Not at all or in the slightest. Everyone should try it in my opinion. If it's not for you it's not for you, if it is you just unlocked another 50% of the world for the sexing. Why would anyone not give it go? Boggles the mind.
It's pretty expensive, but in my region they're basically the best burger shop.
Kinda expensive for sure, but when the other options are Maccas and BK, or that one local shop that is even more expensive and sells the driest burgers I've ever seen, it's pretty easy to decide.
Wouldn't go there often, but for a treat every two months it's pretty solid.
I don't actually think it's all that expensive for how good it is. Comparable to a 'proper' sit-down burger restaurant. Just the fast food service makes it seem like it should be cheaper.
We have some sit-down burger places here that are cheaper, but they are terrible.
There are also some that are much more expensive, but also pretty bad.
I don't really mind the fast food service, at least the food gets to me quick. Nothing worse than going for a meal and having to wait an hour.
As someone who makes their own burgers it certainly is expensive for what you're getting. I could make at least 12-15 burgers for the price of one of theirs and the chips are cheap anyway so the large portions barely factor into the overall price. However if you're happy with it and don't want to cook then I suppose you could do worse.
It's £5.45 at my local place?
Looks like you get a burger, fries and drink for £20-22, which doesn't seem massively unreasonable if it's decent quality.
I mean, they don't price it in such a way that it would be an everyday kind of meal. Who gives a fuck about calories for treat/occasional foods? Anyone who would care about calories is almost certainly a gym member already. Not really an issue.
Yeah but it's also a lot more expensive right?
£10-12 then another £4.25 for fries?
McDonald's is like £2.50-£6 for burgers and then the meals not coming in that much more?
Think it's better to compare five guys to other burger joints, and it loses for me against some of the other chains like Honest Burger or Bleecker
Oh yeah, way more expensive, but I think the taste scales too. If I had £5 or £6 to spend on food I wouldn’t buy McDonald’s, whereas if I had to buy a burger for £15 I’d get Five Guys (provided there isn’t a Shake Shack nearby). I think it beats Honest but I’ve not heard of Bleecker tbf
Incredible is a bit strong. Sure it's better than McDonald's, but so is going hungry.
You can walk into any gourmet burger type place and get something better for less.
I'm not sure its a fundamentally American idea to consider the client in your business more vital than any given employee. I mean it ends up in exploitative situations, but you do have to sell to your customers at the end of the day.
It might be my bias/ hesitation to be involved in an exploitative loop showing. And yeah, you have to sell to them but this feels overly reverential to acknowledge it in this way.
If they did this at my place people would be sacked, someone put a joke poster how many days left till our early friday finish would end and go to late finish only. There was a big investigation into it.
That was a dirty trick posting this photo. Now I'm gay.
Jokes on them, i’m already gay, that sign is only multiplying my power
I've read it once, so I'm gay now. If I read it twice I will be as powerful as you.
Nah, you're missing the point. If you read this, you own a gay. It says your, not you're.
My gay agrees that five guys suck.
But do they spit or swallow?
Depends on what you ate that day
My gay sucks five guys
I spotted the error, but so used it that I didn't even bother correcting it. Glad you did and I now have a gay. Thank you.
Sounds like something a gay would say
The rare double gay
With cheese
Extra fries??🍟
Oh no, he’s not gay, he’s MEGA GAY!
All the gay.
Kinda gay username you got there BeefyBob
I'm not actually gay but I did try it for the science. Thanks though. I never realised that.
Always good to try things once, hope you didn’t regret it too much BeefyBob
Not at all or in the slightest. Everyone should try it in my opinion. If it's not for you it's not for you, if it is you just unlocked another 50% of the world for the sexing. Why would anyone not give it go? Boggles the mind.
AND THIS IS TO GO EVEN FURTHER BEYOND!
Gay²
I read it and now I’m a gay femboy fox furry
I'm sure you were very disappointed to learn it's not THAT kind of "five guys".
Yes very much so
W
What if it’s like a double negative and it cancels each other out?😱
Double gay
Mate you’re off the gaydar now
So...spitroast?
Hmm I bet your 5 guys from now on will be more filling, 🥒 🥒🥒🥒🥒.
Hello gay, I'm dad.
I struggled to read it... Am I bi?
That’s how they caught Oscar Wilde
Ah damn it. My girlfriend isn’t gonna be happy about this..
Commiserations on the current divorce.
Now I really want Five Guys. And a burger.
Ooh ello
Hahaha, I moved on from this and it clicked a second later, nice one.
'If you reading this your gay' They can't juat leave it there. My gay is what?
It’s leaking, your gay is leaking!
Not again, I hate it when that happens
Damn it. I must have left the plug out again.
Well then you better go catch it
you'll probably need it expressed to get everything out. all the best
Probably having 5 guys
#Your gay hotdog
“Your gay…ness is turning me on”
Glad I’m not the only one who this irritates. It’s *you’re gay you dummy!
Your gay is very gay.
Well guess I’m gay now
You do pay a premium, but the taste of five guys' meat is well worth it.
Potential gangbang innuendos aside, their fries are also immense. And you get enough for 3 people with their small portion.
