Poll question: Best Fast Food Cheeseburger and Fries

Which fast food chain has the best burger and fries combo? I know that not all of these chains are national, so feel free to write in your favorite.

[flying rabbit]

1. Burgerville

Northwest's finest.

[arcadian]

2. Five Guys - where Obama went the other day.

Best in my opinion. I think they only have them in D.C. and Virginia.

[Yavin4]

3. Five Guys Is Here In NYC

I forgot them.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

9. Keep forgetting them .........

They started here in Alexandria, and even at the beginning, their burgers were mediocre.

Their hot dogs, though, were really good.............

[blue_onyx]

10. Apparently they have locations in the Detroit area

I may have to go check them out. Although, I prefer hot dogs so I might try that instead of a burger.

[ScreamingMeemie]

21. Daydreamin (here on DU) works at one in the area.

[LaydeeBug]

11. FIVE GUYS!!!! nt

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

15. They've expanded all the way into CT now

[fizzgig]

16. they've made it out here to colorado

it is a tasty burger and the fries are killer.

[GOPisEvil]

18. They have one here in the Seattle 'burbs now.

I haven't been, but I've heard good things.

[ScreamingMeemie]

20. DaydreaminHippie works at one in Michigan. I like that the fries

are made from potatoes on site.

23. I just drove by a sign today that says "Five Guys coming soon!"

Which, while it sounds vaguely dirty, I assume to mean a Five Guys restaurant will be built in the near future. ;)

I'm in Boise.

[arcadian]

31. They are in Boise now? Ah well, they are no longer good.

Joking of course. ;-) Best movie about Boise, 'Moving' starring Richard Pryor.

[jobycom]

39. They have them in Texas.

They have several locations around Austin, Killeen, and San Antonio.

[Moondog]

51. There is a Five Guys in Ocala, FL.

Of all places. I ate at the original some years ago in Arlington, VA (lived just down the road), so when I saw this place in Ocala, I had to check it out. It's the real thing. In the middle of geezerville. But it draws a real crowd. The geezers know their burgers.

[Midlodemocrat]

52. +1

In fact, heading there right now. LOL.

[NightWatcher]

4. BK is the best flame cooked burger that can be flung through a window to you

works for me when I feel like a fast cheap burger

[AlCzervik]

5. Joe's Cable Car in San Francisco, if i go back to being a carnivore Joe's is my 1st stop.

[Cant trust em]

34. I felt like Joe's is good, but not quite up to the hype

A little more than I usually want to pay for a burger. I do love how it's steeped in San Francisco lore though.

[Mojambo]

6. Dairy Queen's grill burgers. n/t

[obxhead]

7. 5 guys.

[Broken_Hero]

8. Carl's Junior....nt

[madinmaryland]

12. WTF is "in and out burger" If it is something that will get this thread locked,

then that's what i will vote for!

:hi:

[EastTennesseeDem]

13. Whooooa!

Naughty naughty }(

[madinmaryland]

17. ...????

Does it come with fur?

:hide:

[EastTennesseeDem]

29. Of course

You've seen Californian nudists right?

[Sebastian Doyle]

19. That's because it was invented by them librul hippie Californicators

At least that's the only place I've ever seen one, though someone told me they expanded to Vegas in recent years (been a decade or so since I was in Sin City)

EDIT: Actually... it looks like they're taking over the whole Southwest

25. It could be worse. The option could have been for Hot 'n' Now.

(I don't know if Hot 'n' Now still exists, but it did when I lived in Wisconsin 15 years ago.)

[Initech]

14. In N Out double double and french fries animal style.

[Patiod]

44. Love their burgers, not such a fan of their fries

Probably ruined by all those coated crunchy french fries, and so now In-and-Outs's seems plain (yes, I know, hand cut and fresh).

But it's still always my first stop off the plane at LAX...

[MadBadger]

22. If Five Guys isnt considered Fast Food, my vote goes to Wendy's

I've never been to In and Out

[TommyO]

24. None of the above!

Best burger and fries combo doesn't come in a fast-food variety.

Boom Burgers in Belmar, NJ, now that's a great burger and fries combo.

http://www.boom-burgers.com/

Not an owner, just a patron.

[Kool Kitty]

26. I'll have to try it.

I'm real close to Belmar. My vote goes to American Roadside for the burgers (there's one on Long Island about five minutes away from my sister's) and to Five Guys for the fries. Best fries I ever had.

27. Sonic Drive In, baby!

[quakerboy]

38. For burgers?

the damn cream slushes are amazing though.

[Frank Cannon]

41. Their Island Fire Burger sets the gold standard for fast-food burgers

Unfortunately, it's a seasonal item that only shows up every so often.

Their dollar-menu Junior Deluxe Burger is the most satisfying cheapo hamburger around.

28. Sonic Drive In, baby!

[Morning Dew]

30. Culver's - not sure if they are nationwide.

I do love White Castle fries - they are close to perfect for fast food fries.

[Cant trust em]

33. I'm not a big fan of Culver's fries

They seem a little too Ore-Ida for me.

[Left Is Write]

45. That's why I didn't say Culvers. LOVE Culvers burgers, but the fries are meh.

[auntAgonist]

32. Harvey's in Ontario Canada.

the best.

[DarkTirade]

35. Monolith Burger. Over a gazillion served!

We have restaurants anywhere you can imagine!





Let our friendly staff take your order!

[LostInAnomie]

36. Hardee's/Carl's Jr.

The Monster Burger is the greatest thing man has ever invented. Better than all technology and medicine combined.

[EndersDame]

37. P.Terry's in Austin is tops

http://www.pterrys.com/ read their mission statement they formed and were inspired from Fast Food Nation and actually make real food

[mwooldri]

40. Hardees is what we have here...

which I guess is really Carl Jr's..

Locally we have Cook Out. Burgers are good but fries are off-shelf.

Oh and I forgot! Backyard Burgers. They're pretty neat - somewhere between Hardees and Cookout. Yum!

43. Duchess (nt)

[Dogtown]

46. Steak and Shake

according to my ESSO.

I don't eat cadavers, but their fries are good.

[TheMightyFavog]

47. Culver's

Yeah, it's a Wisconsin thing.

[One_Life_To_Give]

48. 1982 Wendy's

Today it's either my barbecue or SOL.

[Eyerish]

49. In-N-Out...

without a doubt. My mom always takes me there when I go home to visit.

[SoxFan]

50. Rally's

[Taverner]

53. In order of quality:

#1 Kirk's Steakburgers - Campbell, Cupertino and Saratoga, CA

#2 IN-n-Out (CA Chain)

#3 Burger King (sorry, they ARE good)

#4 White Castle (East Coast/Rust Belt Chain)

#5 Whattaburger (Southwest Chain)

[Brigid]

54. What about Hardee's? I like their mushroom and swiss.
