Five Guys is a fast food chain that seems to follow the philosophy of focusing on doing a few things really well. Their menu has a few core elements—mainly burgers, hot dogs, fries, and shakes—and they stick with what they do best, avoiding the pitfalls of trying to branch out and add too many wildly different things to the mix.
But that doesn’t mean the menu is boring. Far from it, in fact. One of the things the chain’s fans love about Five Guys is that there's a lot of room to customize your order, thanks to the wide array of add-ons, toppings, mix-ins and condiments.
To help you dial in your next order, we did a deep dive into the Five Guys secret menu to help you make your next burger run one to remember.

15 Best Five Guys Secret Menu Items and How to Order Them
This one involves a few steps—and will go much more smoothly if you get a helpful staff member. You start by ordering a chopped Little Bacon Cheeseburger with no bun, plus your favorite toppings on the side. Next, you order a little fry. Then, ask for a tin foil container. Put the fries in the container, then add the chopped cheeseburger, and finally pile on the toppings you chose. Now you’ve got loaded French fries!
This is a great option for sharing with a friend or two—maybe you’ll each want to create your own variation then try one another's creation.
2. Grilled Cheese Cheeseburger
@rickloxThe viral Grilled Cheese Burger from Five Guys ??? #foodie #foodreview #grilledcheese #burger #fiveguys #foodtiktok
♬ Mozart Eine Kleine Nachtmusik - ViolinThis combo combines two of our faves: a grilled cheese sandwich and a cheeseburger. Needless to say, this one will be like heaven for those who firmly believe there’s no such thing as having too much cheese, as you get the ultimate in cheesy goodness.
Ordering the grilled cheese cheeseburger—sometimes also called a patty melt—is simple. Order a grilled cheese and request an added burger patty (or two patties, if you’re really hungry). Get creative with the toppings to put your personal stamp on it.

This is like a grilled cheese cheeseburger on steroids—so you’ll want to be sure you’re really hungry if you plan to order this mega sandwich. It’s like three cheesy sandwiches in one.
To order the double grilled cheeseburger at Five Guys, order two grilled cheese sandwiches and ask them to put a burger patty along with your chosen toppings in between them. This is one of those YMMV (your mileage may vary) hacks, because you won’t always find staff willing to do it, so this may only be available at certain locations.
4. Extra Crispy Fries
As you can probably guess, this involves just asking for your fries to be cooked longer so they get extra crispy. This is one of those hacks that will largely depend on how cooperative—or busy—the staff at your Five Guys location is because this takes more time and will slow down their turnaround time.

Fresh start to the year, with a veggie sandwich ? ? ? #fiveguysuk #veggiesandwich #fiveguysburgersandfries ♬ original sound - Five Guys Burgers & Fries
Admittedly, the vegetarian options at Five Guys are a bit skimpy. They do have a veggie sandwich—what one TikToker calls an “OLT” because it has onions, lettuce, and tomatoes—but you can also create another option. Ask for a BLT, but with grilled mushrooms instead of bacon. (I guess that would make this an MLT?)
6. Bacon Milkshake
Many people love to customize their Five Guys milkshakes. You have a bunch of options—and you can mix and match and create unique creations by playing around with various combinations of shake mix-ins and toppings. The bacon variety is one that people seem to love or hate—there’s not a lot of middle ground here. We think this is one that you should try at least once.
Unlike some of the other Five Guys hacks, ordering the bacon milkshake is pretty simple: you just order a shake with the bacon mix-in. It's that easy!

7. Burger Bowl
Here’s a handy hack if you're trying to limit your carbs or just aren’t in the mood for a bun—ask for a burger with no bun, served in a bowl. Make sure to specify that you want all the toppings. Going as heavy as possible on toppings and condiments is the key to making this meal tasty and filling. If you chop the burger into pieces, you can create a delicious salad-like dish.
Five Guys offers plenty of opportunities to put your spin on their shakes, thanks to all the flavorings and mix-ins. For this one, ask for a vanilla milkshake with peanut butter and chocolate, and then mix in some of the peanuts that are plentiful at Five Guys. If you like, you can also add some bacon or Oreo cookie bits. The end result is a delicious salty-sweet combination with plenty of crunch. 9. Chicago-Style Hot Dog
For those who have never been to a sporting event in the Windy City or otherwise have never heard of this frankfurter phenomenon, a Chicago-style hot dog is for people who love to pile just about everything on top of a hot dog—except ketchup. Never ketchup! You start with an all-beef hot dog in a poppy seed bun, then top it with yellow mustard, chopped onions, bright-green relish, tomato slices, a dill pickle spear, spicy sport peppers and celery salt.
Ordering a Chicago-style hot dog at Five Guys (or the closest you can get with what the chain has available to you) is a straightforward process: just ask for a hot dog with the specified toppings (tomatoes, pickles, hot sauce, mustard and green peppers). It’s a filling meal at a reasonable price!

10. Cajun Burger
Here’s one for people who crave a little taste of the Big Easy in their burgers. Someone on Reddit who claims to be a former Five Guys employee suggested asking for “Cajun Patties,” which involve smashing Cajun fry seasoning into the burger on both sides while it cooks. However, several commenters immediately jumped in to point out that employees aren’t allowed to do that – so it’s likely you will be unsuccessful if you request it.
But there’s an easy workaround. You can get a similar result by mixing Cajun seasoning with mayo and adding that to your burger and/or use it as a fry-dipping sauce.
This secret menu item reportedly got its name from the fact that it was Barack Obama’s go-to request at the DC-area locations of Five Guys. You might also think of this as a burger with some extra kick. To order it, just ask for a cheeseburger with lettuce, tomato, jalapeño peppers, and mustard. If you really want to set the scene, you could use your phone to play “Hail to the Chief” while you’re enjoying this spicy meal.12. In-and-Out Animal Style Burger
If you want to get the In-and-Out Burger experience but don’t live one, you can recreate one of their signature offerings at Five Guys. Order a cheeseburger and request grilled onions, lettuce, tomato, and pickles as toppings to make an animal-style-inspired burger. You can then whip up your own copycat version of In-and-Out sauce by mixing ketchup, mayo, and mustard, and slather that concoction on the burger.

Apparently originating when it was shared by one creative Reddit user, this has now become one of the most popular Five Guys menu hacks—at least, among those who can handle the heat. Start by asking for a bacon cheeseburger with extra bacon, along with grilled mushrooms, grilled onions, and mayo. Here’s where the hot part (and some sweetness) comes in: you’ll also want to request jalapeños, hot sauce, and some A1 sauce. The end result is anything but bland.14. Sloppy Joe

As a big fan of sloppy joes since childhood, I’m especially excited about this Five Guys hack. Try it by ordering a burger topped with grilled green peppers, grilled onions, ketchup, & BBQ sauce (add hot sauce if you want to kick it up a notch).
DatsFire on TikTok says it’s “alarming” (in a good way) how close this hack tastes to a sloppy joe.
15. Artery Annihilator
This Five Guys menu hack sounds like it should come with some sort of warning label—and it’s definitely not for those who are counting calories. But fans say it’s the ultimate in greasy, decadent indulgence. Order a bacon cheeseburger and ask them to slice a hot dog in half and place it on top of the patty. Add on your favorite toppings, then slather on your go-to condiments to pull it all together.
