    Very consistent quality. Always one of the juiciest burgers in town. Don't go wild with the toppings though. My topping line: mayo, pickles, grilled onions..

    Regular size is extra big. Go for the little burgers. Also small fries are enough for two for sharing. Free peanuts while you wait and a stupid amount of soft drink options. Downstairs is more quiet.

    Chips/fries sizes are slightly misleading, in a good way. A small is enough for 2, or a large man. A medium is enough for 3-4 or 2 large men. A large fries is enough for 3-4 large men. Try the cajun!

    Come hungry because the burgers are a decent size, with 2 patties and A HECK OF A LOT of topping choices. Cajun fries are quite moreish too and the drinks machine offers a crazy array of options.

    I'm a vegetarian, and this is a burger restaurant. So I have realistic expectations I'm not their audience. But their veggie food really is a middle finger to veggies - just the toppings in a bun!

    Bacon cheese (double patties) burger with jalapeno peppers. Do it!

    Little burgers are for weaklings! Two patties always better than 1. great cajun fries. they are not chips, they are medium thick fries! overpriced but worth trying!

    Huge and delicious burgers. Chips, so many chips – you rarely need anything more than a small portion of chips. Also love the unlimited refills on drinks.

    Delicious burgers, you can choose your own combinations of fillings and sauces. Free refills for soft drinks. Casual atmosphere.

    Don't think if these as gourmet burgers by any means. It's premium fast food (still good though). Soda fans will enjoy the drinks machine (it can make 150 odd drinks)

    Ok to visit once or twice but it's expensive, the burgers are always very messy to eat, not sure i really like the peanut oil fries and bottomless cola is half water. Go for the small burger and fries

    Generous sizes! I only needed the little bacon cheeseburger and small fries. Endless refills on drinks added awesomeness :)

    The basic cheeseburger is a thing of beauty. Classic, greasy burger. Worth the wait.

    Free peanuts, the many toppings make for a decent vegetarian burger/sandwich, generous portions of fries

    Burgers and fries are what they do best but the hot dogs are pretty good too.

    Little burger just means one patty - not "small". Small fries are also easily enough for one! They top up the bag

    Cheeseburgers are massive, small chip portion is pretty big too. Both tasty and good value!

    Only got 1 star out of 5 in the Guardian 'Best Burgers' review and it's easy to see why. The veggie option is truly disgusting - essentially just soggy mushrooms in a bun.

    The quality burgers, hot dogs and fries. Just be aware that the fabulous shakes are not sold here.

    The Cheeseburgers are delicious, though not the prettiest things. Powerful meaty flavour.

    Get your burger straight, and enjoy the simplicity of a good and honest meat :-)

    Burgers are great. Servings of fries give insight into the US obesity epidemic. Order small or give them a miss entirely.

    Five Guys lands in Islington! Quicker and nicer than Byron. Go 'all in' and taste the difference

    Do not be fooled into thinking you need a normal burger, it is the same size as a small one but with an extra bit of meat. Same with small fries, easily enough for one.

    I didn't like this place when I first went but it's ok for a late late burger. I prefer the double cheese with some extras and no sauces with it. I don't get the fries as I find them too salty.

    They dump a billion fries in your take away bag so get a small size. The "little burgers" are only little if you're fat

    Burghers are good. French Fries are better. Unfortunately, side portion are small. You can keep drinking fizzy drinks for free non-stop, but the meal is overpriced. £25 for medium and a small meal

    Not for me..reminds me of old the wimpy burgers....over priced considering there are loads of burger joints around which are more superior I had a refund and the guy assisting me was very apologetic

    Not the best option for sure as it reminds a bit a burger from Burger King. However it is quite descent if you are around the area and you find yourself extremely hungry! Read more

    Normal cheese burger is quiet enough if you have a normal appetite. Double cheese and regular chips are too big.
