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

Over priced

Over priced, chips poor over cooked, burger disintegrated and patty lacked flavour.

£33 for adult and child's meal.

Staff friendly and helpful.

Won't be returning.

Visited five guys in Basingstoke for the first time, will never eat in this chain again. The milkshake was just milky sugar no taste of strawberry at all, the fries got my one star but extremely over salted. I’m vegetarian so tried the only option available, which is fine as this is a normal occurrence for me and my Granddaughter and was faced with a bog standard bun filled with just vegetables and a piece of lettuce. It was disgusting with no sauce or taste at all, my Granddaughter didn’t even want to try hers! The price was very high which I wouldn’t mind if it was good quality but Burger King and McDonald’s veggie options put this chain to shame and it’s triple the price. I spent over £55 and will not be doing it again, worst vegetarian food I’ve ever tasted!

I am extremely disappointed with my recent experience at Five Guys.

My order was not provided as described, which made it uneatable as intended. When I raised the issue at the till, the customer service was poor and unhelpful, with no real attempt to resolve the situation properly.

I also tried to address the issue through their online complaints process, but this was not handled effectively either, leaving me no choice but to pursue a chargeback to recover my money.

Overall, the experience felt disorganised and lacking in basic customer care. I expected better standards and clearer communication when problems arise.

Five Guys, zero paper bags


This was my first visit to Five Guys on Pentonville Road, and I came away rather disappointed.
The food was decent, but nothing exceptional and certainly not worth the exorbitant prices.
The servings are enormous, very much "American-sized", and there was far more food than I could reasonably finish. Not wanting to see nearly £50 worth of food go to waste, I went to the counter and politely asked for a paper bag so I could take the leftovers with me.
The employee behind the counter looked at me with a distinctly unfriendly expression (all the staff looks miserable btw) and simply refused my request. A bloody paper bag!
For a brand that charges premium prices, I would expect both better food and considerably better customer service. This was not an experience I would be eager to repeat.

Very nice staff

Very nice staff, they were polite and helpful. The food wasn't bad either! I love that they still take cash which the McDonald's nearby will not.

Awful service

Awful service - took 1.5 hours to get a 'priority' delivery via Uber Eats. Five Guys Burger (Harlow) and fries was delivered cold and honestly, I've had better food from a burger van. Cost £44 for two kids burgers and fries
