Five Guys, you are almost there, but for the prices you charge, you really need to start flame-grilling your burgers. They are just missing something. I'm a burger nut, and everyone is always surpri... See more

Great service

Great service, very polite and helpful.
Rhys was enthusiastic, explained the choices, smiling all the time. Manager was very helpful when I had an issue with my card.
Food was freshly prepared and tasty although expensive. Milkshake was delicious.

Shocking service from both Five guys…

Shocking service from both Five guys and Uber eats (Drive)
Ordered for my son‘s birthday for him and his pals and all the milkshakes were missing when I asked the driver where they were he shrugged his shoulders and when I don’t know I have a drive up and get myself or tell him that you didn’t get them I found that really shocking and rude very expensive food. Also the bags had finger marks in them because he ripped the bags. Therefore the food was cold not acceptable at all.
Try to ring restaurant to ask them if I could collect the drinks for the boys and the number doesn’t work? No dialling tone just nothing.

No refund received do wont be using either one again.
Paid £10 for 2x fries that went in the bin so not happy

My first visit to five guys

My first visit to five guys. We popped in at the Ashford outlet centre. A quick snack, cheeseburger, hot dog , fries, coke and a milkshake
£35 !!!

Greasy burger, soggy fries, small hot dog, split to make it look more. Milkshake was nice and thick but over £6.
We sat down and then struggled to hear when our order was ready.....they weren't that busy....but they just shove your order on the side.....make no effort to ensure you receive your food when it's ready.
It looks like the classic Aberdeen Steak House business model (they see the customers once).

They certainly will not be seeing me again.

Worst burgers almost as bad as the staff

OAP visitors - not impressed with the quality of food, attitude of staff or the overall experience.

The burger was tasteless and the chips were just fragments of potatoes. Condiments were empty and on asking for some we had lots of eye rolling and huffy attitudes

O Don't recommend the loaded fries

Hi,I have ordered two loaded fries today Birmingham new street station, and they were very poor quality. They just put together a box with fries, fake cheese sauce, onions, and tomatoes.
The flavour was very disappointing, and it wasn’t worth the money.
I would not recommend ordering this item.

My first visit to five guys.

My first visit to five guys.. Staff were fine, restaurant clean etc, but I nearly had a fit when I was charged 28 quid for 1 burger 1 chips and 3 shakes... I found the burger tasteless, completely devoid of seasoning and quite dry too, the chips were lovely, but wayyyy too many for 1 person, so had I bought us all fries we would have wasted so much but the only thing for me well worth the trip we're the shakes, these were the best I've ever had... You can keep your overpriced burgers and your mountains of chips, but I'll be back for them shakes though...

Horrid restaurant and service

Horrid restaurant and service. Not clean, had to wipe the table myself. Chips were cold. So expensive for what you get. Its always empty! How is it still trading. The staff are sooo rude, especially the manager at the Bluewater site.

Not up to scratch.

Staff very polite, enthusiastic and hardworking. Car park festooned with litter. Tables and floor inside very dirty. Rubbish bins overflowing. Burgers 6/10. Milkshakes 7/10. Chips 1/10. Value for money and overall experience 4/10.
Sadly, felt ripped-off. 40 odd quid was way OTT for what was more like a trip to a grubby old greasy spoon with pretty posters on the wall.

Shameful. Would not recommend at all

Stay Away

Avoid Chichester, very expensive for disgusting slop, and the veggie sandwich has to be the worst veggie experience I ever had.

Wow how much for a takeaway burger!!!

To start with I couldn't believe the price for a takeaway burger, stunned!!!

Waited over 20 minutes, when back to check they had actually got our order.

Then I found a lump of something in my burger, plastic or hard cardboard, hard to say, it was horrible, put me off the rest of the burger.

So paid way over the odds, waited ages, then wasn't able to eat it. Never again. Not even if someone else is paying.!!!
