It should be known that I was trying to add more burger places but alas on GAG I had a limit unfortunately and was going to try to put more burger places or other. I really should try In and Out since I have heard they have the best burgers (we don't have an In and Out in the south I don't think and if we do it's not well known).

At this rate I think I need to make a road trip to try In and Out burger. The question is what should I try and what's recommended?

Burger king had the best grilled taste omg. Next is Checkers/Ralleys Big Buford Burger. Wendys is next but only good if its that Daves Single. Sonics is next with the Cheesburger. Mcdonalds has the nastiest burger but best fries. I only tried Five Guys and Steak N Shake ONCE and hated both. Whataburger smelled funny so i didn't eat it

[DizzyDesii]

Buffalo Wild Wings burger is amazing. Chilis as well

[Jamie05rhs]

I honestly didn't even know Buffalo Wild Wings had burgers. Lol

[DizzyDesii]

@Jamie05rhs their wings are so fckin disgusting along with their appetizers. But the burgers are sooooo amazing and huge. And when they serve it, it really looks big like the pic

[Lucy68]

@Jamie05rhs I didn't even know that either. Learned something new today

[Jamie05rhs]

Wow!

[DizzyDesii]

Thanks for mho 💪

Five Guys is supreme. If I'm not making the burger myself which most of the time I an, then it comes from Five Guys. I was so excited to get to Cali to try In-N-Out and I was SOOOO disappointed! Everything was disgusting. Even the milkshake.

Re: In-N-Out and "The question is what should I try and what's recommended?": In-N-Out part of their gig is that the menu is really, really simple. It's not like McDonald's or other places where you have to choose between fish or chicken or beef, and do you get nugget form, finger form, patties, etc. They don't even have a bacon option.

It's just how many patties do you want, and do you want cheese on those patties? Next, do you want fries or not? Last selection, pop, water, or milkshake (strawberry, vanilla, or chocolate)?

If you want to get really fancy, In-N-Out has a "secret menu" that you can order in code but it doesn't add any special meats or cheeses. I order a kind of special order, which is:

One Double Double (two patties, with cheese), Animal Style (with grilled onions), Protein Style (lettuce wrapped, no bun):

double double animal protein style

You can also order your fries Animal Style, and they will cover them in grilled onions, cheese, and sauce (pickle/ketchup/mayo) but I don't recommend it. Animal Style burgers are a free upgrade, but Animal Style fries costs double and isn't that amazing, imho.

Lastly, I will say I prefer In-N-Out, but I also don't think they are worth making a special 400 mile+ trip for. I like the Hardee's (out here we call it Carl's Jr.) Famous Star, which I think is better than a Whopper or Big Mac, but really fast food is not the best burgers usually. If you do come out west to CA, swing by Santa Barbara and try "The Habit" for our best local burger joint.

I love burgers & love how restaurants advertise their burgers & they looks so good like the ones in your photos. You order them expecting one thing & this is when you get.

Why are Wendy’s burgers square?

On the flip side I would choose Five Guys Burgers if I had to choose one from your list.

[Still-alive]

As a Californian it’s obviously In N Out

[doopayo]

I tried in and out once when I went to Cali to visit family. It was SOOO good, I’m jealous they don’t have more locations and they seem to always be super packed

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

I have eaten a Burger King's burger only once and McD's many times, but still, Burger King is better than McD.

[MCheetah]

Five Guys or Wendy's back when I was in the US, but neither one are in Korea.

[bolverk]

None of the chains, I'd rather get a burger from a local grill house, their burgers tend to be better/fresher, their prices are reasonable, and the money stays in the local economy instead going to the chains.

[sean1234]

Oh the irony of fast food. To fast is to take a break from eating and drinking, to let your digestion system heal but instead you do the opposite and damage it more so.

[rachel776]

if i'm allowed to comment, In N Out baby

[BobbyC65]

Two Double cheese burgers and a small Fri's with no pickles. 💞

[jennifer_bloom]

I voted for Wendys but my dad prefers Burger King so we eat at Burger King instead - McDonald’s has nice lattes but their beef burgers are boring.

[dustybiker]

Bob’s big boy was my fav, then Fat Burger, then Tommy’s and In and Out.. but the last is almost no longer worth it. Cost raise to meat amount.

[t-8900]

Five guys with grilled onions and mushrooms with ketchup and mayo or grilled onion and bacon with BBQ.

[Anonymous]

there is a place. It isn't built yet. I am psychic. It will erase all those places you named when it is born.

[AviatorTom]

For me, Wendy's is the best and Five Guys is the worst. Of course, most of these are franchised and the quality can vary from store to store.

[GaGirls]

I never had five guys but it always seemed like it would be better. I don't eat meat. But they all got roaches.

[crmoore]

I haven't had all those options before, but I enjoy Five Guys a lot.

[najekim]

I'll take a Steak & Shake Frisco Melt with an extra patty anytime with a large strawberry shake, extra strawberries.

Unfortunately, the nearest Steak & Shake is a 5-6 hour drive from where I live.

[erandal]

From your list Burger King. My favourite is MAX Burger which I visit when in Sweden.

[ShadezMcgee]

On that list it is a tossup between Five Guys and Steal and Shake.

[Adam1978]

None, I prefer pizza and kebab, so burgers are usually a lack of options then a choice.

[Lliam]

If anything, In n Out Burger. I don't eat burgers from any other fast food outlets.
