Five Guys are nice but the price for what it is, is ridiculous. Not worth it at all.

The one in Craigavon will be closed within 18 months, I guarantee it. The amount of people I have seen that have went once and then say never again at the prices. They will not get repeat custom.
Aye if people want a burger that badly they'll hit McDs across the road for less than half the price. I've been past it a few times and there have only been a few people in it.

I brought the kids into it last Friday night and it cost me £15 for 3 milk shakes...That's the end of that, ridiculous prices for a product that had that much sugar in it was shocking. No doubt it will close...

It is a rip odd but will it close? I know county people don't like spending money but the burger is not bad..

My daughter will go with friends and they order a chip and a drink between them and get a burger. Still over the odds but a Signature burger meal in McDee's is over 7 quid!
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

Chips in 5 Guys are delish as well. Done in peanut oil. The price is crazy but it is a cut above the most flavour wise. Nice for a once in a while treat, Brought the Mrs in once for a quick bite to eat and when she saw the reciept I had to stop her from trying to bring it back  ;D

I don't get the hype about Five Guys chips. Eat one and your mouth feels like a desert.

Five guys prices are a joke, and I see they are opening another one on Boucher rd so there must be enough mugs out there

Five guys burgers are a disgrace.  Your bun is soaked in grease.  Then the prices!  Unreal for a burger. 

Would take a McDonalds over Five guys any day of the week.

What are the prices guys, I've never been but judging by the comments they must be bad.

I did look online but cunningly the menu didn't have prices

The burgers in mcdonalds are actually not that bad and probably better than 5 guys in my view.

I don't remember getting much change out of 15 quid the one time I was there but I was never back. (I think that was a drink and chips too). That was probably over a year ago so likely dearer now.

The Signature Classic in McDonald's is a fine burger.
Never been to 5 Guys.

I only ever ate in Five Guys in America and thought their burgers and chips was better than the likes of Burger king or McDonalds and prices was reasonable enough.

+1.

Signature classic is chunky enough to be considered a proper burger.

I remember going about two years ago and got a burger, fries & a drink and it was a very competitive £14

Five Guys prices (UK). Guts of 15 quid for a cheeseburger, regular fries and a drink.

equivalent here - bacon cheeseburger, regular fries and drink would be $15 - or just under 9 quid.

A&W would be my go-to fast food burger place here - their Beyond Meat (plant based) burger is pretty good.

I'd be keen to try one of these substitute burgers. I remember listening to a radio programme a few years ago where someone was trying to simulate meat using plants with beetroot juice as the "bleed".

I believe Iceland sell those over there  - No Bull Burgers I believe they are called
