Five Guys Grilled Cheese Bacon Burger Hack

Pro tips

• Request the grilled cheese cooked until the bread is golden and crispy to support the weight of the beef patty without sogginess.
• Add pickles and mustard immediately after assembly to prevent the bread from becoming too moist while balancing the richness of melted cheese and bacon.
• Consider requesting extra bacon or a double patty if you want to amplify the savory elements beyond the standard grilled cheese base.

Substitutions

• Regular burger bun → grilled cheese (core swap that defines this hack)
• Cajun fries → regular fries or cajun seasoning on the side (if you find the standard Cajun version underwhelming)

How do you order a grilled cheese bacon burger at Five Guys?

Why would you choose this over a regular Five Guys burger?

The grilled cheese bun adds richness and structural support, while the bacon complements the melted cheese better than a standard burger bun in this configuration.

Are Five Guys Cajun fries worth ordering with this burger?

This particular combination found the fries underwhelming, so you may prefer a different side or standard fries instead.

Yellow mustard bridges the grilled cheese and beef well; pickles add acidity to cut through the richness.
