Not Culver's — Fans Flock To This Burger Chain For 'The Best Grilled Cheese' Of Their Lives

When you're thinking about finding a mouth-watering grilled cheese, stuffed with melted cheese, a few establishments may come to mind. Culver's, with its grilled cheese on sourdough, might be an immediate stop for some, but other cheese lovers searching for the ultimate comfort order have found solace in Five Guys.

Though the chain might be better known for its burgers and fries, the grilled cheese is an item that one customer called "a game-changer for all the cheese lovers out there" on Instagram, with another driving to the restaurant just to satisfy their cravings. Instead of typical bread, the restaurant pairs grilled sesame seed buns with melted American cheese to deliver an order that has customers raving about the sammy online, with one even calling it "the best grilled cheese I have ever had IN MY LIFE" on Reddit.

Customers looking for a fast food option for vegetarians appreciate the burger alternative, and regulars have voiced their appreciation of a genuinely well-made grilled cheese on Instagram. One happy customer wrote "Nothing added in, just cheese," adding, "Kudos to you, Five Guys." This sandwich has been described as so delicious that some fans have been trying to recreate the recipe at home. 

These grilled cheese sandwiches can be customized with customers' choices of ingredients stacked between pieces of inverted mayo-slathered burger buns. One happy Redditor suggested adding added burger patty, tomato slice, bacon, grilled onions, or mushrooms. Another customer showed their indulgent grilled cheese order, chomping down on a creation of a double burger inside of a grilled cheese sandwich. Five Guys has taken notice of customers' proclivities and added a Patty Melt to its menu after noticing customers were regularly asking for an off-menu grilled cheese made with a patty.

Though the grilled cheese sandwich at Five Guys has been noted as being pricey (Five Guys has had burger lovers wondering if the menu is worth the cost), those who are fans of the chain's cheesy culinary creations are adamant about their choices. "I worked at Five Guys for a while and my absolute favorite thing to eat there after I was SICK of making beef patties was a cheese and tomato sandwich," one person wrote on Instagram. They also noted that grilling a slice of tomato and sometimes adding onions or jalapeños made for something to remember.
