12/15/2018: I have bumbled throughout London riding the Red Double-Decker Buses climbing up to the second floor, sitting up front taking photos of what would be considered as interesting sites visiting-next time . . . The review I wrote about St. Pancras Station where FIVE GUYS caught my visual POV; however, I don't remember recalling mentioning FIVE GUYS-did I? Anyway, I stood at Bus #45's King's Cross St. Pancras bus stop heading back to Elephant & Castle after perusing throughout King's Cross and St. Pancras Train Stations with my mouth hanging ajar wondering is THAT the same FIVE GUYS . . . THE hamburger stand by that mall I visited . . . The SAME FIVE GUYS located at Westfield Mall on the OUTSIDE perimeter in Culver City, California I visited with my dear friend, Vida Ghaffari who introduced me to FIVE GUYS????? Oh-no waaaay! WAAAAAY! Freaking out, I slowly entered FIVE GUYS and the interior looks EXACTLY like all the FIVE GUYS I've visited in California: Whoa~I feel like I'm in California rather than skulking around London where it has been dark, dreary, raining . . . Is this a "Transporter" purposefully placed at King's Cross St. Pancras? Inside FIVE GUYS, the interior is bright and appealingly cheery. I order my burger and fries combo waiting about ten minutes observing my burger being freshly made, cooking on the grill . . . No frozen burger patties! I receive my meal, hunting for a vacant table . . . Truthfully, the place is jam-packed: Eureka~There's a table by the doorway! It's time addressing the burger I ordered: Chowing down my burger like the male Expat sitting across from my table, he's wolfing his burger down-he's going for broke . . . Now, onto wolfing a second burger! Whoa, Dude~Slow down, Man!!!!! Whereas, I'm slowly savoring every bite of my moist burger and enjoying the flavorful, Cajun-spiced, French fries: Both were cooked to perfection, just like the FIVE GUYS located throughout California I've visited! Oh, yeahhhhhh~Slowly inhaling every morsel. read more

One of the few American chain restaurants that actually tastes like how it does in America!!! this location is busy, so the burgers and fries are always fresh. This will now be my default place to come to when I'm craving an American burger. Do yourself a favor and get the bacon cheeseburger with a side of Cajun fries. :D read more

Traditional American greasiness never fails a lonely heart. This place is classic, and classically American. Yes. Spot on London 5 guys! read more

Five Guys - Burgers Near Me - London, XGL

Whilst writing Five Guys last opening in London is in Kings Cross, just below the historic lighthouse there. A fantastic refurbishment of the building, being in the corner it has a fantastic 270 degree view of Kings Cross with its wall to ceiling Windows. It was pretty cool watching hungry commuters watch us demolish our burger whilst munching on chips in between each bite. The place was pretty big, bright lighting with the typical red and white theme. Tables varied from group bench seating to high tables and tools. It was very well staffed. The only I complain about is the music which was way too loud for anyone to hear what the next person opposite you is saying. Apart from that I loved the vibe. Like any Five Guys they had the Coca cola freestyle drink machine and unlimited complimentary salted monkey nuts for you to get started on. The later was incredibly moreish, salty and crunchy. I even took a bag full home as I took way too much in the first place. Cheeseburger (all in) So what if it's not a fantastic patty as its that beautifully soft fluffy sesame bun filled with all the toppings giving it that burst of flavour and variety in texture. I went all in of course and it was the lovely juicy mushrooms, grilled onions and pickles that made this burger unstoppable. The patty was a bit like McDonald's, lacking flavour but it was still juicy and with the standard two patties in there. Cheese could have bad melted a bit more but all in all I was satisfied. Bacon cheese hotdog (all in) There was something about the sweetness and the firm bouncy texture of the frankfurter in the hotdog that made this its world of its own. Even eating this after the burger it felt refreshing. The frankfurter definitely had more a pronounced then the beef patty and the added salty crispy bacon, cheese, pickle and mushroom gave it more umami. The bun was slightly more firm then the burger bun which I didn't enjoy as much. Large Cajun chips Very moreish being immersed in Cajun spice giving it that lovely smokey, sweet spicy paprika flavour. It was soft, limpy, fluffy with skin on which gave the fries the nice contrast in texture too. I love the new Five Guys with a big factor being its convenient location. Still won't put in the same ranking against Patty & Bun or Honest Burger where they focus more on the patty but this place has the fun factor and the atmosphere with its unique temptations like free fillings, Coca Cola freestyle drink machine and the unlimited nuts. It was anything less I would not pay £8.00 for a standard cheeseburger. But giving what it was I thoroughly enjoyed and see myself returning again and again. read more

Good food good price. Had great customer service from Jamele and Leshanta. Burger was nice.

