I had never been to a five guys before. This was my first experience. The first thing is that the actual eating area was untidy. Not actually dirty but a bit of a mess. Tables were squint, chairs all over the place, quite a lot of crumbs. Not bad enough to affect the score but noticeable. We would have preferred our food to be taken to us instead of getting shouted back to collect it but that is just the way it's done so I can swing with that. The only problem is the price. I have never complained about the price of something before as I am will to pay extra for something a bit special. The burger was very good. The shake was very good. Very tasty. Not excellent.

My son said it was one of the best milkshakes he's had and he's tried quite a few. I would say the little burger is a normal sized burger and would even do an adult. I love the options of toppings. The normal burger has two meat patties. I literally rolled out if the place I was so stuffed. Family of five with young kids cost over £60 so not your standard fast food outing. I so glad I don't live near one as I would be significantly...
