Ask Lemmy

In N Out

A bag of dick's, delicious.

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

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 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.

BK Impossible with no mayo

The habit

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.

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).

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

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.

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.

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!

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

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

Good Times is a smaller chain and my favorite

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.

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).

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

Hungry Jacks Bacon Deluxe

A local joint which I will not name, but they're basically like shake shack. The food used to be way better than shake shack, but unfortunately now it's just on par with shake shack. (Still great though). The fries however are perfect.

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

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.
