Gary, you should never feel the need to apologise. None of us enjoy feeling ill, and i think no one would complain if you took a break from your busy schedule.
That looked very nice, Gary. I wasn’t sure you’d enjoy it but I’m glad you did. I do love a good burger here and there. Oh, that portion of Fries was absolutely huge. Especially for a small. Maybe they made a mistake and give you 2 portions. Either way, it’s never a bad thing to get more then you usually would expect. I agree, a bit pricey but it is what it is and I think if you don’t eat out much, it’s a reasonable treat. Especially for the high quality. I’ve not tried five guys yet but you convinced me to give it a try. And hope you feeling better soon, mate. 👍
Easily my favourite food reviewer on RUclips. Good range of places from the cheap to the fairly expensive, keeps it real and no click bait titles. I had a rotten cold too for a week or so recently. Feel better soon.

Take a break and get well. The main reason I (and I suspect most people) are enjoying your content is because its real, its easy going and it's very easy to relate to. Whatever you do dont fall into the "content creator" trap. I know I for one would rather you took it a bit easier and didnt burn out than run yourself into the ground for the "algorithms". Do it for the love of it and the passion of it, because that's why we like it. We will still be here waiting for the next opportunity to "give it a go", even it that's another week or so!
That's extremely kind of you to say, I have slowed down with the content of late as have felt under the weather but do appreciate you sticking by me. Thank you!
Love how you're gaining confidence. Can see you relaxing and enjoying it more with every video. It's tough putting yourself out there: you're doing a fantastic job.
Good review mate👍🏻🇦🇺👍🏻 A good burger always a treat but too many folk using these types of outlets as their major food source. Expensive and unhealthy option when overdone.
I think the reason people enjoy this channel is you have the same enthusiasm to eating in a fancy posh restaurant as you do eating in a fast food place. Hope your feeling better. 👍
Feel better Dearest! Thanks for the video! We love you here in Santa Barbara, California USA! You’re a VERY welcome break from all the stuff we’ve got going on here!!!♥️🙋♀️‼️☮️
No issue you testing fast food places. If anything, it gives us as viewers a benchmark that most of us all can relate to so that we can understand your tastes and review gradings which adds more value to your usual reviews. Keep up the great videos 😊
I love seeing fast food places getting reviewed because I never visit them. I used to stop at Maccas for the barista made coffee now and then, but they have even managed to ruin that seems to have reduced the coffee to milk ratio to increase profit and use cheaper beans. Tastes terrible! I haven't bought fast food for over 5 years I think.
Hi Gary I’m one guy who suggested five guys after your Wendy’s trip, the F,Guys my local in Brixton south London had a box of peanuts in the shells you can help yourself to as many as you like, and a sign saying where today’s potatoes were from, yes a bit expensive but me and the misses only have one small chips to share, we are OAPs after all. Good review again mate 👍
I’ve installed ice machines in various Five Guys and we often get a free meal afterwards which is vey much appreciated as the burgers & fries are absolutely delicious. By far the best burgers I’ve had and when you consider how much meat you get compared to Madge or BK they are actually good value too👌🏻
@@MJA1231 Hi, we install ice cube machines, made by Hoshizaki. They are the KMD range and produce crescent shaped ice and they sit on top of the Coke Freestyle unit. I’ve no experience with ice cream machines, good luck with your quest..
Went to 5 Guys once in the city, worked in Manhattan. I really loved it, burger, one price and all the toppings you care to add. Saw the fresh beef being shaped and cooked. Fries were lovely but the topper for me was they had Malt Vinegar, a very rare condiment in the US. Also they have bags of monkey nuts for free to eat while you are waiting.
Gary is a superb presenter could easily get on the telly..Very charming and genuine and covers the subject in plenty of depth in a down to earth pleasant manner and keeps your attention span going right to the end.
@@GaryEats Can't wait! Enjoy it, apparently the Wetherspoons hotel is really good too! Stay and explore it, and the pub and brewery on the top of the 199 steps. It looks stunning on a night!
Five Guys have nailed the customer satisfaction with the chip thing. It's a marketing ploy that is perfectly done, you get a cup of chips and they fill in the rest. Makes me you feel like you're getting more, and who doesnt like getting more.
