The second Five Guys location in Kuwait is going to open in Salmiya on Salem Mubarek Street, opposite Galleria 2000 [Map]. This means that strip of street will now have the following burger places:
BGR The Burger Joint
Fat Burger
Five Guys
Johnny Rockets
Shake Shack
Smash Burger
Steak & Shake
The only franchise thats missing on that street now is Elevation Burger.

Considering the rate at which burger joints are opening in Kuwait, it’s not too far when there will be more burger places than bakalas.
And yet the best one of the lot just had to shut down – Burgerfuel. FML.
Thanks, Kuwait.
is burger fuel the one that was open next to SNKR in bida’a? I didn’t like their burger.
Yes it was. I’ll be honest, I haven’t personally tried their beef burgers because I’m not a meatie, I only had their veg burgers and I loved those.
Everyone I know though who had their beef burgers loved them.
Their patty was basically from the frozen section of a co-op.
A food coop in Berkeley.
Tried their burgers before, did’t like them, they wouldn’t be from Berkeley since the franchise is originally from New Zealand.
You didn’t get it.
must be the frozen meat 😀
Not fan of Five guys, didnt like their food.
if but there is two i want to try out which is FatBurger and Steak and Shake, never tried them.
Not as Gd as you would expect them to be..drop ur expectations and you won’t be dissapointed lol
on bright side they don’t serve thine layer burger like mcD.. u know.
however need to get it crossed from my checklist
Hey mark
I use your app and for some reason the pictures don’t show up. Just thought you should know. It’s been like that for a few days.
the app was discontinued like 2 or 3 years ago, i’m surprised you still have it, i don’t even have it!
I use the app…. it would really be great if it can be updated… please
There is no app, it was removed from the store a few years ago
Oh really? Haha I had no idea! I open it almost everyday. It’s great 🙂
I vote to change the street name to Salem Muburger Street
Hahahaha
I would approve this change
To be honest I tried a regular single patty burger with the full works…I was disappointed. Ive eaten five guys burgers in UK and Canada and the size of the burgers were titanic! Here in Kuwait, they seemed small, tasty, but small.
Anyone else had this problem?
Only burgers worth mentioning is Five Guys and Elevation burger, The Counter burger was one of the good ones, shame it shut down, beef was nice, you could choose from a long list of toppings, missed it so much had to stop in Miami airport to have one before coming back last trip.
I tried The Counter once, and while I did like the concept, the service was very awkward for me; The waitresses kept asking me if I wanted a drink like 3 times and I repeatedly said no, and their burgers were awful! I told them to make mine well done and when I got home, it was undercooked! And when I tried cooking it in the oven for like 5 minutes, the whole thing burned to a crisp and smelled like chemicals! And their whole advertising campaign was that they didnt use any chemicals or antibiotics, what an outrageous lie! Can’t say I’m surprised they went belly up in Kuwait :/
Classic Burger is my #1 right now. Just pitching in =D
Odd that they’re opening a new location. Everyone I know that’s tried it told me it was overpriced garbage.
5guys is currently the best burger place in Kuwait. however it’s kinda expensive because it costs exactly the same as the dollar amount lol. The single patty with fries and coke is around $5 and in kuwait it’s around 5KD. That’s a major and blatant ripoff price.
In the US a cheeseburger, regular fries with regular coke will cost you $12.57 (KD3.80) https://www.insidefortlauderdale.com/menus/fiveguys_menu.jpg
In the UK a cheeseburger, regular fries with regular coke will cost you £13.25 (KD4.95) https://thenottinghamfoodblog.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/photo3-1.jpg
In the UAE a cheeseburger, regular fries with regular coke will cost you AED74 (KD6) https://www.in-dubai.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/five-guys-dubai-menu-prices.jpg
So KD5 would make it cheaper than Dubai and similar to the UK. Doesn’t seem like a ripoff.
and im the only Kuwaiti in the country whose never been to that strip.
That’s the street I’ll have to live on then, so much for planning a healthy lifestyle..
you really cannot say five guys is the best burger joint in da street since shake shack is there, always the same cooking method, same bun, same cooking lvl (medium) same seasoning, juiciness, taste same every time, taste good and won’t make you feel sad for it
i tried five guys many times, in kuwait and dubai, every time i tried it my stomach start grinding like cement machine if you know what i mean, maybe because their oil or something idk.. i won’t try it again that is for sure
