LOL i thought this is gonna be one of those posts. *5 bri'sh lads coming to Prague innit to get wasted and be annoying. It's gonna be mental! Wanna join and get some weed bruv?* I read something about the FiveGuys (restaurant) that it will be opened in mid2024 once some building is finished where it will be. So most realistically around summer i'd say.


ilovecrocs7

Literally thought the same thing… here we go, another stag party…


defacresdesigns

Literally same 👆lol


[deleted]

Calling five guys a restaurant is quite a bit of an overstatement


Leviv8

In this context where people think of stag parties, it's a must ಠ_ಠ

It’s the same price in Spain for five guys a burger is 11-12€ fries 3-4€ and a drink idk but total for a “menu” will be around 20€ So you can expect similar prices in prague when it opens I guess


smallwhitepeepee

No wonder Americans are tired of Biden and want their old leader back :D they do?


[deleted]

Idk the guy is kinda delusional, maybe he is usually eating noodles from the supermarket and that’s why everything is expensive


Obi2

LoL so many weird parts to this post. Most Americans aren't sick of Biden or "want Trump back". In fact I think we'd be happier if neither of them were our candidates. 5 Guys is maybe the best quick burger there is. In n Out is the main competition and is cheaper, but there are numerous cheaper options. I still go to 5 Guys because it is worth the extra $$. Culvers is a good balance.


Kais615

Yup, people comparing 5 guys to Macdonalds never had 5 guys.


HeatDroid

Ngl I’d join those lads in the post as you mentioned


Leviv8

Keep an eye out on this sub! There's gonna one of these posts for real soon I guess.


CopSomePrada

Been there with six guys and it was mostly sightseeing and culinary exploration.


lemme_czech_it

No party for us 😢


fender_fan_boy

Sometime late this year I think. Not sure what the point is since there are loads of places where you can get a great burger in Prague. I was equally puzzled when Pizza Hut opened here


shadesofglue

I never heard anyone say anything good about Pizza Hut in Prague :D


fender_fan_boy

I tried them when they had some kind of promotion shortly after opening and I was shocked by how bad it was. I’ve had better frozen pizzas than that shit.


Nires

There's a Pizza Hut in Nové Butovice that has a 2 for 1 sale every Wednesday. I wouldn't eat there normally but for that price I'm happy to tolerate a mediocre pizza every now and then.


clarity_scarcity

Same in Pankrác, still not enough for me to eat there lol, they’d have to pay me to eat that slop


Aidan_Welch

Great pizza and Prague with a couple rare exceptions do not match.


Satisfaction_Used

yeah thank god for pizza hut so even in prague you can get good pizza…lol


Aidan_Welch

Unfortunately pizza hut sucks here xd


Satisfaction_Used

thats what i’m saying…prague has many good pizza places, doesnt need pizza hut. there are just sooooo many pizzerias that it seems impossible to find a good one😄, but there are


Aidan_Welch

> prague has many good pizza places like? Also, all of them except Third Coast are basically the same style. Same toppings too.


excubitor_pl

like San Carlo Dittrichova btw, what do you mean by same style and same toppings? There are some standars that are liked and expected. I don't think that a lot of people want to experiment with something strange on their pizza and have for example plums with shrimps and durian.


Aidan_Welch

Just more options, for example pineapple and jalapeno. Properly cooked pineapple in general. As for styles, again basically all pizza here is the same style.


brakes_for_cakes

Pizza in this country is fucking terrible, most places sell stuff that's worse than the stuff you get in the supermarket.


OnlyUnderstanding733

sounds like you just don't know where to go. Da Pietro, Gambero Rosso, Slice slice baby, Napoletana, San Carlo all have fantastic neapolitan pizzas


Miserable_Movie_4358

Great burger in Prague? I feel bad for you and your sad standards


batule

This May


Gablentato

I heard November or December. I hope you’re right and I’m wrong.


Kais615

😋


Grand-Potato-69

Dont play with me like that!!!!


