I'm curious; what fast food burger does Destructoid deem to be the best? My only criteria is that it can't be some obscure bullshit. It has to be a popular fast food joint. Also, it needs to be BEEF.

If we're playing the anywhere, anytime thing, the burgers at Stack (Mirage, Las Vegas) are incredible, as are the ones at O'Charley's (sit down restaurant). Also- Five Guys is famous and delicious.

Fast food is a different story.

I have to say that I like Hardee's Frisco Burger. That $6 burger was good too. Carl's Jr., naturally. Wendy's is passable, but not great IMO. I do think that Wendy's is the best/safest fast food overall.

Fuck Burger King and Sonic. No can do. That's basically shit in a sack. The Whopper will give you the worst aftertaste and breath ever.

Can we get a Whataburger or A & W in this bitch? Are you going to make my eyeballs roll out of their sockets with the in-and-out vote?

The above pictured burger is great, although I've never had it as a double. McD's Japan also has amazing shrimp sandwiches, but that doesn't fit in our little survey.

Lastly, what the hell happened to the Arch Deluxe?

I LOVE Rallys/Checkers. Bur Mcdonalds is good too. Becuase R/C is kind of rareish.

I don't particularly like Wendy's though. The whole square thing is a downer for me and their fry's (in this area at least) are terrible.
They are expensive as Hell, but I'll go with Hardees.
In n out burger no question

I don't even live on the west coast
I like Good Times Big Daddy Bacon Cheese Burger, but I really like all their burgers. Might be a bit too obsure though.
gameboi - true that, they're a bit over priced.


If you live in the north, I pity your unclogged arteries.

I would eat this every goddamn day if I could.

And the ketchup is the best in the world. Bar none. I'd drink it over water.
I really like In-N-Out, but I usually order an Ultimate Cheeseburger from Jack in the Box since it's easier to find a location.
A pub by me has a burger called the Dublin Burger. Has all your burger fixings with Canadian bacon and regular bacon and smoked cheddar cheese. Its good eating.

If I have to pick a fast food one I'd say the Wendys Baconator is pretty damn awesome.
I'm going with dvd's vote. Whataburger has the best friggin burgers EVAR. And they have the best ketchup.
We have a Whataburger here in Orlando and they are pretty tasty.

I have yet to experience the In-N-Out burgers yet thought.
In fact, it's lunchtime. Screw you guys, I'm going to Whataburger. Bacon'n'chz ftw.
The Double Bacon Cheeseburger at a place called Portillo's in Chicago.
@bleh

Exactly.

Also, anyone that lists McDonalds is a liar and/or is a 2 year old.

McDonalds is grey pus on a grill.
McD's makes a fine salad and a fine grilled chicken sandwich. That is it. The exception is McD's japan. Their concoctions are so gross that they're good.
wendys jr bacon cheeseburga is definetly the best for fast food.
@Clockwork

Yeah Portillo's rocks socks, I go to the downtown one every other day for lunch. I change my burger answer to Clockworks...
I actually liked the Arch Deluxe, but that may be high school nostalgia creeping in.

What-A-Burger is pimp shit, and we just got a Five Guys here in town, and I've heard good things, so I'll be checking that out as well.

A couple of places here in 'Bama are "Milo's" (seriously awesome sauce, greasy ass burgers, and pickles... so many pickles) and "Hamburger Heaven" (good quality beef, good sized patties, greasy-toasty buns). Also, a Birmingham/Auburn specialty place is called "Cheeburger Cheeburger". They have great burgers, and their fries and hand cut and taste so good that you wonder when the heart attack is coming.
For non-fast food, there's a local shop owned by some vietnamese people called Texas Hamburger Palace. They make a bacon cheeseburger that uses thick cut bacon. The burger is about 6 inches high with out lettuce or tomatoes.

And their fries have seasoning salt on them that will make you ejaculate gold into your pants.

I only get to eat there about 1-2 a year, but it's fucking worth it.

When I lived in Dallas, there was a burger joint that was run by a bunch of retired Dallas Firemen. "Burgertime" Anyone on this site would immediately gravitate there for the name alone. The constant attacks by motile pickles and eggs were easily forgotten by the excellent food and ample supply of pepper to rebuff the pickle attacks.
i like the "in-and-out", but i'm not talking burgers here....

really though, i'd rather drink freshly-spilled, still-steaming cow shit with a straw then ever eat any fast-food.
Bennigans makes these cheeseburger pita sandwiches that are ridiculously delicious. I would sell my firstborn for a lifetime supply of them if I had a firstborn.
I agree with you about Wendy's. It's definitely the way to go for a fastfood burger that can be found just about anywhere.

