Is Five Guys Halal? U.S., UK & Location Differences Explained

Halal status at Five Guys differs sharply by country — here is what is officially confirmed for the U.S. and UK, without extrapolating to other markets.

Quick answer: It depends entirely on the country. In the U.S., Five Guys states its beef is not certified kosher, halal, or organic. In the UK, some locations serve halal beef — a small number fully certified, others halal-beef-only alongside pork and alcohol on the same premises. Do not assume one country’s policy applies elsewhere.

United States

Five Guys’ U.S. FAQ states directly that its beef is “not kosher, halal or organic.” This applies to standard U.S. locations; there is no official U.S. halal-certified Five Guys program referenced on its own site.

United Kingdom

Location typeWhat that means
Fully halal-certified (a small number of UK locations)Certified by a recognized halal certification body; no pork products or alcohol served on-site
Halal beef only (more UK locations)Beef itself is halal, but pork bacon is cooked on separate grills with separate utensils, and alcohol is typically served

Because the distinction matters for strict halal compliance, always check a specific UK location’s certification status directly — being “a Five Guys in the UK” does not by itself guarantee full halal certification.

Other markets

Five Guys operates in many countries beyond the U.S. and UK. This guide does not have verified official information for every market, and we’re not extrapolating the U.S. or UK policy to other countries. If you’re outside the U.S. or UK, check that country’s local Five Guys site or contact the specific restaurant directly.

How to check a specific location

  • Look for an official halal information page for your country, similar to the UK’s dedicated halal page.
  • Contact the specific restaurant directly if no country-level page exists.
  • Don’t rely on a single review or social media post as confirmation — certification status can vary location by location even within the same country.
