We had a drink while we were waiting (loved the old-fashioned caramel cocktail!), the bar staff were super friendly and joke-y which was nice. Like I said, we got seated much sooner than we expected in the upstairs bit (the atmosphere in the lower level looked better but they couldn't fit us in). The menu is cool! Loads of variations on the originals and I'd heard a lot about the fries... I had a chicken burger with marmite fries. Yep, you read that right, marmite fries! Other people had bacon bacon fries which is basically a basket of fries with bacon bits and bacon-mayo which was also great (only could only manage a few though!). Burger's looked great (I don't eat beef but I was told they were great!), mine was good, not spectacular really, but I'd recommend it for burger lovers! Really nice surprise and a lovely evening!

All hail the cult of the burger. Leeds, if you've not noticed the slow take over by America's…read moregreatest export, I don't know where you've been. It began with RARE and Patty Smiths. (Okay, maybe It Bar and others tried it first, but I'm not sure I rate 'em.) Then Meat Liquor, Byron, Almost Famous, and Five Guys. Did I miss anyone? Who cares. Step aside folks -- get thee to Get Baked. I've tried the delivery version of these guys recently (and again -- I need to update) and only recently realised that they had just opened up a restaurant. I often walk into town, so I'd seen something going on inside what used to be The Quilted Llama, then soon realised that Get Baked (mrniceguys) were behind this venture too. Funny that I only just wrote in the other review that these guys needed a restaurant... I liked the tongue in cheek nod to Five Guys on their signage ("High Five Guys") and the l337 speak claiming they'd "run out of l3773r5". Before you even enter, neon words promise you "free food tomorrow". It may be huge, looming, and illuminati-esque (and clearly, it's like that on purpose -- the restaurant is in a church, for goodness' sake) but I love the huge neon signage in the window too. The comic print style, black and white wall paper, featuring characters like Felix the cat, Heisenberg, and Hannibal, is cool enough -- although my friend felt it was reminiscent of Meat Liquor's do up. (I can see that.) My absolute favourite bit is the UV paint splattered hallway to the loos, though. It feels really nineties and fits in well, with yet more cool neon signs dotted about. Essentially, I dig the vibe of the place. The only thing that feels jarring is to eat in a room with such a high ceiling, and since the music is so loud and the lighting is so low, it really feels like it should become a night club once the foodening has happened. In fact, I wish it would -- I could burn off the heavenly guilt and get my rave on in an actually well-converted church. (Did you notice that all other church-come-nightclubs are seriously tacky?) And when I say the music was loud, I mean we actually couldn't hear each other -- or the waiters/waitresses -- at one point. It seemed like they recognised this, as it did go up and down before settling on a balane. I couldn't complain about the playlist though; we shazamed about five songs during our visit. Now, let's get to the real talk: burgers. Oh shiiiiiiiit. I want to say that the reason I ceased to talk to my friend was because I couldn't hear him, but once that chicken burger arrived, it was business time. (I mean, I couldn't hear him, but I didn't care, because burger.) I can't remember the name of my choice -- the chicken burger that's a number which is probably a significant joke I'm not quite geeky enough to get? They all have clever names of some kind. Whatever -- it had a big hunk of perfectly fried chicken, in some other-wordly batter, soaked in maple syrup, with American-style crispy bacon. You bet your ass they put it in a brioche bun. Get in my face and don't interrupt me 'til I'm done. Not a word. The chips were great -- I love the seasoning -- and if you're unafeared of calories, do the nacho cheese. I thought it was worth it. Gentlemen's Wit, a Camden brewery beer, was a solid accompaniment and not too strong. Oddly, if you think flavours and food can be gendered, I would say it's actually a bit 'girly', what with the lemon and bergamot. Maybe CB are being ironic somehow? Whatever. I do have to say, though -- lads: You can't be having the Full Girlfriend Experience on your menu and leave nothing for us ladies. Full Boyfriend Experience please! I like bantz as much as the next lass :) Also -- does anyone remember the Leeds band Pigzipper? They're on the menu too! I dig the weird, creepy mannequin man who gives you an egg if you feed him money. All the staff were great. I wish I'd gotten names, as two of the lads were just awesome; kudos to you dancing guy by the desk -- you're amazing. I like a place where the staff clearly have fun. Plenty of banter. Let's go for the roundup: If you're after a really fantastic, American-style burger, I think these guys are the one. I really, really loved the food -- it's all-out, carb-tastic, screw-the-diet delicious. The drinks range was grand, although I didn't even get to the cocktails that time -- can't speak for the soft drinks since I was on the beers that night. The staff are loads of fun. The prices are fine -- it was about £40 for two burgers, two chips, and seven or so beers. I would prefer the music to be less intrusive, but I dig the playlist. I do also wish it became a bar after 11pm or something. Basically, I'll definitely be coming back. Go on in and fill your face.

