Most of your favorite restaurants sell secret items that they don’t advertise on their regular menu. But if you know the right place to look, these secret menus have tons of tasty options.
From McDonald’s to Chick-Fil-A, we’ve collected some of the most deliciously delectable under-the-radar food items you have to try.
Unicorn Frappuccino, Starbucks
The Unicorn Frappuccino gained popularity for its bright pink and blue colors. This cotton candy colored drink is made with ice, pink powder, sour blue powder, Frappuccino syrup, mango syrup, and blue drizzle.
If you’re a lover of all things sweet, this might be the secret menu item for you. Or if you just want to take a picture for Instagram, this is probably the brightest drink that Starbucks can make! Beware of the sugar rush.
Animal Style Fries, In-N-Out
In-n-Out doesn’t have a secret menu as much as they have some little known renditions on the fan favorite food items that some people might not know you can ask for. Ordering a burger “animal style” means adding secret sauce and grilled onions to your burger.
This is probably the most popular menu item at In-n-out. But not everyone knows that you can order your fries animal style as well. Grilled onions, melted cheese, and creamy secret sauce will be piled on to your delicious fries.
Chick-fil-A Rootbeer Float
Who doesn’t love a root beer float? Classic vanilla ice cream mixed with root beer is the perfect treat. Chick-fil-A sells both root beer and vanilla ice cream so why not put them together?
Pair this with your meal in replacement of a shake or soda for a delicious sweet treat. In our humble opinion, every restaurant should sell these. It seems they’re hard to come by these days but they’re absolutely amazing!
Chipotle Burritodilla
The burritodilla sounds like something Mexican food lovers dreamt up. But at Chipotle, this fantastic cross between a burrito and quesadilla really exists and you can order it at some limited locations.
It is basically a quesadilla filled with cheese wrapped within a burrito with all the fillings of your choosing. It is grilled to perfection and served as a warm cheesy burritodilla. Yum!
McDonalds Apple Pie McFlurry
McDonalds has an extensive menu of delicious (though unhealthy) menu items. But they also have some secret menu items that are not well known but are offered at most locations around the world.
One popular menu item is their warm apple pie. And what pairs perfectly with apple pie? Vanilla ice cream, of course. The apple pie can be blended into a Mcflurry for the perfect combination of apple pie and vanilla ice cream. Yum!
McDonalds Big Mac ‘n’ Cheese
Many restaurants have begun to create menu items that will work for people with different kinds of eating habits. Being vegan and vegetarian has become more and more popular, so restaurants have to change with the times.
One example of a vegetarian option from McDonalds is the Big Mac ‘n’ Cheese. It has everything that a regular Big Mac has except for the meat. It still has the three buns, lettuce cheese, pickles, and Big Mac sauce.
McDonalds Cinnamon Melt a la Mode
This tasty treat is available at most McDonalds locations. It involves two sweet ingredients: low fat soft serve and gooey cinnamon melts. You can get this tasty treat for as little as $2.99.
Simply order a soft serve ice cream cone and dump it on top of the warm cinnamon bites. The warm cinnamon will melt the ice cream and it will all be topped with a crunchy cone.
McDonalds Egg Burger
If you’re looking for a little extra something added to your regular cheeseburger, this might be just the thing. You can add an egg to any burger and choose which way you want it cooked. It’ll cost $1-$2 extra depending on how the egg is prepared.
You can ask for a round egg, folded egg, or scrambled egg whites on any burger or sandwich for some added protein or to make your own breakfast sandwich.
Taco Bell The Superman
The Superman burrito is perhaps the most excessive menu item on the Taco Bell secret menu, but it sure does sound delicious. The Superman is a cheesy double beef burrito with a whole bunch of extra fixings.
It includes extra potatoes, sour cream, guacamole, and crispy tortilla strips in addition to the cheese and beef. Thankfully they made a name for this thing so you don’t have to list off all those items when you order!
Taco Bell Dorito Shell Anything
Taco Bell came out with the Dorito shell a few years back and it has grown to become one of their staple menu items. A little known secret is that you can add a Dorito shell to almost any meal.
Ask to swap out any hard taco shell with the flavorful Doritos shell. This will add a little kick to your regular meal. It costs less than a dollar to swap the shell or you can choose to add the shell to the dish for a little more.
McDonalds Fries with Big Mac Sauce
Big Mac sauce is one of the most popular flavors at McDonalds, similar to how the secret sauce at In-n-Out is a big crowd pleaser. If you love the sauce and can’t get enough, you’re in luck!
You can order a side of the Big Mac sauce to dip your french fries in. Usually, most locations will give you this side for free, but some might charge you $50 more. In our opinion, it’s well worth it.
Dairy Queen Frozen Hot Chocolate
A frozen hot chocolate might sound like an oxymoron. But this chocolatey treat is perfect for when you’re craving that flavor but want something cool in the summer months. The frozen hot chocolate is just a regular hot chocolate with ice blended in.
It’s typically available at every location but might only be served in certain months. This tasty treat is definitely worth asking for!
The Mustard-Grilled Patty, In-N-Out
One of the other more popular secret items from In-N-Out is the mustard-grilled patty. If you’re a mustard fan, this rendition of the classic IN-N-Out burger might just be for you. Request this item for a burger with a little extra kick.
For the mustard-grilled patty, the team will slather your burger patty in mustard before placing it on the grill. It’s an acquired taste but one of the most popular requests from the restaurant. People love their mustard!
The Crystal Ball Frappuccino, Starbucks
The Crystal Ball Frappuccino came out after the Unicorn drink gained popularity in 2017. The company realized the colorful Frappuccinos were popular and that they basically gained free advertising when people began posting pictures of the fun drinks.
The Crystal Ball Frappuccino is a swirly colored drink that can be made in your choice of color. You can order it in purple, blue, or green. It’s infused with peach tea and peach whipped cream as well as candy gem topping.
