Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Most reviewers were unhappy with their experience overall. Customers have expressed mixed feelings regarding various aspects of the business. People report different opinions about the order, staff, service and quality. This suggests inconsistency in these areas, making it difficult to form a conclusive opinion. However, there is a strong consensus among consumers regarding the price, with many believing that the business is too expensive for what it offers. This is a significant point of agreement, indicating that the pricing strategy may be a concern for a large number of people.

Deeply disappointed by how my son was treated at Five Guys

⭐☆☆☆☆

My son worked at this Chester City Centre branch of Five Guys, and what he went through was shocking. From his first day, he was made to feel uncomfortable and anxious by an assistant manager’s behaviour (Alyssia) Despite raising his concerns through the proper channels and speaking with another senior member of staff (Josh), the company completely failed to take his complaint seriously.

HR were contacted, but their response showed zero empathy or accountability. They hid behind technicalities rather than investigating clear allegations of bullying and unfair treatment. Since then, we’ve heard from others who’ve had similar experiences at the same branch — yet Five Guys have done nothing to address it.

As a parent, I’m heartbroken and angry. No young person should be treated this way in their first job. Five Guys need to take a long, hard look at how they manage and support their staff. This experience has left my son disillusioned and anxious, and it has completely destroyed our trust in the company.

I sincerely hope Five Guys start valuing their employees’ wellbeing instead of brushing complaints under the rug.

Delivery Fail

Ordered 2 x cheeseburgers, with fries, for my birthday. Delivery only had one burger in it which we had to share. Really disappointing. And it was barely warm.

Hi Tracey, we are sincerely sorry to hear that a burger was missing in this order. Please report this directly via the delivery platform for a solution.

Not the same as it once was :(

My family and I use to love Five Guys but after our recent experience we won't be back. I will no longer recommend it to friends and family.

Customer Service has also gone down hill just like the quality of their products.

I reached out to Customer Services after a poor experience. The buns were not toasted properly, tasted funny and the burgers fell apart.

The fries weren't cooked like they normally are, weren't hot or seasoned. Do not underestimate the need for buns to be toasted properly, it completely changes the texture and flavour of the product.

Customer Services then completely fail to understand the problem I've reported:

"To confirm, we do not toast our buns with a toasted or to be golden brown. The bun is toasted on our dedicated bread grill for a few seconds, until the bread has a rough sandpaper texture in the exterior. The bread may still be white when you receive the burger, and we do not toast the outside of the bun, so it is still expected to be fluffy.

The fries have alsso been cooked to ostandard. We are currently using a different type of potato which makes the fries look brighter in colour, so the light colouring is not an indication that they are undercooked. The fries are not made to be crispy as a standard.

From the photos you submitted, the food was cooked to the expected standard."

I've ate many of your burgers and fries to know what the standard is. The standards are slipping along with the Customer Service!

Five Guys was the odd guilty treat, it was hard to justify the cost but I don't have that problem any more by simply not paying for substandard quality and terrible customer service.

Poor experience won’t return

Attended as a family to Milton Keynes for my daughter’s birthday. Poor service with no initiative or common-sense. Inflexibility approach to customer request for a couple of extra pickles even offered to pay for them as my daughter loves them and it was her special day. No empathy or understanding from main customer services with a don’t care attitude told I would have to buy her an adult burger to get them. I will never return to this chain. Overpriced and better burgers elsewhere with more helpful friendly staff!

Absolutely fab visit this evening, our server Paul was lovely and cheerful and nothing was too much trouble. My meal was missing cheese and peppers and he promptly corrected this and was very apologetic! My first time having five guys and I’ll definitely be back! Thank you Paul at Ipswich :)

What's all the fuss about?

Five Guys Chiswick Review

What's all the fuss about?

It's Difficult to fault the technical application of burgers here.

There seems to be a good process and staff are trained or instructed to say all the right things.

As a burger lover, the quality of the burger was poor.
There was no real taste and the bottom bun was soggy.

It took a while for me to understand that all the extras I was being asked about was included in the price.

I was astonished to find there were no meal deals and every item was extra.

We had 2 burgers and 1 small fries for £30 - wow!!
This with no drink or shake.

The staff were so focused on ticking all the right boxes, they often forgot to smile.

Average experience, however, because of the price point and lack of special offer deals etc. I'm unlikely to visit again

Sorry Five guys you are far too expensive for me. And the taste and quality doesn't qualify for a one-off expensive treat either.

Avoid the grilled cheese sandwich!

I literally could not believe how utterly revolting the grilled cheese sandwich was, the cheese was so synthetic, with this ghastly slimy texture. It was very expensive too. It's genuinely one of the most revolting things I've ever eaten. I was especially shocked because I think their chips are wonderful, so I had high hopes for the grilled cheese.

Beware Coeliacs

As someone with Coeliac, they appear to take precautions to avoid cross contamination. However, a couple of times recently I have noticed a disturbing practice. The person responsible for my order is thorough, changing gloves, preparing the tray etc. However, another person seems to prepare burger buns (with gluten!), then goes on to finish the burgers on the grill, then transfers the patties to my tray and touches the burger as it is placed in my tray. This means it is no longer a place I can afford to relax for even a second!
