while hamburgers might have been
[2]
invented in germany
[3]
america has mastered the burger along
[6]
with a bevy of spectacular burgers from
[8]
coast to coast
[9]
there are burger-shaped debacles you'd
[11]
be wise to dodge
[12]
here's our ranking of chain burger
[14]
restaurants in order
[15]
starting with the absolute worst a trip
[18]
to sonic drive-in
[20]
is not a waste of time they have many
[22]
yummy items on their menu from their
[24]
iconic cherry limeade to their fantastic
[26]
hot dogs
[27]
other great choices include their onion
[29]
rings and their spicy yet delectable
[31]
cheddar peppers
[32]
however if you're headed to sonic for a
[34]
burger you will have a bad
[36]
time sonic's burgers are so bland and so
[38]
forgettable that you will be completely
[40]
underwhelmed
[41]
by the final bite of your burger you
[43]
will be angry that you spent your
[45]
hard-earned dough on something that
[46]
wasn't any tastier than the
[48]
mass-produced burger found
[49]
at the closest elementary school if
[51]
you're visiting sonic stick to their
[53]
famous slushes
[54]
their scrumptious ice cream or simple
[56]
snack food like the aforementioned hot
[58]
dogs and onion rings
[60]
if you're serious about acquiring a top
[62]
of the line burger
[63]
sonic is clearly not the place to go
[66]
if you visited fuddruckers as a child
[69]
you likely have extremely fond memories
[71]
remember
[72]
submerging your burger with so much
[73]
liquid cheese from their cheese pump
[75]
that your mom got embarrassed
[77]
remember all the games all the
[78]
televisions and the comfortable
[80]
atmosphere that so enthralled you when
[82]
you were young
[83]
yeah those were some fun times
[85]
tragically though
[86]
those times are gone fuddruckers isn't
[89]
what you remember
[90]
the fantastic juicy made to order
[92]
burgers of yesteryear have been replaced
[94]
by sad
[95]
overpriced burgers that don't do your
[97]
memories justice
[98]
don't let nostalgia convince you that a
[100]
trip to fuddruckers is a good idea
[102]
it's a far cry from what it used to be
[104]
in its heyday
[105]
years ago fuddruckers would have been in
[107]
the top five or even the top three on a
[110]
list like this
[111]
now this place is barely able to stay
[113]
out of last place
[115]
dairy queen is great for what it is but
[117]
shouldn't be the restaurant you go to
[119]
when you want to eat a great burger
[120]
dairy queen has a ton of blizzard
[122]
flavors and many of them are amazing
[124]
go to dairy queen when your sweet tooth
[126]
is begging for a dessert
[128]
but don't visit this restaurant when you
[129]
have a craving for a burger
[131]
at best a dairy queen burger is a
[133]
rubbery disappointing sandwich that
[135]
you'll try to forget as you eat your
[137]
blizzard
[137]
at worst their burgers are a charred
[139]
soggy nightmare that might even leave
[141]
you feeling sick
[143]
pound for pound white castle burgers are
[145]
decent unfortunately they are just
[148]
way too small their burgers which they
[150]
call sliders due to their puny size will
[152]
struggle to fill you up
[154]
even if you're not that hungry you'll
[156]
probably have to order five or six of
[158]
these things to put a dent in your
[159]
hunger
[160]
and dealing with all those sliders is
[162]
more embarrassing than it is satiating
[164]
skip the hassle and the awkwardness and
[166]
just go to a better chain burger
[168]
restaurant
[169]
to white castle's credit it does try to
[171]
make up for its shortcomings by offering
[173]
about a dozen types of sliders
[175]
sadly the quantity of choices doesn't
[177]
overcome the lack of substance
[179]
considering the sliders are so small
[181]
there's only so much they can do to
[183]
improve
[184]
a w has a history dating all the way
[186]
back to 1919
[188]
and to this day more than a hundred
[190]
years later this restaurant chain
[192]
is known for its root beer the chain has
[194]
been offering burgers for decades and a
[197]
w even claims to have invented the bacon
[199]
cheeseburger which has now become a part
[201]
of american life
[202]
while a w has an impressive resume and
[205]
should be proud of its longevity and
[206]
accomplishments over the last century
[209]
all of that is ancient history when it
[211]
comes to the here and now
[212]
the burgers this restaurant offers are
[214]
below average
[215]
for example the original bacon
[217]
cheeseburger may have been a novel menu
[219]
item
[220]
decades ago but today this sandwich is
[222]
lacking in beef
[223]
bacon and quality toppings part of the
[226]
problem is the burger's massive buns
[228]
overwhelming every other aspect of the
[230]
sandwich it's just
[231]
too much while no one would ever say
[234]
mcdonald's burgers are the best of the
[236]
best they do get some bonus points for
[238]
being consistent
[240]
no matter where you are on the planet
[241]
you can order one of their burgers and
[243]
be confident about what you will receive
[245]
moreover the big mac has been a national
[248]
phenomenon since 1968.