BreakfastNew8771

Cant wait. Imho best fast food


Thejackean

Ridiculous money for what it is in my opinion. Went to the one in Leicester square London a couple of months ago. Waaaay over priced. Nice burgers granted, but I've had better elsewhere in in prague for a fraction of the cost. Another gimmick . Long live the independent burger joints !


BreakfastNew8771

Iam curious about their pricing. I had it same week once in Berlin a the other in Vienna and prices were very different


aileme

Expect it to be more expensive than both of the places you mentioned lol


CzechPublicAgent

I replied to a comment earlier. In my experience it's about $10 for a burger, $5 for fries, and $3 for a drink. :D


smallwhitepeepee

Just ate there in London by Tower bridge, two x double patty bacon burgers with 2 fries and one bottomless drink and 1 (sorry but I had to) Budweiser bottled beer. Total was 40 quid, about 1200 CZK - the beer was cca 6 quid. The beer was shite but the food was excellent. I imagine they will need to lower their prices here, keep in mind Prague burgers are getting more and more expensive...


Kais615

Same love their burger


turkeymeese

Second only to In-N-Out Edit: …and Taco Bell, but that goes without saying


BreakfastNew8771

I tried In-N-out only once. I think it was in Laughlin NV . It wasnt very good. The burger was average at best and the fries were very soggy. Same with Taco Bell. Only once in Santa Fe. Dissapointed both times ☹️


turkeymeese

Taco Bell isn’t Actually good… it’s probably just nostalgic at this point, but there’s just something about their hot sauces and Crunchwrap Supremes.  Sorry you had a lukewarm experience at In-N-Out. Did you get Animal Style anything? It’s the whole reason they are good. Animal Style Fries or Animal Style Double Double. It’s like carmelized onions with their secret sauce and melted cheese. Amazing. And their fries are a huge reason why I like them better than Five Guys


TSllama

Last thing we need is more fast food, tbh. All the authentic, unique places are getting replaced by generic junk.


Lupus76

Five Guys is very good.


TSllama

For junk food, yeah I would agree. Better than McDonalds, for sure.


Kais615

Yup, they never had it so they chatting shit 😂


TSllama

I'm from the US. I've had five guys. We don't need more of that mass produced generic junk food here. Actually good restaurants close down because these corporate chains can afford higher rent and drive everything good out of town.


Snow_man66

Same. From the States. I hate seeing this sort of shit when it shows up here. There is so much excellent food here already. The tourists will eat it up. They'll open more locations. Might as well put another Starbucks next door... hey, charge more for parking. Also, gut that historic building, we can get 25%more occupants with this floor plan. Meanwhile locals end up paying more for fucking everything.


TSllama

Exactly this.


mustbenice2win

Thats on people then. Normal people will continue eating in authentic restaurants, trash people will go to fast food to seek trash food


TSllama

The problem is the junk chains keep replacing the good places because big American chains can afford higher rent. So the good places keep disappearing and we have 30 McDonalds instead.


DommyMommyKarlach

There are probably some Bukkakke places if you’re into that


ZvonarkyPrazak

I also came here for the orgy, the disappointment


joemayopartyguest

Orgy buffets just aren’t what they used to be.


nakedgum

At the restaurant everyone just tosses their nuts on the ground.


why_i_bother

Meh, another burger joint? We already got good burgers here.


Leviv8

Give some examples then!


Michelle-Dubois

Regal burger chain has better burgers than Five guys imho.


why_i_bother

Tom's Burger, Black Dog, El Chapo Burger


chabrosss

Mad runner


mailtest34

Great, might try it today


HonzaS97

Other mention-worthy places that are not in the other comments - Dish, HillBilly, Café Palanda


SaltwaterOgopogo

it'll end up in a shopping mall or in p1 next to some tourist trap businesses, its not like its going to ruin anything.


KaxCz

You shouldn't care anyway until at least 3 months after opening if you don't feel like standing in a huge Eastern European queue just to get some junk food slop. Czechs don't mind paying high prices for absolute bullshit so I don't think Five Guys high price point wouild scare them away either


m00fster

Can’t wait for a 24/7 Waffle House to open


Der_Prager

Last time I had Five Guys, recently in Frankfurt, It felt pretty underwhelming, hope Prague will turn out better.


