00:00Patty melts, sloppy joes, nacho fries, oh my, Five Guys has secret items you won't find
00:05on the menu, and Mashed wanted to know which one reigns supreme.
00:09The results may surprise you.
00:11Most people know and love Five Guys for their massive burgers, generous helpings of fries,
00:15and delicious shakes.
00:17But there are a lot of secret items that won't appear on the menu.
00:20Patty melts, double-grilled cheeseburgers, even sloppy joes are up for grabs.
00:24The Mashed team conducted a survey to find out which secret menu items the people are
00:27most excited about, and the results are in.
00:30First, the low scorers.
00:32Not as many people were excited about Five Guys' secret sloppy joe, with 10.98 percent
00:36of the vote, or the patty melt, with 14.02 percent.
00:40It's not strict science, but we'd guess that it's because you can get these classic sandwiches
00:44at any old lunch spot, rather than chance ordering them off the secret menu at Five
00:48Guys.
00:49While the Five Guys' patty melt is pretty much what you'd expect, a burger inside a
00:53Texas toast grilled cheese, it turns out their sloppy joe is anything but.
00:58Instead, it's a hamburger topped with grilled green peppers, grilled onions, ketchup, and
01:01barbecue sauce.
01:02It's none of that soupy ground beef you'd expect.
01:05The top choices, however, are a little more unexpected.
01:08The runner-up was a double-grilled cheeseburger, with 24.09 percent of the vote.
01:13This king of all sandwiches is a cheeseburger between two whole grilled cheeses.
01:17This thing is loaded and, apparently, very delicious.
01:20But the number one choice?
01:22Five Guys' nacho fries, boasting 25.46 percent of the vote.
01:26As you're likely guessing, these are the chain's famous double-fried fries, served
01:30in a foil container topped with gooey nacho cheese and any other ingredients of your choice,
01:35such as sliced jalapenos or crumbled bacon.
01:38Sure, your arteries won't thank you, but your taste buds will.
01:41While people are most excited to try the nacho fries from Five Guys, it looks like they could
01:45be hard to come by at most locations.
01:47Apparently, just a few stores are willing to serve them up for cheese lovers.
01:51However, anyone lucky enough to try the nacho fries can typically get them for 50 cents
01:55extra, or sometimes for free.
01:57The secret?
01:58Just ask for melted cheese on top of your normal fries order.
02:01As explained on Reddit, you may want to ask for your fries well-done, as this will create
02:06an extra-crispy base layer for the cheese.
02:09Adding bacon, chopped tomato, or even Cajun seasoning doesn't hurt either, Redditors say.
02:13To try the double-grilled cheeseburger from Five Guys, on the other hand, try ordering
02:17two grilled cheeses and asking for a burger patty in between the sandwiches.
02:21While pricing and availability will depend on location, the item will usually set you
02:25back about $3.49 for each grilled cheese and an extra $1.80 for each patty.
02:31As for the patty melt, that can be ordered by asking for a single grilled cheese sandwich
02:35with a burger patty and whatever ingredients you'd like in the middle.
02:38Other Five Guys secret menu items are more obscure, such as the jalapeno popper sandwich,
02:43a grilled cheese with jalapenos, extra cheese, and bacon.
02:47Anyone following a keto or other low-carb diet, meanwhile, may want to try ordering
02:51a Burger Bowl, which is a cooked patty with cheese and other toppings, all placed in a
02:55container and eaten with a fork.
02:57Feeling as hungry as a world leader?
02:59The Presidential Burger is allegedly what former United States President Barack Obama
03:03orders, and it's a normal cheeseburger with lettuce, mustard, jalapenos, and tomato.
03:08Other ravenous orderers can request the Artery Annihilator, which is, naturally, a cheeseburger
03:13containing both bacon and a sliced hot dog.
03:16Of course, not all locations will be able to make secret menu items, so come prepared
03:20with a backup order, just in case.