Gary providing some refreshing honesty. I personally think Five Guys, out of all the fast food joints, are superb. But i'm glad he's giving this one a go, and not a McDonalds
Perfect review. I feel the same way, it’s an excellent, excellent burger and fries…but the cost means I don’t go that often…but whenever I do go, I look forward to it and I thoroughly enjoy it.
Hi Gary, Glad you enjoyed Five Guys, it was sooner than you predicted. Their fries sizes are a portion plus extra every time, By the counter area there's normally a sign signifying what potatoes they're using and who supplied them at that present time. 55lbs bags of potatoes are delivered to the restaurant, washed, then chipped and fried. Can't get fresher than that. Enjoying your content, Keep the vlogs coming,
(123) Peanut oil is the key to giving anything a good finish when you deep-fry something; it has quite a high "smoke point". I have never had a Five Guys burger, and they are not cheap. But then again, the folk I've talked to who have had them say they are worth the money. Quite pleased that you enjoyed it so much. Thanks for the upload, Gary!!! Always a treat. 😃
A lot of people are allergic to peanuts. 3% or so of the population. I wouldn’t be able eat there sadly. I’m far from allergic to Gary’s superb reviews though!
Gary, definitely a true English Gentleman, definitely of the class of Gentleman that unfortunately don’t today exist. Thank you for your detailed contributions for the various reviews you provide us, peasants! Much appreciated old Bean! Get well soon. Tally Ho! Onwards & upwards Gary.

As a British Pipefitter Plumber working in the USA, I put in the plumbing and get running 2 5 guys' restaurants in Idaho USA, I actually Met 4 of the 5 guys And a mother ( who absolutely loves the UK ), At this point they didn't do Milkshakes When asked what I thought of the free burgers We got on pre-opening Day staff training, I said It would be nice If I could get a milkshake, and they introduced them shortly After, One Guy is responsibly for the building of All 5 guys restaurants, So impressed With our problem solving and getting our stuff ahead of schedule He Gave us 5 guys hats and I could get a free burger or Fries When ever I wanted one for a month

Way to go Gary, almost at 60, 000 !!!!! 🥂🥂🥂Loved the Five Guys episode, we have them in CA and I do like the burgers as well, can’t beat the fries too… Enjoyed the review and agree with you on every point. Congrats on another fantastic review!🏄🏻♀️🏄🏻♀️🍻🍻🍔🍔🐳🐳😍😍
Sorry to hear you are under the weather, seems to hammering a few at present, so take it easy on yourself - and as a North Yorkshireman I will look forward to seeing where you go at Whitby. Keep safe, and get well soon.
Great review Gary, love your channel. After you raved about that burger I headed straight for Five Guys, only a couple of hundred metres from where I live in Melbourne Australia. Never been in there before and probably never would have but for you. The place was insanely busy with a queue back to the entrance door, but their efficiency was amazing and my order was taken and meal prepared and served in only a few minutes. I ordered the bacon and cheese burger with all the usual toppings (but not mushrooms), small Cajun fries and a chocolate milkshake. Best fast food meal I've ever had and at $39.90 also the most expensive. Never mind, it was worth every cent. All ingredients are locally grown Australian produce, the best in the world. For mine I give it a perfect 10. Before leaving, I excitedly congratulated the manager and staff. We have two other Five Guys, located in Sydney and Penrith NSW. Fantastic!
The thing about Five Guys is if they were decorated more like a chain restaurant or pub, with a closed kitchen, you had to wait 20mins for a burger and it came served on a plate nobody would question the price at all - they’d think it was amazing value. I think the decor is what skews a lot of people’s expectations, it Is a fast food place at the end of the day, just a very high quality one.
@@kurtsmith2547it’s also why there fires are quite expensive they do add in the cost for the extra scoop off fries. But it’s great marketing as it fools people into getting free fires when they do actually charge you for the extra scoop
I've been to Five Guys in Washington DC, and was delighted when they opened a location at Utrecht Central station. When they first opened, they had flown in a crew from Philadelphia to train the Utrecht crew. Right now, the location is temporarily closed as it was all a bit hit or miss with some workers apparently trying to cut corners.
