http://shopping.yahoo.com/articles/yshoppingarticles/428/best-burgers/ Discuss with your stomachs! I have not tried In-N-Out Burgers yet so maybe someday if I ever go West Coast... Five Burgers is pretty yummy. I have to agree that McDonalds burger is yucky yucky! I haven't had a burger from there in years.
I have not tried Five Guys yet, so IDK about it. I do know that In-N-Out is just like any other fast food burger, nothing special. Whataburger gets my vote simply due to them having fancy ketchup.
Actually, if you're in Texas (more specifically in or around the Dallas-area), you'll get your chance soon. In-N-Out Burger Heads To Dallas, Texas http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/05/26/in-n-out-to-texas-burger_n_591188.html
When I moved to Austin it was the first time I'd see a Culver's place and it was pretty good. Maybe a bit buttery and terrible for you, but good none the less.
Smashburger has quickly become my favorite burger spot. Easily beats Five Guys in just about every category. The patties taste perfect and juicy, the veggies are fresh and crispy, and the SmashFries are rather nice -- they don't need ketchup.
Five Guys gives In-N-Out a run for its money. That being said, there's something about Beck's Prime in Houston (especially the location on Westheimer & Chimney Rock near the Galleria with its outdoor seating area) and increasingly now Smashburger that gets them my vote. Oh, and Culver's beats Whataburger any day.
I am convinced In-N-Out puts some sort of nicotine (or other addictive contraband) in their meat to create the addiction. The first time you have one you ask yourself what all the fuss is about, but then for some reason you find yourself craving one in a couple days out of the blue. I have tried 5 Guys and the similarity to In-N- Out is uncanny...only minus the addictive substance. As a result I have never desired a return trip. Best burger I have had in Houston (or anywhere for that matter) is from Beck's Prime: "Bill's Burger" you gotta down the monster before the juices from the beef, grilled onions and jalapenos rips through the bun. you may find yourself watching over your shoulder to avoid the judgemental glances from those around you as you funnel the left over juices out of the wax paper its served in. it's a kick in the wallet at $9, but it ain't a high price for heaven.
totally forgot about Beck's Prime since I am not in Houston, they are absolutely the best fast food burger, maybe overall burger. No questions
Interesting. I haven't had Beck's Prime since I was little... will have to try it again since I live pretty close to one. The West University Smashburger isn't too far, either.
beck's prime is fantastic but expensive as burgers go. i have a serious affinity for five guys... i think their burgers are terrific, especially since their jalapenos are of the fresh variety, not that pickled crap. smashburger is also damn good and their smashfries may be some of the best around, although i recall not being a fan of the bun i had... a little sweet for my tastes. but if memory serves me correct i think you can choose your bun, no? either way those would be my top 3 burger chains in houston.
I've personally never been, but everyone I talk to swears that Five Guys is the best burger they've ever had.
