Does Burger King Have a Secret Menu?

Yes, Burger King does have a secret menu. However, it's not an official secret menu. Instead, it comprises custom dishes and menu hacks created by fans of the chain. Some dishes have become so popular that staff will likely know the items by name, while others will need to be explained in full when ordering.

What Is the Secret Menu at Burger King?

The Burger King secret menu includes a range of items that are essentially customizations of official menu options. As mentioned, the Burger King secret menu isn’t official but is instead passed from person to person by word of mouth and via online platforms and social media. 

While some staff may know secret menu items by name, you will likely have to provide a detailed explanation of the Burger King secret menu item you want to try, including ingredients and changes to official menu items.

Luckily, learning these secret menu customizations isn’t too challenging — in fact, we cover exactly how to order them in this Burger King secret menu guide — and will allow you to try some delicious new options you otherwise wouldn’t have known about. 

How We Created This Burger King Secret Menu Guide

The team at Cozymeal has extensive experience in the food industry, connecting foodies with culinary experiences and creating a range of informative content. This experience has led us to discover that many fast casual and fast food restaurants have hidden menus complete with custom dishes not found on official menus.

One of the best secret menus we’ve found is the Burger King secret menu. To share only the top-tier items with you, we rounded up our favorite BK secret menu dishes while also undertaking more research to uncover menu hacks we weren’t previously aware of.

The result is a guide that features the tastiest and most popular Burger King secret menu items, along with some tips on how to order these items for yourself.

Burger King Secret Menu Burgers and Sandwiches

1. The Quad Stacker

The Quad Stacker is a humongous Burger King secret menu item. Order this and you’ll get four beef patties, four cheese slices, special sauce and bacon all within two buns. It is not for the faint of heart!

Some Burger King staff will understand what you mean by a Quad Stacker, but if they do not, simply ask for a burger with all the ingredients listed above. This will certainly cure your hunger for the day and is an excellent choice for those looking for the best high-protein fast food. 

How To Order

• Burger Bun
• Four Beef Patties 
• Four Cheese Slices
• Bacon
• Special Sauce

2. Rodeo Burger

Are you searching for a burger with an extra kick? If so, look no further than the Rodeo Burger! This Burger King secret menu item actually became an official menu item again recently, but when it’s no longer on the menu, keep this menu hack in mind to continue enjoying it.

The burger includes a flame-grilled patty (single or double) with the addition of onion rings and barbecue sauce, plus bacon and cheese if desired. The easiest way to order it when not on the official menu is by asking for a plain single or double hamburger (just bun and patty) with barbecue sauce and onion rings.

If you want bacon and cheese as well, ask for the barbecue sauce and onion rings to be added to the Bacon King. Do the same with a plain single or double cheeseburger if you don't want bacon. 

How To Order

• Bacon King
• Barbecue Sauce
• Onion Rings

or

• Plain Burger or Cheeseburger (Single or Double)
• Barbecue Sauce
• Onion Rings

3. The Royal Bird ‘n Beef

Unsurprisingly, the Burger King secret menu has many burger hacks, but what we love about this one is that it combines both a burger and a chicken sandwich, giving you the best of both worlds. It's perfect for those who can't decide what to order!

The Royal Bird ‘n Beef combines a Whopper and a Crispy Chicken, with the option to use a Spicy Crispy Chicken if you want a bit of heat. To get it, you'll just need to ask for the two sandwiches to be combined, or simply order both and do it yourself.

Feel free to add extra beef, cheese, chicken or any other ingredients you desire as well. You can also opt for a different burger, such as the Crispy Onion Whopper or Bacon King.

While it may be a massive burger that is somewhat difficult to eat — and definitely not the healthiest item at Burger King — we think the taste more than makes it worthwhile. You can also keep all the bread or go lighter on the carbs by adding the filling of one sandwich to the other. 

How To Order

• Whopper (or preferred choice of burger)
• Standard or Spicy Crispy Chicken Sandwich
• Remove: Bread From One Sandwich (optional)

4. Out-of-Season Angry Whopper

This is another take on the classic Whopper that happens to be one of our favorite Burger King secret menu items, in part because such simple swaps and additions get such flavorful results.

The Out-of-Season Angry Whopper is made by ordering a standard Whopper with spicy mayonnaise instead of regular mayo and ketchup. You’ll also want to ask for some bacon and jalapeños. You can even add onion rings to the burger to make it a little more like the original Angry Whopper that was once on the official menu.

