Five Guys Restaurant Review

What is Five Guys?

Five Guys is a fast casual restaurant which sells burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, fries and possibly the biggest selection of soft drinks with over 100 drink choices. Five Guys is custom made burgers meet custom made drinks! Five Guys gives you the opportunity to choose from around 15 toppings! Five Guys of course is American so the portion sizes are huge! Five Guys service is very much like McDonalds where you go up and order your food and wait for it to be cooked. You can then choose whether you want to sit down and enjoy your food or go elsewhere. 

My Experience
I visited Five Guys a few weeks ago and it was easily the best burger I have had. I had a bacon cheese burger and small fries. The price of this was £11.50 and I was given a free drink too. I'm not sure if it was intentional but oh well! In my bacon cheese burger, I got two pieces of meat, lettuce, cheese, mayonnaise and bacon. It was incredibly filling. I could only eat around 2/3 of it and after that, I could hardly move I was so full! The small fries I got was absolutely ridiculous! In the photo shows a small cup of fries which you would probably think is all you get but no.... they gave me another huge scoop of fries chucked in the paper bag they gave me. Basically, the small cup of fries was doubled and that is how much you get for small fries. I would call that large fries, not small! Anyway, the burger was incredible, it was so greasy but so good at the same time. The melted cheese and that meat with the bacon was absolute perfection. The fries too were very yummy. At Five Guys, they don't use normal oil to cook their fries, they use peanut oil. There were literally peanuts everywhere in that restaurant where you could help yourself! You may think I'm crazy when I tell you how I ate my burger..... The burger was so big that I couldn't possibly eat it by shoving it in my mouth with my hands so I had to go find a knife and fork to cut it into small pieces!

Lets talk about the soft drinks now. Five Guys uses coca cola freestyle machines featuring 125 different Coca Cola drink products and custom flavours. You can basically choose to have Coke but it doesn't have to be plain Coke as you can have Coke with Lime or Raspberry Coke. Crazy right?

Would I recommend it?
Absolutely. If you like burgers then you have to try this place out! It is seriously amazing. You may think it is really pricey for a burger but it is literally incredible. Just take into consideration the portion sizes are huge so don't go ordering a large fries with a normal size burger with a drink too because chances are, you won't finish it! It is a massive struggle especially if you are a girl. You will not be disappointed if you try this place out.

Also, please let me know if you know some amazing burger places as I've been loving burgers recently and want to try out more incredible burgers!

My Rating
9/10. I haven't given it 10/10 because there are probably more amazing burger places out there which I haven't tried. This is 100 times better than places like Gourmet Burger Kitchen, put it that way.