This video came at the perfect time Gary. Lots of negative Five Guys stuff going on here in the US currently. People are posting their receipts and showing how much one meal cost and its insane in some of them.
30 quid for this grub ain't cheap for one person to munch. I may give it a bash in future as i never had it. I can get quality food for less hence why i have not tried it yet.
I went there for lunch a couple of times this week, and I just got a baconburger with a drink, no fries. $5 for a cup of fries is steep, but the burger and a drink isn't bad and fills me up like a decent lunch. I just grab a bunch of peanuts for a side dish, which are free, which I snack on while waiting on the burger. When I go there with my girlfriend, I get the regular fries, since they give you a real mound of them, and split them with her. $5 for the regular fries is a small mountain, so it's plenty for two.
Pistachio milkshake !!! Yummmm ….food looked great …only thing missing is waitresses on roller blades and a bit of buddy holly from a jukebox 😁😁😁 sorry you weren’t feeling well then ,certainly don’t need to apologise either but your a true gent …
If you want to make it a little cheaper and are going with a friend, share a single fries. Obviously you’d buy just the burger and not a burger and hotdog so that makes it cheaper. Without the bacon & cheese that burger is also a good few pounds cheaper, but you can add grilled mushroom, onions for free instead. Taking it to £11.65 without a drink or £15.92 with a drink.
Hi Gary just recently stumbled across your channel and I have to say your my favourite food review channel a refreshing change no advertising slogans just you being you amazing work thankyou x
Hi, Gary. I've watched many of your reviews and I love your approach. As an American, I'm happy you enjoyed Five Guys. I've been living in Europe for 20 years, and anytime I see a Five Guys over here I go there. The last one I went to was in Vienna. But, yeah, I would never bother ordering a hot dog there. Honestly, I never knew they served them till now.
these videos are great Gary, i can see your channel reaching 1million quicker than you could ever imagine, you deserve nothing less mate. keep up the good work sir
I've just discovered your channel and I must say that your content is fantastic. Nice and simple, straight forward reviews; great personality! Keep it up Gary.
I watch from Ireland and watch every single video from ur start .. absolutely love your videos and how real you are .. no messing about.. ive told loads about your videos ..so happy to see the views going up and up 😆 so deserved
I recently ordered a five guys and agree with you about the beef dog. Mine came soggy too back time it got delivered. And the size was so small compared to the other items on their menu that all come large.
Hi Gary Another great video. I know a few people that have been to Five Guys and they speak highly about it. I live right by Resorts World in Birmingham and there is one there, so will have to try it one day as I've never been myself. I wouldn't have the Mayo as i don't like it at all and I'm also allergic but I'd definitely add a load of fried onions to it. The amount of fries you got was great too. Other fast food chains are very tight with their portions and although Five Guys is expensive, at least you know you'll come out full. The hot dog you had looked nice too, albeit a bit odd it being beef sausage rather than pork. I didn't get that one lol, but it seemed nice enough. I think your score of 8.5/10 was fair and would probably give it a similar score myself. Thanks for sharing buddy and looking forward to many more of your videos. I'm catching up on your earlier vlogs too at the moment and they're all fantastic and very honest. All the best mate. Rich👍
Really accurate review Gary. I don’t go often but anytime I have been with the family I’ve always thought the standard of food is excellent. I’ve been to a few throughout the UK and always found the staff to be really customer focussed and really good. The quality of burgers is up there with some high end steakhouses I’ve been to. Great review. 🎉
Gary, that was a great review. My kids love 5 Guys, and the big small fries are always enough to fill us up. I like your reviews of fast food joints. All very engaging. Thank you.
You were spot on with your summary, again thanx for this, subscribed 👍👊, I'm taking my daughter on Saturday, i think I will review it while I'm there, never had the dogg, gotta try now 😎
Hi Gary,had a wonderful lunch at Smith’s in Ongar,Essex yesterday. Lovely place with wonderful fish ,service excellent,such a lovely place. Highly recommend and we’ll certainly be back.
Gary, you ordered two of the best items on the menu - shake and burger - they are both better than other fast food chains. Sadly, they are not as popular as other burger chains due to their cost, and some have gone out of business, here in North America.
