Whataburger forever and always
Freddy’s or Culver’s. Shake shack gets a distant third place if nothing else is nearby.
Outside of my area, it’s white castle. Miss u baby 😿
Freddy’s > Culver’s
But I won’t eat either now that I’m vegan 🤐
Dick’s in Washington state
this is what I came to say as well, god that dick’s deluxe I don’t even eat meat anymore but i still crave those fuckers
+1 to this. And yes I’m extremely biased as a kid from Seattle.
Killer Burger. That peanut butter bacon burger is insane.
Five Guys is overrated. They’re a fine homemade style burger, not nothing I would call the best.
In Canada, it’s easily A&W.
A&W burgers are so basic, they’re almost bland.
Dairy Queen, Fatburger, Five Guys, Burger’s Priest - they all easily clear A&W burgers.
Chubby chicken is gas tho.
I’m a big burger’s priest fan, holy smokes rules.
Most of those other places aren’t available in Canada. Also, Canadian A&W is independent from American A&W so maybe their food is a bit different too. Canadian A&W is great
I’m in Canada, those places are all within a kilometre of me rn
Five Guys
So expensive though. But the last time I was there, they just filled the bag with fries instead of using one of those little cardboard boxes. I ended up throwing half a pound of fries away.
Yeah, it’s great. Order a small fries, they fill a small cup with fries, put it in the bag, then top the bag up with fries. Order large fries, they perform the process with a larger cup.
I love it, but can’t plan to do anything other than nap after eating there
I like Whataburger and in n out equally, sometimes i feel like one, sometimes the other.
I have a hard time recommending Whataburger to others – you’re not missing anything special if you’ve never had it.
But – it’s my go-to. Give me some meatycheesyblobness and spicey ketchup please.

Farmer Boys in SoCal. The avocado burger gave me a solid 20 pounds back when I was very overweight and gaining. Working 7/12 nights with Farmer Boys nearby the asphalt plant, I ate that one way too much.
- In n out
- Carl’s Jr
- A ten way tie between most other places
- 2020 McDonalds
- 1995 McDonalds
For actual fast food - - that you can order in a drive-thru and not have to wait around for - - the best around here is honestly Wendy’s. They’re not anything id pay $20 each for, but their average burger is better than their just-as-fast competition.
If by “fast” you really mean “without waitstaff”, they’re all great. 5 guys, smashburger, fuddruckers", and a dozen tiny chains all make burgers worth paying a premium for.
About the only place NOT worth getting a burger at is anyplace with waitstaff. They just dont take them seriously enough to do a good job, and wind uo about as good as a slightly well-run McDonald’s.
(*: i think this one went out of business.)
I agree with the first part but vehemently disagree with the third paragraph.
I suspect it varies wildly based on where you live, but in Chicago there absolutely ARE places with waitstaff worth getting a burger from.
Agreed, and some of them are cheaper than the fast food at this point
wendy’s single with cheese and bacon. fries. frosty. classic lunch.
but, if there was a white castle nearby–that’s where i’m going. the original ‘fast food’ burger is still the best.
I only disagree with paying a premium for a burger at the other places.
It’s a freakin burger, not a steak. $15+ for a burger is nuts (and I worked in restaurants at one time, so I understand the challenges for them, it’s a tough business).
Freddy’s
There’s a local burger place where I live that’s basically an In-N-Out without the branding. Excellent cheeseburgers. The owner even uses locally sourced beef so the burgers are pretty fresh.
I’m a fan of SmashBurger
Same. Easily the best quick burger.
Nexx Burger and Burgerlords but I’m vegan so they’re only the best available to me in Los Angeles.
in-n-out
