The restaurant itself is bright and clean with plenty of seats and tables with places for children.

The food is usually always fresh and hot.

Take a seat and get your table number, study the menu and then go up to the till ('register' in American) to place your order and pay for it. When it's ready, someone brings it to your table. The chicken is excellent. Several varieties of spice levels, ranging from Extra Hot, Medium and Lemon & Herb or Mango & Lime. I particularly enjoy the Medium, which I find just at the top level of my tolerance for spiciness. They offer the chicken in pieces - quarter, half or whole - as well as a variety of wraps, burgers and pitas. If you're not a meat-eater, they have Portobello mushroom, veggie and bean options. Sides. Oh, the sides! Almost good enough by themselves - I usually go with the corn on the cob, mashed potatoes or coleslaw, but the mashed peas and spicy rice might be more to your liking. I've not tried the desserts, but the ice creams and assorted cakes look good when I see others partaking. Drinks are unusual for a UK restaurant. Yes, they have single bottled beers and poured juices, but there's also a self-serve soda fountain. Free refills. How American! Outside tables for when the weather is better.

This place is on the top floor of inside the oracle just near House of Fraser. The crowd of people…read moremade me think it was great but I am really not impressed with this place especially since i came in with high expectations. I've heard that five guys was good while I was in the states but never had the chance to try them out. I did have In N Out burger often (which this place is very similar to in terms of style and serving and the limited menu which consists of burgers, cheeseburgers and bacon burgers) The difference here mainly is that you can add on a bunch of different toppings like grilled mushroom etc-(I'll post the menu) and that they have sandwiches and no delicious shakes or root beer. So I ordered and was excited about having my burger stuffed with deliciously grilled mushroom and onion, lettuce, pickles and tomato. I got the small sized burger which is essentially the same size but with a single meat patty. If I didn't ask I would have assumed they were kid size burgers. However, I was pretty disappointed with the result (photo posted) The tomato was green-which is a personal pet peeve. I need my tomatoes to be always be a rich red. There were only a few scraps of lettuce and the mushrooms lacked the meaty and grilled goodness that they should have. I wish the onions were cut thinner and caramelised properly too. They also don't ask how you would like your meat (mine was medium well from what I could see)however the meat was probably the only tasty part of the burger so I almost wished I ordered it without the bread which you can do. The bun really wasn't special and didn't taste fresh. Okay-so the chips were nice.They also post where they got their potatoes from on a board every day. They are big and chunky and you get a lot but was it worth 2.75? Not sure. There was a bit too much salt for my taste and I like them slightly crispier which these are bit on the soft side. I need to try the new shake shack in covent garden to compare how this place holds up but I have a feeling it will be much much nicer. If you're looking for a good burger in reading you're probably better off going somewhere else outside of reading since I don't know a place here with excellent burgers yet. Maybe if byron burger opens up or gourmet burger co. Although the one I wish will open here is Stacked burger which I had while I was in the states. The most delicious burgers Ive ever had. You can build your own burger on ipads on your seat and the variety is amazing. I miss it more now! So yah- you can get much nicer meals for the price (7.50 for one patty hamburger and little fries without a drink)

I was really craving a burger tonight and had passed by the Five Guys at the Oracle a few times and…read morethought I'd try it out. I've had it a few times in the states and have always enjoyed it so I was looking forward to a similar experience at the Reading location. I walked up to the counter and the lady who took my order was very friendly. I'm picky about what goes on my burger and she got everything right. I sat at the bar stools which overlook the river and shops/restaurants below, nice view and great for people-watching. Here's where the experience started to go downhill a bit. The lady behind the counter mentioned that they would call my number once my food was ready, but the music was blasting so I couldn't hear them. One of the six or so staff members standing around idly could have easily walked it over to me (there were about 10 other people in the restaurant and I was the only one without food so pretty obvious it was mine). I can kind of overlook this though, guess it's half my fault for not paying more attention. By the time I finally walked over and got my meal, it was a bit lukewarm. The portion sizes are good, I got the "little" burger and "little" fries and both were pretty hefty. The burger was really tasty, had no issues with it, same as I remembered. The fries were pretty limp, which was disappointing. My whole meal came out to £10 (drink included). Overall I was satisfied, but probably wouldn't come back to dine in with the annoyingly loud music. Good burger though, I might get just the burger (hold the fries) to-go in the future.
