This retro favorite combines a burrito and enchilada into one saucy masterpiece. Rolled with beef, beans, and cheese, then covered in red sauce and more cheese, it was a menu staple decades ago. Though officially retired, many locations still honor the request if you ask nicely.

This grilled take on the classic spicy chicken sandwich swaps the fried fillet for a char-grilled version. It’s lighter, smokier, and still delivers that signature kick. While not listed on the menu, many regulars order it by name and swear it’s the perfect middle ground between healthy and crave-worthy.

Shake Shack – Peanut Butter Bacon Burger
