Felt very confident at Five Guys they explained the whole process to me on how they where going to prepare my food and being able to watch the whole process from the counter gave me confidence also the lady that served me couldn’t have been more patient with all of my questions.

Burgers served in crispy lettuce, fries cooked separately and my meal was prepared away from others. Very impressed with the knowledge and understanding of cross contamination.

Clear allergen label, most of the main menu is GF except for the buns and some of the fried toppings.

Very aware of allergens. They have an allergy menu at the till you can check. The chips, burger patty, and hotdog are gluten free but the buns aren’t. You can get bunless with toppings and have it and a burger bowl instead. (Not all toppings are gf so double check them)
They also have a warning to alert staff to allergies so they’ll be extra careful with your order.
Didn’t think I could miss getting overpriced takeaway chips so much but here we are.

All burgers are cooked on a dedicated grill so no gluten touches them, all the fries are in dedicated fryers and the staff are very knowledgeable. The Grilled toppings aren't coeliac safe as they're done on the same grill as the buns, but the staff warned us of this when we ordered.
No GF bread or buns are available but the burgers can be served either in a bowl or Lettuce wrapped.

I'm late to the Five Guys party. I think it's become quite the ubiquitous burger joint across the UK now, but living overseas means that this has passed me by. I was delighted to see that they had GF options on the menu so jumped in for my first go.
It's always awkward when you go somewhere for the first time and, based on your accent, people assume you are a local and know how things work. This was my experience in Five Guys. Their GF burger is actually a bun-less burger but I got all flustered at the ordering point and didn't quite know what would be coming out to greet me.
Being able to get GF "fast food" is always a real treat for me as it's just not possible in France. So, this was a great experience. I'm not a huge fan of the bunless burger per se, but this filled a hole and tasted good.
Verdict: Pretty standard issue fast food. Great to have GF options available. Good to know it exists but it probably wouldn't be my first choice in an eat-on-the-go situation.
