Gets a 4* because it cost me over £20 for regular fries, a small burger and a milkshake, and as good as it was (and it was really tasty) it's so unbelievably overpriced it's crazy, if I took my family of four there you're talking over £100 for lunch and that's not going all out!! Sort your prices out Five Guys!! Sheesh!!
Any time you mention you’ve never been to Five Guys, the typical response is “it’s pretty expensive, but very good burger”. Today was my first time trying Five Guys and it is indeed pretty expensive, but also a very good burger.
I had the bacon cheeseburger which cost around about £10.50. Fries were something like £3.75 and given the price and time of day (lunch so wasn’t massively hungry) I decided to go without.
The wait was a little longer than I expected, but not ridiculous. I guess ultimately they’re making the burger to order which is good, but it’s still relatively fast (7-10 mins tops).
The burger was lovely although I’m not sure it justifies the price tag. I think you probably can get a burger if this quality for less. You can pick whatever toppings you want so I went for grilled onions which they were very generous with.
The bacon was a little crispy for my liking, but I’m very conscious this is how most people like their bacon so that’s fair enough.
I’m glad I tried it, and it was definitely enjoyable but I don’t see it as someplace I’d visit often given the hefty price.
First ever visit, happy to go back. Staff were friendly, food (bacon burger and a grilled cheese, fries) was freshly made, hot and extremely tasty.
Will not be last visit.
