prefer beef burgers but chicken sandwich is ok too
Extra Details:
In your opinion, which fast food chain has the best burger? Rank your favorite burger spots! What about their fries? I would prefer big, juicy beef patties but if there are amazing fried chicken sandwiches besides Chick Fil A, I'm all ears.
I would seriously consider taking down a job offer if it means relocating to a state that doesn't have In-n-Out. Its fries are mediocre at best, but nobody can beat a Double double animal style.
If you love a juicy, customizable, and made-to-order burger among fast food chains, Five Guys is hands-down one of the best. It’s my go-to when I want a classic, all-American burger done right—no gimmicks, just fresh ingredients and insane flavor.
The experience is simple but perfect—no drive-thru, just fresh burgers grilled right in front of you. The red-and-white tile decor feels retro, and you can munch on free peanuts while you wait. It’s not fancy, but when a burger tastes this good, who cares?
The Beef Patties are super juicy, never frozen, and griddled to perfection. There’s a slight crust on the outside but still melt-in-your-mouth tender inside. They also double up the patties on a regular burger. Unlike places that nickel-and-dime you for extras, Five Guys lets you go wild with toppings at no extra charge. My usual order? A bacon cheeseburger with grilled onions, mushrooms, jalapeños, lettuce, and extra pickles. Their mayo + ketchup combo just hits differently.
Their Cajun fries are next-level addictive—crispy, hand-cut, and drowning in a glorious mix of spices. Even the regular fries come in massive portions (seriously, they fill the bag up).
Five Guys nails the quality, flavor, and customization every single time. It’s a little pricier than typical fast food, but for a burger that actually tastes like a real burger, it’s 100% worth it.
Shake Shack is hands down my favorite big-chain burger spot, and for good reason. Their ShackBurger is the perfect balance of a juicy, well-seasoned patty, soft potato bun, melty cheese, and that addictive ShackSauce—it’s simple, but ridiculously good. The crinkle-cut fries? Always crispy, never greasy.
But let’s talk about the real star: the milkshakes. Thick, creamy, and just the right amount of sweet, they’re on a whole other level. Whether you go for classic vanilla, chocolate, or one of their seasonal flavors, you can’t go wrong. It’s the perfect way to top off the meal.
Honestly, no other fast-casual burger chain hits quite like Shake Shack. It’s quality ingredients, made right, every single time.
