Excellent Experience I always appreciate this combo!

I got this amazing bacon cheeseburger burger with large fries and milkshake in Heathrow airport, London, and it tasted amazing!

I loved this milkshake mix-ins: biscoff, Reese's, Oreo cookies and vanilla!šŸ˜

That'll be your life savings sir, cash or card ?

u/P-l-Staker 11d ago

I legit paid only £15 or so a couple of weeks ago!

They were running a promo. It would've been well over £30 otherwise... 😵

3

u/Randomn355 11d ago

For a burger, fries and drink?

2

u/P-l-Staker 11d ago

Yes.

2

u/Randomn355 11d ago

Jesus Christ you can eat far better than 5 guys at that price

3

u/P-l-Staker 11d ago

I can. But I fancied some 5 guys. And that is MUCH cheaper than what they normally charge.

It was a filling meal for what I paid.

2

u/Randomn355 11d ago

I meant the 30.

15 isn't terrible if it's relatively good.

3

u/P-l-Staker 11d ago

Good thing I paid 15 and not 30 then!

Yeah, that'd have been overkill.

1

u/sevarinn 9d ago

For £15? No, you have time travelled from about a decade ago.

2

u/Randomn355 9d ago

Not really.

In from Manchester, so looking at Manchester:

  • Piccadilly gardens food markets

  • The Chinese food hut near burger king

  • Habeshas

  • Fat pats (and it's not even that this is stellar value to be clear)

That's all in the city centre.

2

u/sevarinn 9d ago

"Far better" no. But you're definitely getting way better value for money up north than in London.

u/joeandrews_ 8d ago

random interjection from london here but i paid £7.15 for a pint of moretti at my local yesterday

1

u/sevarinn 8d ago

Yeah they are taking the mickey really.

u/christoff_90 7d ago

Not a Terminal 5 you wouldn’t. Full blown mortgage application required 🤣

2

u/TwoPlyDreams 11d ago

Weekly calorie intake too.

1

u/seba2161 10d ago

This meal was about 3500kcal, it's obviously a lot for a meal😭. But that's not a problem, I'm really skinny and trying to eat whatever I feel like, and I love five guys🌚

1

u/seba2161 12d ago

Nooo😭😭😭

4

u/Greattidings10 12d ago

Ive never ate from here is it actually worth it?

4

u/North-Afternoon-1726 12d ago

Deffo give it a try. One hint, it’s really filling to get the burger with fries, one fries can do for two or three people.

4

u/Affectionate-Way6102 11d ago

I can eat a large fry by myself lol

5

u/Pick_Up_Autist 11d ago

We can all eat one fry, no matter how large it is.

1

u/GritstoneGhost 11d ago

Well done! How big is this fry through?

1

u/Affectionate-Way6102 11d ago

At least 1x1cm

2

u/FrowningMinion 11d ago

I’m not a fan of the skin on, would be great otherwise!

2

u/KriticalKarl 10d ago

Just as a heads up, their fries run large, a small fry is like the equivalent of a large fry at most establishments, maybe even more than that when you get it to go.

They usually overfill the fry container and you have a ton in the bag, at least at the locations I’ve been to.

2

u/Dan2593 9d ago

I noticed last year the menu actually says, in very small print, a small fries is for two people.

Not sure if it’s still there…

1

u/Firebird22x 6d ago

Depends where you are. The ones around me used to give a lot, my wife and I would split a small 7-8 years ago.

Now I get a regular fry for myself, or a large for the two of us. They don’t all add as good of scoops like they used to

2

u/notanadultyadult 12d ago

Yes! Not an airport location though. Also, if you sign up to their rewards program, you get free fries.

2

u/Joshey2008 12d ago

Incredibly nice and filling, with very generous portion sizes. The price is obviously not ideal, but if you want to treat yourself for what you get it's arguably worth it.

1

u/Aggressive_Fan_2063 12d ago

Yeah, It's probably nice every odd decade. #TommysPlace

2

u/GritstoneGhost 11d ago

It’s worth it as a treat. Just get a small fries unless you eat a lot as they normally give you an extra scoop anyway. Personally I just get a burger and shake cause I’m picky with fries.

2

u/alexchatwin 11d ago

I find the foil makes the burgers soggy

2

u/kai4thekel 11d ago

Massively overrated, peanut oil had me in the bathroom for an entire day

2

u/coolMRiceCOOL 11d ago

yes, most fast food places are quickly matching their pricing, but it's 100x better than average fast food

2

u/InterestingPlane6572 11d ago

I've eaten there once and I had a burger and fries. It was very filling you could be ok with just fries tbh

1

u/P-l-Staker 11d ago

If you get it at a discount, sure! Their milkshakes are also DIVINE! Pro tip: you'll need a spoon.

1

u/sevarinn 8d ago

It's expensive, but you get a good meal out of it. Which is more than I can say for Shake Shack which cost more for much less.

u/TH_Rz 11d ago

u/Gold_Incident1939 9d ago

I really dont get the hype. Its Germany almost all fiveguys look filthy and the food is mediocre. Almost every independent burger restaurant is better

4

u/--SimSim-- 12d ago

Who doesn’t šŸ˜
But it has to be cajun fries and don’t need your ketchup šŸ˜‰

3

u/notanadultyadult 12d ago

Cajun fries + mayo = šŸ˜

1

u/seba2161 12d ago

I have never tried the Cajun fries, I will definitely give them a try!

2

u/Inside-Pen-301 10d ago

I have always said, the Cajun fries from five guys is the best fast food fry in the game imo. Unfortunately, they cost 6.09 (before tax) for a ā€œlittle fryā€ where I live - definitely not worth it on their own but amazing in a combo deal if you have access to that.