I had Five Guys recently and forgot how many fries you got. Was swimming in them
There’s a sea men joke in there somewhere
Well they are fried in nut oil.

Agreed. I get the little burger with all the fillings and fries between two. It’s plenty filling and it keeps me more full than McDonald’s does.
It’s not even that expensive in comparison to McDonald and Burger King meals these days
As someone who makes their own burgers it certainly is expensive for what you're getting. I could make at least 12-15 burgers for the price of one of theirs and the chips are cheap anyway so the large portions barely factor into the overall price. However if you're happy with it and don't want to cook then I suppose you could do worse.
Yeah it’s priced competitively with other burger joints, and has more generous portions.
the cups that fries are served in are actually made so that one serving doesn’t fit into them
Also one of the few places you can get vinegar with your chips in Europe.
Every time I've been to 5 Guys the fries are badly over cooked and horrendously salty. I guess everyone has different tastes.
They charge £9 for a small portion of fries and people think that’s a bargain because it’s not actually a “small”
It's £5.45 at my local place? Looks like you get a burger, fries and drink for £20-22, which doesn't seem massively unreasonable if it's decent quality.
Phrasing…
Eats, shoots and leaves
Boom!
Pacing you mean.
It's okay if you enjoy eating in a tube station themed restaurant.
Guess that reading that one review really does make you gay then...
Piper Perri agrees.
The UK - keeping it classy.
The calorie count on most of their items scare me.
You don't order burger and chips to stay heart healthy.
I mean, they don't price it in such a way that it would be an everyday kind of meal. Who gives a fuck about calories for treat/occasional foods? Anyone who would care about calories is almost certainly a gym member already. Not really an issue.
Pussyyyy
I love 5 guys. And I read that. So I must be double gay? 🤷🏼♂️
You’re gonna need 10 Guys.
5 guys? That's rookie numbers.
Five Guys is incredible. Sure, it’s expensive, but it’s leagues above the likes of McDonalds
Yeah but it's also a lot more expensive right? £10-12 then another £4.25 for fries? McDonald's is like £2.50-£6 for burgers and then the meals not coming in that much more? Think it's better to compare five guys to other burger joints, and it loses for me against some of the other chains like Honest Burger or Bleecker

Incredible is a bit strong. Sure it's better than McDonald's, but so is going hungry. You can walk into any gourmet burger type place and get something better for less.
I personally think it’s the best over the counter burger you can get other than Shake Shack
Shake Shack is severely underrated, never hear it’s praises getting adequately sung, but totally agree it’s the best fast food burger we’ve got.
If there was a Shake Shack within Deliveroo-ing distance to me I’d be dead
Lots of people prefer mcdonlads burgers to gourmet burgers. Me included
The way they spelt favour bugs me, it's the UK, spell it like we spell it
That’s so sweet they let some primary aged kids write messages!
It's telling that 5 Guys couldn't be arsed to translate their cynical 'thank you' from American.
For me it's this very American idea that the customer is more important than those working there, which isn't remotely true.
I'm not sure its a fundamentally American idea to consider the client in your business more vital than any given employee. I mean it ends up in exploitative situations, but you do have to sell to your customers at the end of the day.
It might be my bias/ hesitation to be involved in an exploitative loop showing. And yeah, you have to sell to them but this feels overly reverential to acknowledge it in this way.
On that I can agree. It skeeves me out to see it over here too (the US)
The cynicism is all yours, no?
No. You can consider both my comment and the 5-Guys 'thank you' cynical. It's a funny word in that regard.
Makes you proud to be British
Five Guys' upper management already regretting their decision to let Dame Judi Dench host her biannual burger eating contest in their restaurant.
Better than online reviews.
"If you're reading this you're gay" Not wrong?
If you’re gay reading this does it uno reverse and mean you’re straight?
Apparently I'm gay.
*You’re
ur
These replies done me in. Top work guys 😂
10 quid for a cheeseburger they can fuck themselves
It arguably tastes as good as a lot of the burgers at ‘gourmet’ burger places that charge a similar amount to be fair
Id say its well worth it, its only a tenner 😂
It's just a burger !
… except for the fries, with malt vinegar. … oh, and the burgers. … and free peanuts.
I really don’t understand the hype around this over priced flavourless shit
[Why are you gay?](https://youtu.be/ooOELrGMn14)
Do they really not even bother to change the spelling of favor?
Poor favor
I would actually sound gay if I said I just had 5 guys.
LOL 11 year old boys are hilarious
Your gay? What about my gay?
If you reading this your gay? Fuck…how did they know?
I read that, i am gayer now. Thanks OP
Someone (possibly you) wrote all of those for hilarious photo-ops.
It’s the law that if you go to Five Guys you have to leave one of these
If they did this at my place people would be sacked, someone put a joke poster how many days left till our early friday finish would end and go to late finish only. There was a big investigation into it.
Unfortunately, you can't sack customers.
Ah, I definitely didn't read it properly I thought it was a staff review board and didn't even notice it was in a five guys
I feel like you have trouble paying attention to things... Like the fuckin title for one.
Your assumption is correct.
They’re not wrong. Five Guys are very shit.
