Consumer Reports Readers Rate The Best Burgers

[crandc]

I eat fast food maybe once a year if that. I've had In & Out when going to see the Blazers in Sacramento since it's near Arco. I have not been impressed. Saying it's better than McDonalds is like saying intestinal flu is better than ovarian cancer. True, but still sucks.

There's a GREAT burger place in Berkeley. I don't go often since it's horrendously calorific but they use real ingredients, make each one individually, they're huge, bake the rolls, make the fries from real potatoes. I usually get California Burger, with jack cheese (G-d will forgive this unkosher indulgence) and avocado. Not a slice, a whole avocado, organic sprouts, other stuff. Usually a friend and I split a half order of fries and half salad. And are too stuffed for dessert.

Good to see Burgerville represented. They've got quality burgers for a fast food joint.

And Five Guys is great.

In-N-Out. Haven't had it but no surprise there.

Randomly
I used to live down the street from the first five guys, before it was a chain. Good times. They certainly deserve to be near the top.

Fuddruckers does not, in any shape or form, deserve to. Yuck. Way overpriced and somehow very nasty

Aren't Carls Jr and Hardees the same, just branded different in different locations? So does the different rating reflect some sort of sampling issue or is it regional variation in what makes a burger good.

Are Rally's and Checkers the same? Think so.

BKs quality has really seemed to fall off in recent years. Used to get it a lot, but it seems like they don't have the same build quality they used to.

Where is Arby's?

Where is Arby's?

Please read the title of the report, and get back to us.

Hint: You will never find something in the title at an Arby's....or Chick-fil-A

Blow it out your ass.

Blow it out your ass.

Some people are forced to do that with Arby's food, yeah.

In England, a burger is a burger. A chicken burger, roast beef burger...

Ah. Generally, here, burgers are beef (though sometimes, very infrequently, turkey or lamb). Then you have chicken and roast beef sandwiches.

Interesting.

Yeah, but you guys have Dunkin Donuts on every street corner, so it makes up for it.

I've heard horror stories about Dunkin from a friend who used to work there.

Apparently, almost every donut they don't sell, they re-fry the next morning. And they supposedly don't change the oil of their fryers as frequently as they should. Their donuts are full of trans fats.

Oh the horrors!

Don't blame me that you don't know what a burger is.

It's also not my fault that The English contribution to world cuisine: the chip. Anyone know what movie that is from?

The English contribution is also helping you communicate with me. Are you trying to say the burger is a good contribution to the world cuisine?

 

[Minstrel]

Are you trying to say the burger is a good contribution to the world cuisine?

Of course it is. Are you casting aspersions upon the great cheeseburger?

 

[Colonel Ronan]

No, but your heart is.

In N Out is waaaay overrated.

the worst thing about Burger King is the inconsistency. If they had more quality control, the Whopper would be near the top. Its an awesome burger.




Also, Fat Burger Beats the shit outta In-n-Out in So Cal too.

I'm eating a Whopper right now and it's one of those good ones.

Burger King is fucking gross. The only thing I will eat from there is a chicken sandwich and even those are soggy.

There's a great new place on 28th in NE between Burnside and Glisan called the City State Diner. Global deluxe burger is amazing. Really high quality stuff.

here's the menu. http://www.citystatediner.com/assets/CSDmenu.pdf

Anyone remember the $1 whopper back in the day? I ate 4 in one sitting when I was in highschool.

It looks like dirty pond water.

It looks like dirty pond water.

But, it tasted so crisp and syrupy just like a real Pepsi.

I don't think they were talking about sex.
