Replies to: Best burger chain?
When I travel I try to make it a point to try fast food burgers that are not available around me.
In-N-Out is still my favorite, but there are none around me. I have to get that on TDY out to California or Texas.
I've never had Shake Shack, but if I'm ever around one, I'd like to try it out. There are some Smash Burgers about an hour or so north of me, but I haven't been up that way in a bit, so no opportunity to try them out.
I had Culver's on a trip to the midwest, and perhaps it was a bad day for them but I was unimpressed.
Freddy's Steakburgers was actually really good the one time I was able to try them out.
We have a Five Guys and Cookout in the area, Five Guys is the better burger, but I can get a double cheese w/ Cajun from Cookout and that is all the burger needs to be pretty good, and they are cheaper.
Would say Shake Shack and In 'n Out...but I'm really no judge. Do not eat fast food burgers nowadays
When I have a burger, I like it medium rare and the chains can't cook that way.
On the rare occasion I eat fast food, I'll get a chicken sandwich these days.
In-N-Out and Blake’s Lotta’ Burger would be my top 2
Both are regional, and not anywhere near where I live. I do hit Culver’s from time to time as my wife likes the Culver’s cheese curds.
Chick-Fil-A is my goto for fast food these days.

The Burger's Priest, Red Robin, Smashburger?
I know most of you haven't heard of The Burger's Priest but it's a popular chain in Ontario. With burger names like New York's Finest Taxi Service, The High Priest, The Vatican City, Blue Steel, Double Magnum, Noah's Ark, The Tower of Babel, The Pope, Judgement Day, Armageddon and The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, it'd better be great. And it is. Fantastic flavour, creative designs and reasonable prices. If you're ever up this way, it is worth the effort to find one of their restaurants and try for yourself. I've linked their menu below. It's worth a look.
As for the American chains, I think Red Robin is excellent, and would be my go to if I had a choice.
Finally, I didn't see anyone mention Smashburger. I've had it twice in the US and thought it was great. Is that not a widely held opinion, or are there just not enough of them to get recognized?

Have not been to a Smash burger yet.

If you are talking about just the burger… five guys.
They use less chuck in their burger which makes it taste meatier.
Never heard of Culver’s before this thread
I’ve sampled most of the rest over the years. Everyone in CA loves the In n Out...it’s fine.
Culvers is similar to shake shack without the sauce.
They have a whole bunch of other options though, I often get the cod sandwich. Their cheese curds are excellent as well. If you visit the Midwest, give em a try.
Got them in Nashville.

Shake Shack...Shake Shack...Shake Shack.....(how many votes can I send in?)...
The mobs that would form in Madison Park were unbelievable...mostly professional types from the local businesses and hospitals...

White Castle? What?
You could add Red Robin and Whataburger at 4 and 5 on my list.
Ooo. Five Guys is a good call too!

None of those are available where I live
I have noticed that the burgers from McD, BK, and Wendy’s have seriously deteriorated in the last few years. I pretty much have avoided them for a while.
They all suck, add Hardee's to that suck list too.

Big Boy
In some ways, Big Boy never left. He's always offered the same high-quality meals at competitive prices.
Is Culver's found outside the Midwest?

According to their website:
you can visit a restaurant in the following states: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota and Wisconsin
Those are Cow Country states, full of rubes. I'm disqualifying the Culver's nomination.
(no message)
True, but cow country rubes know their beef and burgers as well as their brats and hogs.
Disqualification unnecessary. Culver’s are also pretty good.
If u ain't down with the swine, you got issues.