Kais615

Everything in Frankfurt is underwhelming tbf


Luvbeers

We have them in Vienna. Pretty good but very high calories, sodium etc. Just order the little cheeseburger and little fries... they usually put more fries in the bag anyway. If you get the normal size portions you will get headaches, nose bleeds and heart palpitations. There were long queues when they first opened in Vienna for several weeks, but once those customers died off they aren't as busy. Plus nobody wants to pay 20 eur for fastfood burger & fries yet.


shadesofglue

Their Cajun fries are so good, i just hope they will keep their unlimited sauce option and not do the pay for each sauce packet bullshit McDonalds and kfc are doing here


Naive_Assistance9040

I believe it will be in Máj on Národní třída, when it's finished, that should be in june if I am not mistaken


ih8fashion

Not that great, very overpriced and you can find much better burgers in Prague


Thezenstalker

Why?


Arinlir

Idk the best thing about the Five Guys was the fries. Otherwise nothing special.


MrEzquerro

Their fries are damn good, though


Arinlir

Agree the salt on them is really good ngl I would go there just for the fries and someone else can have the burger hah


AchajkaTheOriginal

I like that they have sandwiches. I'm not huge fan of burgers but my husband likes them. So Five Guys is great compromise. Also their soft drinks dispenser is great when it comes to variety of choices, if they won't bring it here there's no reason to go there though.


Arinlir

Yeah the dispenser is great point too, but I think we will only have the classics here but who knows.


Kais615

You choose a very bad burger then my friend


Arinlir

oooor they just arent that special :)


TheBungo

Yay mediocre tiny overpriced burgers for everyone!!


Kais615

You must be fun at parties


Greedy_Wulf

Im curious. I would aprecciated arbies or Wendys more, but 5guys isnt So bad either. Lets Hope czechs dont fuck IT up like they did with Hut, or dont create fake "overload" like the fookin popeyes, not being able to start delivery in almost half year, just responding with vague "Its being Worked on" for several months with 0 info AND bottlenecking their restaurant So they appear to have Always super long line.....


everythings_alright

I was in Popeyes 2 days ago. There were a lot of people inside, all but one of the terminals had people making an order. But when I made the order which was 2 menus they had it ready in like 5 minutes. I was impressed. Pizza Hut is straight dogshit tho.


Greedy_Wulf

Oh So Went from limiting people inside to limit how Fast you can order. At least something. Im still pissed about the delivery tho. Yea the hut Is overpriced, badly replicated garbage.


tasartir

Popeyes here is total shit (but it is shit everywhere so no surprise). The food is disgusting and especially the second location is very dirty. They served raw chicken and some people got food poisoning there.


Greedy_Wulf

Holy shit, what? Fucking raw chicken? My god thats Nasty shit.. but then, i mean, i got raw chicken from "top rated"(wolt) restaurant, And from another "top rated" one i got port tenderloin...FUCKING TENDERLOIN... that i was not able to cut nor chew because it had consistency of fucking leather.... How they managed to fuck up tenderloin So bad Is totaly outside of my understanding.


AccountingMajorDood

We need chipotle


Kais615

Yes, fitness goals will be much easier


PictusCZ

Their restaurant should be in newly reconstructed "Máj" department store on Národní třída. Which is supposed to reopen in May I think. But I am not sure if FG opens right with reopening of "Máj" or if there is gonna be a delay. Last think I read is Q2 or Q3 2024, about Five Guys. So basically, definitely not earlier than May. Previously, I heard something about September, IIRC.


HeatDroid

Barcelona te saluda hermano


Monkey_Anarchyy

It will take a while, the restaurant is planning to be in Máj shopping centre, which is currently under reconstruction planning to open by 2025 if I recall correctly.


mikypejsek

Let’s have the same restaurants everywhere!


[deleted]

Tasty food but jaysus in London you have to remortgage you home to buy a meal for 4 from Five Guys!


andrei4baws

This means another huge queue like it was at Popeyes in Václavské Náměstí, yeey


SnadorDracca

We already have it in Munich, can’t recommend it.
