Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

People frequently reported issues with their orders, including missing items, incorrect orders, and food arriving cold or damaged. The product itself often disappointed, with burgers described as tasteless, dry, or poorly assembled. However, some customers mentioned positive experiences with the staff, describing them as polite, enthusiastic, and efficient.

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

I am a first-timer coming to the Five…

I am a first-timer coming to the Five Guys restaurant, and upon walking through the door, I got a fusty smell. Anyway, when ordering my food, I got a double cheeseburger with chips (sorry, fries) and my partner's food as well. When checking out, it came to £61.00 with two drinks. First of all, what a joke! McDonald's is £40 cheaper. What a rip-off this place is! Then, sitting down for food, the fries were not even cut properly; the skin was still left on them. Then came the original Coke; the Coke was flat; it wasn't even fresh. Then came the food. When opening up the foil container, the bun was crushed to hell; it was like it went through a garbage disposal inside a waste truck, seriously though. And the burgers themselves were dry and full of grease, even when touching the foil. The only good thing about this place was that it was really clean and tidy, and the two stars were generous.

Absolutely unacceptable

Absolutely unacceptable. The staff treat delivery drivers with clear disrespect and discrimination, as if they are inferior. The attitude is rude, dismissive, and degrading. No one deserves to be treated this way—this place seriously needs to change.

I noted your response to Andrew Green…

I noted your response to Andrew Green last month who complained about the state of the cleaning . Your response did not happen . We had to move because of the filth under the table . I stopped my grandson using the first toilet because it was so dirty . Had having a good experience at Gun wharf . You have let Five gUys down . Even the food was not up to standard

Don’t order 5 guys delivery

Food took over an hour to arrive. Food was cold. They put pickles in my burger and I didn’t even ask for them. 1 little sachet of mayo provided. Clearly the people that work there don’t care about their jobs at all. Overall very very disappointing.

Incredible customer service

Absolutely amazing service. I ordered a double bacon cheeseburger and then realised I was starving so asked to change it to a triple.
My food came and I was so hungry they I didn't really look at the burger. As I was finishing, my order number was called again. I went up to explain that I had already collected my food, but the guys explained that they had forgotten to add the extra patty, so they had made me ANOTHER TRIPLE!!!
Not only did they not try to hide their mistake, they acknowledged it and then more than made up for it.
Amazing customer service should always be recognised and the guys at the Colchester branch of 5 Guys are awesome and absolutely made my day.

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.

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