[250]
it's impossible to go through your
[252]
existence as an american without
[253]
at least having a couple of big macs
[255]
along the way the quarter pounder which
[257]
launched a few years later in 1971
[260]
and went national not long after is also
[263]
an american institution in its own right
[266]
while the consistency is admirable the
[268]
quality of mcdonald's burgers simply
[270]
can't compete with the competition
[272]
thanks to that famous jingle we know the
[274]
many ingredients that comprise a big mac
[277]
however despite all that is on it a big
[279]
mac has relatively little flavor
[281]
and certainly doesn't have the meaty
[283]
goodness that other burgers boast
[285]
add in the unhealthfulness of some of
[287]
their other burger options
[288]
and it's clear that mcdonald's is
[290]
unlikely to ever rise in a ranking like
[292]
this one
[294]
when it comes down to bang for your buck
[296]
rallies really delivers
[298]
their burgers are inexpensive and
[300]
adequate enough for you to be satisfied
[302]
with your visit
[303]
and if rallies isn't in your region you
[305]
may know it better as
[306]
checkers it's the same company however
[309]
this chain burger restaurant comes up a
[311]
bit
[311]
short if you're simply judging their
[312]
burgers for their quality without
[314]
factoring in value
[316]
as good as rally's burgers look they
[318]
lack the immense flavor found at
[320]
competing restaurants
[321]
as an example their bacon zilla looks
[323]
like wendy's baconator
[325]
and even has similar ingredients however
[327]
the bacon zilla is not nearly as tasty
[330]
likewise as good as rally's big buford
[332]
looks you need to keep your expectations
[334]
in check when you order it to avoid
[336]
being disappointed
[338]
since opening their first location in
[340]
1986 in los angeles johnny rockets has
[343]
been a popular destination for those who
[345]
want an
[346]
entertaining 1950s diner experience
[348]
while enjoying a good burger
[350]
while this restaurant consistently
[352]
provides the fun eccentric vibe of a 50s
[355]
diner the quality of their burgers is
[357]
much less consistent
[358]
even if you've had a very tasty burger
[360]
from johnny rockets don't be too
[362]
confident that your next visit will
[364]
result in a burger of equal
[366]
quality the late anthony bourdain found
[368]
out firsthand that johnny rockets
[370]
doesn't always live up to expectations
[372]
as he told conan o'brien you know look
[375]
i've eaten
[376]
a lot of really nasty things on my show
[378]
but nothing is so destroying as my
[380]
airport johnny rockets experience
[382]
if you're willing to roll the dice
[384]
johnny rockets is an okay place to go
[386]
for a burger but if you get unlucky like
[388]
anthony bourdain did
[389]
you'll be talking about your misfortune
[392]
for years to come
[394]
if you're okay with a perfectly adequate
[396]
burger carl's jr won't leave you
[398]
disappointed
[399]
none of their burgers will especially
[401]
wow you and you shouldn't go out of your
[403]
way to visit one of their locations
[405]
but carl's jr has a long list of
[407]
available burgers and none of them will
[409]
leave you disheartened
[410]
need help ordering at carl's jr the
[413]
western bacon cheeseburger is so unique
[415]
that it's something you should try while
[416]
you're still in the land of the living
[418]
this bad boy features a beef patty a
[421]
pair of bacon strips a slice of american
[423]
cheese a delightfully tangy barbecue
[425]
sauce
[426]
and most notably onion rings within a
[428]
sesame seed bun
[430]
jack-in-the-box is a popular burger spot
[432]
particularly for those west of the
[434]
mississippi
[435]
