Both me and my wife finally had the chance to try 5th Street, and it definitely did not disappoint. We opted for the Tempe Burger with sweet potato fries, The Steakhouse Burger with a side order of onion rings, and a Buffalo Chicken Sandwich to share. All very delicious – one of the best burgers you can find in the valley!

Tempe Adventure Stop: 5th Street Burger & Fries
After a solid zoo wander (hello, 3-mile stroll ), I followed the scent of victory straight into this little neighborhood burger joint tucked into a strip mall, wrapped by business offices with those Tempe red rock views peeking out like desert postcards.
Let me tell you: simple done right is their superpower.
The burger? Absolute magic.
That perfectly toasted bun, soft like a cloud pillow. The cheese melts just right. Crisp pickles, red onions with bite, and a sauce that quietly ties everything together like a culinary bow. Every layer shows up for roll call.
And the fries? Huge steak fries with a yummy little seasoning that makes you keep “just one more”-ing until suddenly… tray empty.
It’s not trying to be fancy. It’s not chasing trends. It’s just a standard little burger spot that somehow hits all the right notes. Exactly the kind of place you’re grateful for after burning calories at the zoo.
⭐ My vibe check:
• Friendly, casual energy
• Burgers that understand the assignment
• Perfect refuel stop after walking Tempe
If you’re out exploring Tempe and need a satisfying, no-nonsense burger moment, this is a great pit stop. Sometimes adventure tastes like toasted buns and steak fries. ✨

Been here twice. First time burger was one of the best I’ve ever had in my life. This week the burger was still good but a little drier than last time. Husband had a chili burger and the chili was delicious. My sweet potato fries were on point, which is appreciated since most places burn them. Solid local burger place with variety of burgers and some sandwiches. Worth the stop. Will be back.

This place is amazing, however I never knew it was here, just kind of stumbled upon it. I’m glad I did. I got the vegetarian black bean burger, it was ginormous and delicious. Definitely won’t leave hungry. Will be back for sure. It was probably the best vegetarian burger I’ve had in a while.

Oh my goodness if you’re in the mood for an amazing hamburger and fries this is the place!!! I got the PB and J with a gluten free bun. The bun was really good! And he got the avocado and Swiss cheese and really liked it.
Nice clean area, some outside and inside seating. Would recommend!

Loved this place. I plan to come back. Their peanut butter burger was a surprise combination that I really liked. If I’m being honest their kid menu sliders with fries and drink is 100% enough for an adult.
the kid’s French fries were way too salty – still edible and I bet it was a one-time error. Will come
Back!

I got this door dashed and I was so happy that the onions rings and chicken were still hot and crispy. The Nashville hot rub was soo good and the tenders were super crispy and juicy. I would most definitely get food here again they have a unique menu with some burgers I’d love to try

Clean casual burger joint. Service was astronomical. Food is definitely the star of the show. Arguably the best burger in town. The batter on the onion rings is fantastic. Chili cheese fries were so good! I will be back often. Prices are up there. Come there expecting to pay. That said, worth every cent.

Was looking for some delicious burgers in the area and found this place via Google Maps. Decided to give it a try due to the positive reviews. Burgers were very good and tasted fresh. The staff was very friendly as well. Glad I decided to take a chance on this place. You should too!

My nephew and I went here to try them out, and man, did they deliver!!!! The customer service was 5 star. They were very attentive and made sure to not only show patience when deciding what to order but also offer help and gave great suggestions. I tried the steak burger, and it was delicious!!! The hamburger was big as well, so be prepared to eat. I coupled that with the Nashville Hot Fries, which was the right choice for some spice and flavor with the crispyness of the fries! I will be coming back here again to try something else on the menu! We also tried the Polar Bear Slider. If you like a sweet and savory mixture, then this might be for you. It wasn’t for me, but you should at least try it to see if it’s for you. If you are looking for your next burger to try, definitely check them out! I will be coming back to try more.
