Burger King here.
We have a chain with a handful of restaurants called Burgermeister here in Berlin. Those are pretty good, and relatively cheap, but another small chain called bobsek burgers made the best burgers I’ve had in Germany. It’s pretty hard to find burgers like in america though.
I don’t live in Singapore anymore but Ramly Burgers sold in night markets are the best burger I’ve ever had.
Germany - Either Hans im Glück or Five Guys. Both are rather expensive, though.
The best burgers don’t come from chains.
Again, I didn’t asked for that. Like… Yeah, that obscure small place in your city does good burgers… What’s the point if that’s at the other side of the world?
So find out what places near you make the best burgers.
Even most burger chains aren’t national.
I recommend reading the question. It specifically says “fast food chain”.
I read the question. OP seems to be asking where to get the best burger. Presumably, they are asking about chains because they want something available nationwide. But, as stated:
-
Most chains aren’t nationwide.
-
Most chains aren’t the best place to get burgers.
Now, I’m all for narrow-minded pedantry, and there’s a time for answering a poorly-phrased question literally; but I was actually trying to be helpful, here, by reading critically and giving OP a useful answer to the question: “When visiting the US, where should I go for the best cheeseburger?”
You didn’t even answer your own question, which also isn’t what OP asked or meant.
No idea how you’re being useful there.

Or of they do, they are hyper local.
If burger king is your best burger, that’s really sad. They make some of the worst here.
I tried them a few months ago to see what it was like since I hadn’t had it in many years, and I enjoy occasional fast food. All the food was almost flavorless. For something that rich and greasy to be tasteless is rather off-putting. It was a thoroughly unpleasant experience.
Here in Italy they do great burgers 🤷🏽 with pecorino and Italian beef
BK is not bad in Italy, but I would argue Five Guys is better. Although they don’t do “Italian” burgers like the one you described, still I feel their burgers are much more tasty than BKs.
That sounds divine
European BK is not USA BK
I’ve had European BK it’s still not good, passable maybe, but not good.
It’s no wonder that American’s are fat.
In n out, whataburger, and 5 guys are probably the top 3. And who takes first really depends on mood for me
In 'n Out and local favorite Dick’s Drive-in.
2nd for Dick’s, a deluxe and a chocolate shake.
They’ve just all gotten so ridiculously expensive for what they are, the only ones I get any more are the Wendy’s Double Stack or the BK Bacon Double.
If I need anything beyond this, it’s a sit down joint like Red Robin, a solid diner, or DIY.
I also get major cravings for a Beyond burger from time to time as well since they have a unique flavor profile I really love.
P Terry’s is a small chain in Austin area. Great food for cheap. They are very close to in an out style wise, but with a better cooked patty.
Yes! It’s the burger where the patty (angus beef) itself actually tastes good.
Any non US answers in this thread?
In my country there are no chains that make good burgers.
In and out because they never try to fucking reinvent the burgers for people and charge 500% more because of it.
In and out same burger always will be and always will be relatively inexpensive.
At least in my South American city (but it’s likely the same in the rest of the continent, regardless of country), this sort of junk food isn’t as strongly associated with fast food chains. It’s typically stuff that you buy from local establishments, that go from “nice and fancy” to “that corner bar stinking booze and rancid fat”. Or that you, you know, make at home.
Five Guys have a few restaurants in the UK, but I’d sooner buy my own patties and stuff as I don’t like the buns.
I noticed that they had a presence in London. We didn’t stop to compare them to the US version, though. I had weirder things to try.
Did you try the jellied eels?
I missed out on those! We were there for less than a week and never saw them on a menu.
They were on my list, though.
In Mexico it’s Carl’s Jr. McDonald’s and BK just suck in comparison, also Popeyes makes good chicken burgers, KFC can’t.
In Canada we have Harvey’s. It seems to be a love it or hate it kind of place, and I totally get that. After all, taste is subjective, and this is a fast food franchise we’re talking about.
But I find it telling that the people who hate it prefer to instead go to McDonald’s or Wendy’s. Like, can you tell me what a McDouble actually tastes like? Me neither.
The format is kind of like a Subway too. You place your order, then when your food is ready you go up to the counter and get to pick out all your toppings. The menu itself doesn’t have a whole lot of variety, but you really get to make your burger how you want it. It’s also the only chain I know where you can get a real pickle.
I’ve lived in Canada, the US, Mexico and briefly wandered around Europe.
Canadian burgers are just weird, I don’t know what y’all are doing up there, they’re all just weird like someone had only ever seen a picture of a cheeseburger and tried to recreate it without ever tasting one. It’s still a burger, and it’s fine, but it’s always just kind of odd. Strongly urge you to have a burger in any other country if you ever have a chance, the taste is vastly different. The US is obviously a top choice, but don’t sleep on getting a burger in Germany or France if you ever go.
What’s weird about them? If we’re talking Harvey’s it does have that sort of frozen-made-with-filler quality, and tastes kind of like a grocery store burger.
But to be honest, Canada’s a pretty big place and the food varies by geography. We’ve got all the super processed chain food, but you can also get grass-fed local grown burgers if you visit PEI that will send you to heaven.
Plus there’s a million little pubs that have burgers ranging from terrible to exquisite, and from bizarre to unique, and every level of mediocrity between.
