"In a world of expensive extras, from guacamole on your burrito bowl to non-dairy milk in your coffee, one burger chain stands out among the rest for its generous policy regarding "extras," even when it comes to high-value items like bacon. Ever since Five Guys started giving out peanuts for free to help people pass the time while waiting for their burgers, we knew it wasn't your average fast food chain."
"According to Five Guys FAQ, if you place an order at one of its locations and ask for extra bacon, you will get it for free. There are, however, several catches. First, this (sadly) doesn't apply for online orders. If there was ever an incentive to go order a burger in person, this is it. But even if you do go to the chain, some locations have apparently not gotten the free bacon memo."
"In another post, some Redditors say that extra bacon is free, but if you add strips to a burger that doesn't already have it, you'll be charged. It's a subtle difference, but apparently, it has to do with two different ways to ring it up at the register: "extra" vs. "add." So asking for extra bacon on your bacon burger or bacon cheeseburger shouldn't cost you anything more, but if you were to add it to a regular cheeseburger, for example, you'd be charged."
Five Guys offers free extra bacon when customers request it at in-person locations for burgers that already include bacon. The free-extra-bacon policy does not apply to online orders. Some individual locations do not honor the free-bacon approach, so availability can vary by store. The distinction between free and charged bacon often depends on how staff ring the request: items rung as "extra" on an existing bacon burger are often free, while items rung as "add" to a burger without bacon typically incur a charge. Some customers report extra cheese sometimes follows the same practice.
