Five Guys - Burgers and Fries - Cardiff Newport

Cardiff locals with a serious burger craving know exactly where to find Five Guys on Newport Road. This American-born chain, holding a solid 4.3/5 from over 500 reviews on Just Eat, has built its reputation on uncompromising simplicity. The place doesn't do gimmicks – it does towering, hand-formed patties with a famously long list of free toppings. Each burger comes wrapped in foil, the steam puffing out as you unwrap it, and the smell alone is enough to make your stomach growl. With a top-notch Food Hygiene Rating, it's clear they take quality as seriously as the beef itself.

The magic here is in the details: the beef is fresh, never frozen, and the fries are cut daily from whole potatoes, then cooked twice for that perfect crunch. You'll find classics like the Bacon Cheeseburger and the Little Hamburger, but the real hero is the customisation – pile on grilled mushrooms, jalapeños, or their signature smoky BBQ sauce. The portions are generous, so consider sharing the fries unless you're ravenous. Whether you're ordering for a late-night fix or a weekend treat, this spot delivers the kind of messy, satisfying burger that makes you forget about diet plans entirely. Just be prepared for the inevitable napkin shortage.