BUT, any good Texan knows that Whataburger is where it's fucking at. Plus, the fact that you can get one at 4am because they're open 24/7 only makes them that much better. Damn being stuck in Colorado with no Whataburgers!
I've had that Tomago burger and it is literally the greatest food I have ever put in my mouth. That is why I make it a rule to eat at a McDonald's in any foreign country I go to. As for the states I love the Five Guys (in fact I think I'll get it for lunch) but Carl's Jr., whcih there are sadly none of in DC, is fucking amazing. Also I enjoy me some Fudruckers if that counts.
oh and remeber when mcdonalds burgers came with everything seperated so the lettuce was still crispy...that was cool.
dubcees! murder burgers ftw!



i hear in-and-out is the shit, but i never ate one.
I'll have to try Portillos burgers then then. I've eaten at the one on Clark and Ontario a couple of times, but never had the burgers.

But until then time, I'll go with Hardees/Carl's Jr. (same thing) and Whataburger. Although In-and-Out's not my favorite, I don't get the hate.
I really like Whataburger. They taste like old-fashion burgers used to taste when I was a kid. Plus, you really can get them how you damn please. The one near me always asks how I'd like it before putting it into the manufacturing queue.

I was going to say Backyard Burger as well, but thinking back, I've had better chicken sandwiches there than burgers. Their blackened chicken sandwich with the carolina BBQ sauce and coleslaw is pretty awesome. Not as good as an actual pulled pork sandwich prepared the same way, but pretty good nonetheless.

BigMacs still hold a special place in my stomach so I won't dog McD's. The whopper is great too. Wendy's has great burgers.

My list:
WhataBurger
Hardees/Carl's Jr.
Backyard Burger
Burger King
McDs
HAHAH! Got one!
I would say In & Out burger if we had one. Now I'm stuck with a Big King XXL or just Big Mac, since we only have Burger Kings and McD's in Holland. Oh and KFC but that's always full of black people :/
Best fucking burger in the world is the one that I make on the grill, SUCKA. Hands down. Come out for Otakon, I'll hook you up.
I haven't tried all of these, but I know I love the taste of Burger King. Just me, I guess.
Best fast food burger is from Five Guys. Hands down no questions.

Best burger ever is made by my mother. Want to fight about it?
Steak & Shake steak burgers with the works is pretty damn good, but it falls apart about halfway through. Plus you can floss your teeth with their fries.
Best fast food burger here?

Hmm, I've have to say Whataburger. Hands down.
in-and-out burger animal style
Also, is that a fucking Big Mac with egg and bacon? Why don't we have those over here?
@Topher: Would you really want that? It looks like it could have the potential of turning your ass into Mount St. Helens.
As far as a national chain with places everywhere I'll have to go with Wendy's, have yet to try the baconator and my arteries probably thank me for that, but I have to at some point. At least Wendy's seems to be a little fresher than most other fast food places.

For my small local place theres one called Peros Brothers, good gyro place, has what they call the big baby. Double cheeseburger, fries, and a medium drink for $2.99. Why is it good? Because when you get it home you can see through the bag.
anything at In & Out

philly cheesesteak burger at Carl's Jr.

bacon bacon cheeseburger at Jack in the Box (it's got strips of bacon AND bacon bits fucker!)

anything at Culvers (surprised nobody said this place)

and yeah, the wendys jr bacon cheeseburga IS definitely the best for fast food.
damn it i knew i'd forget one:
Wendy's Bacon Mushroom Melt. mmm.
So far I'd go with either Burgermaster or In N Out (in n out is prefered though). i've heard great things about whataburger though.
A place called Tuxie's in Riverside, California. I challenge any of you mother fuckers to eat a hamburger there, and NOT say, holy fucking christ this is the best titty-licking hamburger I have ever fucking tasted!
Cause you will.
I lived in California most of my life. In-N-Out is definitely not the best. Tuxie's sounds promising except for the fact that I'd never go anywhere near Riverside in the first place.

If I'd have to pick, and it'll kill you, I'd go with Carl's, or as the tards out here call it, hardee's 6 dollar burger. Suppose it's not their fault, rather their good fortune, that Carl's bought that shitty chain and improved it. There is a place called "Spangles" over in Witchita that's pretty good, but frankly, we can't consider mom & pop fast food joints. Nation-wide access is a must.
From what's available to me, I gotta go with the Stack Attack or a well made Baconator from Wendy's.
If there were a Hardee's in my area I'd want to vote for them, but we aint' got shit.
Red Robin makes some awesome burgers too, but they really aren't fast food.

And Dale, hell yes to Five Guys. When you come in for the wedding maybe we can track down the one in Scranton.
Best burger? I think it's the Cheeseburger health pickup in Earthbound because when you first get it, it's like "Aww yeah, I can eat burgurz and heal up"
My list(let me show you it)[not in order]
Cheeburgercheeburger
five guys
wendys
In-n-Out

Also, egg big mac= DO WANT IN STATES
