Pedro CambraDecember 27, 2013Regular 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.
Berkay ReyhanJanuary 29, 2017Very 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..
Michael YangNovember 16, 2013Chips/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!
Tak HaDecember 14, 2013Come 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.
AntonyAugust 9, 2016I'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!
James GillAugust 13, 2014Huge 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.- DavidMarch 21, 2015Don'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)
Chris-Tèr JorgitoMarch 17, 2014Little 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!
Chrissy WallaceJune 25, 2015Cheeseburgers are massive, small chip portion is pretty big too. Both tasty and good value!
Rosephine FernandesOctober 27, 2014Delicious burgers, you can choose your own combinations of fillings and sauces. Free refills for soft drinks. Casual atmosphere.
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
T HJune 30, 2014Only 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.
Tom BurnsSeptember 26, 2014Little burger just means one patty - not "small". Small fries are also easily enough for one! They top up the bag
- Luke TulloOctober 1, 2015Free peanuts, the many toppings make for a decent vegetarian burger/sandwich, generous portions of fries
David RJanuary 10, 2014Burgers are great. Servings of fries give insight into the US obesity epidemic. Order small or give them a miss entirely.
Will ClarkJanuary 31, 2016The basic cheeseburger is a thing of beauty. Classic, greasy burger. Worth the wait.
Andrew WhiteheadJanuary 26, 2018Burgers and fries are what they do best but the hot dogs are pretty good too.
Paul Anderson-FosterFebruary 19, 2017The quality burgers, hot dogs and fries. Just be aware that the fabulous shakes are not sold here.
Kurt HaaNovember 3, 2015Get your burger straight, and enjoy the simplicity of a good and honest meat :-)
Tom BrewerSeptember 14, 2014Really good burgers. Can chose exactly what you want in it. No more unwanted pickle!
Kimberley CookSeptember 26, 2014Do 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.
Benjamin EstersonFebruary 26, 2016The Cheeseburgers are delicious, though not the prettiest things. Powerful meaty flavour.
Nicola ClementJune 21, 2014Generous sizes! I only needed the little bacon cheeseburger and small fries. Endless refills on drinks added awesomeness :)
Jef WegNovember 1, 2014They dump a billion fries in your take away bag so get a small size. The "little burgers" are only little if you're fat
Andrew WhiteMarch 28, 2015Burghers 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
MonaDecember 17, 2014I 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.
- Five Guys get my vote for best gourmet burger. Only Honest come close.
Rosa ReidAugust 25, 2016Not 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
Kizzy WellardJanuary 3, 2014Really friendly staff great with kids. Really helpful. Chip portion size are massive.
- BrokeinLondon.comDecember 22, 2013Not 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
Prefer it to GBK but that's personal preference as burgers are much more juicier
Andrew SmallwoodNovember 26, 2013Five Guys lands in Islington! Quicker and nicer than Byron. Go 'all in' and taste the difference
Maxime DuboisSeptember 11, 2014Normal cheese burger is quiet enough if you have a normal appetite. Double cheese and regular chips are too big.
Ed SNovember 19, 2013Burger isn't bad, but the whole meal is MASSIVELY over priced, chips are way too salty. Would I come again? Maybe... But I certainly prefer Byron just over the road, similar price if not cheaper.
Sebastian WagnerJanuary 26, 2014are you friggin kiddi me?? 8 GBP for a bacon burger???? you are not shitting gold on your buns , how can you even dare charging anything near that price? the burger was good but nowhere nere 8 GBP!!
Charlotte de BerryFebruary 24, 2014More about quantity than taste, but if you're hungry, that's definitely the burger joint to go to
Rylan HoleyOctober 11, 2014Ok burgers but nice chips. But what horrible service. Especially with the prices you pay! £25 for 2 burgers, fries and drinks.
