So I do a lot of traveling, and I have been able to sample burgers from every major burger chain in the States.
My personal list, in order of preference: Five Guys>Teddy's Bigger Burger>Shake Shack>Whataburger>Steak N Shake>In N Out>Fatburger>Wendy's>Burger King>Hardee's/Carl's Jr.>McDonald's>Jack in the Box>Dairy Queen
Why bother rating chain burger places when you can get one from a place privately owned? If the owner is making the burgers or working the bar and checking in on the kitchen, it is likely better than your list.
Adrian James
McDonald's should be further up the list what with their new 'Create your taste' menu. It really caters to the foodie crowd, appeasing appetites and cravings for everything from artisan cheeses to earthy mushrooms.
Benjamin Evans
Cool story, bro. You work for Mickey D's?
Jack Reyes
No, I just believe in a decent product at a fair price! Have you tried the 'Create your own taste' menu?
Dylan Martin
Haven't tried OP's full list, but I have some issues with it.
Steak N Shake>Whataburger>Five Guys>Hardee's/Carl's Jr.>Wendy's>Jack in the Box>In N Out>Burger King>Dairy Queen>McDonald's
Couldn't decide where to put Hardee's/Carl's Jr. vs Five Guys. Five Guys has a great burger but Carl's Jr. has all the choices. But every CJ I've been to is has been nearly a restaurant length wait for a fast food burger.
Jose Taylor
Teddy's is fucking amazing but is it really that big? I know it has some international locations
Alexander Torres
Currently living in Hawaii and Teddy's quickly shot to near the top of my list. They have some mainland locations in Cali, Texas, Iowa and Washington. Also in Japan, Philippine Islands and Thailand (usually near US military instillations).
Hawaii also just got their first Five Guys about a month ago in Mililani. And now I'm torn about where to go for a burger, though you really can't go wrong with either one.
Caleb Ortiz
>fatbuger and in n out in the middle >hardee's that low >five guys above anything
Daniel Smith
This is in a flavorful and juicy rankings. The lower the list you go in my rankings, the more the burgers taste like cardboard. In N Out > Jack in the Box > Carl's Jr > McDonald's > Burger King > Wendy's
I've eaten at Steak n Shake and Dairy Queen before, but not enough to make any conclusions on their burgers. Though I do remember them being above Carl's Jr tier.
Ryder Garcia
I haven't tried Teddy's but I agree with this order. In N out is trash, I'd put mc donalds a bit higher desu
Leo Parker
Mine: Shake Shack > Five Guys > Steak n Shake > Burger king > Mcdonalds > Whataburger >In N out >Hardee's > DQ
Jacob Russell
OK five guys isn't that bad and you know it
Mason Cox
>Five Guys at the top of the list guaranteed replies.jpg
Bentley Gomez
Just had a five guys burger. bacon, grilled mushrooms grilled onions and ketchup. probably is at the top of my list too.
Nathans also makes some pretty fucking good burgers too.
Austin Miller
Chili's makes the best chain burger
Charles Carter
dairy queen after mcdonald and wendy's? are you high?
Jose Robinson
>arguing with dubs
You lost this battle before you even walked in the door.
John Edwards
Burgers are unhealthy and disgusting.
LITERALLY food made for fatties with no taste.
Kevin Russell
Burgers are delicious.
Jason Nguyen
Yea mentally ill people who are into scat will tell you shit smells like roses and tastes delicious
But shit it's still literally shit
Same with burgers
Lucas Jackson
Five Guys has pretty good food, maybe the best "fast food" burger of any national chain.
The problem is that they'll charge you $15 for that cheeseburger, fries and a coke.
just go ahead and be healthy but shut the fuck up about what other people eat you pretentious shithead
for that matter you shouldn't be judging what other people jack off too either.
Christian Hernandez
I'm into scat, especially shemale scat which is niche as fuck. It still smells like shit, it's the taboo that makes it erotic as fuck. The taste isn't pleasant but it isn't how you'd imagine - it's sour like rotting fruit and very bitter. And burgers are still delicious.
Sebastian Cook
It's not though.
Benjamin Murphy
>tfw no user to enjoy your shit I'm glad you exist though
Brody Collins
no but i'd still eat dairy queen over five guys ten times out of ten
Jayden Ortiz
Teddy's is great but I like Honolulu Burger Co. better. Teddy's has better fries though.
Aiden Perez
this. especially in europe, where most burger chains are just McDonalds and Burger King you get the best burgers at random fast food shacks. Even if they just buy the patties.
Levi Hughes
In terms of just burgers and both were free?
You'd be stupid. I understand wanting to eat at DQ for the blizzards, but that's pretty much all you should be getting
Leo Cooper
OP, I hope you're eating good local food instead of shitty chain burgers all the time.
Ayden Reyes
I like McDonald's and all, but you talk like a shill
Landon Mitchell
What the fuck is wrong with Dairy Queen? Their flamethrower burgers are a thousand times better than McDonald's and burger King at least. They do have the shittier fries of any fast food place though.
Levi White
>no Culver's on your list
You don't know shit.
Robert Sullivan
I really can't tell if you're a shill or trolling. Hell, whenever anyone mentions that place I can't tell anymore.
Christian Walker
>texan >go to our newly opened five guys, hope its worth the hype >Instead of getting a burger made good through a combination of ingredients, skill and effort, get some overly-greasy monstrosity that assumes that the customer not only likes the fake cancer american cheese, but they want a surplus of it >Barely more solid than a smoothie
Threw that soggy piece of shit away and just went to whataburger.
Jack Harris
youre a fucking faggot if you get your cheeseburger with anything but american.
like, fuck, theres like 2 things american is top teir for, and its burgers and omelettes.
like, nigga, wtf are you doing
Wyatt James
I'm genuinely confused by all the praise Whataburger gets. I've had it a few times, and it's always tasted exactly like Burger King to me. Plus, they've never not fucked up my order. Is it just Texan nationalism?
Jason Wood
Well, yeah. But there's not a weekly "good local food" thread here. There's always some asshole talking about burgers, though. I just decided to be that asshole this week.
Isaiah Bell
>Muh microburgeries
Kayden Rivera
No im not stupid because i dont think soggy peanut flavored fries and small tasteless grease burgers are worth 12 dollars
Joseph Gomez
for fucking real I was taking a cross country Greyhound trip one time (inb4poor) fuck you it was a goodtime I was talking to these two guys, one an older Hispanic guy and some young kid from Mendocino. Both swore up and down What-a-burger was the shit. Our bus ended up stopping at such an establishment. It was on pay with literally every fast food burger I've ever had
Levi Scott
What about Checkers? Their burgers rock.
Hudson Turner
The weirdest thing about it to me is that I live in New Mexico now, which means that I have a lot of Whataburgers and Blake's around. Blake's is way better (the burgers taste better than average fast food and the menus and service are better), but has nowhere near the following Whataburger does. It's fucking weird. Whataburger is alright, but I see no reason to hype it up as great and talk about it like it's amazing other than regional pride.