for a newbie ordering a burger at this
[437]
place is a dangerous proposition
[439]
some of the items on their burger menu
[441]
are really good however
[443]
others are a big disappointment the
[445]
sourdough jack
[446]
is a big winner along with a beef patty
[449]
you'll find bacon
[450]
swiss cheese a high quality tomato slice
[452]
ketchup and mayo on a delicious
[454]
sourdough bread
[456]
on the other end of the spectrum though
[457]
is the ultimate cheeseburger
[459]
this burger which contains two beef
[461]
patties and both american cheese and
[463]
swiss
[464]
cheese isn't good at all it has a mushy
[466]
texture and a taste that somehow manages
[468]
to be too savory
[470]
plus the melty cheese buttery bun and
[472]
the presence of ketchup mayo and mustard
[475]
make it a mess to eat
[476]
do yourself a favor and skip it after
[479]
beginning life as a bar in the 1940s
[482]
red robin has grown into a chain
[484]
restaurant in which burgers are front
[486]
and center of everything they do
[488]
while they offer a pleasant sit-down
[490]
dining experience
[491]
and a number of inventive and tasty
[493]
burgers the fact that most of their
[495]
burgers cost around 11
[497]
makes visiting a red robin an iffy
[499]
decision value-wise
[500]
many of their burgers taste good but not
[503]
quite eleven dollars good
[505]
an example of the inventiveness of red
[507]
robin's burgers is their bonsai burger
[509]
which apparently draws some of its
[511]
inspiration from japan
[513]
the beef patty is glazed with teriyaki
[515]
sauce and is topped with grilled slices
[517]
of pineapple
[518]
along with cheddar cheese tomato lettuce
[520]
and mayonnaise
[521]
if you want to turn up the heat opt for
[524]
the burn-in love burger that will
[525]
emulate your taste buds with the help of
[527]
fried jalapenos a heaping dollop of
[529]
salsa
[530]
and pepper jack cheese while both of
[532]
these burgers are really good
[534]
be prepared for some sticker shock at
[536]
the end of your meal
[538]
the best thing about burger king is that
[540]
their burgers are all
[541]
safely above average and that makes it
[543]
nearly impossible to mess up your order
[545]
additionally their beef has a flame
[547]
grilled flavor that is one of a kind
[549]
and undeniably memorable if you love
[552]
that flame grilled taste
[553]
burger king could leapfrog over the
[555]
competition and become one of your
[557]
favorite two or three burger joints
[559]
on the other hand if you find that
[560]
flavor off-putting you may actively
[563]
avoid burger king for the rest of your
[565]
days
[565]
the staple of burger king's flame
[567]
grilled burger menu
[569]
is the legendary whopper beyond the
[571]
flame girl taste
[572]
the meat is juicy the bun is amazing and
[575]
the other
[576]
ingredients are of high quality if you
[578]
want something heartier
[579]
the massive triple whopper with cheese
[581]
will fill you to the brim
[583]
if you're east of the mississippi
[585]
there's a good chance you've never seen
[586]
a fat burger
[587]
as a vast majority of the chain's
[589]
locations are in california
[591]
however in the golden state it seems
[593]
like everyone has only positive things
[595]
to say about this burger chain
[597]
and while fatburger isn't the cream of
[599]
the crop they certainly deserve their
[601]
spot in the top half of our ranking
[603]
the most famous burger at fat burger is
[606]
called of course the fat burger
[608]
this burger has a 100 beef patty lettuce
[611]
onion tomato pickles relish mayonnaise
[614]
and mustard on a toasted bun
[616]
interestingly despite the name of this
[618]
burger and the restaurant in which it is
[620]
served the fat burger features
[622]
lean beef the original fat burger has
