Ultimate List of Fast Food Hamburgers – Worst to Best (4 of 4)

Fuddruckers: Customizable hamburger

Fuddruckers think they are so good; they actually have their slogan as “World’s greatest hamburgers”. And while this might not be 100% true, they definitely get an A for effort in the greatness department. First off, they ascertain freshness by grilling every burger to order; something not a lot of big burger chains T customizable. Having the choice of custom tailoring your burger is heady in its own, and not something that one can find at some of the bigger, better burger chains in existence.

And then, the patties are definitely worth more than a passing mention. They are never frozen and they come from the absolute best-cut beef. Add the fact that they are thick, juicy and nice, and you have a winner. The downside of Fuddruckers is that they kind of impose their cheesy sauce on customers, encouraging diners to opt for that instead of regular melted cheese. We definitely do not like that, which makes this burger fall higher on our list.

Culver’s: Original BetterBurger

Now, we are getting to the good stuff. The Culver’s Original ButterBurger offers diners a well-seasoned, seared to order fresh beef served on a well-buttered, toasted bun. The toppings offered are customizable to suit each person’s taste with some of the options as – pickles, lettuce, red onions, mustard and ketchup, and even Wisconsin cheddar. The cheddar boosts this burger chains rep, making their burger look so much better than some of their rivals’ who offer plastic looking goop in the name of the cheese.

They are definitely ticking all the right boxes to score points as a decent fast food burger. Their impeccable process is also all evident in the final product. The beef is well flavored, although can also be quite dry and less thick than the ones on our esteemed top three, but the toasted bun balances that out by keeping all of the toppings in place and perfectly warm and moist. This is definitely as good as you could get without being 100% perfect. This leads us to our perfect top three.

Whataburger: Whataburger

Whataburger – the go-to burger destination of any Texan. And it holds that title for good reason, too. The burger house’s main attraction is customization; diners are given the choice of choosing between any combination of lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, mayo, jalapenos, cheese, ketchup, grilled peppers, bacon, and wait for it – avocado. Definitely a good deal, right?

The patties in the burger are nicely seasoned, fresh, and grilled to perfection, while the buns themselves are well-toasted. And they are also a well-fitting size, too. Usually, Whataburger patties are wider than most of its rivals. The downside of this is that to really get a fully wonderful burger, you might have to just order a burger with double patties. But, all in all, a pretty good deal, right?

Five Guys: Hamburger

Five Guys hamburgers are built with two patties enclosed in a toasted bun with the added incentive of customer’s choice of toppings. The toppings include pickles, lettuce, grilled onions, tomatoes, grilled mushrooms, jalapenos, fresh onions, green peppers, mayo, mustard, ketchup, relish, BBQ sauce, and hot sauce. The patties are succulent and well-grilled. They might be a bit too thin but, that’s why there are two parties in each hamburger to compensate.

What else can we say? The buns (sesame) are nicely soft and there is a perfect balance between toppings and buns. Most times, the toppings getting in the way is due to the customer’s own choice of toppings but, with the right combination, you build a burger that is bursting with flavor. We can call to mind very few things that can rival the taste of a fresh Five Guys hamburger. And most Americans will fully agree with me.

In-N-Out Burger: Hamburger

And good people of the web, here we have it… the moment we’ve all been waiting for, the crème de la crème, the king of all burgers, the undisputed heavyweight champion of the burger world: In-N-Out burgers. The toppings on the godfather of all burgers are pretty simple (tomatoes, onions, and lettuce) – which says quite a lot about moderation, but add up a truly special sauce, and anything else this burger lacks is completely made up for. Everything that goes into the burger is fresh- take a look into the kitchen of your local In-N-Out next time you are there, and we guarantee you wouldn’t find a single freezer or microwave anywhere in sight. The vegetables are hand-selected and basically, everything is free of any preservatives or additives.

The patties are perfectly cooked on the grill and, the choice of toppings may be sparse, but they are definitely generous in quantity without ever being too much. You can always tell that the ingredients are fresh, with all of the vegetables tasting so genuinely real. Definitely not something other burger chains can brag about, right?
