I tried grilled cheese sandwiches from Sonic, Shake Shack, and Five Guys. My favorite was also the least expensive.
Briefly

Sonic's grilled cheese proved messy with cheese oozing from the sides but remained full-size and toasted well. The bread was thick and spongy, producing a homemade grilled-cheese impression with a good balance of cheese and toasted bread. The cheese had a slightly artificial taste typical of American cheese, yet the sandwich stayed satisfying and worth the price. Five Guys' grilled cheese was noticeably smaller and disappointing. At $7, the Five Guys sandwich cost more than double Sonic's price while delivering neither twice the quality nor twice the size. Sonic provides better value for fast-food grilled cheese.
Sonic's sandwich was the messiest of the bunch, with a decent amount of cheese oozing out of the sides of the bread. However, the sandwich was full-size and toasted well. The bread was thick and spongy, and although the cheese definitely had a slightly artificial taste (as American cheese tends to, in my opinion), this was a satisfying sandwich that was 100% worth the money.
The sandwich tasted like a homemade grilled cheese, with a good balance of cheese and toasted bread. However, it seemed to be much smaller than Sonic's offering, leaving me disappointed. The only problem I had with Five Guys' sandwich was the price tag. At $7, it cost more than double that of the grilled cheese from Sonic, and was neither twice as good nor twice as big.