[624]
one third of a pound of beef
[626]
and there are three larger versions in
[628]
case you're extra hungry
[631]
the tricky thing about steak and shake
[632]
is that you really need to do your
[634]
research so you know what to order
[636]
if you go in blind there's a real chance
[638]
that you will leave this burger
[640]
restaurant with your tail between your
[642]
legs
[642]
in theory the western barbecue and bacon
[644]
steak burger should be really good
[646]
this sandwich has two slabs of beef
[649]
bacon american cheese
[650]
fried onions and barbecue sauce sadly
[653]
the reality of this situation is you
[655]
shouldn't order this burger because the
[657]
barbecue sauce is way too sweet
[659]
and has an artificial smoky aftertaste
[662]
conversely you'll be thanking the burger
[664]
gods if you get your hands on the white
[666]
truffle prime steak burger
[668]
this glorious beast features a pair of
[670]
swiss cheese slices
[671]
perfectly caramelized onions grilled
[673]
mushrooms and a truffle aioli on a
[676]
brioche bun that has been toasted
[678]
you're welcome burgerfi is quickly
[681]
climbing the charts when it comes to
[683]
having the best burgers around
[684]
and as time passes expect them to only
[687]
climb
[688]
higher and higher there's a lot to love
[690]
about burgerfi
[691]
first of all burgerfi claims that it
[693]
only picks the top one percent of beef
[695]
in the u.s
[696]
and that the beef has no antibiotics
[698]
growth hormones or steroids
[700]
and science backed their claim secondly
[703]
they have one of the best meatless
[705]
burgers in the fast food universe
[707]
burgerfi's veggie fei burger is so good
[709]
that even the proudest self-avowed
[711]
carnivores will happily devour it and
[714]
enjoy
[714]
every second of it when ordering from
[717]
burgerfi's menu
[718]
there's really no need to complicate
[720]
things the burgerfi
[721]
cheeseburger is a classically delicious
[723]
burger that you can't help but
[725]
thoroughly enjoy
[727]
you can accuse smashburger for burying
[729]
the lead when it comes to their name
[731]
as their beef is literally smashed onto
[733]
a buttered and seasoned grill in order
[735]
to create the delectable flavor they're
[737]
known for
[738]
while they aren't the only chain burger
[740]
restaurant to smash their beef they've
[741]
taken the practice to the next level and
[744]
have made it the focus of their entire
[746]
operation like burgerfi smashburger is a
[749]
relatively new kid on the block
[750]
the chain was founded in 2007 and it
[753]
already has more than 300 locations
[756]
across 36 states beyond their smashing
[759]
technique smashburger's success can be
[761]
attributed to the fact that they have
[762]
mastered just about everything on their
[764]
menu
[765]
while the options are relatively limited
[767]
each and every item
[768]
is really really good considering that
[771]
wendy's is a fast food joint with more
[773]
than 5 500 locations that can be found
[776]
in every nook and cranny in the nation
[778]
the quality of their burgers is
[779]
astonishingly high
[781]
maybe it's because their burgers are
[783]
square more likely the quality of their
[785]
burgers
[786]
is due to their practice of only using
[787]
fresh beef that was never frozen at any
[790]
point in time
[791]
the creme de la creme when it comes to
[793]
wendy's burgers is undoubtedly
[795]
the great baconator if you've never
[797]
eaten one of these bad boys you're
[798]
missing out
[799]
it has half of a pound of their never
[801]
frozen beef six slices of smoked bacon
[804]
two slices of american cheese mayonnaise
[806]
and ketchup
[807]
the first time you eat one is borderline
[809]
