Five Guys doesn’t have a long history like McDonald’s or Burger King. However, this Washington fast-food chain still managed to assert itself in the fast food market thanks to great food, a simple menu, and unlimited free toppings.
The fact that you can get one or all of its 15 different toppings on a single menu item led to customers being quite creative and making up some intriguing combinations. The best of them stuck around and made it to Five Guys’ secret menu, which is now one of the best in business. Here are some of the best secret menu items you should try during your next visit.
Presidential Burger
The history of this secret menu item is quite cool. The story is that former U.S. President Barack Obama came to Five Guys, one of his favorite fast food spots, and ordered a cheeseburger with lettuce, tomatoes, jalapenos, and mustard as toppings. Of course, the order became quite popular and is now an “official” secret menu item that you can get at any location.
Double Grilled Cheese Burger
If you really want an over-the-top order, then a Double Grilled Cheese Burger is a way to go. It swaps the buns with two grilled cheese sandwiches and results in a fast-food masterpiece. If the staff at your local Five Guys don’t know what you are talking about, simply order two grilled cheeses and a “bunless burger,” and then do the mashup yourself.
Patty Melt
Five Guys’ Patty Melt is simple yet efficient. It is actually a grilled cheese sandwich with a burger patty inside. Don’t forget to ask the staff to include some grilled onions to make it even more enjoyable.
Breaking Windy City Dog
Finally, the Breaking Windy City Dog will change the way you look at Five Guys’ hot dogs. This item comes with an all-beef dog that has been split open and grilled. It is then packed in a hot dog bun and topped with pickles, tomatoes, relish, green peppers, mustard, Cajun seasoning, and hot sauce.
