Five Guys gluten-free options
Five Guys has no gluten-free bun, but the burger itself is simple: the patties are 100% beef and the bacon, vegetables and most sauces list no wheat. Order any burger or hot dog as a lettuce wrap or a burger bowl — the price is the same — and pair it with fries, which are potatoes, peanut oil and salt. A Little Cheeseburger as a lettuce wrap is about 370 calories. The kitchen handles wheat all day, so people with coeliac disease should mention it when ordering.
Peanuts at Five Guys
Peanuts are part of the brand: the fries are cooked in refined peanut oil, peanut butter and Reese's cups sit in the milkshake station, and many restaurants put out free peanuts for guests. Highly refined peanut oil is treated differently from peanuts in some allergy guidance, but Five Guys itself warns about cross-contact. If you have a peanut allergy, read the full guide and talk to the crew.
Dairy-free, egg-free and vegan
Without the bun and cheese, a Five Guys hamburger or hot dog has no milk or egg by the guide; skip mayo for egg-free. Vegan options are limited to the fries and the vegetable toppings — a bowl of grilled onions, mushrooms, peppers, lettuce and tomato with fries is a full vegan order. The Veggie Sandwich is vegetarian, not vegan, because of the bun.

Frequently asked questions
Does Five Guys have gluten-free buns?
No. All buns contain wheat. Any burger, hot dog or sandwich can be ordered as a lettuce wrap or in a bowl instead, at the same price.
Are Five Guys fries gluten-free?
The fries are potatoes, refined peanut oil and salt; the Cajun seasoning is garlic, spices, salt and onion. Neither lists wheat or gluten, but the kitchen handles wheat.
Does Five Guys use peanut oil?
Yes, the fries are cooked in refined peanut oil. Peanut butter and Reese's cups are also milkshake mix-ins, and many restaurants have free peanuts in the dining room.
Is Five Guys safe for a peanut allergy?
Five Guys flags peanuts throughout its guide and its kitchens use peanut oil and peanut products. Many people with a peanut allergy avoid it; check with your doctor and the crew before ordering.
Is Five Guys dairy-free?
The buns and cheese contain milk, and so do the shakes. A bunless hamburger or hot dog without cheese, with fries, has no milk ingredients by Five Guys' guide.
What is vegan at Five Guys?
The fries (plain and Cajun) and the vegetable toppings. The Veggie Sandwich is not vegan because the bun contains milk and egg; ordered as a bowl of grilled vegetables it is.
Does the Five Guys burger patty contain allergens?
No. Five Guys lists the patty as 100% beef with none of the nine major allergens.
