Very consistent quality. Always one of the juiciest burgers in town . Don't go wild with the toppings though. My topping line : mayo , pickles , grilled onions ..

Pedro Cambra

Regular size is extra big. Go for the little burgers . Also small fries are enough for two for sharing. Free peanuts while you wait and a stupid amount of soft drink options. Downstairs is more quiet .

Michael Yang

Chips/fries sizes are slightly misleading, in a good way. A small is enough for 2, or a large man. A medium is enough for 3-4 or 2 large men. A large fries is enough for 3-4 large men. Try the cajun!

Tak Ha

Come hungry because the burgers are a decent size, with 2 patties and A HECK OF A LOT of topping choices. Cajun fries are quite moreish too and the drinks machine offers a crazy array of options.

Antony

I'm a vegetarian , and this is a burger restaurant . So I have realistic expectations I'm not their audience. But their veggie food really is a middle finger to veggies - just the toppings in a bun !

Jon Choo

Bacon cheese (double patties) burger with jalapeno peppers . Do it!

Chris-Tèr Jorgito

Little burgers are for weaklings! Two patties always better than 1. great cajun fries . they are not chips , they are medium thick fries ! overpriced but worth trying!

James Gill

Huge and delicious burgers . Chips , so many chips – you rarely need anything more than a small portion of chips . Also love the unlimited refills on drinks.

Dorian Tireli

A proper hamburger . Simple. Tasty. Quality ingredients. Love it.

Rosephine Fernandes

Delicious burgers , you can choose your own combinations of fillings and sauces. Free refills for soft drinks . Casual atmosphere .

David

Don't think if these as gourmet burgers by any means. It's premium fast food (still good though). Soda fans will enjoy the drinks machine (it can make 150 odd drinks)

Dinos GV

Ok to visit once or twice but it's expensive , the burgers are always very messy to eat, not sure i really like the peanut oil fries and bottomless cola is half water. Go for the small burger and fries

Nicola Clement

Generous sizes! I only needed the little bacon cheeseburger and small fries . Endless refills on drinks added awesomeness :)

Will Clark

The basic cheeseburger is a thing of beauty. Classic, greasy burger . Worth the wait.

Luke Tullo

Free peanuts , the many toppings make for a decent vegetarian burger/sandwich, generous portions of fries

Andrew Whitehead

Burgers and fries are what they do best but the hot dogs are pretty good too.

Tom Burns

Little burger just means one patty - not "small". Small fries are also easily enough for one! They top up the bag

Chrissy Wallace

Cheeseburgers are massive, small chip portion is pretty big too. Both tasty and good value !

T H

Only got 1 star out of 5 in the Guardian 'Best Burgers ' review and it's easy to see why. The veggie option is truly disgusting - essentially just soggy mushrooms in a bun .

Paul Anderson-Foster

The quality burgers , hot dogs and fries . Just be aware that the fabulous shakes are not sold here.

Benjamin Esterson

The Cheeseburgers are delicious, though not the prettiest things. Powerful meaty flavour.

Kurt Haa

Get your burger straight, and enjoy the simplicity of a good and honest meat :-)

David R

Burgers are great. Servings of fries give insight into the US obesity epidemic. Order small or give them a miss entirely.

Salvo DB

I definitely prefer Byron or Vigata Burgers on 200 Pentonville Road . They make their own buns

Tom Brewer

Really good burgers . Can chose exactly what you want in it. No more unwanted pickle !

Andrew Smallwood

Five Guys lands in Islington! Quicker and nicer than Byron . Go 'all in' and taste the difference

Kimberley Cook

Do not be fooled into thinking you need a normal burger , it is the same size as a small one but with an extra bit of meat. Same with small fries , easily enough for one.

Rajesh Patki

Burgers are good but chips are the best!

Alexandra Tritz

Burgers are awesome and fries are hand cut everyday !

Becky Williams

Five Guys get my vote for best gourmet burger . Only Honest come close.

Mona

I didn't like this place when I first went but it's ok for a late late burger . I prefer the double cheese with some extras and no sauces with it. I don't get the fries as I find them too salty.

Sebastian Wagner

are you friggin kiddi me?? 8 GBP for a bacon burger ???? you are not shitting gold on your buns , how can you even dare charging anything near that price? the burger was good but nowhere nere 8 GBP!!

Jef Weg

They dump a billion fries in your take away bag so get a small size. The "little burgers " are only little if you're fat

Justin Davies

Don't think about it, just walk in and get a burger . It's awesome

Kizzy Wellard

Really friendly staff great with kids. Really helpful. Chip portion size are massive.

Andrew White

Burghers are good. French Fries are better. Unfortunately, side portion are small. You can keep drinking fizzy drinks for free non-stop, but the meal is overpriced. £25 for medium and a small meal

Rosa Reid

Not for me..reminds me of old the wimpy burgers ....over priced considering there are loads of burger joints around which are more superior I had a refund and the guy assisting me was very apologetic

Bernardo Pinto

Good burgers . Ask for medium-rare for increased pleasure.

Rogue One

Delicious but expensive . Get the 'little' burgers , plenty big enough.

Kurt Haa

Super! Great! Simple & good!

Manilaice

Prefer it to GBK but that's personal preference as burgers are much more juicier

Anthony Shepherd

Very tasty burgers . The singles are more than enough though.

BrokeinLondon.com

Not the best option for sure as it reminds a bit a burger from Burger King. However it is quite descent if you are around the area and you find yourself extremely hungry! Read more

Tom White

Burgers are great. Chips not great but the portion is enough for 2.

Brad T

I dare you to find a better burger in London.

Maxime Dubois

Normal cheese burger is quiet enough if you have a normal appetite. Double cheese and regular chips are too big.

Nicholas Akass

Massive portions to go with the price. Come here VERY hungry.

Ignacio Pasquini

Great burgers and hand cut potatoes

Martin Marmorstein

Great burgers and shakes as always!

Brien O'Keeffe

the staff mainly shout and holler but not in an attractive New York way

I always go mid-week and it's a pretty pleasant experience. The seats are comfy and the screen and sound quality is excellent. A little overpriced but then so is everywhere in London. - Bobby
