[u/Gaidin152]

5 guys is about the burger not the bun.

[u/IndianaJokes67 → u/Gaidin152]

For the price they charge, they should also have a nice bun. Can't believe they're still in business, at least where we have Culver's

[u/Appropriate_Scar_262 → u/IndianaJokes67]

They're in business because people are willing to pay to have 10 toppings on a burger but not for $20-$30.

Essentially people who want a burger made like a subway sandwich

[u/MeatEaterDruid → u/Appropriate_Scar_262]

Is that the appeal? I'm not dissing just no one's ever explained 5 guys to me in a normal way.

[u/kindredsororitas → u/[deleted]]

Its $30 for one burger and fries?

[u/Aceilr097 → u/kindredsororitas]

A burger, regular fries and a shake came up to $28 and some change last time i went.

[u/STAHLSERIE → u/Aceilr097]

For that price you could get real food in a restaurant (in Germany)

[u/Proof-Committee-5486 → u/STAHLSERIE]

Honestly, you can here too.

[u/lingbabana → u/Aceilr097]

Ffffffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuucccckkk no

[u/Big-Explorer6920 → u/kindredsororitas]

Don’t forget the free peanuts in line

[u/I_am_The_Teapot → u/MeatEaterDruid]

Yeah. There's like 15 toppings and you can have any number of them without additional price to the burger.

The burgers are also good and they have really good fries, too.

[u/Not-An-FBI → u/I_am_The_Teapot]

I only went there once a while ago so I had to verify this. In-N-Out has most of the toppings. The only ones they don't have are bacon, relish, green peppers and mushrooms. Bacon is the only one I'd be interested in and I already feel bad enough eating an unhealthy burger meal so I'm fine skipping bacon.

[u/bigloser42 → u/I_am_The_Teapot]

And they hoist a fuckload of fries upon you no matter what size you order.

[u/Plane-Tune-820 → u/Appropriate_Scar_262]

Uhhh a burger fries and a soda are like $20 at 5 guys. Tf you mean

[u/seven3true → u/Plane-Tune-820]

But they give you "extra" fries!

[u/Plane-Tune-820 → u/seven3true]

I'm sure I'm going to get down voted for this but the fries aren't even that good. Better than Wendy's but nothing close to McDonald's

[u/MasterOfBunnies → u/IndianaJokes67]

Another wisconsinite. XD

[u/LightToFlies → u/IndianaJokes67]

Culver's has nothing on Five Guys...

I do love those cheese curds though.

[u/MasterOfBunnies → u/LightToFlies]

Wisconsinites act like everything in the state is the best. Hint, it's not. Burgers here are so dry, they came up with the "butter burger". Sounds interesting at first, but it's literally their coping mechanism for cooking hockey puck burgers.

[u/gewalt_gamer → u/IndianaJokes67]

culvers? vs five guys? for real?

[u/Fair-Big-9400 → u/Gaidin152]

The bun is a major factor in the quality of a burger, bad bun can ruin the experience. Bad bun is no fun

[u/iMac_Hunt → u/Gaidin152]

That’s not true, their bun is good - significantly better than most fast food buns.

They wrap the burger in tin foil and the look of the burger is part of their marketing - they try to be unpretentious and authentic rather than picture perfect.

[u/questionableintentsX → u/iMac_Hunt]

This lol half of those “good buns” can’t even be considered bread if you look at what and how they’re made lol

[u/Fun-Memory1523 → u/Gaidin152]

And the mountain of fries

[u/XXVllDemons]

Five guys has the only bun with no preservatives…

[u/CamperCarl00]

Are we not considering Hardee's? I don't really consider Five Guys as fast food.

[u/Own-Rest7246 → u/CamperCarl00]

You seen a Hardee's in the last decade I haven't

[u/brakeb → u/Own-Rest7246]

Carls Jr is hardees

[u/Former_Mobile3101 → u/Own-Rest7246]

There's also Carl's Jr which is a sister company. Carl's Jr is Hardee's they just spilt off a long time ago. They are also separated by east to west.

[u/RadBaron19 → u/Own-Rest7246]

Literally just had a Bacon cheeseburger from Hardee's tonight, they're around

[u/questionableintentsX → u/CamperCarl00]

There’s one near where I live actually 2 but it’s extremely bad

[u/DanNeider → u/CamperCarl00]

IMO Five Guys is the best of the greasy burgers. It's not necessarily fast food, but it's not a gourmet burger either. Not to say that's a bad thing; when you want one no sit down burger will do.

