Lovefood ranked America’s fast-food burger chains, and number one might surprise you. California icon In-N-Out takes the crown thanks to fresh, never-frozen patties and secret-menu buzz. Midwestern classic Steak ’n Shake lands second, praised by burger scholar George Motz for its thin “steakburger” double. Shake Shack claims third with its premium Angus-beef ShackBurger, while Oklahoma-born Tucker’s Onion Burgers grabs fourth for crispy, caramelized onion-smashed patties. Rounding out the top five is Habit Burger & Grill, known for char-grilled beef and house-made sauces.
The rest of the top 10:
6 – Five Guys
7 – 7th Street Burger
8 – Fatburger
9 – Elevation Burger
10 – McDonald’s
The list of 42 chains also highlights regional gems like Burgerville and Milo’s alongside giants such as Five Guys and Burger King, noting each brand’s signature style, from charcoal broilers to smash-technique griddles.
