What is the Five Guys Grilled Cheese Burger?
Behold the Five Guys Grilled Cheese Burger, also known as the “grilled cheese cheeseburger,” is a fun “if you know, you know” creation that combines the franchise’s grilled cheese sandwich with a juicy burger patty.
Although not an official menu item, this hack has gained popularity among Five Guys’ fans, and it has a lot going for it. The custom order gives you twice the amount of cheese as a regular burger and perfectly toasted hamburger buns that are flipped on the flat side and then griddled until crispy and golden. A classic Five Guys cheeseburger is made by putting cold cheese on the cooked burger, so fans also like this hack because you get lots of melty cheese. And who can blame them? What’s a cheeseburger without melted cheese?

How to Order the Five Guys Grilled Cheese Burger
To bite into this deliciously cheesy sandwich, here’s what you do. Start by ordering a grilled cheese and ask to add a burger patty. If you want to double it up, add an extra patty. Then, of course, add your toppings. In one of the videos we saw on TikTok, the creator added mayo and grilled onions, which we think sounds like a pro move. Another person who tried it added bacon, which is a classic addition.