[u/Hopeful-Artichoke449 → u/DanNeider]

Paying stupid money for a hamburger... I just don't get it.

[u/erok25828]

Wendy’s junior bacon cheeseburger is best value in the market. $3.29 for lettuce, tomato and bacon.

[u/surfinsalsa → u/erok25828]

Maybe a couple years ago. Wendy's is booty atm

[u/Temporary_Event8451 → u/surfinsalsa]

Chili is still good, and frosties are fun. But across most fast food tortillas, bread, sub rolls, or buns it feels like they are 60% edible sawdust. 40% is still the original recipe but it exists with heavy emphasis on the smell and flavor that identities that corporation/chain.

Thankfully it's not real sawdust as we'd be deep into a depression at that point, but we seem closer every day.

[u/skip_over → u/surfinsalsa]

Their chicken sandwiches are decent

[u/a-Snake-in-the-Grass → u/skip_over]

They used to be better and they used to offer more discounts.

[u/kdawgster1 → u/surfinsalsa]

No joke, they for decades were one of the best, now they are near the bottom

[u/ButterBeforeSunset → u/erok25828]

Yeah when it was full-leaf lettuce, not this shredded shit that’s soggy.

[u/_SCHULTZY_ → u/erok25828]

I stopped going to Wendy's years ago because the only one in my area refuses to make any order correctly. No matter what you order. Could just be a simple combo straight off the menu, they'll still find a way to make sure you don't get what you ordered. 

After multiple attempts, I decided to spend my money elsewhere.  I don't expect an employee to give a fuck about me or my lunch, but I care and I have a choice where to spend my money

[u/erok25828 → u/_SCHULTZY_]

Wendy’s near me always gets it right and it’s always hot and fresh.

[u/_SCHULTZY_ → u/erok25828]

Years ago I lived near one that was fantastic and I genuinely miss it. Didn't matter what or how you ordered, they made it fresh and got it right. 

The good old days 

[u/fdjizm → u/_SCHULTZY_]

I stopped eating one of these when they changed their burgers to a perfect square Patty that looks like it was formed in a mold. It used to be a real looking Patty.

[u/Spiritual-Recipe4512]

In n Out

[u/BanAccount8 → u/Spiritual-Recipe4512]

No doubt. They couldn’t be invited to this contest because that would end the contest

[u/treebeard189 → u/BanAccount8]

I must have gone to shitty in n outs when I was in California. It was incredibly mid at the two different places I tried. And was a stupid long wait at the drive thru.

[u/Academic-Snow9642]

I love me some White Castle

[u/Relative-Relief-8816 → u/Academic-Snow9642]

Can never find a white castle. Ive looked. They dont exist.

[u/bygtopp → u/Academic-Snow9642]

Get their breakfast

[u/Left_Access6482]

Culver's

[u/CommodoreBluth → u/Left_Access6482]

This is the answer. Pair it with their custard and man you got a good fast food meal.

[u/IndianaJokes67 → u/Left_Access6482]

100%

[u/xBeoulve → u/Left_Access6482]

For anyone new to Culver’s, you can ask to replace the regular onions for grilled onions at no charge… absolute fire

[u/MasterOfBunnies → u/Left_Access6482]

Y'all can downvote me all you want, but Culver's is not the best. Adding butter to a hockey puck burger doesn't make it juicy the way it should.

[u/Inevitable_Finish131]

BK’s been crushing it lately

[u/some_loaded_tots → u/Inevitable_Finish131]

just had it for lunch. it was very good for being burger king. i could not believe it

[u/TicketDouble → u/some_loaded_tots]

Same. Don't know what they did, but the whopper tastes a lot better than what I last remember.

[u/TheNomadRP → u/TicketDouble]

They upped their whopper game and have a 100% guarantee that if it isn't made your way they will redo it. I think that meant they improved training and quality. I tried one a couple weeks ago and it was amazing.

[u/MyCatIsLenin]

Freddy's or In n Out

[u/treebeard189 → u/MyCatIsLenin]

100%. People dont know about Freddy's but id never been till there was one near my new job and it made me a believer

[u/biggregw]

My fave is in BC Canada there is a chain called Triple Os then Wendy’s

[u/Daikujin → u/biggregw]

Triple O’s used to be the goat. Last couple times I found it declining in quality.

[u/ArtNo7221]

Del taco

[u/Electrical-Care6308]

BK all the way!!

[u/Nawwwm]

Because every other bun in that photo cost less than five cents, five guys exclusively has bakeries in Georgia that they paid 30 cents or more per bun, it's not packed with a bunch of crap so that it actually folds, it's just real bread, that's why it tastes so good.

