Sadly I don’t have a taste for burgers or meat these days. It just upsets my stomach.
FYI: Checkers = Rally’s, and the Rally’s in my home area are pretty much gone. Don’t think I’ve seen them anymore in Southern Indiana, and I know they pretty much dropped dead in St. Louis.
Also, why isn’t Wendy’s on any tier lists?
Best gourmet burger I’ve had is Red Robin, and it also happened to be the only one in my area until Five Guys finally showed up.
There’s a chain in Korea called Kraze Burger which isn’t too bad.
Does this discussion only include burgers that come from a chain or can we include burgers from any local bar/restaurant that we know?
Also question: Is a burger more tasty the cheaper it is? Is it quantity over quality or is it vice versa?
I worked there for three years. You have no idea what you’re talking about.

Our selection in Canada is so limited compared to our Southern neighbours. Everything sucks a little bit more in Canada in terms of selection and even quality. Although, I was in France for a little while and fast food expectancy is much higher. I ordered a “Royal avec Fromage” or a Quarter pounder with cheese and it was honestly so much better than anything I had in Canada or the US. It was grilled just long enough and they used Big Mac sauce on a quarter pounder. High class fast food.
French McDonalds - S-Tier
We’ve had ample back and forth over which chain is best and this and that but, we haven’t really clamped down on some proper judging criteria. This is something that has to be rectify. Considering this is SRK, we should go hard as fuck when it comes to this since there is no other way for us. Preliminary ones stand at:
Flavor (how well can you taste both meat and seasoning)
Juiciness (overcooked burgers, while an american tradition, are not garbage people should be spending money on)
Assembly (is it actually put together well for eating or just stuff thrown around inbetween two buns).
Greasiness (Greasy burgers have their place, but it definitely shouldn’t feel like a fat guy sucking his own tit)
Use of toppings (do the additional flavors work well together. Who cares if it has avocado, provologne and comes with a blowjob from Janet Jackson, does it work well).
Overall (we all have different tastes, so this one would be the discretionary score to account for that).
All categories would be 1-10 except for overall which gets a 1-5 (to minimize bias in the judging of burgers).
I think tiering by price range is important. Some places offer a good balance of price/quality, while others don’t do much for the money they charge. I’d rather have an A tier 5 dollar burger than a C tier 8 dollar one.
My cousins told me McDonalds is not allowed to put out the kinda crap we have in the States. For example, chicken nuggets have to be by law, made out of 100% chicken muscles.
@Raz0r I’ve just walked into Shake Shack. Brah, these prices are more oppressive than Five Guys.
I’ll eat my words if this burger is godlike, but $9 for just the burger is not a good look.
Edit: this place has local beer on tap and has menu items made for dogs. I should’ve known a probable racist would send me to a burger joint for hipster white people.
How are Red Robin and Five guys?
Never had em.
I find it funny red robin is on the burger tier lists when to me its the most uninspired, corporate fueled burger joint in the area. I’d much rather have a burger from islands or even a carls Jr 6 dollar burger with homemade bun than that place
Yeah but what about a $5 b tier burger vs a $10 a tier one?
People also wildly overstate 5 guys prices. It’s closer to $6 than $10 for a burger
10~ is around the cost of the meal. Either way, more suggestions on criteria than other nonsense. Right now just saying 5 guys is godlike doesn’t tell us anything.
Oh man I laughed out loud at this.
Shake Shacks vary in price store by store. That price inconsistency is REALLY annoying. I went to the one in the Financial District a week ago and the prices were great! Three burgers, two orders of fries, and two beers came out to just under $40. But I’ve also been through ones where it’s $9 a burger which is bullshit.
Enjoy the local beer, you asshole. New York has GREAT beers.
Where? When? Maybe things changed. A manager told me that.
40 dollars for 3 burgers, two fries, and two beers…
So 9 dollars for the burgers, 1.50 for fries, and 5 bucks per beer or something?
Yeah great prices asshole. hope you and your “dawgs” enjoy your meal
It will never ceases to amaze me how people stan for these burger chains on the West coast that run-of-the-mill delis and diners fucking crush.
Every time I think about 5 Guys, I want a burger, but it reminds me how shitty 5 Guys is. So I got Whataburger instead!
The fries are $4, but hey, if you cannot afford that you should try this place instead, you poor motherfucker.
there is a SmashBurger near the place where i work, i’ll try to make it out there next weekend and take pics.
I gottta admit, I had a Five Guys burger over the weekend and it was pretty good. A little pricey but good at the same time. Definitely not Whataburger, but better than I remember.
