The Special Topping Extras You Can Actually Get For Free At Five Guys
By Kelly Douglas
Almost all chain restaurants have their own secret menus and little-known hacks to help make your meal cheaper (and more delicious), including Five Guys. They offer a wide variety of burger toppings, and you can even get some of these toppings for free — you just need to know exactly what to ask for.
For extra cheese, order a cheeseburger and ask for extra cheese, and you’ll wind up with twice as much since it already comes with cheese. For extra bacon, the process is similar; order a bacon burger and ask for extra, which will leave you with twice the bacon without having to pay anything more.
The process is similar for hot dogs: By ordering a cheese dog with cheese as an additional topping, you’ll get double the cheese. If you order a bacon cheese dog, you can order cheese and bacon as additional toppings to get extra helpings of both at absolutely no additional cost.
