Five Guys Burgers and Fries in Vacaville sits in Solano County‘s Central Valley and delivers exactly what you’d expect—made-to-order burgers and hand-cut fries done right. The appeal here is the sheer customization: with over 250,000 ways to build your burger and 1,000 milkshake combinations, you’re not picking from a limited menu. The buns are baked fresh, the patties are cooked to order, and everything arrives hot and properly assembled.

The reason it works as a dog-friendly stop is straightforward. They have an outdoor seating area where well-behaved dogs are welcome, which means you can actually sit down with your dog and eat rather than just grabbing takeout. It’s a practical setup for a quick meal when you’re traveling through the area with your dog and want to sit somewhere other than the car.

If you’re driving through Vacaville and need a burger that won’t disappoint, this is reliable. The customization options mean that even if everyone in your group has different preferences, nobody’s compromising. One person loads up their burger with jalapeños and grilled mushrooms while someone else keeps theirs simple—Five Guys handles both equally well. The milkshakes are thick and actually taste like they’re made with real ingredients, which matters when you’re already spending on a quality meal.

The outdoor seating accommodates dogs comfortably, and the location makes it convenient whether you’re passing through on Highway 80 or exploring Vacaville proper. Since they take orders at the counter, you’re not waiting for a server, which means faster service when you’re trying to manage your dog and eat. You can reach them at (707) 447-1477 if you want to confirm hours before heading over, or check their website at fiveguys.com for locations and menu details.
