It might not be on the level of In-N-Out Burger, but McDonald’s, like most fast food chains such as Whataburger, KFC, Burger King and even Starbucks, has its very own secret menu. Perhaps the least suspected to offer off-the-menu items, the home of the BigMac isn’t opposed to the concept, after-all doesn’t it a bit more fun to eat something that’s not even on a menu. Sure, most secret menu items are actually created by customers. The kitchen doesn’t even know that these items even exist. The majority of these menu hacks will require a little work on your part and can’t be ordered directly at the counter which doesn’t make it any less worth trying. You can learn the instructions on how to build these creations yourself by ordering off the regular menu.
