Five Guys Philadelphia: Locations, Menu, Prices

Five Guys has four restaurants in Philadelphia: 1527 Chestnut St. in Center City, 1717 North 12th St. by Temple University, 3714 Spruce St. in University City next to Penn, and 2552 Grant Avenue in Northeast Philly. Visiting? Go to Five Guys Chestnut Street. It is the original Philadelphia location, open since summer 2006, near 16th and Chestnut and a short walk from Rittenhouse. Budget $10 to $20 per person, according to Restaurant Guru; delivery apps list a cheeseburger at $14.52 before tax. My take after going through every official page and four review platforms: a dependable burger stop, not a reason to skip a cheesesteak.

Five Guys Philadelphia locations: the 4 addresses compared

Philadelphia has four Five Guys, all listed in the chain’s official directory. I went through the directory and each location page on October 15, 2026. All four list takeout and delivery. Three list dine-in. Only one, Grant Avenue, mentions outdoor seating.

Which Five Guys to pick in Philadelphia

Pick by where you are staying: Chestnut Street if you are visiting, the nearest campus restaurant if you are a student, Grant Avenue if you are driving around Northeast Philly.

• Visiting Center City or Rittenhouse: Chestnut St. It is the most central location, and with over 1,500 Google reviews it is also the easiest to judge.
• On or near Temple’s Main Campus: North 12th Street, under the Vantage student residence near Cecil B. Moore Avenue.
• At Penn or Drexel: University City on Spruce Street, next to Penn’s Quad.
• In Northeast Philadelphia, by car: The Court at Grant Avenue, in a shopping center, and the only location with outdoor seating listed.

Five Guys Chestnut Street: address, getting there and services

Five Guys Chestnut Street is at 1527 Chestnut St., Philadelphia, PA 19102, phone 215-972-1375, and offers dine-in, takeout, delivery and online ordering. Restaurantji and Restaurant Guru list the same address and phone number as the official page.

It sits near the corner of 16th and Chestnut, a few minutes on foot from Dilworth Park and City Hall. Store Opening Hours puts the nearest station at 15th Street, about 190 m (620 ft) away on SEPTA’s Market-Frankford Line, with the Broad Street Line and bus routes 4, 9, 12 and 27 close by. Two caveats: that data comes from an aggregator, and SEPTA is renaming its lines in 2026. Check the current names in the SEPTA trip planner before you set out.

Restaurant Guru says the restaurant is wheelchair accessible, takes credit cards, has no outdoor seating and does not take reservations. The official page says nothing about payment, accessibility or parking, and none of my sources lists dedicated parking. Walk, take transit or use a nearby garage.

The campus locations: Five Guys at Temple and Penn

Both campus restaurants are ordinary Five Guys in the chain’s public directory: you do not need a student ID to order. Each comes with a quirk worth knowing.

Five Guys Temple University (North 12th Street)

Five Guys North 12th Street is at 1717 North 12th St., Philadelphia, PA 19122, phone 215-763-5489, near Cecil B. Moore Avenue. The sources disagree on dine-in. The location page lists takeout, delivery and curbside pickup, while the city directory shows “In-store Dining.” Call before you plan to eat there. The same page mentions “Breakfast,” which surprised me. No other source confirms it, and Five Guys does not usually serve breakfast in the US, so I would not count on it without a phone call. In 2021 Temple News reported that the restaurant accepted Diamond Dollars, Temple’s campus currency. Nothing more recent confirms it.

Five Guys University City (Penn, Spruce Street)

Five Guys University City is at 3714 Spruce St., Philadelphia, PA 19104, phone 215-222-0760, next to Penn’s Quad, with dine-in, takeout and delivery. The 2,296 sq ft (about 213 m²) restaurant was announced in August 2021. It opened in January 2023, about 17 months later, after supply-chain delays.

Five Guys Grant Avenue, Northeast Philadelphia

Five Guys The Court at Grant Avenue is at 2552 Grant Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19114, phone 215-677-3155, inside the shopping center of the same name. It offers dine-in, takeout, delivery and outdoor seating. For drivers in Northeast Philly it is the obvious choice. A shopping center usually means a parking lot, but I could not confirm one.

Five Guys Philadelphia opening hours

None of the four Philadelphia Five Guys has hours I could confirm from an official source. Check the location page or call before you go. The official site loads its hours with JavaScript, and the third-party listings contradict each other.

• Chestnut St.: Restaurantji and Restaurant Guru show 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily; Store Opening Hours shows 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily. Neither is confirmed.
• North 12th Street (Temple): Temple News reported 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. at opening in February 2021. That may have changed.
• University City and Grant Avenue: no reliable hours found.

For hours you can trust, open the Chestnut St. page or call 215-972-1375. Going after 9 p.m.? Call first: that is exactly where the listings disagree.

Five Guys Philadelphia menu: what to order

Philadelphia gets the standard Five Guys menu: burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, fries and milkshakes. I found nothing exclusive to Philly. The chain claims more than 250,000 ways to build a burger and more than 1,000 milkshake combinations.

