Five Guys, Harlow link |
When Five Guys, the American burger chain opened their first branch in London over a year ago there were queues round the block. Soon we saw Five Guys popping up around the UK and most excitedly one in Harlow, a town I visit often for a spot of retail therapy. This could certainly be dangerous.
If you read my burger battle between Five Guys and Shake Shack you will remember that Five Guys was the winner for me so how would this local branch compare?
Despite popping along for my visit weeks after it's opening the store was packed full of people hungrily waiting for their burgers, it certainly seemed to take a lot longer than the London branch had but that could just be due to my being so hungry.
Everything you recognise from Five Guys is at this local branch, the familiar red and white decor, the menu and of course the famous drinks machine offering all manner of soft drinks you could wish for (cherry 7 Up zero for me).
Are you a Five Guys fan?
I love Five Guys - I especially like their grilled cheese sandwiches. They're easily one of my favourite fast food places!

I've always been tempted to try one of them.
DeleteI still haven't been to 5 guys! It always looks soo busy. Definitely need to go and try it though when it's a bit quieter! x

I know, I've never known a quiet time in one.
DeleteOk... so I love 5 Guys over here - but I want to know, in UK do they have bags (sacks) of unshelled peanuts which are free for you to take and eat before you get your order?
ReplyDeleteThe first time we ever went to 5 Guys was when my eldest boy had just broken his finger and had a cast put on - so not sure I will ever eat a burger without remembering this!! Do you think they compare to In n out burger? Sure you had those in Las Vegas, right?
Yep they still have the unshelled peanuts in the UK stores. Unfortunately I never got to an In n Out Burger in Vegas… it's on my list to visit.
DeleteI remember the queue at the Covent Garden one when it opened - bonkers! I've been a few times in the US and I love it. Never tried a UK branch...
ReplyDeleteI've never tried a US branch yet!
DeleteYum. That's made me hungry, and I've only just eaten breakfast! x
ReplyDeleteThere's always room for a good burger!
DeleteI love a burger and your photos have got me craving one now! I haven't tried Five Guys but it's on my list! x

Having published this post burgers are all I can think about!
DeleteSo funny they are in UK also and shake shack? My goodness We have so many in NY and I am on a diet so I can wear cute clothes when I come to London so staying far far far away! lol They are good but there are too many great burger places here...thus making it very difficult to lose weight. lol Do they have the barrels of peanuts there? As you wait you get peanuts. So fun Now I want a burger all your fault! Grace xoox
ReplyDeleteHA I love burgers too and am trying to avoid them as they are a weakness of mine! Yes we have Shake Shack too… and strangely I've never had either in the US!! London is big on the burger bandwagon these days and doing very well. xx
DeleteBelieve it or not I've not been to 5 guys even though there's practically one on my doorstep! The food looks delicious I must really go there sometime! xx
