Fast Food Burgers

Haha cultural difference maybe?

[Darrell]

perhaps.

Best burgers I've ever had were at a small place in Huntington Beach, CA called TC Burgers. Right on the beach. Maybe it was the view and the weather, but yum!

For national chain fare, I would go with Red Robin.

Red Robin (not fast food)
In-N-Out
Culvers
Steak N Shake
Carl's Jr

but the best burgers are usually found at local joints

Five Guys for Me too! Their Cajun fries are killer.

However, when we make them at home, we make PIMENTO cheeseburgers. YUM!

Not fast food, but if you are ever in Minneapolis/St Paul, you must try a "juicy lucy" burger at the 5-8 Club:

How could I forget SNS? I love their teeny tiny fries.

Tiarali, I guess burgers are an American thing. No wonder we're so fat!

Saw some diner on Food Network's Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives that had juicy lucy burgers. We've made them at home a few times sing. OMG...heaven in a cheeseburger!

Probably the 5-8 or its cross town competitor. I've made them at home, too. Not quite as good as at the 5-8, though. Good fries and onion rings, too. But on our second visit last summer, we had learned that we need only one order of those to share as the burgers are so filling.

Burgers are Eating crap!? No, sliders are what you eat when you want to eat crap, and when you want to crap - cause their called sliders for a reason...just sayin.

Next tier up:
The Burger King Whopper is still one of the best for me. Like the fries too.
The Big Mac is a staple in my diet

Tier 3:
Five guys is ok, it is what it is, but I'm not always in the mood. I go with a double with bacon and shrooms and skip the fries - eat a pile of peanuts though.
Sonic is always a good option - tots instead of fries of course, and maybe a blue coconut cream slush to wash it down
The Culver's Butter Burger is an off and on - it can be good

Love a more high end burger myself - the thick 1/3 lb with cajun seasoning and crumbled blue cheese - bacon if I'm feeling healthy. Nobody really does this well fast food, but lots of places do a decent burger if you don't need it to come through a window into your car. Usually bars or local places do better than a chain. Nothing quite like a good hand packed burger with bacon and bleu in a high quality bun. Simple and divine
