Five Guys Secret Menu

Five Guys has no official secret menu, but staff happily build custom orders. Popular off-menu hacks include the Grilled Cheeseburger, Burger Bowl (bunless), Cheese Fries, Cajun-style fries, the Patty Melt, and loading on any free toppings.

Grilled Cheeseburger

How to order: Order a grilled cheese and a plain Little burger, then slide the patty between the grilled cheese (or ask them to build it).

A beef patty sandwiched inside a buttery grilled cheese instead of a bun. Rich, gooey, and indulgent.

Burger Bowl (Bunless Burger)

How to order: Ask for any burger 'in a bowl' or lettuce-wrapped, no bun, with your toppings on top.

All the patties and free toppings minus the bun. The go-to low-carb and keto-friendly hack.

Cheese Fries

How to order: Order fries and ask for melted cheese on top (sometimes free, sometimes about 50 cents extra).

Five Guys' fresh-cut fries smothered in melted American cheese. Not on the board but easy to get.

Cajun-Style Anything

How to order: Ask for Cajun seasoning on your fries, burger, or hot dog.

Cajun fries are technically listed, but you can request the spicy Cajun seasoning on almost any item.

Patty Melt

How to order: Ask for a burger patty added to a grilled cheese (now an official item at many locations).

Started as a famous hack and became so popular Five Guys added it to the real menu.

Loaded Hot Dog / Bacon Cheese Dog

How to order: Order a hot dog and pile on any free toppings plus bacon and cheese.

The split-and-griddled all-beef dog dressed like a burger. Toppings are free, so go wild.

All-the-Way Burger

How to order: Ask for your burger 'all the way' to get every standard free topping.

Mayo, lettuce, pickles, tomato, grilled onions, grilled mushrooms, ketchup and mustard in one bite.

Double-Dip Fry Scoop

How to order: No request needed in-store; check the bottom of the bag.

Not a secret recipe but a known perk: staff over-fill the bag with an extra scoop of fries on top of your order.

Five Guys secret menu FAQ

Does Five Guys have an official secret menu?

No. Five Guys has no printed secret menu. These are customizations and combinations regulars order. Because every topping is free and burgers are made to order, staff can build almost anything you ask for.

How do I order Five Guys secret menu items?

Just describe what you want at the counter. Ask for a Grilled Cheeseburger, a Burger Bowl, cheese on your fries, or a fully loaded dog. Be specific and friendly; most locations will make it without issue.

Are secret menu items more expensive?

Usually only slightly. Toppings are always free, so a loaded burger costs the same. Cheese fries may add about 50 cents, and a Grilled Cheeseburger costs roughly the price of a grilled cheese plus a Little burger.