Hope you feel better real soon Gary, I'm glad you enjoyed your first time at five guy's! Thank you so much for another awesome honest video 🤙my favourite shake there is coffee banana and peanut butter 😅🤤
Glad you enjoyed one of my favorite burger chains! The stores near me also are always getting the maximum scores on their health and safety inspections, which apparently is pretty difficult. I'll have to look for the pistachio shake next time I'm there given your endorsement haha
I don't know if I have ever seen or watched a Gary Eats review, but it is very cool to see a chap from across the water have an appreciation of how extremely good USA fast food burgers and our Fast-Food Restaurants can be. (agreed 5 Guys are one of the most expensive, but worth every penny)
Hi gary. Them chips stole the show for me, especially being done in peanut oil, and the best bit , was the skin on them.I was expecting the bill to be a lot more , to be honest. Think I’ll be trying a five guys at the weekend Gary. 🥳👍🍔🍔🍔
As someone that lives in the USA (expat here for the past 15 years) and has a five guys about 5 minutes drive from me I must say when I want a decent burger and a ton of fries they are my go to. The extra fries you get is a thing they do. Apparently they extra fries you get they factor in their business model.
I love five guys. Stumbled on it a few years ago by accident and always enjoy it. Its not somewhere i go all the time as its pricey but they never let you down with the quality. Hope you are feeling better Gary.
Gary, I owned a shop in a shopping centre fir many years. The no photo rule came in across the country, 20 odd years ago as a recommendation from the gov during one of the many terrorist threat periods. One group were caught having loads of photos and videos of where they were looking to place their devices, or so we were told at the time. Can't remember which group it was, the threat seemed continuous over the 30 years we had our shop.
I would borrow the old Stella Artois slogan for Five Guys - 'reassuringly expensive'. Gary, I always enjoy your videos, you make me feel as if I'm sitting opposite you at the table !
Five Guys has become my go to burger joint. It just leaves you smiling with a full belly. The milkshake is the cherry on top. Absolutely love it. My combo is the double cheese with mushrooms, lettuce, tomato jalapeños, pickles and a little ketchup and mayo. It’s a blinder. Love it.
Gary, you should never feel the need to apologise. None of us enjoy feeling ill, and i think no one would complain if you took a break from your busy schedule.
I think it's only fair but thank you. I did promise a Whitby video a few weeks ago!
Only thing that cares is the cursed algorithms that content creators are behest to
how much more betrayal can you take!
I think an apology is fair too Gary.
That looked very nice, Gary. I wasn’t sure you’d enjoy it but I’m glad you did.
I do love a good burger here and there. Oh, that portion of Fries was absolutely huge. Especially for a small.
Maybe they made a mistake and give you 2 portions. Either way, it’s never a bad thing to get more then you usually would expect.
I agree, a bit pricey but it is what it is and I think if you don’t eat out much, it’s a reasonable treat. Especially for the high quality.
I’ve not tried five guys yet but you convinced me to give it a try.
And hope you feeling better soon, mate. 👍

Fun fact about Five Guys, they don't have any freezers, apart for to store ice cream both fries and burgers are cooked from scratch
Yep, nice one Chris
They also freeze or atleast used to keep frozen hot dogs (atleast used to during covid times, not sure how it is there now)
Why are they so bad then .
Yet, they still suck.

it actually isnt a fast food place. fresh food made when u order it.
i HATE the decor. its awful. Looks like they hose it down at the end of every shift so there is no fabrics to soak :)
@@Busterpoo1964 that’s a weird and extreme comment. It’s not a fine dinning restaurant
@@marklee6516 the biggest problem is people keep comparing 5 guys to fast food. It isn’t fast food
we had a family meal at 5 guys and yes its good get well and give yourself time to get back on your feet we will still be here happy new year
The five guys milkshakes are amazing!!! The peanut butter one is fire 🔥
Is that your favourite?
@@GaryEats Yes Gary. It’s amazing! If you like peanut butter try it next time mate!
Definitely going to have to try it.
I do a mix; Peanut butter & Salted Caramel. The Caramel just enhances the peanut flavour.
Salted Caramel, Vanilla, Lotus Biscoff pieces!
That portion of fries is just right for five guys 😂
LOL!
