Food and Drink Favorite Hamburger Chain (Poll) - Page 3

MarkDavis'Haircut · 08-29-2022, 02:57 PM

It is a diverse field.

Loads of options. You have the mighty chains of McDonald's and Burger King. Wendy's lurks. Hardee's and Carl Jr's are regional forces. Whataburger brings the heat. Jack in the Box is a dark horse. A&W is a classic. Five Guys has a market share. Roy Rogers continues to survive. White Castle and Krystal continue their Civil War set-up from the 1920s.

As always; vote and discuss!

RIP to the old classics: Burger Chef, Sandy's, Hot N Now, Red Barn. Etc.

I went with In and Out. But it's not like I ever get them because the nearest one is 5 hours away in Dallas. I guess that I should have went with Five Guys instead. They're a very close 2nd (probably 1a) and I can actually go to a Five Guys locally.

In-N-Out. The food is fresh, the restaurants are clean with good service and it's a good value.

Five Guys is good, but JFC it's overpriced. I went a few months ago with a buddy and paid. 2 Burgers, Fries and Milkshakes was like $50.00.

backinblack · 08-29-2022, 03:50 PM

In N Out would be more worth the hype if the fries weren't soggy cardboard

AndChiefs · 08-29-2022, 03:57 PM

I don't get the five guys love...I've had it multiple times, fries are really good...burgers are bland and overpriced.

Pepe Silvia · 08-29-2022, 03:58 PM

HI-Boy but you have to get the Junior Doubles not the regular size burgers, the regular is too much meat and bland. The Juniors are plenty of meat and have tons of flavor. Great shakes too.

Sassy Squatch · 08-29-2022, 03:59 PM

Yeah, no ****ing shit 5 Guys is better than most. It better ****ing be at $10 a burger. They almost shouldn't be in the discussion just based on that. It's like comparing Taco Bell and an actual Mexican restaurant.

scho63 · 08-29-2022, 04:01 PM

1. Smashburger has real nice size and flavorful burger and good fries and sell beer.

2. Culvers very good too and their pot roast sandwich is excellent as well as their fries and top notch shakes. I just had a banana milk shake last week.

3. Burger King Whopper and Wendy's Dave Single are the two best of the big names.
Tasty, good size so you can taste the burger, plus fresh lettuce tomato onion.

In-and-Out and Five Guys overrated.

McDonald's the worst and getting more shitty by the day.

I don't eat at Checkers, Rally, Sonic, Steak Shack.

Whataburger has horrible dry buns.

Roy Rogers makes a big burger but it is flavorless and tastes like it sat in water.

Never tried Shake Shack but hear it's good.

Also I've heard Dairy Queen has a good burger but takes 15-20 minutes at a minimum from order.

Sassy Squatch · 08-29-2022, 04:03 PM

BackYard Burgers is such a tragedy. The one in Independence is still decent but other than that they've all but died.

oldman · 08-29-2022, 04:05 PM

Five Guys is probably the best, but since there's no drive-thru, it didn't get my vote. A drive-thru is pretty important when you're an old guy with arthritis. Therefore, Culver's gets my vote.

Hoover · 08-29-2022, 04:17 PM

Yeah I love a good burger basket at a dive bar. Nothing better

KCUnited · 08-29-2022, 04:23 PM

I should really try Culvers now that I live in chain restaurant purgatory.

I tried Freddy's awhile back and while I enjoy that style of burger it was way too dry, so possibly just a bad time of day for them.

And despite having a bad experience at the Whataburger in KC, their green chile burger is pretty darn good at the location near me.

From that list, if they were all lined up on the same street in their current state, I'd probably go Shake Shack based on what I've been able to try.

**Rain Man** · 08-29-2022, 04:27 PM

I went with Five Guys, but there's a broad ecosystem of burgers and there are different roles that they can fill. I like Wendy's and McDonald's sometimes, and even White Castle. But they're not competing with Five Guys if we're talking taste.

I also have a positive perception of Steak N Shake, though I haven't been to one in years. Are they still (or were they ever) good? I seem to remember liking them.

I'm not familiar with a majority of the places in the poll so maybe there's some magical discovery that awaits me in the future.
