Shake Shack, Shake Stack Burger: 9/10

  • An American fast food chain burger experience with a touch of finesse.
  • More polished than it's imported rival Five Guys, Shake Shack delivers a fun, slightly cutesy casual dining range with some innovative twists.
  • An excellent invention, the 'Shroom Burger is a crisp-fried portobello mushroom filled with melted cheese, and is offered as an add-on to the house cheeseburger to create the best item on the menu, the Shake Stack Burger.
  • Unimaginative fries however, crinkle cut with or without cheese.
  • Novel range of custard-based drinks and deserts to complete your All-American meal.

Five Guys, Bacon Cheeseburger: 9/10

  • This American import is a cult fast food burger, which you will either passionately love, or vehemently hate!
  • Built-to-order with your selection of (free) fresh toppings, from a choice of lettuce, onions, tomatoes, pickles, green peppers, jalapeno peppers, mushrooms, relish, BBQ sauce and other standard condiments.
  • You won't find any brioche buns, dry-aged beef, or mature continental cheese at this joint, but Five Guys delivers exactly what you'd expect: a best-in-class, casual dining hamburger.
  • Beware/embrace the overly generous Five Guy Style Fries portion size!

The Diner, The Diablo: 7/10

  • You're starving, you need a massive protein hit, and quite frankly, quality takes a backseat to quantity! The Diner's signature burger sorts you out with it's 8 oz. patty, loaded with streaky bacon, thick US cheese and chunky bun. 
  • The usual suspects topping-wise (sliced pickles, red onion, beef tomato, lettuce) plus the special Diablo burger sauce (basically chutney). Standard french fries.
  • A decent chain offering, comparable to Burger Craft rather than Five Guys - convenient and satisfying!
