Review of Five Guys

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.
