I honestly think GBK are a bit crap. Went there a few times years ago, would much rather do Five Guys (oo-er missus)
I can't be arsed with fancy burger toppings. With the exception of Beefy Boys in Hereford, I find massively loaded burgers a bit tedious and gimmicky.

Hot take: if you can't hold/eat the burger with one hand, it's shit.

They just opened up a Taco bell near me, I've heard some horror stories after people eating in there so don't think I'll be trying.

I like simple burgers. Like in Popeye. Shake shack are my favourite of the franchises. Oowee, squeezed, milk bun in bristol.

The drive through bit of one was apparently hilariously built really narrowly with high kerbs so all the chelsea tractor mob from teh oil companies were complaining about dinged alloys.  |

My burger hot take is that bacon doesn't belong in a burger. Outrageous!!! Bacon (and cheese) is essential to a burger. Why else would it be called a HAMburger? |

My biggest issue is the dumb 'illusion of free fries' thing. Using a cup too small to make you think they gave you loads as they spill out into the bag when, really, you still feel the price of every chip and you just have to fish them out the bottom of the bag. The Illusion of Free Fries sounds like something Neil Gaiman would writing to pad out a short story collection |

I need to be able to eat a burger properly, but the bigger and messier the better, especially on fried chicken burgers. If I've not needed at least 5 napkins then it's been a meh experience.

drhickman1983 no love for Caribbean Wrap? The sausage stall used to do amazing sausage and mash at lunchtime, too, but I think they stopped. I miss St. Nick's.

dogbotAh, they're amazing too. I could pretty much just name any store in St Nick's and it's good. Sausage and Mash place has gone now though

Urban Burger do a decent burger but again, it's way overpriced.

The last time I went to Five Guys it was shit. The bun was wafer thin and the whole thing just fell apart. The drinks dispensers all seemed to be out of gas too so all the drinks came out flat. They had one of those feedback things on the receipt so I filled it out and their reply was basically 'Nothing to see here but here's a voucher for a free drink to shut you up'.
Fuck Five Guys (ooer)

I went to Wingstop (8/10) the other day. It's the only fast food place I've been to that gives you disposable gloves!! |

I used to like Five Guys, but I went last week, and yeah, the bun's not even heated up so it just fell apart under all the toppings. Was just holding onto meat (heeeeey) by the end of it. In N Out still the king. |

I've heard of them, just not eaten in many as a) don't have many where I live and b) I don't like burgers which wipes out loads anyway.

I’ve heard of them, I like burgers, but I don’t see the point of paying more than McDonalds or Burger King for the same shit food
I am a big fast food fan, I love it, but I try my best to limit it, however
Subway - maybe once a month
McDonalds - 3 or 4 times a year
Burger King - 2 or 3 times a year
Nando’s - 4 or 5 times a year
KFC - 1 or 2 times a year
Pizza Hut - 1 or 2 times a year
Wing Fat (my local Chinese takeaway) - 5 or 6 times a year
They are all about as good/bad as each other except Wing Fat which is 10 out of 10

You don’t… like… burgers? Nope (beef burgers anyway). It's a texture thing. I am aware this makes me odd. |

I'm not big on eggs or seafood either. Especially the latter. But I'll demolish a burger.
