Five Guys Burgers and Fries Aberdeen — Restaurant in Aberdeen City

I went here last night, the second week of opening because I had to see what the fuss was about, having heard about the Five Guys Glasgow store. The place was heaving either because of late night shopping or people curious just like me. Because of this the queues were out the door, and so the doors were held wide open. As I was taking my food away, this didn't bother me but as it was a freezing cold night there were people at tables wrapped in their jackets and scarves munching their food looking quite glum about it. The music was good but very loud making it hard for the server to here you and vice versa, like trying to buy a beer at a gig. I think its mainly to drown out the sound of the sizzling coming from the open kitchen. Although its nice to see your food being prepared, It would be better if the kitchen was somewhat closed off a little or the tills moved elsewhere. That being said there is additional seating upstairs where you can get away from the cold and loudness of downstairs. Getting my order was OK but it would be better if there was a machine on the wall telling you which order was being shouted. My order was dealt with quickly so I was half way down the queue of waiting people when I was shouted so she had to shout like 3 times before I heard her. Being a veggie, my choice was limited to a veggie sandwich or toastie. Im used to this by now so no complains from me as with subways/dominos etc, toppings for me are my favourite part! I went with the veggie sandwich with the works toppings (standard toppings plus some extras) and extra jalapenos. My sandwich was so stuffed, it was hard to eat but was deliciously melted and so perfect I didn't even miss the fact there was no form of patty in it. Since there were mushrooms in it, it reminded me of an upgraded portobello mushroom burger. If you're a fussy veggie, you can choose more toppings and really get your moneys worth. The Five Guys style small chips were enough for 2 people I'd say but soooooooo salty they were off-putting and I only ate a few and I hate wasting food. Overall I enjoyed my meal, I can see this being a place to go for hangover munchies if you can be arsed waiting in the queue. My meal cost around £7.50, was more enjoyable than Mcds or BKs and unlike there, I was fuller for longer. However I would wait a while until the hype dies down...

First of all five guys has one of the most expensive prices on the market. Secondly, when I have received my order the bag was completely wet, because all the juice from burger and hot dog went to the bag (I have attached the photo, couldn’t take a better one because when took burger out juice went on me, had to go and clean myself…), because they didn’t wrap food good enough in the foil (I do understand that everyone is trying to save money, but you cannot even wrap the food properly? Ridiculous…). You have such expensive prices and deliver such disgusting service, why? Also because you are using foil the burger and hot dog was completely wet, because of the steam… who is using foil for burgers and hot dogs in 2022??!!! Is it not logical that you have to use paper or any other material that will absorb the steam? I’m strongly disappointed, because it was definitely not the cheapest treat for myself and the quality is one of the worst I had so far… I strongly do not recommend to order from Five Guys, as there are so many other amazing places that has same prices or even cheaper and their packaging and quality of food is...

I had often walked past the 5 guys restaurant and I finally took the plunge and went in to test the place out. I was guided through the menu by a helpful member of staff and informed how the process worked. I chose a burger and fries (various options available) and was told that my order number would be called out when ready. I was with my small child at the time, so we got a high chair and chilled out in the seating area. Eventually my order number was called after what felt like a very long time. I have heard that they cook to order so I did not mind the wait. The order was handed over (still very hot) and I went back to my table. I opened up the well wrappped burger to find it was not getting any marks for presentation! I started eating it to find the presentation was over rated anyway. The food was very tasty and juicy and immediately, I was impressed. The whole experience was easy (with a little wait) but well worth that wait! I would highly recommend you try before judging (and please don't judge the presentation until...