I made the mistake of getting a large portion the first time I ate at Five Guys. I hardly managed to make a dent in the portion they served.
They do that to get rid of the potatoes before they go rotten as they order massive sacks, I wish they ordered massive sacks of beef 😂
the large portion is good if you are there with multiple people and just want to split the fries@@jamescollins6085
@@kurtsmith2547it’s also why there fires are quite expensive they do add in the cost for the extra scoop off fries.
But it’s great marketing as it fools people into getting free fires when they do actually charge you for the extra scoop
You could review a packed lunch at the back of a bus and I’d still have a watch. Hope the cold clears up.
lol thank you very much
I've been to Five Guys in Washington DC, and was delighted when they opened a location at Utrecht Central station. When they first opened, they had flown in a crew from Philadelphia to train the Utrecht crew. Right now, the location is temporarily closed as it was all a bit hit or miss with some workers apparently trying to cut corners.
I’m sorry to hear that it’s closed
Thanks for the video Gary. Fries looked delicious. 😋
You're more than welcome anytime
Gary we love all your reviews ❤
Very kind Dazza thank you
love 5 guys and thanks for the upload never apologize for not doing more your the best food reviewer on you tube
That is very kind Steven thank you 🙏
Aw you looked like you loved that milkshake too ! Good on you, you do fab reviews 😊. Hope you feel better soon!
Thank you Amanda a good milkshake 👍
Get well soon Gary , superb content as always !
Thank you Richard and thank you
This video came at the perfect time Gary. Lots of negative Five Guys stuff going on here in the US currently. People are posting their receipts and showing how much one meal cost and its insane in some of them.
It was insane here as well
30 quid for this grub ain't cheap for one person to munch. I may give it a bash in future as i never had it. I can get quality food for less hence why i have not tried it yet.
I went there for lunch a couple of times this week, and I just got a baconburger with a drink, no fries. $5 for a cup of fries is steep, but the burger and a drink isn't bad and fills me up like a decent lunch. I just grab a bunch of peanuts for a side dish, which are free, which I snack on while waiting on the burger. When I go there with my girlfriend, I get the regular fries, since they give you a real mound of them, and split them with her. $5 for the regular fries is a small mountain, so it's plenty for two.
It’s horrid in the U.K. once was enough will never go back
@@deadzio Save your money. Five guys is not that good.
I took my two kids, three burgers, three small fries, three milkshakes £60. I almost needed resuscitation!!! It was very tasty though.
Tasty and pricey is exactly how I called it after I took my little niece to one. Just under £50 for the 2 of us.
Personally wouldn’t be a place I take kids as they wouldn’t appreciate how much better the burgers are.
Great for the rest of us tho
The small portions of fries are now tiny and expensive..don't order them now. Rip off !!
@@tomfitz-tm6tz I doubt they changed the portion size within days of filming this video. Either you got shafted or Gary got lucky.
@@Coxy-b34 his fries are huge.. I ordered small and it was a tiny paper cup full.. London and Barcelona branches.. 😥
What an afternoon I’m having catching up with these! Gary you are a gent..Cheers!
Stephen you're a very kind bloke, thank you
Down to earth. Just earned my sub.
That is very kind and it’s really appreciated thank you very much 👍
59K!!!!!
60K BY THE WEEKEND THEN LADS,🤞🤞🤞
Hopefully, he deserves it 😃
Just got there David and I really appreciate all you support all the time mate 👍
What is catch-up?
Pistachio milkshake !!! Yummmm ….food looked great …only thing missing is waitresses on roller blades and a bit of buddy holly from a jukebox 😁😁😁 sorry you weren’t feeling well then ,certainly don’t need to apologise either but your a true gent …
That’s very kind Wayne I wasn’t on top,form on this occasion
If you want to make it a little cheaper and are going with a friend, share a single fries. Obviously you’d buy just the burger and not a burger and hotdog so that makes it cheaper. Without the bacon & cheese that burger is also a good few pounds cheaper, but you can add grilled mushroom, onions for free instead. Taking it to £11.65 without a drink or £15.92 with a drink.
Thank you very much for the information
@ I think it’s a bargain at around £12-£16, certainly a shock if you’ve only ever eaten at McDonalds, but the food is, as you said, way better!