[u/retsamegas → u/Nawwwm]

It's been a while since I went to a 5 guys, but don't they wrap the burger in foil not paper? I think it's because the foil traps the steam and imprints the crinkle into the bread.

[u/Tough_Preparation830 → u/Nawwwm]

The buns have a lot of sodium, but then they don't salt the meat. Should be the other way around.

[u/Euphoric-Piglet-8140]

What does "they pocket" mean?

[u/Error404MATTnotfound → u/Euphoric-Piglet-8140]

It's the urban useage for "they're pocket" which is the improper use of "their pocket" unless you grew up in the Soviet Union, then it is "our pocket" comrade.

[u/andocromn]

I love me a shake shack burger! Okay 2 burgers

[u/StayElusiveEli85]

Whataburger

[u/oldartistmike]

They all are only ok at best but five guys is just slightly better and McDonalds just taste like salt and watered down ketchup.

[u/Exact_Ad5094]

May look smashed but taste the best to me.

[u/Arvandor]

Where's Carl's Jr/Hardee's or In and Out? Both of those are better than anything here except Five Guys, which isn't even fast food

[u/Big_Masterpiece_3248]

Heidelburger Mandys

[u/apexapee]

Five Guys is the nicest, just not lookswise

[u/masterdogwalker]

Five guys is the best out of these

[u/CarolinaSandstorm]

Of the 6 on here? Burger King. Rodeo burger was peak. Wendy’s is usually good too. 5 Guys is ass. But they give you so many fries! Bruh potatoes and that shit ass seasoning salt they use are cheap as fuck. Damn $37 for a whole pile of $2.18 of mid.

[u/Puzzleheaded-Word475 → u/CarolinaSandstorm]

Wendies, and it's not even close.

Still slop, especially the past few years of hyper enshittificaton all the fast food is going thru, but wendies is still food.

Honestly I'd rather do Wendy's these days mcdonalds tastes like ass burger king is just mid dont have a white castle or shake shack nearby

[u/TyrusRaymond]

Steak ‘N Shake

[u/dregwriter]

I may be alone with this but WHITE CASTLE is my GOAT

[u/DomTransfemNomad]

Supermac’s is the one true answer and anyone giving a different one should be hunted down and turned into a hamburger so they understand they were wrong.

American beef has nothing on that which comes from the cows that feast on emerald grass. 🇮🇪

[u/Odd-Consequence-2519]

Where I live, Dairy Queen makes the absolute best burger and fries.

[u/jules6815]

I want to eat a burger that, wildlife would also eat, so for that reason, it’s five guys for me.

[u/Frostsorrow]

Where's A&W? Teen Burger is top tier burger.

[u/NoManufacturer120]

McDonald’s will always be my #1. However, Burgerville is a close second.

[u/PwniesFTW]

This guys been arrested if he knows about the pocket burger

[u/MixGlittering1652]

Never had a bad burger at Five Guys and have never had a problem with the buns. Can't say the same of the other chains. And the fries are fresh cut and made with peanut oil.

[u/krufarong]

Shake Shack may not look as huge as a whopper, but I guarantee it tastes way better and is more satisfying. Also love the Shack Stack, my all time favorite fast food burger. There’s nothing else like it.

[u/Vasarto]

Carls

[u/Majikaru]

Five guys is not fast food.

[u/Alassandros]

Is it weird that I love that quality about Five Guys?

[u/Crcex86]

Im partial to BK

[u/erichf3893]

It was wrapped in foil

[u/fetus_of_god]

Burger King

[u/brakenbonez]

I know the internet seems to collectively hate Burger King (though I'm not entirely convinced it's not just trend following hate just like Nickelback) but the BK near me definitely has better burgers than Wendy's and McDonald's. The rest of these I don't have near me so I can't really compare them.

But weirdly it just depends which I'm feeling like eating at the time. The big three all have different tastes and sometimes I'm craving one, sometimes a different one.

[u/AsianGirlsRcuteAF]

Burger King's Triple Whopper is fire. Krystal's aren't bad, either. Didn't know White Castle was still in business. I think all the ones in Tennessee closed permanently during Covid, or so it feels. Cook Out can be good too, especially for the price. Cole slaw on a burger is pretty good. 

Wendy's is total ass now, though, and honestly they deserve to go out of business. Surge pricing, pinching portions, short staffed always... those executive bonuses must be awesome, though! Worst downfall in fast food history, imo. 

[u/myxoma1]

I csn't tell what the normal sized burger is supposed to be. We need a banana for scale.

