Five Guys Burgers and Fries Newcastle Silverlink — Restaurant in North Tyneside

I've been to the Silverlink Five Guys a few times now and I can say it's a very good place to eat

The food is, in my opinion, extremely good. Some say it's overrated but in my opinion Five Guys has some of the best fast food burgers and the quality here does not drop compared to the larger Five Guys such as the one in Newcastle. The amount of customisation also aids this greatly. The chips are also very nice with both the Cajun and regular fries being well made and having a large amount for the price you pay for them. The main piece (such as the burger) is often pricey but if you can afford to spend it, it's often well worth it. The milkshakes here are also good though the paper straws they use leave a lot to be desired with them going soggy half way through leading me to change my straw to continue enjoying my drink.

The restaurant staff are also good with them being helpful and efficient though this may be helped by me only going during off hours. The place itself is clean with there being no obvious issues with the tables or serving counters which is needed for a fast food establishment.

Overall, the Silverlink Five Guys is a great restaurant to go to if you have the money to spend on the food here. The place is good and the food tastes great with it being filling so the money feels well spent. I will return if I'm ever...

Had a little hamburger "all the way," medium fries. Hamburger was fine but the mushroom and tomato made the bread a bit mushy, there was very little in way of lettuce, onions and other additions compared with when five guys launched in the area years ago. Five guys as a company isn't loading on with additional fries on top of cup as they once did, probably get about one cup and third rather than twice the cup quantity of fries as they used to do. Maybe was just a launch gimmick though? The fries here and at another local branch were luke warm and floppy so not sure of change to cooking procedure, but they definitely weren't crispy. Tried another branch just to see if experience was the same, and it was.

Burger meat was good and reasonably priced for what you get (would caution on getting mushroom and tomato unless you like wet bread though), don't think fries and refillable drink prices are in line with value for what you get though.

Overall, okay to eat at as a luxe alternative to the usual fast food places but feel only the burger itself is value for the price and quality of...

During my afternoon visit on 1/2/24, my second time at Five Guys (having previously only been to the Newcastle location), I'm still navigating the menu. The staff at the counter were patient and provided excellent advice. Another team member delivering our order was exceptionally friendly. The food was not only delicious but the place was also impeccably clean. This burger joint outshines the nearby McDonald's; I consistently find McDonald's disappointing, with food that lacks freshness, likely due to being kept hot. In contrast, Five Guys cooks to order on a hot plate, resulting in a gourmet experience, especially with their...
