This branch of Five Guys on Queens Square is one of two branches Five Guys have in the city, from the outside you can see it looks both bigger and better than the other branch on the top floor of the Liverpool One nearby, Having wanted to revisit Five Guys for a while after a good experience in Bradford and a not so good experience in Manchester, I thought this branch of Five Guys would be a good shout - and I'm glad I did. The service here was fantastic, to the point where I feel extra and special praise has to go to Gary for making my visit even more special, he made sure I was okay, helping with tables and even bringing my food over to me and providing me with a new bag and cutterly to take home my leftovers (the portion sizes here are huge!), he also helped offer recommendations and we began to chat a little, overall service was excellent. When ordering, I was also presented with a little piece of card to show what I could eat, and it seemed to include everything other than an HP sauce and of course the burger bun. The overall feel of the store was good, it had traditional Five Guys decor with the signs and bags of potatoes on the shop floor, but inside it did seem much nicer than the Manchester Arndale and Bradford branches I've previously visited. I ordered a Cheeseburger in a bowl, having disliked the lettuce wrap option as it seemed like it would be messy and make the burger cold, and the regular option with a bun wouldn't be suitable for me, the bowl did seem a little squashed and messy with a low of toppings, however, like all the cups/cutterly etc it was aimed towards takeout. The extras I ordered were: ketchup, lettuce, tomatoes, gherkins, grilled onions and grilled mushrooms, in my opinion, it was slightly messy but still most of it was good quality, other than the lettuce I found to be a little watery and the mushrooms a little slimy. My overall burger quality was good, although it could have been slightly presented better to avoid the cheese being slightly uneven, the portion size as mentioned was good with two thinner burgers rather than one big thick one, which some burger joints such as GBK use, I prefer the Five Guys approach. The fries also were great, despite ordering a small portion my bag was overflowing with fries, the cajun spices also added a nice flavour to it to make them even better, rather than the traditional seasoning used. The Coca-Cola Freestyle machine also is a pretty awesome, niche feature combining some of the most common Coca-Cola drinks from Coke (including all low sugar models) to Sprite to Fuze Tea, with my favourite fizzy drink being Sprite Zero, I combined this with vanilla to have an enjoyable beverage, I then combined vanilla with the fuze tea and also had a nice drink - for one cup it comes with free refills and with the quality of drinks on offer and the selection meaning you virtually can't get these drinks in any other stores or places, it is well worth buying a drink, and that comes from someone who generally prefers dining with tap water. Prices were slightly higher than you'd expect at Mcdonald's, and on par for a standard burger, my food came to around £11 but for the quality you don't mind paying those prices, this place is more of a fast-food restaurant than a casual or regular dining restaurant, although it does have quite a lot of seating due to the size of the store being large, slightly similar to what one would expect in an American diner, with tall tables, bar style tables and red booths. Five Guys also delivers via Deliveroo, however I find this service to be a tad overpriced compared to the general in-store experience, although out of all the restaurants on the site from Nandos to Pizza Express, I feel one of the few places actually suited to Deliveroo is Five Guys, so it is a good service to offer here, although the only time I'd ever think of using it would be when I'm staying in a hotel in Liverpool, not being from the area, and even then I'd be reluctant due to the delivery charge even to go such a short distance, for example they'd even charge the £2.50 or so delivery fee to go a short distance, although I admit this is not something Five Guys have control over with this being set by Deliveroo but it is still worth making note of. Overall, I am impressed with Five Guys, although it remains a real shame that unlike some "restaurants" which specialise in burgers including Handmade Burger Co and Gourmet Burger Kitchen, the latter actually has a branch in Liverpool's city centre in the One, the burger quality remains better and the same can be said about the service and the overall feel of this place, so despite flaws mentioned, the quality of food and service and the portion sizes (you probably get as many chips here as a large somewhere else) a four-star rating is surely warranted for Five Guys at Queens Square in Liverpool. read more

Great service, friendly staff! Five Guys food always good! Close to center of town and next to bus stop.

Whatever way you cut it, Five Guys is not a cheap eat. You are looking around 9 quid for a burger. But you get to add as many toppings as you want. They also serve beer, which puts it a cut above some of the alternatives. So, after a few beers I find myself with an order of a 'dog' and a burger, with a beer, for £17.75 Was it worth it? Yes. This is as close as it gets to proper American burgers you'll find in the UK. I would definitely say go for a burger over the dog though. My topping recommendations are ketchup, mustard, grilled onion's and hot sauce. It's quick as well, no fuss fast food style. Plus the open kitchen means you can watch your food being made as you wait. read more

Trust me, I'm an American.... Five Guys is the best burger experience anywhere, even Liverpool! I stopped in to have a bacon cheeseburger and a banana shake, just what I order when I go to my local Five Guys in the States. The Liverpool store serves with the same, if not a tad better, quality than back home. What a delight to have a taste of home after being away. Don't bother with the Golden Arches or the King Of Burger... go to Five Guys and get a proper meal. read more

Five Guys - Burgers Near Me - Liverpool, XMS

American diner as tasty and authentic as they come! Crash landed in Liverpool, this quirky American themed fast food restaurant sits in the prime location at the Queen's Square bus station, where the Rat&Parrot has sat derelict for years. On entering the restaurant, make sure you know what you are ordering. It's very simple: burger or hot dog, fries (not chips) and a drink or milkshake. Then you add your free extras from a carefully selected list of free toppings. I went for the cheese burger with relish and mushrooms, then small fries and a drink. You then wait for your order while about 15 workers scramble about in an organised chaos to make these burger. My first thoughts were - this is going to be a disaster. But I was mistaken. It was awesome. I waited about 3 minutes for my self created burger to be handed to me in their iconic brown bag. I then went to the touch-screen drink dispenser(free refills) which to my astonishment had every fizzy and non-fizzy drink I never even imagined. They must import them. It was like Charlie and the Fizzy Pop factory. I got Diet Coke Vanilla. I've never seen that before. When we found a table I ripped open my brown paper bag, unwrapped my burger and that when the clouds of heaven opened. Juicy double patty cheese dripping heaven. It could be the new best burger in Liverpool. Seriously. Gorgeous. I got the small fries which were the equivalent of a super-sized Macdonalds- no complaints there. Good chips. Fries. They're also fried in peanut oil. So nut allergies beware, it's worth the epi-pen.. My only mistake was to not get a milkshake. The milkshakes have their own American woman who makes them. And they look awesome. I saw a few quivering faces after their first sip across the restaurant. Next time I promise. A bit more expensive than your normal fast food takeaway, but this place is far from normal. Top notch quality systems evidently in place. I will be back. Every day. Breakfast. Lunch. Tea. And Tea2. read more

Burgers are immense sadly the fries in my opinion let it down as do the lack of table sauces no mayonnaise etc just ketchup for the fries. Come on five guys lets have a wider selection of dipping sauces please read more