This secret BK menu item is available all year round, despite the name, and is a great option if you think the best fast food burgers come with a little heat. You could add all the fillings to a chicken sandwich as well if you don't feel like a beef burger.

How To Order

• Whopper
• Remove: Ketchup
• Remove: Mayonnaise
• Spicy Mayonnaise
• Bacon
• Jalapeños
• Onion Rings (optional)

5. The Burger King BLT

This is another Burger King Secret menu burger that enhances the Whopper. The Burger King BLT combines juicy beef patties with lettuce, tomatoes and some very crispy bacon.

All you have to do to order this secret version of the Whopper is to ask for it with bacon. The additional bacon is certainly worth it as it makes the Whopper extra flavorful. For the closest resemblance to a BLT, you may also want to remove the ketchup, pickles and onions. 

How To Order 

• Whopper
• Bacon
• Remove: Ketchup (optional)
• Remove: Onion (optional)
• Remove: Pickles (optional)

6. The BK Chicken Parm

While Burger King’s official menu chicken sandwiches are some of the best fast food chicken sandwiches as is, they can be enhanced in a few ways thanks to the secret menu. One of our favorites is the menu hack that results in the BK Chicken Parm.

To enjoy it, get an Original Chicken Sandwich, with the lettuce and mayonnaise removed, and add Mozzarella Fries and marinara dip inside. This one-of-a-kind sandwich resembles its namesake dish greatly and is sure to satisfy all your fast food cravings.  

How To Order

• Original Chicken Sandwich
• Remove: Lettuce
• Remove: Mayonnaise
• Mozzarella Sticks
• Marinara Sauce

7. The XL Bacon Double Cheeseburger 

If you want a meat-filled burger, the XL Bacon Double Cheeseburger is a great choice. This is also a popular official menu item in many European countries, making it a fun one to try stateside, even though it isn't on the menu board.

To get this Burger King secret menu item, order the Bacon King, which features two meat patties, cheese and crispy bacon. The twist is that you need to ask for it without sauce (in the U.S., it comes with ketchup and mayonnaise) to make it resemble the European version. You could also add a different sauce of your choice, like barbecue sauce. 

How To Order

• Bacon King
• Remove: Mayonnaise
• Remove: Ketchup

8. King's Surf and Turf

As Burger King is known for having one of the best fast food fish sandwiches, it’s not surprising that there is a Burger King secret menu item incorporating this official menu dish. There are two ways to order the King’s Surf and Turf, which is basically a combination of a Whopper and a Big Fish, depending on what fillings you want.

If you want the fish sandwich fixings of tartar sauce, lettuce and pickles on a potato bun, ask for the Big Fish with a Whopper patty added. If you’d prefer lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, white onions, mayonnaise and ketchup on a sesame seed bun, get the Whopper and ask for a breaded fish fillet to be added.

It may also be easier to order both sandwiches as they come and combine them yourself. Either way, we loved this unique mix of beef patty and breaded fish. While it may not be for everyone, we definitely recommend trying it once — you may be pleasantly surprised!

How To Order

• Big Fish Sandwich
• Flame-Grilled Whopper Patty

or

• Whopper
• Panko-Breaded White Alaskan Pollock Filet

9. The Burger King Club

The Burger King Club is another rendition of Burger King's chicken sandwich. Unlike the previously covered version that included a beef patty, this one Burger King off-menu item is a little lighter.

To get it, ask for an Original Chicken Sandwich with the addition of bacon, tomato and cheese. You could also make it spicy by switching regular mayonnaise for the spicy kind or adding bacon and cheese to Spicy Royal Crispy Chicken. 

While not the absolute healthiest fast food item, this dish is one of the healthier options at Burger King, especially on the BK secret menu.

How To Order

• Original Chicken Sandwich (or Spicy Royal Crispy Chicken)
• Bacon
• Tomato
• Cheese
• Spicy Mayonnaise (optional)

10. Extra Bacon Burger

This BK secret menu item is a dream come true for bacon lovers. And, it's super easy to put together. Just choose the regular menu burger you'd like and ask for extra bacon.

While the cost of your burger will increase based on how much bacon you ask for, you should be able to request a decent amount, allowing you to create the sandwich of your dreams. You could even skip the beef patties altogether for the ultimate bacon sandwich. 

How To Order

• Burger of Your Choice
• Extra Bacon

11. Grilled Cheese

While there aren't many vegetarian options on BK's menu in the U.S., meat-free diners can have a treat with this next Burger King secret menu hack. All you have to do is ask for a few slices of cheese to be grilled between a burger bun. 

