Five Guys

Our first night in cologne and I was struggling to find somewhere to cater GF. Found 5 guys which I know their burgers are GF in the UK. The lovely server was really helpful and guided me through the menu. I had a burger bowel. Double patties with cheese and salad with added mushrooms and onions. It hit the spot and I really enjoyed it. Not perfect as a bun would have been better with it but we needed to eat and it hit the spot. Didn’t manage photos as we were too hungry 🤣

You have to request an allergy-friendly order: And you get a burger, but instead of a bun, you get it in lettuce. They clean the entire work surface beforehand, and one person prepares the burger to avoid contamination. Only fries (chopped potatoes) are made in the fryer, so it's also safe.

So far, we've always had good experiences.

Helpful staff, knew about allergens and made sure the area was cleaned and gloves swapped. Manager Made sure I was looked after and said any issues come straight to them.

Standard burger in lettuce wrap and Cajun fries.

Don’t have the mayo, or any grilled mushrooms or onions!

As with all Five Guys (that I have visited anyway), fries are in their own fryer, buns are grilled separately on their own grill, and the rest is gluten free. There are no gluten free buns, but burgers can be served on their own or in a lettuce wrap.

They were very helpful and checked my information card. Had a lovely cheeseburger with bacon and mayo in iceberg lettuce. Surfaces were cleaned down before it was prepared

They were so careful while preparing my food. The condiments were packaged separately and my order was delivered ahead of the others. Both the person taking my order and the manager were on top of things! The manager even came to my table to check on me. Great service!!
