Best burger I’ve ever had. Staff are patient and polite, property is clean and spacious and don’t get me started on the fries. Well worth the extra money for a proper burger and fries. The hot dogs are pretty special, too, and the milkshakes will fill you right up…especially the Reese’s one. 🤤

The burgers are good, real american ones, but you have to add at least something to make them tasty. The personnel is always polite and helpful. The atmosphere is a little depressing, but free nuts as you wait for your order makes it bearable!

Visiting Colchester area and decided to stop in for some grub. The food was great as always but what separated this from all the other Five Guys that I've been to across the country was Paul. Paul was happy, helpful, and enthusiastic, an absolute credit to both the restaurant and the brand. 10/10. Thank you.

Tasty burgers and chips. Visited with my grandson as a treat for his birthday- he loved it! He also had a very thick like ice cream Oreo milkshake. Staff were friendly and helpful. However, it wasn’t cheap and I found it quite messy eating the burger which consisted of two patties of meat without cutlery as was really an expensive takeaway. Despite this the burgers were the best I’ve had in a long while so now I know what to expect would go again but would make sure I had wet wipes.

This is the first time I have been to 5 guys and they do by far the best fast food burgers. The burgers are cooked fresh and you get to choose what you want on them. There is a great choice of what you can have to create a original burger for you. You can also create a original milkshake which includes bacon. The bacon takes the sweetness off the milkshake.

Very good smashed style burgers with lots of topping options. Onions would be better sliced and not cubed so they don't fall out, cheese could be added when burgers are still on the flat top to avoid the half cold half melted effect. Probably the best burgers on a high street or shopping centre near you though.

Never tried a Five Guys before but have been meaning to for a while since one of our offspring had a job in one for a while. Burgers good...a whole several levels above a Maccy D's and a great system in being able to have as many or as few toppings on as you like. Cajun spiced fries - awesome - two burgers and a single medium fries filled us both up. It's too easy and overly simplistic to dismiss Five Guys as overly expensive - the ingredients are prepared fresh every day, the staff are relatively well paid in a traditionally underpaid sector (maybe that's why they are so damned cheerful and helpful...take note KFC et al) and the burgers and fries come in tin foil and a paper bag...which was a touch that we loved - so little waste. We paid £24 for the food above and a drink each (we avoided the calorie laden milkshakes)...we felt well fed and watered and that we'd eaten an above average product - definitely better than a pub burger and chips that we'd have paid a similar price for.

Very disappointed with this chain, very expensive, no hot drinks, it was a freezing cold day and they had the big main door open, I asked if it could be closed and they said no, no other restaurants keep the doors open so sat freezing while the grandkids ate, and guess what, no prices on the Web site, take my advice avoid if you don't want to be ripped off

I'd never been to a Five Guys before, and I wasn't sure if I could eat there as a gluten free person... turns out I can! On arrival, a bit confused by what to have and the server was helpful and patient (thankfully there wasn't a big queue!) Amazing choice of options for your burger - burger is completely gluten free too. I had it wrapped in lettuce but the other option was a salad bowl. When I'd placed my order and said GF, the server went straight to the other team member and said it. She changed her gloves, and got out new prep stuff before she started mine. The burger was good, cooked really well and tasty, maybe not the best burger I've ever had if I was comparing JUST the burger like for like, but the extra toppings really made it! Overall an amazing lettuce wrapped burger. The fries were tasty too, but we got a large to share between 2 of us... rookie error! There were enough fries to feed at least a family of 4! Good service, and good food.

Oh yes this girl loves her burgers! Five Guys let's you choose from so many different toppings to go on your burger, so you can either pack it out or keep it simple. I like to keep it simple. Pickles & onions with ketchup. Side order of Cajun fries to go with & I'm sorted. I do highly recommend Five Guys, the food is cooked in front of you, it's fresh & extremely tasty. Enjoy!!

Wow the best cheeseburger and chips I've ever had in my 54 years alive. The chips are to die for and I only wish that I bought a large portion rather then a small one but I believe the chips are double fried and you get a choice of a spicy seasoning or a regular seasoning on the chips but unlike the worst chips from KFC which taste dull and bland the chips at five guys are crisp and crunchy and so fresh that you can taste the potatoe in each chip and the five guys I went to even had a notice by the stacked up bags of spuds to say what farm they were from. The burgers were cooked fresh and not frozen unlike other well known burger outlets. The burgers had a lovely flavour as well and we're cooked to perfection. You can chose from a wide range of fillings and toppings as well for your burger ie onions mushrooms peppers and different sauces. I do have to admit that it's not a cheap meal for 2 people but if you don't mind paying a little bit extra for quality then personally speaking I would chose five guys every time tho it's not the kind of meal you have every day but a treat maybe every couple of months or a special occasion but whatever you chose to do I can't recommend this burger chain enough and I for one will make another visit there with my friend for a pre christmas treat. ENJOY!!

Always nice food, have not had any issues in the past. I like the ability to select what is in the burger or milkshake. Simple pricing of: burger £5, medium fries £5~, milkshake £5. The chips are delicious but the Cajun had a bit too much spice for me (too much seasoning!). Milkshakes are awesome, no complaints. Just deliveroo always takes a while to arrive when I am hungry! Images: Burger Bowl (Veggie with Cheese - nice to get more toppings as not in the bun!), Vanilla + Banana + Strawberry Milkshake, Medium fries, also Relish (ordered with burger) and Mayo on the side

First time visit. Assumed fast food was fast food. The ordering experience isn't particularly unique, and the prices are somewhat high, but the quality of the food is more akin to what you'd expect from a pub/ restaurant experience sans the long weight. All extras are free and configurable, soft drinks self serve free refills so, go crazy. Could be my new fast food of choice

I personally find the burgers bland and sub par but that may be because I don't have the illusion with all the toppings so I get to taste the burger for what it is as I have it completely plain but that shouldn't matter. But the staff are always friendly, you have a large variety to put in the burgers and in the milkshakes and it's my partners favourite burger place to eat. Prices are a little much for the size burger you get but it's a business.

Today I went in to get some food. I'd been hankering for a burger and fries and this place didn't disappoint. The milkshakes are super thick, so thick you could probably walk on them, which I love. The burgers were not greasy but well filled and the portion of chips was large. They do free refills of soft drinks as well. They do have a notice on the door saying they have open bags of peanuts so it you have a nut allergy take care. Overall though a great experience and a welcome burger.

Food was great, service not so much. We were essentially told to leave the restaurant whilst getting ready to make our order. We complied and left, however we decided we actually wanted to follow through with our order so we went back in, however a lady whispered in the ear of the lady at the till before we got there. We were then told that they were only accepting takeaway orders at this point (I'm guessing this is what the lady told her to say) .This was at 9:20 in the evening, given closing time, I found this quite suspicious but this was confirmed when other groups who had ordered after us were able to sit down and eat. Won't be coming back for this reason.

Just the job for a sit in lunch over that side of town on our way to Highwoods. Great idea of the staff member to offer us the lunch deal as the portion of fish was just the right size for my husband and I. Crispy batter, flaky moist cod, great chips. The staff member agreed that getting wooden cutlery is their next step and said she would try a different supplier. Once that is in place it will be Practically Perfect in every way 🍒
