Fast-Food Employees Are Sharing The Best Things On Their Menus That No One Ever Orders

I need all of these immediately.

We all have our go-to fast-food order. But no one knows fast food better — the tricks, secret menu hacks, and most underrated items — than the people who work there. 🍔

"Used to work at a Taco Bell long ago. I found some amazing stuff. Here's a short guide to leveling up your Taco Bell experience: Bean Burrito with extra red sauce. The best value on the menu is a MexiMelt: This is a soft taco, minus lettuce and pico de gallo, cheese melted. Ask to substitute steak for a next-level maneuver." u/Deezl-Vegas

6. Starbucks: Upgraded White Mocha Frappuccino

7. Cook Out: Snickers and Mint Milkshake

8. McDonald's: McDouble Hack

9. Five Guys: Loaded Grilled Cheese

"Just fill it with all your favorite toppings. It's really good, pretty cheap, and filling." u/MonkeysDontEvolve

"I used to work at Five Guys and you can get a grilled cheese with anything on it. When I worked there, I would get a grilled cheese with extra cheese, bacon, grilled tomato, and BBQ sauce on the side. It's awesome." u/RainbowZebraGum

10. Taco Bell: Grilled Steak Soft Taco "Fresco-Style."

"Whataburger can prepare the apple pie. À la mode. That means they just put the apple pie in a small milkshake. The milkshake gets melted so it's easier to eat and the apple pie cools. It's glorious." u/jinklmun

27. Starbucks: An Undertow
