The U.K.'s top choice for fast food is the all-American Five Guys burger chain, according to a new consumer survey by Market Force Information.
This marks a meteoric rise for the burger joint, which launched in the U.K. less than three years ago. It now has more than 40 restaurants in the country and more are in the pipeline.
The survey said that Five Guys beat the competition with "exceptional performance ... in the food quality, cleanliness and staff friendliness categories."
"It's an amazing accolade to have become the nation's favorite restaurant in such a short space of time -- we're proud to be sharing the Five Guys love!" said John Eckbert, the U.K. head of Five Guys.
The chicken restaurant chain Nando's was knocked down to second place in the survey, followed by Gourmet Burger Kitchen, KFC and Burger King, which is owned by Restaurant Brands International (QSR).
