Safety measures include two-metre social distancing guidelines, floor markings and perspex screens at the counters.
Customers will also be encouraged to order alone to avoid large groups queueing, with contactless payments being the preferred method.
Five Guys has remained open for takeway, click and collect and home delivery via Deliveroo throughout the latest lockdown.
It recently also launched a “curbside” service, which allows customers to make an order through to the app.
Five Guys then tracks where you are and prepares your food in time for when you drive up to the branch.
John Eckbert, chief executive of Five Guys UK said: “We’re so excited to have alfresco dining back on offer at Five Guys.
“We have some of the best terraces in the business ready to welcome customers to sit down, relax, and tuck into a Five Guys with all your favourite (free!) toppings.”
Five Guys closed the majority of its branches in March due to coronavirus, but then gradually reopened for takeaway and delivery services.
