I like both but fancy Five Guys at the moment so voting for that!

19lottie82 · 30/09/2017 16:27

I love both.
Cannot believe the PP who called 4G burgers "mediocre"......wtaf?Confused

Today thought I would go for a Nando's, sunset burger (medium) with spicy rice and Piri Piri chips. nom.

TheNaze73 · 30/09/2017 16:31

It's opposite the downstairs Nando's & wahacca

RhiannonOHara · 30/09/2017 16:34

Majority rules.

Unilaterally, I'd go for Nandos: love it. In no small part because of the macho peas.

Also, I've never been to Five Guys but have had a report from a disgruntled friend who queued for one branch for aeons and then found the food to be 'not all that'.

cunningstunnt · 30/09/2017 16:34

Majority wins but I prefer nandos. Five guys is so expensive and it's basically a glorified McDonald's. plus I'm a chilli head so need xx hot nandos chicken in my life

LazyDailyMailJournos · 30/09/2017 16:35

5 guys every time. Not for the food - for the utterly lush peanut butter milkshake that I have been dreaming about during the last 5 months of dieting

SisyphusHadItEasy · 30/09/2017 16:36

OK, OP is officially on my shit list now.

DD is in the hospital (we have been here for a week) and I have to remain at her bedside.

Now I want a Five Guys burger and can't get one.

Meanie!!!

SilentlyScreamingAgain · 30/09/2017 16:37

I think a much more interesting discussion would be why 'the driver' imagines his (and it will be some bloke) vote is worth more than two others. Maybe you could chat about it over a burger?

Whitecurrants · 30/09/2017 16:37

Wait - you’re in Bluewater? Then you’re not driving at the moment anyway

DailyMailReadersAreThick · 30/09/2017 16:37

Nando's every time.

ShitOrBust · 30/09/2017 16:37

Neither. Nando's is a bit rubbish and Five Guys chips really let it down.

LidlAngel · 30/09/2017 16:40

Five Guys is nothing special whereas Nando's has macho peas so Nando's wins for me!!

KrytensNanobots · 30/09/2017 16:42

Never been to 5 Guys, never even heard of it and just had to google! So I go for Nandos. Smile

HolgerDanske · 30/09/2017 16:43

5 guys!!

AnnieAnoniMouse · 30/09/2017 16:45

Neither. 5 Guys don't even do a Veggie Burger & Nando's - bleurgh.

Wagamama's or Mexican followed by Tutti Frutti.

Never heard of 5 Guys either, opened the post assuming from the title it was by a hungry, indecisive nymphomaniac faced with the impossible choice of food or fucking.

BluthsFrozenBananas · 30/09/2017 16:47

Last time I went to the 5 Guys at bluewater it smelled like drains. However seeing as they're opposite each other you could all get takeaway and go and eat it in the food court.

We were driving at time of original post.

Got my burger, the queue to nandos is insane, we're all happy.

To the posters saying why is his preferences more important, lighten up, its my brother and we're having a laugh, didn't think I need to put light hearted in the title!!
To the poster in hospital, big love and burger well wishes to your dd!!

I have never ever heard of five guys. Ever. And it does not sound like an eating place. Am I the only reader of this who re read the OP and thought the OP was asking if she should have a chicken dinner or an orgy with five guys ( and that the 18 yr old in the bck wanted to partake in orgy too?) Or have I just got a warped and filthy mind??
And, for the record I like Nandos and I have NEVER had five guys ( well, not all at once anyway!)

LittleBearPad · 30/09/2017 16:54

I've only been to one 5 guys - are all their chips incredibly salty or is it just the one near my house

MargaretTwatyer · 30/09/2017 16:55

You need a second mortgage to go to Nando's.

CoughLaughFart · 30/09/2017 16:57

So what?
