How do you order your 5 GUYS

I have been eating a lot of 5G lately and am trying new menu combinations. Instead of my normal lettuce, tomatoes, mayo, I have recently tried grilled onions, mushrooms, and A-1 sauce. I think I may try ketchup, onions, and pickles to get a MCD burger taste. Does anyone order the hot dogs? (I have also ordered the basic burger in a lettuce wrap. Sometimes, it is good, others times a mess.)

I get it in a bowl sometimes with lettuce, pickles, mustard and onion. I got a hot dog once with relish and mustard. I just did an order yesterday. I got a burger in the bowl with mustard, relish, pickles and onions. It was delicious.

I get a cheeseburger once a month. On occasion, I will get a BLT. My regular order is a veggie bowl.

Little Burger Bowl with mustard, lettuce, tomato, grilled mushrooms, grilled jalapenos, extra pickles. If I am in Maryland where the burgers are under reimbursement I might get bacon putting it just a little over reimbursement.

Hotdog with mustard, pickles, and grilled jalapeno

I get the sloppy joe hack with grilled green peppers, grilled onions, ketchup, and BBQ sauce. The hot dogs are okay. They butterfly them and serve them on hamburger buns.

My hotdogs have always been served on hotdog buns.

I love their hot dogs, I don't know why. I don't really like hot dogs but theirs I like. I have tried many different things, I have had a grilled cheese with bacon, a BLT, a veggie burger (which I did not love) and a regular cheeseburger with various toppings depending on my mood. I wouldn't eat there if I weren't being paid and reimbursed. I wouldn't go there just to go there, I can think of better places to eat for that price.

My usual is a small cheeseburger with grilled green peppers, ketchup, mustard, mayo, lite grilled onions, tomato, lettuce and sometimes, mushrooms and sometimes, pickles. I've had a bowl too and make it like a salad all mixed up. If I'm especially hungry, I'll get the regular sized burger and then I regret it 'cause I'm overfull. One in a while I'll get a hot dog with mustard, cheese and relish, green peppers and sometimes mushrooms.

Little burger, tomatoes, green peppers, pickles, mustard. I get the bun, but I only eat the bottom. Little fries, sometimes Cajun, and I get ginger ale at the freestyle fountain. It's been almost a year since I've done a 5 guys shop.

Bowls aren't on the menu where I live.

Cheeseburger, all the way minus ketchup and lettuce, add hot sauce. Maybe next time I'll go with A1 instead!

Have synthesizers, will travel...

Well bonused shop: Little hamburger with tomatoes, pickles and mustard or little burger with tomatoes, lettuce, grilled onions in a bowl.
Lesser bonus: Hot dog with relish and mustard, grilled cheese with tomato and mustard, BLT, or veggie sandwich with cheese and hot sauce.

Grilled cheese with a patty added. It's $2 less than a little cheeseburger and for whatever reason so much better. I learned this 'hack' on TikTok.

I don't really care for the fries anymore. I used to love them but they just don't do it for me these days. So, I eat one for eval purposes and end up trashing the rest.

I just marked my burger as soggy. The report then came back and said if I ordered onions or mushrooms, I could not mark it as soggy.

Yeah, somewhere in the instructions or on the report it says that.

I do not and never will work for the MSC that contracts this shop. When 5 G's moves on over to the Big I I'll answer the OP's question.

On the report, what do you say you ordered, a cheeseburger or grilled cheese, or "other." Have you had any pushback from the company or have the reports been accepted with no problem? I think I'd love to get one of these sandwiches and have read about them somewhere as being their "secret menu item." I just wasn't sure what to call it on the report.

My advice is to look at the receipt. Whatever it is labeled as on the receipt is IMHO what should be reported. That should make it simple and unremarkable.

Little burger with A1, mustard, tomatoes, raw onions, and grilled onions (both).

They aren't on the menu where I live, either, but I get them often. You can ask for a veggie bowl and they likely will make one for you.

I click grilled cheese as the selection and then at the end of the report in the comments I just add the remark that I added a patty to it. So far, so good.

I read somewhere it's supposed to be cheaper ordering this way than ordering a cheeseburger. When I compared here it wasn't.

Supposed to just flip the bun inside out for the grilled cheese.

A little burger all the way but no mayo. Half the time on a bun and half as a lettuce wrap (which usually turns it into a knife and fork sandwich). If I get a hot dog it's topped with mustard, pickle relish, and raw onions.

I do a happy dance when I walk into a new-to-me location and see that they have a Freestyle soda machine.

Hope you use a napkin or gloves when using that Freestyle soda machine. No telling where people's hands have been before they used that touch screen.

Probably slightly fewer than touched the door, the counter in front of the register, the ketchup pump, etc.

It's less at mine and you get more cheese.

I have noticed quite a few places with the table kiosks (TRH, BJs, RL) that aren't sanitizing the devices that they are trying to force us to use. I try to mention this in every report under the cleanliness section.

Theres a lot of things if you check, you then have to go back and uncheck because that situation is "acceptable" I really despise the report form, it takes so much longer than other reports I do.

In my area it's more expensive by $0.80 doing it this way.

However if you want a BLT, you'll save money by ordering a Veggie Sandwich and adding Bacon, cheaper by $1.40.

Go figure ????
