I would never go here again the food is over priced for tiny burgers and tiny fries. I payed £65 pound for two burgers 2 hot dogs 3 milkshakes regular fries and a Diet Coke and the food I received wasn’t what I expected for the price of it I could get better value for money at McDonalds and would of cost me a 3rd of the price

First and probably last visit to Five Guys

This was my first visit to a Five Guys and I think it will be my last.
Visited on a Friday night with friends (three of us in total). As Five Guys is known for burgers, I was disappointed to find that there was no veggie burger but I accept that there were other veggie options, just not to my taste. I ordered chips and a shake. I was amazed at how expensive these were for a burger joint. We went to find a table. The place was not that busy, lots of vacant tables but all dirty. In the end I cleared one and wiped it down with some water and napkins. Our food seemed to take ages, again surprising as it did not appear to be busy. Staff were not rude, just seemed to be a bit indifferent. Good points were that the portion of chips was generous and the shake tasted nice. Overall a very disappointing visit, some issues with Five Fuys themselves and some to do with this individual branch.

Overrated and overpriced

Overrated and overpriced! Below average quality food extortionately priced. 4 burgers, 4 fries and 3 drinks £79! Very average quality and quantity! You've got to be kidding!

5 Guys (....but none of them are delivery drivers)

Ordered a couple of burgers from 5 Guys in Harlow through Just Eat.

On top of the rip-off "service fee", "delivery fee", "paper bag fee", extra fee for wanting to live in Harlow", etc there was a wait time of 40mins. Which isnt too bad for a Friday.

As soon as I placed the order the delivery time went up to 2 hours because there were not enough Just Eat delivery clowns available.

CANCEL CANCEL CANCEL

Then vent my anger on trustpilot. Not that companies pay any attention to Trustpilot reviews, because idiots like me will still order stuff from them.

Shocking delivery

Ordered food via just eat around 2:30 today, estimated delivery of 2:55. Since then it has continued to rise and now says 4:10. Thats nearly 2 hours of the original order time. Absolutely crazy and totally unacceptable. I am STILL waiting for my food right now. I understand that there’s a rod closure but get a grip, there are other routes.

A Five Guys Experience Worth Sharing

Usually, I am a Disappointed Customer, as reflected in my name but today, I am a Happy Customer! :P Sharing my experience of the Five Guys Fort Shopping Store in Birmingham.

I recently had a wonderful experience, all thanks to Stacey. Despite the rush, she managed everything like a pro. By taking the time to engage with us, answer any questions that we had and offer fantastic food recommendations. It felt like she really cared about making our experience enjoyable, which is rare in the fast food industry.

Thanks Five Guys for the awesome customer experience!

How hard is it to put mustard

How hard is it to put mustard, relish and ketchup on a burger? Every time we order through Deliveroo - there is nothing on it, and the fries are always cold. Better to just do my own on the BBQ.

Do not recommended at all, very disappointing

Tried this place for the first time on a Saturday night. Bacon cheeseburger cost more than £11. Very disorganised. Burger was dry, lukewarm and meh. Totally not worth the cost, would not use this place again. Junk food for restaurant prices. The feedback provided is clearly just standard response and doesn't address the poor quality of the food, just attempts to justify the excessively high price.

Thank you for taking the time to get in touch regarding your concerns about our pricing.

We feel that we offer great value for money, given the high quality and care we put into our burgers, fries and whole menu.

There are no freezers in any of our stores. We also only use fresh and premium ingredients, which are prepared by hand each morning by our crew, to ensure a high-quality product.

We’re also unique as everything is cooked to order, serving you fresh food with customisable products to make sure your meal is exactly how you like it. In short – we are obsessed by creating the best burgers and fries we know and feel the only way to get there is through combining the best possible ingredients with great in-house production, training and cleanliness standards.

Thanks again for taking the time to share your concerns and we hope that this explains more about how we do things and why our prices are what they are.

Avoid as Awful cold burger delivered by Uber…

Awful cold burger delivered by Uber eats. Now part of the problem was with the time to deliver, however the other fault is clearly the store.
Why leave cooked food unheated for 30 minutes while uber wait for another driver? So it arrives cold.
Order wrong, we ordered one burger with cheese and one without. Both burgers arrived with cheese. We ordered BBQ sauce in the burgers, there was none in either. Ordered extra mayo and ketchup sachets, none in the bag. Will never use again as they just don’t care about delivery orders.

I had aFast delivery, but the worst Five Guys burgers we’ve had incredibly bad experience…

I had an incredibly bad experience ordering Five Guys via Uber Eats. The delivery was surprisingly fast, but unfortunately the food quality was shocking.

My colleagues and I were really disappointed when the burgers arrived. The buns were completely soggy, the cheese was melted and smeared all over the burgers, and the patties were cold and greasy — honestly, they tasted like they were old or reheated leftovers. The whole burger was soaked in a watery, runny sauce which made everything even worse.

I raised my concerns with Uber Eats support, and their response was to offer £1.29 credit to my Uber Eats account. That felt like an insult considering the condition of the food.

It’s such a shame that a well-known brand like Five Guys seems to be ignoring basic quality standards. I’m sadly and genuinely disappointed, and I won’t be ordering again.
