You know that feeling when you're driving down Route 146 and you just need a burger that weighs more than your phone? That's usually when people start looking for the Five Guys Sutton MA location. It’s tucked away in that Pleasant Valley Crossing spot, right there at 26 Galaxy Pass. Honestly, if you’ve lived in the Blackstone Valley for more than five minutes, you probably know the shopping center better as "the place with the Market 32 and the Starbucks."
But the Five Guys? It’s kind of its own beast.
It opened up as part of the first phase of that development, and it has pretty much stayed the local go-to for when you want to spend twenty bucks on lunch but feel completely justified because the bag is literally translucent from fry grease. People have opinions about this place. Strong ones.
The Reality of Eating at Five Guys Sutton MA
Walking into the Sutton location, it's exactly what you'd expect from the brand: red and white tiles, sacks of potatoes acting as decor, and that specific smell of peanut oil that clings to your hoodie for three days. It’s loud. It’s bright.
And the peanuts? They’re still there. You can still crack them open and make a mess while you wait for your number to be called, which is honestly one of the few simple joys left in fast-casual dining.
What’s actually on the menu?
Most regulars don't even look at the board anymore. They just know. But if you’re new or just haven't been in a while, here is the basic breakdown of what you're looking at:
- The Burgers: Everything is a double unless you specifically order a "Little" burger. A standard cheeseburger is two patties, hand-formed, no freezers involved.
- The Fries: They only fry in 100% peanut oil. You’ve got the Five Guys Style or the Cajun. Pro tip: even a "Little" fry is usually enough to feed a small village. They always throw an extra scoop in the bag. It’s a law or something.
- The Shakes: These have become a huge deal in Sutton. You can mix in stuff like bacon (don't knock it until you try it) or salted caramel.
- The Dogs and Sandwiches: For the people who aren't in a burger mood, there's a surprisingly decent kosher-style hot dog and a grilled cheese that is basically just an inside-out burger bun.
Why This Specific Location Matters
The Five Guys Sutton MA store is strategically positioned. It draws people from Millbury, Uxbridge, and even folks coming down from Worcester who don't want to deal with the Lincoln Street traffic.

Being at 26 Galaxy Pass means it's a prime "after-errand" stop. You finish your grocery shopping, you realize you're starving, and suddenly you're standing at the counter ordering a bacon cheeseburger with "all the way" toppings. "All the way" gets you mayo, lettuce, pickles, tomatoes, grilled onions, grilled mushrooms, ketchup, and mustard. It’s a lot. It’s messy. It’s perfect.
One thing that surprises people who don't visit often is the price. Let's be real: it’s not cheap. You’re looking at $12 to $14 for just the burger in 2026. By the time you add a regular fry and a drink, you've easily cleared $22.
But here’s the thing—people keep coming back. Why? Because the quality is consistent. You know the beef is fresh. You know the potatoes were cut that morning. In a world where fast food is getting weirder and more "processed" feeling, there’s something comforting about a place that just does meat and potatoes.
Dealing with Allergies
If you have a peanut allergy, this is basically the final boss of restaurants. They are very transparent about it—peanuts are everywhere. However, for the gluten-free crowd in Sutton, it’s actually a decent spot. They don't have GF buns, but you can get any burger in a lettuce wrap or a "no-bun bowl." Since the fries are cooked in dedicated fryers with only potatoes and peanut oil, they’re a safe bet for many with gluten sensitivities. Just always tell the staff so they can do the whole glove-change routine.
The Logistics: Hours and Getting There
The store keeps pretty standard hours. They open at 11:00 AM every single day and stay open until 10:00 PM.
If you're planning a visit, keep in mind there is no drive-thru. This catches a lot of people off guard because the building looks like it could have one, but Five Guys doesn't do drive-thrus. They want you to come in, or at least walk in to grab your mobile order.
Parking at Pleasant Valley Crossing is usually fine, but Friday nights can get a little hairy near the Starbucks/Five Guys end of the strip.
Actionable Tips for Your Next Visit
If you want to master the Sutton Five Guys experience, follow these rules:
- Order the "Little" Burger: Unless you are genuinely ravenous, the single patty is plenty. It makes the burger easier to eat and saves you a few bucks.
- Share the Fries: A "Regular" fry is massive. If you’re with a friend, one regular fry is more than enough for both of you. Don't fall for the "Large" unless you're feeding four people.
- Use the App: If you’re hitting this place during the lunch rush (12:00 PM - 1:30 PM), the line can get long. Order on the app while you're still finishing up at Market 32.
- Check the Whiteboard: They usually list exactly where the potatoes came from that day. It’s a small detail, but it’s cool to know if your fries are from a farm in Idaho or Washington.
- Ask for "Extra Seasoning": If you like the Cajun fries, you can actually ask them to go heavy on the spice.
At the end of the day, Five Guys Sutton MA isn't trying to be a gourmet bistro. It’s a place to get a heavy, salty, delicious meal that hits exactly the same way every time. Whether you're a local or just passing through the valley, it's a reliable staple of the 146 corridor. Grab a stack of napkins—you're going to need them.
To get the most out of your visit, aim for a mid-week lunch to avoid the weekend crowds, and always check your bag before leaving to make sure they didn't forget the extra "toppers" in the bottom.