“Milkshakes that’ll bring a tear to your eye!”
Only thing making me cry are the prices.
I can understand that comment
£5.99 for a milkshake is an absoloute joke, no matter how nice it is.
Unless I've got the exchange rate wrong, that price seems about normal. Maybe not right, but typical.
Looks delicious, but $35 for a fast food meal is off the rails.
It’s an expensive burger, but it tasted very good
Big fan of these reviews..refreshing to see a decent person giving refreshingly palatable food reviews.10/10 for me.
That’s very kind and appreciated, Vince thank you
Good but the hotdog price is robbery
I actually did not like the hotdog too much, Johnny
five guys are faultless 10/10
👍
five guys is on the expensive side, but it's soo good your happy to pay for quality. If you haven't tried it yourself, you won't be disappointed.
Hi Gary just recently stumbled across your channel and I have to say your my favourite food review channel a refreshing change no advertising slogans just you being you amazing work thankyou x
I really appreciate that Jayne, that's ever so kind of you have a lovely week in the sun x
Hi, Gary. I've watched many of your reviews and I love your approach. As an American, I'm happy you enjoyed Five Guys. I've been living in Europe for 20 years, and anytime I see a Five Guys over here I go there. The last one I went to was in Vienna. But, yeah, I would never bother ordering a hot dog there. Honestly, I never knew they served them till now.
these videos are great Gary, i can see your channel reaching 1million quicker than you could ever imagine, you deserve nothing less mate. keep up the good work sir
Thank you so much, I don't think I will be around enough in time to hit 1 million!
@@GaryEats I hope you’re around forever mate, a great example for the younger generation and great content. Thank you👍🏻
Great review one again. Looked great. Burger needed a nice grilled field mushroom and beetroot 😄
You can order if wanted
Found your videos at the weekend and been plowing thru them all.really good watch mate!
You're a star, thank you
I've just discovered your channel and I must say that your content is fantastic. Nice and simple, straight forward reviews; great personality! Keep it up Gary.
That is very kind Micheal, I really appreciate you watching and commenting 👍
I watch from Ireland and watch every single video from ur start .. absolutely love your videos and how real you are .. no messing about.. ive told loads about your videos ..so happy to see the views going up and up 😆 so deserved
That is very kind and really appreciated Martin, I’ll be over to Ireland very soon mate. My family are all from Laois where are you from ? 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Great vid Gary , you're such a natural presenter , love all your vids
Thanks so much Tom 👍
I recently ordered a five guys and agree with you about the beef dog. Mine came soggy too back time it got delivered. And the size was so small compared to the other items on their menu that all come large.
I think you should just stick to the burgers
Hi Gary
Another great video. I know a few people that have been to Five Guys and they speak highly about it. I live right by Resorts World in Birmingham and there is one there, so will have to try it one day as I've never been myself. I wouldn't have the Mayo as i don't like it at all and I'm also allergic but I'd definitely add a load of fried onions to it. The amount of fries you got was great too. Other fast food chains are very tight with their portions and although Five Guys is expensive, at least you know you'll come out full. The hot dog you had looked nice too, albeit a bit odd it being beef sausage rather than pork. I didn't get that one lol, but it seemed nice enough. I think your score of 8.5/10 was fair and would probably give it a similar score myself.
Thanks for sharing buddy and looking forward to many more of your videos. I'm catching up on your earlier vlogs too at the moment and they're all fantastic and very honest. All the best mate.
Rich👍
Thank you for commenting Rich and really appreciate your kind comments 👍
Really accurate review Gary. I don’t go often but anytime I have been with the family I’ve always thought the standard of food is excellent. I’ve been to a few throughout the UK and always found the staff to be really customer focussed and really good. The quality of burgers is up there with some high end steakhouses I’ve been to. Great review. 🎉
It’s a great burger but a little pricey Michael
Gary, that was a great review. My kids love 5 Guys, and the big small fries are always enough to fill us up. I like your reviews of fast food joints. All very engaging. Thank you.