euphoric and you can even have one for
[812]
breakfast
[813]
shake shack hasn't even been around for
[815]
20 years but their masterful burgers are
[818]
impossible to ignore
[819]
try one of their burgers and you won't
[821]
be surprised at all to learn that
[823]
they've become
[823]
so successful that they now have in
[825]
excess of 275
[827]
locations around the globe don't let
[830]
their name fool you as the milkshakes
[832]
take a backseat at shake shack
[833]
far and away the best item on their menu
[836]
is the shack burger
[837]
it has tomato lettuce and a yummy bun
[840]
that's made out of a potato roll
[842]
however it's the beef that's the star of
[844]
the show
[845]
shake shack only uses angus beef that's
[847]
free of antibiotics and hormones and was
[850]
raised on a pasture
[851]
not in a factory farm if you want
[853]
something a little bit different at
[855]
shake shack the
[856]
smoke shack is exactly what you seek
[858]
this fancy burger has delectable bacon
[860]
on it that was smoked over
[862]
applewood it also has cherry pepper
[864]
slices to add just the right amount of
[866]
heat
[867]
when whataburger was born in corpus
[869]
christi texas
[870]
the impressive size of their burgers was
[872]
the main selling point
[874]
while the size of their burgers will
[875]
still impress you it's the flavor that
[877]
will have you reminiscing for days on
[880]
end
[880]
the magic begins with the standard
[882]
whataburger which comes with lettuce
[884]
tomato
[884]
pickles onions and mustard it sounds
[887]
relatively simple but it's a fantastic
[889]
burger that's so juicy and flavorful
[891]
that it will keep your taste buds
[893]
dancing
[894]
if you want to mix things up go with a
[896]
double whataburger or a jalapeno and
[898]
cheese whataburger that has enough
[900]
jalapeno slices on it to make
[902]
whataburger's south texas roots proud i
[904]
would like to buy a hamburger i would
[906]
like to buy the hamburger
[908]
hamburger i would like to buy and dagger
[910]
maybe we should stop
[912]
we don't quit the top three spots in
[914]
this ranking are separated by a razor
[916]
thin margin
[917]
all three chain burger restaurants have
[919]
valid reasons why they deserve the top
[922]
spot
[922]
when it comes to five guys the freshness
[924]
of the burgers and their
[926]
obvious burger expertise make a
[928]
compelling case
[929]
going forward it wouldn't take much for
[931]
this chain to leap into first
[932]
place while wendy's is famous for never
[935]
freezing their beef
[936]
five guys takes it a step further not
[939]
only is their beef never frozen
[941]
they don't even have freezers on the
[942]
premises that's an impressive level of
[945]
dedication to offering fresh food
[947]
furthermore while other burger places
[949]
claim to be experts in the field
[951]
five guys chefs have the recipes down to
[954]
a science
[955]
so much so that they don't even use
[957]
timers and that's basically unheard of
[959]
in this industry
[961]
you can confidently shout from the
[962]
rooftops that in-n-out burger has the
[965]
best burger in all the land and you
[967]
won't get much pushback
[968]
people may look at you like you're crazy
[970]
for climbing onto a roof to scream about
[973]
burgers
[973]
but there won't be many who decide to
[975]
argue against you
[976]
in and out burger has stupendous options
[979]
from the humble cheeseburger to the
[981]
animal style
[982]
burger with grilled onions and pickles
[984]
from their not so secret menu
[986]
the key to in-n-out burger's success is
[988]
the mastering of ratios
[990]
the ratio of the beef to the cheese and
[992]
the ratio of the beef to the bun
[994]
are both ideal and result in a delicious
[997]
burger
