Not the worse burger I've had, not the best either. 
But too greasy and the fries portions are really small.

Best 5 guys I've ever been to. Better than any restaurant in the US. Shout out to Mike for holding it down with a mad rush late night!

Most overrated place ever... I kept seeing long queues outside this place for ages and I really wanted to see what all the hype was about. There's 3 main burger options and then you add all the toppings you like to customise your burger.

While my boyfriend asked for all of the toppings I asked for the plain bacon cheeseburger as I wanted something simple. I obviously tried both options and they were equally disappointing. My boyfriend's burger was juicier than mine for to the peppers and onions that made it taste more fresh, while mine was a mass of meat and plastic-y cheese that I can easily dub 'the artery clogger' because it felt like I'd need a double bypass after eating it. Not to mention that the bacon was bone dry and crunchy, borderline burnt to a crisp and breaking in crumbs when you bit into it. Honestly worst bacon I've ever tried.

To be honest the variety of toppings was very underwhelming as the choices were something you expect from a basic burger (mayo, onions, tomatoes etc). With gourmet burgers in your average pub offering avocado, egg or pulled pork and even your local spoons burger coming with onion rings, Five Guys is really not bringing anything new to the table.

The skin on chips were enough to vaguely justify the £4 and they were decent so I was happy with them. However, my highlight was getting free pints of water which on its own says a lot about what this place has to offer. 

This place is a glorified Mc Donald's with pretty much the same quality as far as flavour or texture are concerned and five times the price to fool you int thinking it's a real restaurant. I do not intend to go back there again as it was a complete waste of money to eat something basic and unhealthy.

This is one American chain that I am not ashamed of having jumped the pond. The burger was good and similar to what we get in the States.

Lots of hype around this place but first time I have ventured in as it was the only place open and needed a wee plus we were peckish.

Bit pricey to be honest but you can have any toppings on your burger so I guess you can get your monies worth if you want.

Burgers were actually really lovely but didn't look as appetising. Love that everything is freshly made to order.

But... Hold the presses... Best Banana milkshake EVER... It actually tastes of banana which is rare! 

Good find for late nights in west end!

You know one of these Fridays when you feel down, want to do nothing but staying home... Then a friend of yours pumps some energy in you and takes you to a good dose of fat and cheesy burgers. You see what I'm talking about? That's what happened when I went to that Five Guys!

I very rarely hang out in that side of the city, I'm more into EC/E1/E2 and SE1... But my friend was very convincing and, well, it was for food so it's hard to say no :). A good fat and yummy burger the way we all like it at Five guys: bread, meat, and a festival of toppings. I took so much of them that I don't even remember how many I had. I just remember that it was damn good :)

Only issue for me is its busyness. Normal, one will say, given the location. Oxford Circus, the trap for tourists, so the place will attract all the shoppers who feel hungry at some point. Add the vibrant Londoners who need some food to fill the stomach before getting their dose of booze... And the place becomes rapidly crowded, despite its 2 floors. 

All I remember, anyway, was that good burger. And at the end of the day, that's why I was there for and the only thing that matters.  And I will go there again! :)

After successfully convincing my colleagues to have a team lunch at Five Guys, we strolled over to the one on Argyll Street.

The queue was long, but the wait short, with a waiter giving us menus as we join the queue so we can immediately order when we get to the cashier. With 15 different toppings to choose from, it gives you the chance to be creative! (Or be boring and go all the way, which adds mayo, ketchup, mustard, lettuce, tomato, pickles, grilled onion, grilled mushrooms). The standard is two patties (go for the "little" burgers if you just want the one), which with all the toppings makes the burgers quite filling. The milkshake choice is also very rich (like the milkshakes), the guy at the till suggested the salted caramel/oreo 50/50 mix, which was awesome! One can add bacon (yes bacon!) to the shakes. The fries, even plain without any salt, are delicious - thick, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Mmmmmm

The dining space downstairs is roomy, and could fit our party of 8. There are straws and ketchup dispensers just like a standard American diner, with cool facts about five guys decorating the walls. Overall the dining area is clean and has a nice modern decor.

The burgers themselves were not like the gourmet burger shops, but then again they're not supposed to be. This is fast food with variety at its best, made quickly for your convenience the way you want it.

Excellent variety, polite staff, clean dining space. A standard burger and milkshake will set you back £15 or so, which makes it a bit on the pricey end - 4.5/5 with the half star taken off due to price - but really for the location, variety and the speed with which you get it, it'd hard not to reconsider and make it 5/5...

Overpriced and overhyped. 

Walking into the restaurant and looking around you, you see so many reviews on the wall that you would think you are walking into a religious cult, not a restaurant. 

The burgers we had were extremely ordinary, nothing more special than Burger King and certainly nothing you could easily create at home.

My girlfriend paid £8.75 for a cheeseburger with bacon and £4 for fries. I paid £6.75 for a hamburger. For this price, I was expecting a fine quality product, well cooked and served. The burger was of a poor quality, the plastic cheese and bun were the same you could get in sainsburys or anywhere, the bacon as tasteless and dry. The food was served in cheap packaging. 

The food itself was mediocre, but I have given it a 1 star review because of the price- for the same price I could have had a sit down meal in a pub, served to me. Wetherspoons gourmet burgers are significantly better. 

If you want a good quality burger, go to a good London pub (there are endless) or Gourmet Burger Kitchen, Byron etc. 

If you want a mediocre run of the mill burger, go to Burger King or Wetherspoons.

Totally overrated and not worth the money. £43 for 3 of us to eat. Small burger and hotdog and a total rip off. How they can charge the prices they do, is beyond me. Never again!

Not particularly fast fast food but consistently satisfying. 

Bottomless soft drinks. Generous fries. Toppings until your stomach bursts and if you order right, a very filling meal for £10.

If you order wrong though £15 for a burger, fries and a shake at a fast food place is a little steep even by London's standards. 

Be aware of the queues and the fact that meals are prepared fresh so even when there isn't a queue there will be a little bit of a wait. 

Drinks machine is basically the stuff of dreams. All kinds of flavours you never knew existed. Coke Zero Cherry Vanilla, people. It's a thing and it's here!
