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.

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.

Do not order from this place online

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.

Good online customer service

I had a bad experience at a store with them leaving our order for ages and being out of ingredients. I filled in the customer feedback form on the receipt and ended up speaking to someone from their customer service and the person who messaged me was very nice and helpful. Definitely improved my view of five guys after my bad experience.

Really poor burgers

I've eaten at some decent Five Guys but this time the burgers were really poor. Contents really cold, cheese completely unmelted.

Spent £108 on this occasion and when raised the issue with Customer Service they couldn't have cared less. It's fine when things go wrong, it happens! It's not fine when your so called 'Customer Service Team' refuse to acknowledge issues or offer a solution.

Will be avoiding Five Guys in future.