When Five Guys first landed in London, I was pretty jazzed. But then, meh. It was always fine but the fries are always ridiculously salty, and the food generally was a bit greasy and I eventually pretty much gave up on it. But I was having a burger craving and not a lot of time, and this new branch of Five Guys is near to my office, so I gave it another shot. It's a large place, and because it's on the corner it's bright and airy. My order was taken quickly by a friendly cashier but the wait to get my food (just a little cheeseburger) was long - over 10 minutes. I at least had my drink from the Coke Freestyle machine to keep me occupied. So I finally go and sit down and tuck in and you know what? It was actually really good. Everything was fresh, it wasn't dry but not too greasy, and my chosen toppings were put on in an even distribution and not OTT. Maybe the staff here are new and following all the procedures so it's better? Or maybe they're busy but not slammed so care is taken but the turnover is still high enough to have everything be fresh? All I know is that I'm converted, and next time I want a burger at lunch, I know where to go. read more

Good portion size of french fries. Soda machines offer a wide variety of sodas i have never seen in stores. Five Guys has lovely old school american diner ambience. The double bacon cheese burger has just enough bacon and cheese, as well as what tastes like grandmas home grilled burger patties. Not to mention you pick your own toppings and ingredients. read more

In my check-in I said that Five Guys was a bit like Wimpy but insanely more expensive. I stand by that. It kinda is, and you'll know what I mean if you're an 80s kid... You place your order and queue up while your burger and fries are cooked in front of you. The immediate shock is the price. £8-odd for a bacon cheeseburger at first seems excessive but it's only when you get your burger that you discover it is in fact a juicy double. Ditto the fries at around £4, where you get a large cup with another shovel full on top thrown into your bag - way more than you get elsewhere. Despite the immediate pricing shocker and wallet hit, I was really impressed. Based on this experience, Five Guys is way better than other popular chains. The burger was delicious as were the fries and milkshake. Properly nice! When ordering your burger you also get to choose from 15 free additional burger toppings; which is a really nice touch, so you can guarantee your burger is fresh. I went for onions, mushrooms and ketchup - for what it's worth. The only thing that prevents this being a 5-star experience is the price and perhaps the slightly unclear menu / ordering system. Everything else was spot on. read more

This place is constantly popping off! They are IT. I'm from the U.S. so I'm very familiar with Five Guys, but I swear it's better here. The quality of meat and the potatoes here don't compare to back home. Service is great, place is always clean. It's like my home away from home ily read more

I hated the idea of going to a burger shop that I have quite literally down the street back home but it did not disappoint. I was pleasantly surprised that it was as close to home as it was. Fries, sorry, chips were on point and the burger was as american as you could get. Definitely worth a try! read more

just like home. Burgers in the UK usually taste different. this was spot on. if you are from the states and want a taste of America, go here. read more

I will probably do another review when I can get to revisit this place, however, as my first experience of Five Guys I thought I should do a review. Ordering was a little slow as the place was packed (Friday night munchies lol) but once at the desk the server was super polite and answered any questions I had with a smile. For other newbies you basically have a list of burgers, hot dogs and sandwiches you can order from. All start naked and you add toppings from a list at the bottom of the menu board. It's also good to know all hot dogs and burgers can be ordered bun-less or with a lettuce wrap (protein lovers delight). I ordered a Bacon Cheeseburger with mayo, lettuce, pickles and grilled onions. Then added regular Cajun fries to it. Paid and then waited for my order number to be called. The order took about 10 mins to surface and I collected and left to go to another place to meet friends. It was on opening the burger I realised there was no bacon in it (too late to go back now) but all other toppings were there and it was delicious. The fries were so tasty and the seasoning added that extra little something. All in all, a great experience (would have been better with bacon lol). Will definitely visit again :) read more

Music is so loud the guy taking our order couldn't even hear us! Burgers were ok but not outstanding!

Overall good burgers, fresh ingredients. I have been there few times. French fries sometimes too dry
