Five Guys Burgers and Fries Trafford Retail Park — Restaurant in Trafford

It's another Five Guys. It's fine. Food tastes consistent and good, toppings are reliable. Sadly you sometimes have to encourage them to actually pour on a decent amount of hot sauce...

Tip: order Cajun fries but ask for the seasoning in a separate plastic pot. It's super salty so you may prefer to just selectively sprinkle it over some fries and leave the rest plain.

A few dedicated parking spaces for customers at this branch is handy, as it shares the corner of the retail park with a very busy McDonald's. The restaurant is a loud prefab box with the music turned up a little bit too loud, you can struggle to hear yourself think never mind place an order.

Obviously it's all cooked fresh so expect to wait upwards of 20-25 minutes at busy periods. It's also not cheap; expect to pay at least £30 for two burgers and fries, more if you also get a ludicrously overpriced milkshake.

Convenient if you don't want to go into the Trafford Centre or you want takeaway. However the upstairs seating above the TC five guys is much more cosy and often quiet enough that you have the space...

Edit: I’ve seen the response to my review yes ok fresh ingredients but still I paid restaurant prices for a burger chucked in a paper bag and my fries split inside, no tray and paper cups for a milkshake that cost £7!!! This was my first time visiting one of these restaurants as we were out of town and fancied a change from mcds…but oh my god, £60 for 4 burgers, 1 large fries and 4 milkshakes…what an absolute rip off and unbelievable really. It doesn’t even get served on a tray it’s shoved in a bag, our fries had been spilt inside the bag, the place wasn’t overly clean either. You help yourself to condiments and serviettes. Paying restaurant prices for fast food service!! Saying that my son ate every last morsel of his food and the milkshakes were nice but certainly not worth £6!! You would expect them to be served in glasses rather than paper cups and straws at that price! Won’t return to a five guys ever again with these rip off prices sadly. It should be half the price...

Visited for a quick bite after a day of shopping. The service by the ladies who took my order and gave me my order was nice. The food was amazing as always at Five Guys (however very pricey compared to other popular fast food chains). The chips and shakes are absolutely amazing and a must try for anyone and everyone. I had the veg sandwich with cheese which I always love. 5 stars for the food. The only downside I experienced was that there was a male staff member who I spoke to about obtaining a key for the disabled toilets to wash my hands just like everyone else did (as it was locked and the main toilets were out of service - only 4 stars because of non useable main toilets) however he gave the vibe that I wasn't welcomed at his store, unlike the other 2 ladies who served me. Very strange behaviour from the male colleague on that day hence only 3 stars for the atmosphere for me. Avoid him and everyone...
