I've heard good things about it so hopefully it will hold up well.
Pretty much decided on going there tomorrow and I'll definitely post up my thoughts
I didn't take that picture guys lol.
It probably shouldn't be counted as a burger as I did have to eat it with a knife and fork but it's sold as a burger so, you know... Definitely worth checking out though, very tasty. Actually, whilst on the subject of eating a burger with a knife and fork; what is your opinion on people who cut burgers in half? I call them quitters.

I was very impressed
I went to GBK in Milton Keynes tonight. It was alright.
I had the Habanero burger, was just like a burger with hot sauce. Couldn't taste much else.
Bun held up though and was easy to eat with hands.
The skinny fries really are too skinny though and there wasn't much flavour from the rosemary.
No great desire to go back.

We also have a Grillstock serving that massive burger.
For a Byron Le Smokie is the way forward. Going to try and get to five guys in the next week or so but judging from the posts here it seems pretty average.

For massive burgers you just eat them like separate burgers, grab top half, eat bottom half.
If your in Truro again goto Hubbox they won best burger in the country this year so its worth trying out i've had it many times its very very good.

had my first 5 guys today in milton keynes.
I just had a small cheeseburger, chips and a drink, £10.75?? crazy price thats for sure.
Foodwise, i mean its better than maccy d's, better than burger king i think but thats where it ends. Its no Byron and its nothing like any others like patty and bun etc.
The meat was fairly bland if eaten alone, the chips were nice, i got a cup full and about another cupful thrown into the bag which was needed to fill me up.
If one cupful is standard, and it cost £10,75 then that will be the last time i eat there i am afraid to say as much as i like my burgers theres no way thats value.

While I do love an over-the-top gourmet burger, I think Five Guys fills the "gap" nicely. Yes, it is expensive but it is very good compared to McDonalds/BK et al, and while not as good as some of the restaurant-style burger places it doesn't demand that you treat it like a restaurant so you can just pop in and eat/takeaway without any faffing around.
Easily my favourite fast food place now, even if the expense does mean it isn't a regular haunt.

I've had burgers where the burger itself tasted fantastic. steakandhonour are a local food park van(s) which uses locally sourced grass fed longhorn chuck, and you really can taste the difference in the beef.

I agree - I'm trying to massively cut down on the amount of fast/junk food I eat (which isn't a lot, but it can definitely be reduced) and I think a Five Guys once a month would be "about right".

If you can't pick it up and bite it from bun to bun then it's not a burger.
Went to the best rated burger place in Stockholm - Barrels burgers and beer. it's good but a touch more salty than I liked.

When I Sweden I noticed that it was pretty normal to have much more salt in pretty much all the food compared to over here.
