Five Guys Burgers and Fries Leeds Duncan St — Restaurant in Leeds

The price point may be higher than your average burger joint but it's absolutely worth every penny. Many American fast food outlets seem to lose the speed of service and quality of food when they come to the UK, ending up as disappointing as the slightly wilted lettuce in their burgers, but Five Guys offers exceptional food so good that you'll be thinking about it for weeks after. You get so many fries that you could happily split a normal-size portion between two people and the burgers are huge (but not so huge you can't get your mouth around them). I used to think I didn't like milkshakes but, after having a peanut butter and salted caramel milkshake from Five Guys, I realised I'd just never had a good milkshake before. Absolutely try eating here...

We visited this outlet while we were on our way to watch a stand up comedy. The staff were all chirpy and happy. The order was served quickly. Food was fresh. It's lovely to see a live kitchen. However, we tried the Hamburger which was too dry for our liking but absolutely loved the All Beef Hotdog. The fries were really amazing in terms of seasoning and the quantity. The concept of serving roasted salted peanuts is quite nice which has 2 intentions , one is to keep customers engaged and not be staring at the staff while they're cooking and the second reason is that customers can enjoy some munching while waiting for their food. The restaurant is spacious and clean. Will definitely visit to try some milkshakes and other...

Lovely burgers, it has to be said. But they cater for an already over saturated market. The restaurant itself is disappointingly reminiscent of an 80s greasy spoon cafe, which would be great if it had prices to match. Regardless, decor aside I have yet to find fault with a single one of their burgers and through some clever business restructuring, I could see this branch of Five Guys becoming the go to place for something you could easily make at home.

Spice addicts rating - 3/5. Quite disappointing on the scale of things considering we are but metres away from the Mecca of spice, lower Briggate. But if you're lucky you are very likely to see devoted followers on their hajj to score their latest...
