Five Guys Burgers and Fries Leicester Meridian — Restaurant in Blaby

My first time at Five Guys, my partner loves the place and food, he Just Eat it very often.

First impression was very American (fun) the restaurant was empty, very clean, but didn’t feel welcome.

The guy at the till was friendly and when he knew my partner loves Five Guys, he and my partner had a great conversation with combinations of food and drinks.

Menu is simple, burgers, hotdogs and sandwiches, you can add as much or as less toppings as you like, hence prices are expensive as you can order a burger / a hotdog and add all toppings ~ 15 of them.

I ordered a cheese hotdog with mustard, onions and mushrooms, personally i didn’t think anything special about it, on the other hand, my partner ordered a cheese bacon burger with lots of toppings and he loved it. Chips were super yummy, banana milkshake was ok.

Service ~ as it’s a fast food place, so we ordered food at the till, then picked a table, and collected food at the collection point, so I would say no service.

We spent more than £18 per person, my partner loved the burger and said it worth every penny, I think food was ok, but too expensive for a hotdog and milkshake.

Have to point out toilets are located upstairs and there are lots of steps, it will be difficult for elderly or people with infants / young children. It’s impossible for wheelchair users, as I can’t see any lift or disabled toilets on the ground floor. Also the stairs and the floor were very slippery.

Tables outside as well as inside.

Plenty free parking spaces, including disabled parking spaces as it’s in Meridian, it may have time...

Walking in you feel like you've walked into something less attractive than a fast food restaurant. More like a kebab house between two pubs.

I ignored this as this was the company that shut forced Ed's diner to close down so I figured the food must be excellent. Looking at the menu the cost was pretty expensive, bacon cheese burger was 9.99, yes the toppings are free but the fries aren't.

After collecting my food as there is no table service I sat down to see my burger wrapped in foil and the fries just chucked in the bag with some sort of an attempt to get them in a drinks cup.

The presentation was atrocious and off putting but I ate my meal anyway.

Drinks, which are refillable, had no taste at all the coke tasted more like cotton candy (candy floss) rather than coke. The machine also ran out of syrup and they took so long to put a new one in that I was leaving before they did so.only got one drink with my overpriced cup.

The chips were OK but they do cook in penut oil which if you.dont like the taste off it will spoil the chips for you.

The two stars came in because the burger did taste nice but way priced. The burger patties were so thin and the cheese was just cheese slices. The cost was not justified.

Also had a milkshake which...

My friend ordered us a takeaway as a treat - neither of us have ever used Five Guys before. Going on the cost we were expecting a good quantity and quality of food. We were both disappointed, the burger for over £10 was small burgers (we ordered the large not small size) and just packed fat with salad. £5.70 for a milkshake and £6 for some chips - we thought a large would be plenty for 2 of us. There werent many at all. We also had a hot dog, again not very big just packed with salad to bulk it up. The food was delivered, despite only being 7/8 mins from the store it was all cold. it was "On route" for over 20 minutes so I dont know if he had numerous deliveries. The burger chips and milkshake cost over £20 (without the hotdog) - Mcdonalds quarter pounder with large fries and milkshake costs less than half of that, bigger more tastier burgers too. Very disappointed and wont be going back. £30+ for a small burger small hot dog, chips all cold - not good. I didnt notice how much she had paid at first, was astounded when I saw for the...