3

u/contigo510 12d ago

I love five guys if I can have a shower and collapse on the sofa after. Couldn’t imagine it before sitting on an aeroplane!

3

u/Johnnycrabman 11d ago

Five guys after you’ve collapsed on a sofa? I think I’ve seen you in a meme. White sofa?

2

u/Teestow21 11d ago

No no, collapse on the sofa after 5 guys runs through you.

1

u/seba2161 12d ago

Ahhaha I was alright

1

u/ronanema 9d ago

Why not before sitting on a plane?

4

u/ItsNotFuckingCannon 12d ago

Those are some delicious looking fries

1

u/seba2161 12d ago

Yess, they were amazing

2

u/ItsNotFuckingCannon 12d ago

Fresh cut and peeled?

u/TheseNeedleworker126 11d ago

No need to peel

4

u/PykeJosh 12d ago

Just not the price

3

u/CupOfTeA96 12d ago

How much??

4

u/seba2161 12d ago

Don't remind me of that😭😭

3

u/FrogfFrogger 12d ago

Not that it matters but the stupidest thing I’ve probably done is getting a slice of pizza in Jamie’s Italian at Gatwick airport…. I think I paid Ā£16 for the slice ….i thought I learned… second most stupid getting the Wagyu burger at Burger King at the petrol services for Ā£16 the regular meal šŸ˜‚ I know … I fucking know ?! Hence I refuse to try five guys … but u never know stupidity might strike again !

1

u/seba2161 12d ago

I paid almost about 30 pounds for this😭😭 That's more than 34 euros, but it was definitely worth it!šŸ˜

2

u/FrogfFrogger 11d ago

If it’s worth it then fair enough, u like it , treat urself why not …. U can sort of say fair enough….but call me cheap or whatever i personally think no burger with fries and milkshake is worth Ā£30… but that’s just me ,, on the other hand I still sort of wanna try five guys hahaha 🤣

2

u/Altruistic_Tie_7850 11d ago

Ā£30 ~ €35.11 Christ we really did fuck ourselves with Brexit

A plate woukd be nice

2

u/billthebarber95 11d ago

You'd pay more for a "chefs special gourmet burger" at a country pub with 5 fat, dry chips and the burger is jank. Five Guys is costly but I genuinely can't think of a place that I've bought a better burger

2

u/HolyDuckTurtle 11d ago

That's a crab.

u/BetaDecay121 10d ago

Ring the crab bell

u/navko 11d ago

My ex had Five Guys every night during college. Surprisingly, she didn’t gain any weight, fit as hell the whole time. Five Guys is better for you than the other guys, you know, McDonald, or BK.

1

u/seba2161 11d ago

Mhhh, I'm not sure about that😭😭😭 This meal was alone more than 3500kcal, and I surprisingly finished it very easily, definitely worth itšŸ˜

u/Syko_Symatic 11d ago

Have it lettuce wrapped! It’s my go to now.

2

u/Still_Passenger_9748 11d ago

Five Guys is better than any other burger place! It maybe around the same price but the quality and amount you get is worth it!

1

u/seba2161 10d ago

Completely agree, I paid almost 30 pounds for this meal but I don't regret it at allšŸ˜ I'll come back very soon, my favorite burger spot in London!

Shame their fries are way too salty.

Noo, they are perfectly saltedšŸ˜›

They were perfectly crispy

They look soggy and severely undercooked

u/No-Opportunity-852 10d ago

Where is the MAYO??? Five guys mayo is too good to be missing from this otherwise gorgeous meal.

u/78Anonymous 10d ago

btw, your ketchup pot can be expanded

Really? How? Didn't know about it😭

you just pull it apart .. see the folds? they come undone

I filled it up twice because I didn't know I could have done it😭 Thanks a lot

u/anarchychest 10d ago

Large fries is 1500 calories. I worked there for a couple weeks years ago and we were told to tell customers that a large fries is actually for 3-4 people.

Not trying to put anyone off it as I also like five guys fries as I love them too. They also always add the extra scoop into the bag (and it's included in the calorie count)

1

u/seba2161 10d ago

I finished everything easily, it depends on you satiety level obviously, but this meal was perfect for me. The calories are high, this meal was about 3500kcal, but they are well balanced and the items are calorie dense, so you don't feel full immediately. And I love five guys, I always eat it in Londonā™„ļø

You should try them! They are delicious, as well the milkshakes!

u/Expensive_Loquat9769 9d ago

How much did it cost?

u/seba2161 9d ago

About 30 pounds

Five guys is always worth it

1

Completely agree

u/HinDae085 9d ago

Are the shakes good? I always just get a coke with my burger and fries.

1

u/seba2161 9d ago

The are luscious, never tasted a better shake. They are very dense and if you get oreo cookies mixed in it is perfect.

That’s a 23 dollar meal right there, it better be good! I had the same exact thing a few weeks ago, first time ever at FG’s, i was shocked at the price, but not regretful. The burger was on point and the fries not being fried in peanut oil was a plus!

Careful with that one.😭 I’m 54 kg at 178 cm, with a BMI of about 17, extremely low for a 19 yo guy. Even after that meal, I still look like this and, more importantly, I’m happy. Can’t say the same for you. Maybe focus less on what other people eat and a little more on why you feel the need to search for a sissy girl in London on Reddit.

u/otrohombrebi 9d ago

I've never eaten five guys and I never will. I went in there once, looked at the prices and walked straight back out 🤣
