Is a national survey of which fast food chain has the best burger and fries, the Golden Arches get numero uno for fries, nobody else even came near. I love their fries, but they came in really low on their hamburger, only getting 7%.

And what was the #1 joint for hamburgers, well, sorry In-N-Out fans, from one I can see, your favorite place is only #4. "What!? How is that possible? How is that even conceivable?" you say. Easy. Hey, Wendy's even beat you out. They were #3.

And what is the #1 burger in America. Well there are two #1's. Burger King and Five Guys tied for #1.

Okay, Burger King makes a decent hamburger, but Five Guys makes a great hamburger. My boys, whenever we go out, that's where they want to eat. Whenever I have to make a road trip for my job to Orlando, the guys who go with me always want to swing by Five Guys for lunch. I love Five Guys and now they have those soda dispensers which offer a thousand different flavors, it's even better.

Five Guys fries are way better than Mc Donalds. The Five Guys burgers are as good as In-n-Out, but just cost twice as much.

I'm fine with In-n-Out being that low on the popularity scale, the lines are too long there now anyway. Hopefully more and more people will go eat at Wendy's so the line in In-N-Out will die down some.

PS Who needs 5000 flavors of Soda? As long as one is Dr. Pepper, it doesn't really matter what the other ones are.

In-N-Out was a good change of pace, "Hey, we're in SoCal/Vegas, so lets do something Animal-style!" place, but as an every day fast food joint, it blows--underwhelming burgers, horrendously slow, and styrofoam fries. You can get past that for a "cultural" or "local" experience, but not a national chain.

Hate In-n-Out fries. But their double double cannot be beat. I have never eaten a burger anywhere I would take consistently over a perfectly cooked double double with onions.

My ranking of national or well known Utah burgers:

1. In-n-out
2. 5 Guys
3. Wendy's
4. JCW's
5. Carl's Jr
6. Burger King
7. Coney's <-- this used to be top 3, but their quality has completely fallen
8. McDonalds
9. Poop
10. Smash Burger

I have only eaten fires at In-N-Out "animal style" for a long time now. Easily the best fries in the business when ordered that way. As far as plain fries go, they're not spectacular.

Just curious here but all those other places r pretty much in every state but in and out, I would think it would be lower..

Any poll that has Burger King tied for the best burger has zero credibility.

Agree

Fatburger.

The two I think are most out of place are Burger King and Carl's Jr./Hardees.

Carl's Jr. 6 Dollar Burger, especially with the fresh made buns, are REALLY good. Right up there with, and maybe even better than, 5 Guys and In/Out.
