You won't see the combo listed on any menu, but asking for a grilled cheese burger will unlock a new favorite Five Guys dish. The delicious patty melt is a common menu item for diners and basic restaurants, but not so commonly seen at fast food giants like Wendy's or McDonald's.
But thanks to this relatively secret menu item, you can get a fast food patty melt at any Five Guys location. Why ask for a grilled cheese burger at Five Guys?
