ATLskierBoth in-n-out and five guys are possibly the most overrated establishments anywhere.
in-n-out, first off, is not cheap. Sure it's cheaper than mcdonalds, but you can go to almost any fast casual establishment that has burgers and get something better for around the same price. Same with five guys. IMO, five guys is a complete rip off. You can go to Ruby Tuesdays and get a burger for the same price, and its about the same. five guys isn't even really fast food. There is no drive-thru and it takes several minutes to get your food.
The best burgers are at burger specific places that feature local ingredients.
The best fast food burger for the money, is at Cookout, which is from NC and has many locations in the south. For about $4-5, you get a burger, drink and 2 sides, all which are awesome. Bonus...Their grilled cheese sandwiches are made with hamburger buns so you can order two of them and use them as buns for your burger. fucking amazing.
In and out isn't cheaper than mcdonalds.
This thread is pointless though as there are a ton of places you can get a great burger. It all depends on where you live. And for the most part, only the people in your region will know what you're talking about.
And a good burger is hardly the most difficult thing to construct.

For the same price the burger you get at In n Out supremely out performs the cheapest burgers at Mcdonalds.
Also I forgot to add earlier that Dick's >>>>>>>> In n Out or any other fast food burger joint.

Lol. Ruby Tuesday's meat is frozen, 5 Guys is not. OH GOD NO you have to get out of your car??? OH THE HUMANITY! If I can be eating in ~5-7 minutes, that's fast enough for me- and it wasn't pre-cooked, chilling under some rusty-ass lights either waiting for somebody to order it. 5 Guys is always made to order and is literally just about as fast as you can get made-to-order food, which I appreciate personally.
I do agree fully that IN-n-Out is massively overrated though. Never saw what was so special about that place. It's just a churched-up McD's.
theabortionatorThe burgers at mcdonalds are cheaper. I like in n out, hate mcdonalds, but in n out isn't cheaper.
Yeah their shitty ass tiny Cheeseburgers and McDoubles that are on the dollar menu are cheaper. But if you spend the equivalent of what you would spend at In n Out on lets say a double double meal for about $6, the $6 Big Mac meal you get at McD's is way shittier. I phrased it sort of weird but what I meant was that for equivalent amounts of money once you pass the boundary of McD's cheap shit, the equivalent food you can get at In n Out is much better.
in n out is an awesome burger. mostly because of the fresh crisp lettuce and tomato and sauce they put on it. and the amazing chocolate milkshake. and fries. but it's a damn good burger.
Have to throw a nod to Lunch Box down in Meriden CT too... If you've never had a steamed cheeseburger, you really should. That's the place that taught me about the value of steaming cabot extra sharp.
I tried to bring Jane6 there while she was visiting, but we had to settle for Ted's instead.
It is a mess but it is amazing. They'll put the same cheese lava on anything too!
But my all time favorite burger is from this little mom and pop restaurant in Fergus Falls,MN. Can't remember what it's called but man, that's a good burger.

I can't eat at 5 guys cause I have an extreme peanut allergy. Burgatory in Pittsburgh is the best I've had tho. And I also agree with the post above about pink bicycle.

for the record, an In-n-Out double double is 3.40 (animal style is free), and a royale with cheese (1/4 pounder) from Mcdonalds is 3.70. not saying In n Out is the best burger by any means, but it is cheaper than McD.
--ski--Ferg is the best in NZ; Though I wonder how it would compare to some of the places talked about in this thread?
Ferg is good but their buns are crusty. Someone tipped me off about red star burger in wanaka and that was the best burger I've ever had, including anything from north america.
Burger priest is fine, but it's basically just eating a stick of butter between two buns that doubles as a laxative
Maybe Im old school, but a nice fresh homemade 1/2lb+ patty (grilled to your liking, about dat medium rare) on some good thick pretzel or roll or sourdough roll with good fresh cut cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and whatever else you might want is much better then any mass produced burger.
cct_222PYT in northern liberties neighborhood of Philly
this is the best i've had from PYT.....big ass patty with cheddar, cheesesteak meat, wiz, and fried onions all on a fresh baked philly soft pretzel bun === mouthgasm
other ridiculous burgers from PYT so you get the idea........
