I wish I had visited this website…

I wish I had visited this website before I ordered from five guys I, would have realised how bad their food was.
So, after waiting for an hour for my delivery of double burger chips and a coke £25.00 and change it arrived an hour late for a restaurant that is 10 minutes away from me well, it is Thursday night. I thought they may have been busy so as long as the food was great
Was I in for a disappointment. The bun was squashed and the burgers in side were cold and the pieces of salad were all over the bag the chips were stone cold as well.IT went in the only place it deserved to be the dustbin.
It was an expensive treat that the dustbin enjoyed. I would have been better of going to McDonalds and getting my dinner for £10.00.

I paid for luxury burger and chips i got rubbish. never again.

Absolutely brilliant customer service

Absolutely brilliant customer service. I have visited quite a few 5 Guys restaurants throughout London but I must say the restaurant in St. Paul's London is by far the best.
Friendly, professional staff, clean restaurant and very welcoming.
They made me feel like a valued customer and went above and beyond to make sure my visit was a memorable one.
Well done to the guys n gals at St. Paul's! Keep up the good work and please don't lower your standards.
Well Done!!

Very Satisfied Customer 10/10!!!

I am a first-timer coming to the Five…

I am a first-timer coming to the Five Guys restaurant, and upon walking through the door, I got a fusty smell. Anyway, when ordering my food, I got a double cheeseburger with chips (sorry, fries) and my partner's food as well. When checking out, it came to £61.00 with two drinks. First of all, what a joke! McDonald's is £40 cheaper. What a rip-off this place is! Then, sitting down for food, the fries were not even cut properly; the skin was still left on them. Then came the original Coke; the Coke was flat; it wasn't even fresh. Then came the food. When opening up the foil container, the bun was crushed to hell; it was like it went through a garbage disposal inside a waste truck, seriously though. And the burgers themselves were dry and full of grease, even when touching the foil. The only good thing about this place was that it was really clean and tidy, and the two stars were generous.

Absolutely unacceptable

Absolutely unacceptable. The staff treat delivery drivers with clear disrespect and discrimination, as if they are inferior. The attitude is rude, dismissive, and degrading. No one deserves to be treated this way—this place seriously needs to change.

I noted your response to Andrew Green…

I noted your response to Andrew Green last month who complained about the state of the cleaning . Your response did not happen . We had to move because of the filth under the table . I stopped my grandson using the first toilet because it was so dirty . Had having a good experience at Gun wharf . You have let Five gUys down . Even the food was not up to standard

Don’t order 5 guys delivery

Food took over an hour to arrive. Food was cold. They put pickles in my burger and I didn’t even ask for them. 1 little sachet of mayo provided. Clearly the people that work there don’t care about their jobs at all. Overall very very disappointing.

Incredible customer service

Absolutely amazing service. I ordered a double bacon cheeseburger and then realised I was starving so asked to change it to a triple.
My food came and I was so hungry they I didn't really look at the burger. As I was finishing, my order number was called again. I went up to explain that I had already collected my food, but the guys explained that they had forgotten to add the extra patty, so they had made me ANOTHER TRIPLE!!!
Not only did they not try to hide their mistake, they acknowledged it and then more than made up for it.
Amazing customer service should always be recognised and the guys at the Colchester branch of 5 Guys are awesome and absolutely made my day.

Shocking service from both Five guys…

Shocking service from both Five guys and Uber eats (Drive)
Ordered for my son‘s birthday for him and his pals and all the milkshakes were missing when I asked the driver where they were he shrugged his shoulders and when I don’t know I have a drive up and get myself or tell him that you didn’t get them I found that really shocking and rude very expensive food. Also the bags had finger marks in them because he ripped the bags. Therefore the food was cold not acceptable at all.
Try to ring restaurant to ask them if I could collect the drinks for the boys and the number doesn’t work? No dialling tone just nothing.
