Ask Lemmy

A bag of dick's, delicious.

In N Out

These days, I'm really trying for there not to be.

The kebab shop down the road makes burgers too and they're better than everything I've had from one of the large chains while still distinctly feeling like junk food.

I don't remember the last time I had a fast food burger. And I would like to keep it that way. Thank you.

The habit

BK Impossible with no mayo

Five Guys is the only one I would be okay with. McDonalds is probably the worse, followed by wendys being 2nd worst. BurgerKing is... um... its like good for like your first try, then subsequent times it taste worse and worse each time you got there.

I don't eat a lot of burgers so I probably don't know what a "good" burger taste like, I grew up in an Asian household so I don't exactly eat a lot of "western" food for the most of my life (like... relatively speaking, in comparison to the rest of the US).

West coast dude that has visited all over the US. I’ve had BK/McD’s, Whataburger, Jack in the box, In-N-Out, Carl’s Jr, Smashburger, Sonic, Shake Shack, White Castle, Five Guys, A&W, and maybe a couple more I’ve forgotten. Best for me, hands down:

Culver’s butter burger with cheese and everything on it.

Double teen burger from A&W.

Has enough meat with the double patty, and has all the toppings like onion, pickle, tomatoes, lettuce, cheese, etc.

In n out dbl dbl

Assuming the question means fast food chain

Second is dbl cheeseburger from McD, hate me if you need to

Nando's' double cheese and bacon burger with added pineapple and hot basting

None of them? I find it’s worth the extra $2 to go somewhere local or “fast casual”. Places like McDonalds , Wendy’s, and Burger King are overpriced garbage these days.

Good Times is a smaller chain and my favorite

Sweden has a hamburger chain named 'Mr York' and they are amazing!

Only one I can eat, impossible whopper. I wish they would go all in and use the superior black bean burger instead tho

When McDonald's gets an equivalent, they're going to make so much money off of me

Best I've cooked: Oklahoma onion burgers

Best I've bought: green chilli burger from Meat Liquor Covent Garden though sadly they don't seem to have that location any more and the green chilli burger is no longer on their menu!

When I was a kid my dad would take us to Halo Burger in the Flint, Michigan area once in a while. Haven't gone in decades, since I grew up and moved away from the state. Something about how the burger was seasoned, just delicious. Nowadays I usually stop by Culver's for a double deluxe, now that there's one not far from the house (did earlier today, actually).

The only fast food burgers I eat happen to be White Castle single cheeseburger.

small Cheval for regional chain & Culver’s for national.

My options are severely limited since I don’t eat meat, but The Habit makes a really nice veggie burger. They have one of the fake meat burger brands as well, but those honestly make me gag a little with how greasy they are.

It's a toss up between a Wendy's Baconator and the Jack-in-the-Box Ultimate Bacon Cheeseburger.

Or a classic Double Double from In-n-Out if you can consider an hour+ long wait in line "fast" food.

Out of the big three, the whopper by far.

For smaller but still top 100 chains, locally would be A&W, non local would be In-n-Out

There's a regional chain in LA called Tom's Jr. It offered unbeatable value like its Big Mac clone that went for $3.50 until they very recently bumped the price up to $5 each.

There's a small chain in Wichita Kansas called Bionic Burger. The double with cheese and fried onions is the most reliable way to introduce someone to that true Americana flavor. Side of fries and a cherry malt, it's not something you should eat but damned if you don't enjoy every second of it.

Tasty Burger's Big Tasty.
