It's worth it atleast once.

Meh, I'd say it's massively overpriced for what is fairly standard fast food.

I'd say it is a cut above the basics like BK and McDonald's but agree it's price point is on premium side for its class.

Thats why I've never tried it. Came close once, but didn't get beyond a meter in the door.
Its not like their restaurant is even designed nicely. It really just looks like McDonalds but 3x the price.

It's probably comparable to quality of food at GBK or Byron.

I'm starting to think that UK Five Guys is different than Canada Five Guys.

I've had it in both US and UK. I don't think I'd say there was much difference though UK had even higher price tag.

Last Friday, I made a Lockdown mistake of going to a grocery store (Sainsburys) located near a McDonalds.  The massive vehicle lineup at their drive-thru for what is apparently the UK's craving for a  Friday-night Big Mac fest was blocking the grocery parking lot.  :mad:

Pretty sad grocery parking lot then.

It's more expensive than the vastly superior Honest Burgers

Wendys now. Wendys I miss. Used to go to the Harajuku one about once a month for a short while. It was pretty good and not massively expensive.

They are planning to relaunch in the UK in the Summer. I remember having them in the 90s but can't really remember if they were any good or not

As a kid/teenager, Wendys was always the go-to chain burger place for me and my brothers.

Wendy's has good salads. i mean, not exactly what you'd go to a burger place for normally, but their competition sucks so wholly that i just wanted to give Wendy's their due.

I think it must be 2 years since I went to a burger joint; I'm starting to get cravings  :)