It's kinda between them and Shake Shack right now. (All right, Get Baked need a mention too.) Why can't I eat these every day? What is the science behind why they taste so good? Who am I, anyway?

If i say they drowned the chips with it would be an understatement. There was a massive selection of soda of which i was impressed with the fact that they had all their versions of the soda you can have in zero version without the sugar. The burgers were good but not great...it was meh, better than what would get in mcdonalds or burger king and they should be with the price they had it. I couldn't stop feeling though that i over payed because of the brand instead of the product. I mean it was a burger, chips and a drink served in a paper bag for almost £11.

Warning: This review contains superlatives…read more I crave moments like this. I unwrapped my burger package with more excitement than a toddler at Christmas; the folded paper wrapping that encases your burger is a delightful hint to the 'true American' style experience you are about to receive. It had been freshly cooked in just the right amount of time to build up my anticipation, but not so much that it began to wane. The mantra in my head, as I grabbed it with both hands, "Don't be disappointing. Don't be disappointing." Perhaps I'm a little bit obsessive when it comes to meat patties. And who can blame me? Leeds has many pretenders to the throne, and I don't think it's melodramatic to say that there may be fewer more disheartening moments than forcing down a burger-dud. Especially when some charge you in excess of a tenner for it. (That's like getting a a face-slap and being asked to say thank you.) Perhaps I am obsessive about this. But, I digress. This. Oh, this. This, friends, is the promised land. Flavour country. Your Huckleberry. Etc. Don't be size-ist -- we all know it's about what you do with it that counts. And what Patty Smith does with hers, no one in Leeds can top. She offers you the softest, squidgiest buns; this beautiful twin of breads perfectly holds everything in place, and soaks the goodness without becoming too soggy. It also happens to taste marvellous and manages not to intrude on the overall experience. You know exactly what I mean. The bun is not stodgy. She offers some amazing new molecular level of cheese that I've not experienced before -- how was it both liquid and solid? And how was that exactly what I wanted, and how did she know? I would do the smokey, sweet, superb sauce an arrest-worthy injustice if I dared try to explain it. Really. She also offers you the juiciest patty known to Yorkshire; she must divulge her secrets to me. It is not so rare that you can see the grass the cows frolicked on, but -- cripes -- it's juicy-good. It's slightly pink, and it is perfect. Devouring with abandon is not an ignoble thing: to eat her patty is to smother your face in delicious burger nectar. Indulge in that dirty juice. It is holier than you, and you are lucky to experience it. You damned hipster. Forget your beard, forget your 'retro' '90s lipstick, forget being scene/seen for a second. (Patty lives in the Belgrave, don't 'cha know.) Just bloody destroy that thing. Get it in you. *Okay, it's just a burger. But I really did get excited.

Five Guys at the White Rose is located in the outside part of the shopping centre in a row of…read morerestaurants opposite the Cineworld Cinema. It's a fairly large location but the interior resembles any Five Guys you'd see, the big bag of potatoes bang in the middle of the floor and the red and white theme. I ordered the Little Cheeseburger in a lettuce wrap with small fries and a fountain drink - for a fast food joint, it is quite pricey with my meal coming to £16.15 - a meal which would have cost half as much at McDonald's, or even less in a more sit down restaurant. After making the staff member aware of my allergy, I was handed an allergen card which showed what I could and could not have, my server still seemed very uncertain and originally asked if I wanted fresh or grilled onions even though the allergen sheet mentioned the grilled options are not advisable for me. That being said, the food was actually pretty good, the fries were a generous portion with the extra scoop in the bag as Five Guys pride themselves in, they were fresh and seasoned well and some of the best fries I've had in a fast food joint, the burger was also good, while I would have liked a proper bun (I'm gluten-free and they don't have gluten-free buns), I liked the idea of a lettuce wrap which is something McDonald's and co don't bother with. The meat was good quality, and the fillings of the burger were also a generous portion. The biggest problem with my meal was the drink - both of the Coca-Cola seemed poorly stocked. I was only able to get one serving of Fuzetea before it was showing unavailable, and my second choice drink of a Sprite also wasn't possible either. I felt annoyed paying £4+ for a refillable drink with many of the options not being possible. That being said, the food is good, albeit at a premium. quite a few good points but also points that require improving. 3*

The flavor and smokiness of the meats was spot on, and passed the "no sauce" test easily. All meats had a good smoke rinThe ribs were my favorite, followed by the chicken. The breast was tender and juicy, no dry at all. The brisket was satisfactory, good flavor, but I like it a bit fattier than what was put out. That's a very tough cut to get perfect, but it was perfectly edible as is. The sauces were god; complimented the meats well. This misses one star for the slaw. It is a Carolina style sweet & sour, but it wasn't quite sweet & sour enough. I applied some NC vinegar based bbq sauce, which improved it a lot. The staff was efficient and very pleasant, and provided great information about the food and restaurant. I'd come back, and will state for the record that this is true American style Smoked BBQ.
