Here in nz we have burger fuel. The backfire from them is pretty good

Max. Hands down.

I'm a Hardee's person. That mushroom and Swiss is my fav

I like Dirty V (Norway) and Vincent (Germany). I can go with Max Burger (Scandinavia) too, if the other options are MacDonald's or Burger King, as these two mainly make vegetarian food that is unseasoned and lazy.

It used to be Fat Burger, but the only one near me closed.

Now it is Five Guys.

Yall gonna think I’m crazy but Farmer Boys. Everybody else around me gonna say In-N-Out.

They are all more or less the same to me.

Bit better than average there is the local one across the street but it's not a franchise so none of you would know it.

The burger king next to the airport an hour north of here was a pleasant positive surprise.

I still miss the one-man operation from my childhood. Tiny building, 5 seats. Not sure how he could make ends meet. He retired in the early 2000s I think.

I don’t know if it is considered boutique, but Five Guys and Smash Burger are top in my book. If you’re only counting drive up availability, In-n-out.

White Castle and P. Terry's from Austin.

I've only had hesburger and mcdonalds, and out of the 2 I'd take hesburger :p

Hard to beat Carl's Jr. (Hardees) for me. Haven't had one in 15 years, though.

I haven't eaten a huge variety of hamburgers, but I particularly liked the "Tobikiri Cheese" burger (now discontinued) from the Japanese hamburger chain Mos Burger.

Mos Burger emphasizes using "domestically sourced" ingredients, and among the many foreign-owned burger chains in Japan, it particularly pursues a taste tailored to Japanese palates.

Furthermore, this hamburger chain stands out among Japanese hamburger chains, having been the first to sell the "Teriyaki Burger" (also known as the Samurai Burger).

Unfortunately, this favorite menu item is no longer available, but I like the overall flavor direction of this brand, so I'm thinking of going back again.

Oh my goodness, oh my dayum...

I ordered Steakhouse from Burger King the first time I went there and it was good so that's what I've gotten every time since. I haven't even tried any of the others.

Here's a shoutout to Albino Black Sheep!

There is a local business called The Real McCoy - their mojo burger is the best burger I've ever had anywhere.

Honorable mentions - The Burger's Priest bone marrow lettuce wrapped was great.

Harvey's veggie burger was a solid choice.

BK Whopper of the major chains.

Lick's

Dairy Queen

Where in Canada? Toronto has small shops that are better than any of the big chains.

• Rudy
• Cleo's
• Rosie's
• Burgernator

But if you're asking me to pick from the well known chains I'd have to go with Shake Shack over the others.

I don't get the appeal, any burger you make at home is going to be a million times better than a fast food burger. You don't even have to complicate things, just buy the buns, butter and toast them, spread a spoonful of aioli, throw some fresh salad from the market, press garlic, a big slice of ancient tomato, there, it's already better than any store-bought and we haven't even gotten to the patty.

it kinda depends on the size of the chain. like there is a burger place near my house that has the best burgers but its not a chain. For the been around a long time and large chains I felt wendys held up the longest. Burger king was great in the 80's but went down hill. It seems that its still decent if you are away from a major metro area. Basically they are not cooking on demand in high density places. You can still request it be cooked and made fresh which makes a big difference. their patty is skinny as heck still now.

Despite reddit and Lemmy nerds screeching, McDonald's is fantastic.

That being said a fast food burger is a burger, they are all pretty much the same except form factors.
