Five Guys

The place was heaving with locals and tourists. The kiosks really helped. Short wait and order in. Longer short wait and there's my grub.
An excellent burger. So meaty and cheesy and juicy. Hit it hard.
I'll be back!
Enjoy!

Our go-to Five Guys in London. Kind and attentive staff, fries are always on point, burgers are done right. Some times I'll get the lettuce wrapped burger and they are hard to achieve successfully but they really got this down - double wrapped with strong lettuce to minimise leakage. *chef's kiss* if you're feeling cheeky - try the vanilla milkshake with salted caramel and bacon!

Service: Ok but it's little bit takes time to get food.
Cleaness: Not good, on the tables and the floor are so messy.
Atmosphere: Normal

Had heard a lot about this place and was was really looking forward to trying it out since I am a massive burger fan.
The burger was pretty good and the chips were super nice (huge portion, would probably share next time), there's also a cool drinks machine (and free refills which is cool).
I did really like the burger although it would not be my favourite and I found it pretty expensive for what is essentially a big hamburger and fries.

Five guys is decent food. The burgers are tasty, the fries are plentiful and the shakes are alright. The issue lies within the price tag. For the aforementioned trip, you could be putting down almost £20. It's just not worth it. This location is nice, but doesn't make up for the price tag.

Yes! The US legends have made it across the pond to deliver there amazing burgers are fries.

Five Guys doesn't use refrigerators so the burgers are freshly prepared and Tate delicious.

While the price is more Byron than McD's, the food is so worth it! Whatever you do, be sure to get the Cajun fries. They are the best!

I've heard people raving about Five Guys so as we were in the area looking for a bite to eat and there wasn't a massive queue, we decided to give it a try.

I was very impressed. There's free monkey nuts for a start! The burger was a little greasier than I'd like but it was soooo tasty and I'd definitely recommend getting chips - you get loads (we went for large but there were loads more than I imagined) , they have their skin on and they're coated with something delicious - maybe a bit of paprika.

You choose the burger you want - hamburger, cheeseburger, burger with bacon etc then as many of the toppings as you want for no extra charge. You can get a drink for £2.50 which you can refill for free too.

The restaurant has a fun American diner style and we sat downstairs in a really cute little booth.

It's pretty good value for money and really tasty. Next time you're in Covent Garden give it a try if you haven't already!

Well, I've taken my time getting round to this place, but I'm glad I did, there was a tiny queue outside, me, and after I walked in, a slightly less tiny queue and help yourself fresh peanuts.

The menu here is refreshingly simple, vegetarian orders aside and really why would you go to a burger bar for a veggie thing, you order a burger, cheese burger or cheese & bacon burger with or without fries, either cajun or normal. Everything that goes in tht burger is down to you lettuce, pickle, tomato, mushrooms, fried or fresh onion, mayo sauces etc.

Then you wait with everyone else while they prepare your brown bagged waist extender.

It has a clean fresh ambience and of all the funky signs in there, the one that I liked the most said there wasn't a freezer on the premises. I picked up my brown bag and as it was full upstairs, went down, where there was a lot more space, bigger tables and booths.

I had ordered my cheese and bacon burger with all the salady type stuff, pickle, mushrooms, ketchup and mayo. It was vast. Vast and delicious. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that in this area, it just beats the Meat Market Dead Hippy, the Byron Burger and the Smoke Shack. There was a wow factor about it, a simply "F*** this is big; F*** this is good" factor. Cajun Fries are skin-on and dusted with what I think is salt and cayenne pepper. They are also excellent and plentiful. Plentiful as in if you finish your burger, you are probably not going to be able to finishe the fries.

I left not thinking that I had just spent over £11 on a burger and chips. I left full, happy and wondering who I could bring here that doesn't already know about it. In the end, I guess it doesn't get much better than that.

I like Five Guys. They do good burgers and the drinks machine is mega cool. So I feel annoyed with myself for having to knock a star off for this particular trip.

Here's why: I've been enough times now to know what to expect. I finally broke and got a hotdog this time (I'd tried it before but never had one to myself) and sadly it wasn't properly hot.

From the looks of things it had only been cooked on one side which was not how is seen them done before - and oddly it was cooked much faster than I'd previously seen. Usually it takes longer than the burgers to cook, but strangely this time it was much faster.

So that killed a point, along with the floor which is always slippery here! It feels like your walking on ice sometimes. But anyway, I think they had an off day, and I'd normally give them a four.

Wow - what a juicy, meaty flavour explosion in my mouth. Everyday I walk past this place and there is a huge line out around the store. It's location right between Covent Garden and Leicester Square has always put me off a bit, purely on the basis of how crowded the area is after work and pre-theatre. I'm glad hunger called and I stopped in this time to give it a go.

I ordered a standard burger with the works. And I mean, THE works. Oh and add a side of fries with that. I wasn't even hungry but I devoured the thing. It was delicious. Without the wrapper I probably wouldn't have guessed it was a chain burger. I wouldn't say gourmet, but not a chain. The meat was textured and had so much flavour, the bread was decent (not fantastic) and not soggy, but the fillings and sauces were the best part. Top it up with stuffings of Cajun skin-on fries, free buckets of peanuts in the shells and free refills of soda and you've got a pretty great, quick and casual dining experience. Forget date nights here but a good place for solo or casual friendly dining. I'll be back!
