"For the past year or so, my go-to Five Guys order has been a cheeseburger with grilled jalapeños, onions, and mustard. But recently, I noticed that the brand's website highlights a handful of favorite burger builds under its Popular Picks section. The topping combos sounded too good to ignore, so I decided to give them each a try and rank them worst to best - it was high time I branched out from my usual order anyway."
"Five Guys' Bacon & BBQ burger features bacon, barbecue sauce, grilled onions, and lettuce. I was really looking forward to trying this one because bacon and barbecue sauce is one of my favorite pairings on burgers, loaded fries, meatloaf, pizza, you name it. And that's why the first bite was such a letdown. To start, there was hardly any barbecue sauce on my burger."
A burger enthusiast who frequents Five Guys typically orders a cheeseburger with grilled jalapeños, onions, and mustard. Five Guys' Popular Picks presents several topping combinations that were sampled and ranked from worst to best based on taste, juiciness, texture, and wow factor. The Bacon & BBQ combines bacon, barbecue sauce, grilled onions, and lettuce but lacked adequate barbecue sauce and moisture, and the available sauce tasted flat and bland. The chain's signature well-done beef patty leaned dry across samples, making sauce and toppings' quality crucial to overall enjoyment.
