How hard is it to put mustard

How hard is it to put mustard, relish and ketchup on a burger? Every time we order through Deliveroo - there is nothing on it, and the fries are always cold. Better to just do my own on the BBQ.

Do not recommended at all, very disappointing

Tried this place for the first time on a Saturday night. Bacon cheeseburger cost more than £11. Very disorganised. Burger was dry, lukewarm and meh. Totally not worth the cost, would not use this place again. Junk food for restaurant prices. The feedback provided is clearly just standard response and doesn't address the poor quality of the food, just attempts to justify the excessively high price.

Thank you for taking the time to get in touch regarding your concerns about our pricing.

We feel that we offer great value for money, given the high quality and care we put into our burgers, fries and whole menu.

There are no freezers in any of our stores. We also only use fresh and premium ingredients, which are prepared by hand each morning by our crew, to ensure a high-quality product.

We’re also unique as everything is cooked to order, serving you fresh food with customisable products to make sure your meal is exactly how you like it. In short – we are obsessed by creating the best burgers and fries we know and feel the only way to get there is through combining the best possible ingredients with great in-house production, training and cleanliness standards.

Thanks again for taking the time to share your concerns and we hope that this explains more about how we do things and why our prices are what they are.

Avoid as Awful cold burger delivered by Uber…

Awful cold burger delivered by Uber eats. Now part of the problem was with the time to deliver, however the other fault is clearly the store.
Why leave cooked food unheated for 30 minutes while uber wait for another driver? So it arrives cold.
Order wrong, we ordered one burger with cheese and one without. Both burgers arrived with cheese. We ordered BBQ sauce in the burgers, there was none in either. Ordered extra mayo and ketchup sachets, none in the bag. Will never use again as they just don’t care about delivery orders.

I had aFast delivery, but the worst Five Guys burgers we’ve had incredibly bad experience…

I had an incredibly bad experience ordering Five Guys via Uber Eats. The delivery was surprisingly fast, but unfortunately the food quality was shocking.

My colleagues and I were really disappointed when the burgers arrived. The buns were completely soggy, the cheese was melted and smeared all over the burgers, and the patties were cold and greasy — honestly, they tasted like they were old or reheated leftovers. The whole burger was soaked in a watery, runny sauce which made everything even worse.

I raised my concerns with Uber Eats support, and their response was to offer £1.29 credit to my Uber Eats account. That felt like an insult considering the condition of the food.

It’s such a shame that a well-known brand like Five Guys seems to be ignoring basic quality standards. I’m sadly and genuinely disappointed, and I won’t be ordering again.

Do not order from this place online. The delivery drivers do not care in the slightest. There will always be a problem. Late,cold, damaged or just disgusting nothing else needs to be said. Food is good when you buy it in store so not a 1 star. But justified in the correct situation.

Always forgetting things

Always forgetting things - I’ve just ordered one burger and a milkshake and they didn’t send the milkshake, how hard is it to send a burger and a drink out but there not even capable of that, this happens all the time with this store - better of going to seven bone just round the corner

I’m not one to write reviews normally but this cannot be a coincidence. About two months ago I got a five guys and ended up with food poisoning. Last night, my husband got one, first one since I had my FP and now he has got it! I don’t know if things have changed but we will never eat here again.

Nearly 2 hours waiting for our order

Ordered our food and it took nearly two hours from the time of ordering to get our food.

Delivery person was absolutely useless and kept faffing about before even getting out the car. Food was stone cold because it had spent so long in his car because he "had" another Delivery first.

Awful cold food

We ordered a delivery yesterday at 3.32pm on Uber Eats order number 7CCE9. From the delivery order note I can see that the order was ready at 3.41 pm and was delivered to me at 3.25pm. Consequently, the food delivered was cold. The chips were stone cold and stale and the burgers were luke warm, squashed and soggy. It is not acceptable to take 45 minutes to deliver a food order and then fob me off both by Five Guys and Uber Eats.

I’m right now sitting in five guys at the forte Glasgow , my grandson wanted a mini cheese burger, fries and a drink£17 odds !!
So okay it’s expensive, but I’m sitting at a table which is so grotty !! I have photos ! We have been waiting 10 mins , still no food, am I missing something ? The place has a handful of eaters , 15 mins and the burger is here !!! Wow, it looks a basic burger , well it’s little wonder it’s quiet, what a terrible experience!. Clean your tables and reduce the ridiculous prices ! I have photos, chips burned , the owners need to be taken to task, £17:15 for a kids meal!!! What a total disgrace !

Second and last visit to Five Guys

Have been to Five Guys before in Worcester and enjoyed it even tough it is expensive. Thought we would try the local one in Silverlink North Tyneside for comparison. Big mistake. Ordered a Bacon burger for me a small Cheese burger for my wife and some fries. The wife's burger was barely lukewarm so I returned it, which they promptly replaced with a better one and an apology, fair enough. Next problem was the fries. They had so much salt on them they were inedible !, and I LIKE salt
Now we don't like to complain, and I had just returned one burger so the fries got left and the bin got £5 worth of fries. That's it, we are done with Five guys, there is no reason in this day and age to be paying over £20 for 2 burgers and fries when they cannot even cook or season them properly. Never again, I'll stick to KFC in future. To be brutally honest, I think 2 stars is me being generous.

First time weve tried Five Guys and wont be going again. I havnt selected the one we bought from as we only bought the food there to take out so would not seem fair to judge the actual location. I just felt the food was not worth the high prices. 2 small burgers, one small chips (you hardly get any) and a shake, almost £30. Too expensive for what it is.

This place has had a possible recent change of staff and is going downhill fast. Feeble portion of a Frie topper and Burgers untidely put together in a hurry. Upon raising concerns with Jasper in Management, their only answer was to imply that I was a liar. I have been a regular since its opening, but I won't be returning and recommend others don't either.
