “Feb. 3” in a source that doesn’t give the year.

The chain is older than its Louisville run. Jerry and Janie Murrell founded Five Guys in Arlington, Virginia, in 1986, and began franchising in 2002. The 2,000th restaurant opened on September 25, 2026, at Universal CityWalk in Orlando, according to QSR Magazine. Our Five Guys brand profile has the full history and figures.

Five Guys in Louisville’s burger culture

Five Guys is the safe chain bet in a city that says it invented the cheeseburger. Local lore credits Carl Kaelin with adding cheese to a burger in 1934. The claim is disputed: Pasadena’s Rite Spot claims 1924 to 1926, and a 1928 Los Angeles menu already lists burgers with cheese, as our history of the hamburger explains. Louisville also features in our National Cheeseburger Day 2026 deals coverage.

My honest take: Five Guys is a fine burger, but you can get it in 2,000 places. Louisville gave the world the Hot Brown, created at the Brown Hotel in 1926, and Benedictine spread. Eat one local meal while you’re here. Our Louisville burger guide covers the city’s wider burger scene.
