Five Guys Burgers and Fries Manchester University Green — Restaurant in Manchester

I knew that this was going to be expensive but I expected it to be worth it. What an absolute rip off.

The 2 stars are for the fries, they were fabulous. Skin on and lovely and crispy but they were pre-salted. I rarely use salt at home and we never put it on our daughter's food. Salt and pepper sachets are available so it seems unnecessary to put the salt on them.

The sesame buns were no better than any cheap burger joint, the burgers themselves are tasteless and the mushrooms had that plasticky texture of tinned ones. Even the cheese was 'plastic' sliced, processed cheese.

I would very much like to make burgers for the "five guys" to show them what a great burger is at a fraction of the cost.

We cook from scratch at home so eating out can be difficult because I am particularly critical but if I'd wanted a cheap, tasteless burger, I would have gone to McDonald's. I've had better burgers for £1.80 (double cheeseburger) from a street vendor in town.

Not worth the money. It looks like a cheap burger joint, feels like a cheap burger joint and serves burgers just like those in a cheap burger joint.

2 bacon cheeseburgers, a mini hamburger for my little girl, a large fries between 3 of us, a milkshake and two of the free refill soft drinks cost £39.85. I really expected better for the money.

There's the additional delight of the clientele that think that they are a cut above who look down their noses at you when you're in dotty Doc Martens, jeans and a t-shirt rather than the 'right' labels.

On the plus side, the...

Pretty expensive for fast food: £10.90 for a regular cheese burger, small chips and no drink. The food was ok, but nothing special. Similar to Burger King, although the chips still had skins on. Staff were friendly, but the music was far too loud, and seemed silly since practically no one else was in there. Their slogan is Burgers and Fries, and the menu certainly lives up to that. There is pretty much nothing on offer except a couple of burgers and different sizes of chip portions, plus some milkshakes. No other sides, no coffee, no deserts. Just burgers and fries. It's not objectionable, so if I was invited to go in a group and someone else was paying the bill I'd tag along, but I wouldn't choose to go there again myself. You're paying restaurant prices...

My first time trying Five Guys because I had a money off voucher and I'm not entirely sure what all the hype is about. It is extremely overpriced for a start. The Burgers are nice yes but no different to other popular non-chain burger joints in the city center. The Five Guys fries were standard skin on fries, nothing to write home about but they cost me a fiver. But the biggest joke was the hotdog I bought for my aunt. Now when you think of a hot dog you imagine a jumbo hotdog or at least a decent sized one that is equal to the size of the regular hot dog buns you can buy at Tesco. The hotdog I got from this place was abut the size of a KFC mini fillet and it cost me nearly 6 quid. If you have money to throw away, then Five Guys is your...