That is very kind to say thank you very much
You were spot on with your summary, again thanx for this, subscribed 👍👊, I'm taking my daughter on Saturday, i think I will review it while I'm there, never had the dogg, gotta try now 😎
Thank you for subscribing, watching and commenting that’s really appreciated, you review and let me know your score, I wasn’t mad about the dog 👍
Il be watching all your content dude, I like ur style, keep doing what u do, again my friend, thanx for this 😎💥
I went to the Cambridge one and found it expensive too. Not sure id try FG again
It’s definitely expensive but a great burger
As usual an honest and brilliant review. Yet again I will dine out to your recommendation. Thank you Gary.
Thank you!
Thanks for your videos. They are very honest and informative so I subscribed. Hello from Arizona USA!
Thank you very much Gabrielle it very much appreciated 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 and hello from the UK 🇬🇧
I was literally salivating watching this!! Great show this
Thank you Tim
Hi Gary,had a wonderful lunch at Smith’s in Ongar,Essex yesterday. Lovely place with wonderful fish ,service excellent,such a lovely place. Highly recommend and we’ll certainly be back.
That’s so good to hear Terry I will take a look 👍
With the burgers, it’s really a case of experimenting with multiple visits and then when you get your favourite setup you’ll love it.
Thank you Thomas
Just in time for the weekend.Thanks Gary.
👍
Gary, you ordered two of the best items on the menu - shake and burger - they are both better than other fast food chains. Sadly, they are not as popular as other burger chains due to their cost, and some have gone out of business, here in North America.
I’m sorry to hear someone have gone out of business, but I agree it is expensive
Hope you feel better real soon Gary, I'm glad you enjoyed your first time at five guy's!
Thank you so much for another awesome honest video 🤙my favourite shake there is coffee banana and peanut butter 😅🤤
Thank you Gareth I’m all good now thank you and a great milkshake choice 👍
Glad you enjoyed one of my favorite burger chains! The stores near me also are always getting the maximum scores on their health and safety inspections, which apparently is pretty difficult. I'll have to look for the pistachio shake next time I'm there given your endorsement haha
It’s a great burger but a little pricey
I don't know if I have ever seen or watched a Gary Eats review, but it is very cool to see a chap from across the water have an appreciation of how extremely good USA fast food burgers and our Fast-Food Restaurants can be. (agreed 5 Guys are one of the most expensive, but worth every penny)
That is very kind to say, thank you, Jack
Hi gary. Them chips stole the show for me, especially being done in peanut oil, and the best bit , was the skin on them.I was expecting the bill to be a lot more , to be honest. Think I’ll be trying a five guys at the weekend Gary. 🥳👍🍔🍔🍔
I was amazed at the size of the portion, Billy
As someone that lives in the USA (expat here for the past 15 years) and has a five guys about 5 minutes drive from me I must say when I want a decent burger and a ton of fries they are my go to. The extra fries you get is a thing they do. Apparently they extra fries you get they factor in their business model.
I think it was a great burger, but it is a bit pricey
I love five guys. Stumbled on it a few years ago by accident and always enjoy it. Its not somewhere i go all the time as its pricey but they never let you down with the quality. Hope you are feeling better Gary.
I’m all good now Jamie thank you 👍
Gary, I owned a shop in a shopping centre fir many years. The no photo rule came in across the country, 20 odd years ago as a recommendation from the gov during one of the many terrorist threat periods. One group were caught having loads of photos and videos of where they were looking to place their devices, or so we were told at the time. Can't remember which group it was, the threat seemed continuous over the 30 years we had our shop.
I would borrow the old Stella Artois slogan for Five Guys - 'reassuringly expensive'. Gary, I always enjoy your videos, you make me feel as if I'm sitting opposite you at the table !
That is really kind to say thank you very much
I've learnt so much from watching you Gary, when I'm next in London I'll have a pretty big list to eat my way through.👍 Cheers.
I hope you enjoy Alex
Looks quality, I hope you enjoyed that! It's a colourful video this
It was really good but expensive
Brilliant video!! Totally agree about the burger!! Hope all is well, take care
Thanks so much! All is good Peter. Take care
Five Guys has become my go to burger joint. It just leaves you smiling with a full belly. The milkshake is the cherry on top. Absolutely love it. My combo is the double cheese with mushrooms, lettuce, tomato jalapeños, pickles and a little ketchup and mayo. It’s a blinder. Love it.