The official Chestnut St. page says the beef is fresh and ground in the restaurant, with no freezers on site. Fries are cooked twice in 100% peanut oil, and there are free peanuts while you wait.

Chestnut St. reviewers keep coming back to the same items: the bacon cheeseburger, the Cajun fries, the milkshakes, and burgers that stay juicy even well done. That is the order I would place, with one adjustment. Share a regular Cajun fries between two. Reviewers call the portion generous, and at $7.80 on delivery it is not a side you want to waste.

Five Guys Philadelphia prices

A Five Guys cheeseburger in Philadelphia costs $14.52 on delivery apps, and Restaurant Guru puts a typical meal at $10 to $20 per person. The prices below were shown for Chestnut St. on delivery platforms on October 15, 2026. Expect in-store prices to be lower, and add Philadelphia sales tax either way.

Five Guys Philadelphia prices on delivery apps for Chestnut St. on October 15, 2026: Bacon Cheeseburger $15.96, Cheeseburger $14.52, Little Cheeseburger $11.10, Little Hamburger $9.90, Milkshake $7.86, Regular Fries $7.80 and Little Fries $6.36. Prices are before Philadelphia sales tax and fees and are probably higher than in-store prices. (Chart: Burger Breton, CC BY 4.0, data from Menus With Price and DoorDash (October 15, 2026), rendered with QuickChart)

Sources: Menus With Price and DoorDash, as shown on October 15, 2026. A cheeseburger, regular fries and a shake come to $30.18 on delivery, before tax and fees. That is steep for fast casual. For the real in-store price, pick your location in the Five Guys app or website and build the order before you pay.

Five Guys Philadelphia delivery and online ordering

Every Philadelphia Five Guys takes orders on the Five Guys website and app, on DoorDash and on Uber Eats. I would use the official app. It shows your location’s own menu prices, which are usually lower than on delivery apps, and ordering ahead skips the peak-hour wait reviewers complain about.

Five Guys Philadelphia reviews: is it worth it?

Five Guys Chestnut Street gets good reviews, not glowing ones. Reviewers like the burgers and fries but give price and service mixed marks. Restaurant Guru reports a Google rating of 4.1/5 from 1,523 reviews; Restaurantji shows 3.8/5 from 296.

Five Guys Philadelphia reviews: Chestnut St. ratings on October 15, 2026. Google 4.1/5 from 1,523 reviews (via Restaurant Guru), Tripadvisor 4.0/5 from 160, Restaurantji 3.8/5 from 296 and Yelp 3.3/5 from 237. The Yelp and Tripadvisor figures come from search previews. (Chart: Burger Breton, CC BY 4.0, data from Restaurant Guru, Restaurantji, Yelp and Tripadvisor (October 15, 2026), rendered with QuickChart)

Methodology: on October 15, 2026, I read the Chestnut St. listings on Restaurantji and Restaurant Guru and grouped the recurring themes. Yelp and Tripadvisor would not load, so their figures come from search previews and are only indicative. The Restaurantji breakdown tells the real story. 49% of ratings are five stars and 17% are one star. People either love this branch or leave annoyed.

What diners praise: juicy burgers even when cooked well done, a generous portion of fries, the bacon cheeseburger, Cajun fries, milkshakes and staff often described as friendly.

What diners criticize: high prices, uneven service and waits at peak times. One review says portions shrank after a packaging change; a November 2025 review complained about bacon quality and cleanliness.

My verdict: Chestnut St. does what Five Guys does everywhere, a big custom burger and too many fries, in the middle of Center City. It is not a bargain and not a destination meal. If you only have room for one burger in Philadelphia, check our guide to the best burgers in Philadelphia first.

Five Guys in the city of the cheesesteak

In Philadelphia, Five Guys is for a quick custom burger, not a stand-in for the city’s own food. Eat a cheesesteak first. Then come here when you want something familiar and easy to tailor, which is often the case for students and anyone traveling with picky eaters.

History of Five Guys in Philadelphia

Five Guys arrived in Philadelphia in summer 2006 and now has four locations in the city, the two newest on the Temple and Penn campuses.

• February 1986: the Murrell family (Jerry and Janie Murrell and their five sons) founds Five Guys in Arlington, Virginia (Wikipedia).
• Summer 2006: Five Guys opens at 1527 Chestnut Street in Center City. Philadelphia Magazine expected it to open the week of July 17, 2006, pending inspection. The chain already had suburban locations in Clifton Heights, Glen Mills and Wayne, and one in Audubon, New Jersey.
• February 17, 2021: the Temple location opens under the Vantage residence on 12th Street, pushed back from late 2020 by the March 2020 construction halt (Temple News).
• August 2021: Five Guys announces a 2,296 sq ft (about 213 m²) location on Spruce Street near Penn (PhillyVoice).
• January 12, 2023: the Penn location opens after supply-chain delays and work on Stouffer College House. It takes over the former Beijing Restaurant, which closed in September 2020 after 32 years, and becomes the city’s fourth Five Guys (The Daily Pennsylvanian).
• September 25, 2026: the chain opens its 2,000th restaurant at Universal CityWalk in Orlando and now operates in 30 countries (press release).
