To think it’s hard to go to McDonalds after Five Guys?

I think that a premium supermarket burger on the barbecue tastes better than Five Guys

I eat chicken at McDonalds so can’t comment if burgers have changed but the price has risen since the days that I overlooked the quality because of the price.

McDonalds is a convenience food in emergency. It’s adequate but drab and makes no effort at a balanced meal.
Five guys is priced at a significant multiple of the McD price and is all about the options for toppings.
You are comparing ‘easy peeler’ oranges with apple crumble and custard with a price differential of >500%.
Having compared both, I’d rather make sure that I have the classic toppings in the fridge and then we can choose.

Five Guys or McDonalds? Which one is better? There's only one way to find out! FIGHT!

Had five guys once and it was so plain, was squashed and smushed in the wrapper. I couldn't believe people raved about it. No idea why it cost so much, the burger was so tiny too!

McDonald's - you know what you are getting, can't go wrong with a big Tasty!

Five Guys is awful, Shake Shake every single time. I prefer their crinkle cut fries too.

To the poster who asked about Wendy's, last time it was in the UK, it was easily my favourite and would take over McDonalds.

I think Wendy's is better than both. Nuggets and burgers are better. Mind you I've not been to maccies since they started prioritising delivery drivers and leaving the rest of their customers waiting for upwards of 30 minutes for 'fast' food. I'm not a fan of 5 guys fries but DH weirdly loves the place.

Just for their breakfast, McDonalds will always win, and Burger King beats 5 Guys.

I LOVE a 5 guys, but they're so expensive

I wouldn't be excited about burgers but even less so about pricey 5 guys burgers. I've never actually eaten there but I've heard they are good.

My dc get excited about maccies. The only 5 guys I ever shelled out for was some extortionate priced chips and shake for ds and his mates as a special treat. We did that once when he was 13 and had heard it was great but he wasn't fussed and now would choose maccies chips and shake instead.

i will eat pretty much anywhere else before I choose 5 guys.

Five guys look and smelly greasy and foul
But then again we never eat at mcdonalds because our local ones are too dangerous

Twas me! It was gorgeous I promise! Oooh that egg on top and the sweet sharpness of the beetroot. salivates

I know what you mean about the chicken - definitely not the main event, but I definitely had a breaded version with brie and cranberry at the Waterloo one once and that was really very nice - if that is still there!

Shoestring! That's the word! Oh so sad they don't do them anymore. They were gorgeous. I had the app on my phone and everything.

I always used to think who would order the kiwi burger!
They do still exist I just checked and there's one near my parents' ......
They don't do the kiwi anymore, nor the lovely lamb burger with beetroot and minted yoghurt. If looks a bit uninspiring all pretty plain with cheese, onion rings, bacon etc. The chicken burger options look good but that's not what you go there for.
They also no longer do the shoestring rosemary fries

I did too - I miss their Kiwi Burger and Skinny Skinny Fries. They don't have them in Wales, but I used to go to the Greenwich one if it's still there? Jump off the DLR at Cutty Sark, go for Kiwi Burger, then a glass of wine at The Moth. Ahhh memories!

DH raved about five guys but I thought it was very bland, I don't think McDonald's is any better but at least it's cheaper.
I used to like gbk but I've not seen one for ages, do they still exist?

That wasn't aimed at you. It was the poster with the fake "Are you ok?" comment

Meh, it is all crap imo.🍔🍟

Erm it was just a joke. I didn’t spit out my coffee, but I did permit a slight wry smile

I went to Five Guys once before developing a peanut allergy. Wasn't that impressed by it (it was a long time ago now, in fairness).

Used to love KFC but hate their fries now. Maccies is hit or miss. If a Tim Hortons is available, I'll always choose that! Love Tim Hortons.

This with bells on. I'm sure that I've said exactly that word for word!

Five Guys is gorgeous but very expensive. It's a treat for us. I love the shakes 🤤

But they’re so different- five guys to me is sit down and stuff yourself- waiting for the satisfaction, McDonald’s is just a bit of a laugh and you need something to tide you over.hate five guys fries!

Agreed. I hate the whole faux head tilt thing. It's so unnecessary

Wendy's is overpriced and over rated IMO. It's nice, but not the nicest.

Same as 5 guys really. Nice but nothing amazing. Although last time I ordered 5 Guys for DS2 as a treat (only the 2nd time he's had it) he didn't realise that he needed to add all the salad etc as extras and ended up with a very plain burger!

Five Guys is nice but v v v expensive. I prefer a Big Mac.

McDonalds fairly insubstantial, Five Guys is so expensive for what it is.

Junior Whopper with cheese is a bargain and tastes fantastic.

You pick ketchup - you don't expect it to be absolutely dripping everywhere?!
