The best fast food burger?

Perhaps this topic can be kept clear of politics, though I doubt it.

 

In your humble opinion, what's the best fast food burger:

 

1. Irrespective of price

2. Combination of price and quality

 

For me, 1. is the Carl's Jr/Hardee's Super Star and 2. is the In N Out double cheeseburger.

 

Don't consider the specials that are only available for a limited time, just the ones that are always on the menu.

   I like the In-N-Out double without cheese burger. With what burgers cost in Vegas, on the streets or in the casinos, this is the best buy of all of them. I have not tried the Carl's burger.

A 3rd vote for In-N-Out.  Five Guy's makes a mean burger and amazing fries. Finally, Arby's, when they have them, their burgers are good.

 

I'm a hermit...stay close to the hotel when in Vegas.  So this probably won't count...

 

But, if Vegas has/had Backyard Burgers, to me they were best as for flavor, at least here at home.  Price and quality.

IN-N-OUT by far. Only problem is the drive thru lines are usually pretty long, but its worth the wait.

Burger Chef. Alas, they are no more...

FIVE GUYS.   not even close.    Fresh cut fries with malt vinegar readily available to put on top.  mic drop.     Thats an east coast thing that for some strange reason people west of the Mississippi dont seem to get.  They're missing out.

 

I dont find In-N-Out to be any better than McDonalds.  I dont understand the 30 minute lines to get what essentially is a Big Mac.   People love it though.

If you like overcooked hockey pucks these are the places to go. 

Shakes tend to be pretty good though.

Five Guys is definitely found west of the Mississippi, and is very popular. I agree that they make a good burger, for me, mostly because they customize it completely for you. The big thing for me is fresh jalapenos as an option. But what gets me in there is those great fries. Cajun seasoning. Mmmmm.

 

You might have made me change my price-doesn't-matter vote. They're expensive, but worth it.

In-N-Out by a large margin...they're still affordable and quite good. I'll just add I've grown fond of Wahlburger double meat cheeseburgers, too ( I request that they leave off that special sauce, which is some derivation of 1000 Island dressing; it's a wee bit disgusting for my tastes). Further, Whataburger is still on my list of burger joints, too..with green chile of course.