American cheese should always be on the menu, but you may also have options like pepper jack. Plus, you can add whatever fillings you want, from tomato slices to mozzarella sticks and marinara sauce for a Veggie Parm Sandwich. 

How To Order

• Burger Bun
• Cheese
• Other Fillings (optional)

12. French Toast Breakfast Sandwich 

The secret menu doesn't only cover lunch and dinner options; you can also get Burger King breakfast menu treats. For this hack, which was shared by the chain itself, just add French toast sticks to the breakfast sandwich of your choice.

If you want, you can also add the syrup that comes with the French toast to the whole concoction. It's a sweet and savory lover's perfect way to start the day!

How To Order

• Breakfast Sandwich of Your Choice
• French Toast Sticks

13. The Mustard Whopper

Another secret variation of the Whopper is available on the BK secret menu called the Mustard Whopper. Instead of eating this famous burger with mayonnaise and ketchup, ask for it with mustard. It might be a small change, but we find that it adds a lot of extra taste to this classic Burger King menu item.

How To Order

• Whopper
• Mustard
• Remove: Ketchup
• Remove: Mayonnaise

Burger King Secret Menu Drinks

14. ICEE Float

Do you love both ICEE slushies and ice cream? Then you should order this Burger King secret menu item, as it combines both soft serve ice cream and a fruit slushie (Frozen drinks on the BK menu).

To get it, simply order vanilla ice cream with any slushie flavor you choose. If you can’t decide, cherry or strawberry works great with vanilla ice cream for a berry pie-inspired treat. However, we also love using Frozen Fanta Blue Raspberry for an over-the-top yet totally delicious treat. 

How To Order

• Vanilla Soft Serve Ice Cream
• Frozen Fruit Slushie Drink

15. Frozen Coke Float

A Frozen Coke Float is a fantastic sweet treat on the Burger King secret menu that's pretty similar to the previous BK secret drink. To order this, all you need to do is get a Frozen Coke (or regular Coca-Cola) and add some soft-serve ice cream on top. 

How To Order

• Vanilla Soft Serve Ice Cream
• Frozen or Regular Coca-Cola

Other Burger King Secret Menu Items

16. BK Affogato

Add an Italian twist to your dessert order by ordering a cup of soft-serve ice cream and adding a shot of espresso (if available) or some BK Café coffee. You'll get a deliciously creamy treat with a hit of caffeine to wake you up. If you've been on the lookout for the best fast food dessert, this could be it!

Keep an eye on the limited edition menu as well because Burger King sometimes offers an espresso sundae. Certain countries, such as the Philippines, also have access to a BK Café affogato-style beverage. However, this is not currently available in the U.S. or Canada.

How To Order

• Vanilla Soft Serve Ice Cream
• Espresso Shot or Regular Coffee

17. Frings

What do you get when you mix some of the best fast food French fries with crispy onion rings? Frings, of course!

This Burger King secret menu item takes the difficulty out of deciding what side to order by mixing both onion rings and fries in one container. 

You could try asking for Frings, as the Burger King staff might know what you mean. But, if this doesn't work, just ask for a half (or full) order of fries and onion rings and mix them together yourself.

This secret menu item at Burger King is also sometimes seen as a limited-edition menu item, so keep an eye out if you want to give it a try. Also note that this combo may be under the name Have-sies. 

How To Order

• Half or Full Order Fries
• Half or Full Order Onion Rings

How To Order From the Burger King Secret Menu

Now that you know what Burger King off-menu items are available, how do you get your hands on them?

To make ordering hassle-free, follow these steps:

1. Decide Which Hidden Burger King Menu Items You Want

Heading into a Burger King to order secret menu items is generally the easiest way to ensure you get what you want. This is also more considerate toward the staff, as they can decline if needed, and you have the chance to fully explain what you would like.

At the counter, ask if they accept secret menu orders and then explain what you would like, including full ingredient lists and modifications to official menu items. 

While ordering in-store is usually the best option, you can get some things online, as ingredients can be removed and sometimes added online and via the app. You can also order BK secret menu dishes online if you plan to simply combine two or more regular menu items.

It's also a good idea to visit during off-peak times, as the staff may be more open to creating custom orders when the store is less busy. This is also more considerate to other customers waiting to order and collect their food. 

Burger King's secret menu offers an alternative and fun way to enjoy your order. Trying out these items is a creative and unique experience, making you feel like an insider of the Burger King community.