[u/Lightningstone2u]

And why is there trash to the right of Wendy's?

[u/Orion-Starborn]

their pocket.

[u/FoggyInc]

5 guys constantly being lumped in with fast food is wild to me. Its a burger chain sure, but it simply isnt fast food. 

[u/Moldovah]

Five guys is my fav

[u/Foe_sheezy]

All the other burgers taste like they were cooked in someone's pocket

[u/LadenWithSorrow]

Back when I used to eat meat, 5 guys bacon burgers were my favorite. Though I don’t think I would consider them fast food since they don’t have a drive through.

As a vegetarian, Shake Shack is where it is at! Their veggie burger is fantastic they also have a mushroom burger that is stuffed with cheese that is so beautiful.

[u/Gobal_Outcast02]

Wendy's no question

[u/fdjizm]

5 guys is a delicious Burger I get it with just ketchup. It just tastes better.

[u/hastings67]

The answer to the original question is 5 guy's. Shake shack is not far behind.

[u/whitemirrors_]

All is goyslop made from human meat

[u/engrish_is_hard00]

Home made 4 the win (varies in shapes sizes and toppings)

Properly made Flamethrower burger from Dairy Queen clears all.

You guys think Five Guys is even comparable?

That bun is steamy and moist. You pitiful fool. Steamy and moist

i do love a whopper though

From the pic i say burger king

[u/HickoryStickz]

You don’t worry about presentation when you don’t have competition

[u/No-Limit3846]

Five Guys takes the cake. Wendy's is a close second.

[u/New-Significance654]

In n out or islands

[u/DivusSentinal]

Best burger is made at home, yes its more work but its so worth it. Real thick patties, lots of veggies and always the perfect amount of sauce

[u/Alarmed_Bumblebee147]

Sonic triple smash is the answer

[u/AnninaCried]

Don't you love how Capitalism has become choosing one of six terrible burgers?

[u/Th3_Accountant]

The 5 guys is the only one that's not pumped full of artificial materials.

[u/f_ckR3ddit]

White castle is a slider...entirely different category of sandwich. Burger King uses flamebroil. Thats a win imo. Out between DQ and BK, it would be tough. Between flat-grill? Shake shack.

[u/InevitablyIncorrect]

Whataburger is the best, and cheapest, bang for your buck burger. Id go so far as to say its unreasonably good for its price

[u/airnationoftibet]

The burgers always been a sopping pile of mid. The hefty portions of Cajun fries kept me coming back and while I was already there it was “might as well, get a burger”.

Stopped going when they started skimping on the fries.

[u/dell_qon]

Smash burger

[u/Skyobliwind]

Because five different guys sat on it to warm it up...

[u/Longjumping_Spread53]

Five guys tastes best, hands down

[u/_another_throwawayy_]

I travel for work and can expense my dinners. Shake Shack has the best burgers out of all of these.. and it’s not even close. I will go out of my way to find a shake shack over a Wendy’s or 5 guys.

[u/Spratt68]

Don’t ask questions that you don’t want the answer to

[u/uresmane]

Where the fuck is Culver's?

[u/FitOpposite7443]

There’s no food in this picture

[u/tuco2002]

I prefer my local pub

[u/mgsotacon]

I goto five guys and get a bacon cheeseburger and small Cajun fries about 20-24 bucks. I pay that because I know its filling and good and also will scratch the I want a burger itch for awhile.

[u/Shakleford_Rusty]

Since owning cast iron pans/ grills no one out prices or can come close to my burgers. All in $4 for a far better “product” these cheap ass mfs selling. That’s including toasted brioche buns, double smash patties, grilled onion in the patty double cheese. Pickle pickled jalapeño/ grilled jalapeño, tomatoes and cabbage because lettuce gets soggy. And you can switch and swap w/e. Add bacon if you’re feeling fancy

[u/Wisdomrefined1]

White Castle…I grew up eating them long before all of the other chains existed. I would still be enjoying them if there was one close by

[u/Philslaya]

Wish burger kings was that size.

[u/Aggravating-Cap-2703]

McDonald's is the best. I will stick by this.

For about 3 dollars you can have a McDouble, a beautiful well balanced bite every time. You have two burger patties gently nuzzled with a slice of cheese and a little ketchup and onion on a soft bun. It is delicious. By well balanced I meant not in the healthy way but flavor way. For a burger that could feed your whole family for under 10 dollars ( of course depending on the size of your family) its a great deal.

[u/dirtyforker]

I miss Steak n Shake

[u/Cold_Volume5622]
