O-M-Cheese Burger
The O-M-Cheese Burger features a juicy, all-beef patty topped with American cheese, Applewood-smoked bacon, and spicy honey mustard. The defining characteristic is the presentation: the burger is served cut in half and placed cut-side down in a sizzling skillet filled with a pool of molten queso and a melted Cheddar cheese blend. It is served with a side of classic fries, which are often used to scoop up the excess cheese from the skillet.
