    Five Guys – You’ll Flip for their Dairy-Free Burgers & Fries

    5
    By Alisa Fleming on January 20, 2023 Dining Out, Fast Food Restaurants

    Updated January 2023! Five Guys is your basic burger joint with a simple menu and peanuts in the shell to nosh on while you wait. Their buns contain dairy, but their staff can expertly wrap your burger in a whole salad worth of lettuce. We’ve had many readers suggest this fast food joint (in both the U.S. and Canada), so we’ve gathered together this complete dairy-free guide to Five Guys with gluten-free, egg-free, soy-free, and vegan options, too.

    Five Guys Dairy-Free Menu Guide with Allergen & Vegan Options

    Five Guys Dairy-Free Menu Guide with Allergen & Vegan Options

    This menu guide includes dairy-free menu options first, followed by custom order components. Be aware of special order requirements in parentheses () next to the menu items, and see the Heads Up notes to help fill in the blanks.

    Other Allergen & Dietary Notes: All items listed below are made without egg, gluten, and soy, unless otherwise noted. Five Guys reportedly doesn’t source any items containing tree nuts, but peanuts are literally everywhere at their restaurants. For vegan options, see the Vegan Menu Guide at the bottom of this post.

    Burgers

    • Hamburger (lettuce wrap, no bun)
    • Bacon Burger (lettuce wrap, no bun)
    • Little Hamburger (lettuce wrap, no bun)
    • Little Bacon Burger (lettuce wrap, no bun)

    Heads Up! Unfortunately, the Hamburger Buns at Five Guys contain milk. But they make a mean lettuce-wrapped burger.

    Sandwiches & Hot Dogs

    Heads Up! The sandwich buns are the hamburger buns, and the hot dog buns also contain milk. So any toppings must be ordered in a lettuce wrap. The BLT Sandwich and Veggie Sandwiches (just vegetables – Five Guys does not have a veggie burger) are a bit light without the bun.

    Sides

    • Fries
    • Cajun Fries

    Heads Up! Fries are the only items cooked in the fryer at Five Guys. They use peanut oil for frying.

    Meats

    • Bacon
    • Hamburger Patty
    • Hot Dog (contains soy)

    Toppings

    • Green Peppers
    • Grilled Mushrooms
    • Jalapeño Peppers
    • Lettuce
    • Grilled Onions
    • Onions
    • Pickles
    • Tomatoes

    Condiments

    • A.1. Original Steak Sauce
    • Bar-B-Que Sauce
    • Hot Sauce
    • Ketchup
    • Mayonnaise (contains egg, soy)
    • Mustard
    • Relish

    Other Items

    • Bulk Peanuts
    • Eggs
    • Fry Sauce (Utah only) (contains egg, gluten, soy)
    • Malt Vinegar (contains gluten)

    Five Guys Vegan Menu Guide

    They do not have a veggie burger. But vegan guests at Five Guys can order a “veggie lettuce wrap sandwich” (basically a salad), fries, and most of the condiments can be enjoyed. See the lists below for options, but see the items above for allergen notes.

    Vegan Sides

    • Fries
    • Cajun Fries
    • Peanuts

    Vegan Toppings for Lettuce Wraps

    • Green Peppers
    • Grilled Mushrooms
    • Jalapeño Peppers
    • Lettuce
    • Grilled Onions
    • Onions
    • Pickles
    • Tomatoes

    Condiments

    • A.1. Original Steak Sauce
    • Bar-B-Que Sauce
    • Hot Sauce
    • Ketchup
    • Malt Vinegar
    • Mustard
    • Relish

    Menus, ingredients, kitchen procedures, management, food sourcing, and restaurant protocols are subject to change at any time.

    There is always a risk for potential cross-contamination of allergens in any commercial kitchen. If cross-contamination is an issue for you, always speak with the manager to ensure that your meal can be safely prepared. Listings here do not guarantee that a restaurant is safe enough for your individual needs. Only you can make that decision.

    Each location of a chain restaurant has different management and staff, and some might have different owners. This means differences in processes, ingredients used, menu options, and food sourcing can occur. Always verify the safety of your order for your needs at your current location.

    The milk in the bun took me down quickly. I was advised of the milk content but last time in (a few months ago) I was okay with it. Maybe a new vendor?

    Response from Go Dairy Free

    I can’t say. But to the best of our knowledge, and as noted above, the bun has always contained milk at Five Guys. Perhaps more cross-contamination on the grill.

        Thanks Elizabeth, it has been updated!

      Five Guys is great. I have an allergy to dairy and soy, and have never had any problems eating there. I get their burger wrapped in lettuce, and their fries are cooked in peanut oil which is great.

    3. Carla on April 22, 2014 8:18 am

      Five Guys website lists milk and soy as bun ingredients.

      • Alisa Fleming on April 22, 2014 9:52 am

        Yes, indeed, but their lettuce wraps are awesome!! The fries are also great.
