No, no, NO! In-N-Out and Wendy's are way above everyone else for fast food! There isn't even anyone else close! Haven't had lunch yet. A double double with animal fries all of a sudden sounds a great option.

Wendy's... Surely that is

Certainly isn't. But then I did see you gave a thumbs up to Chick-Fil-A earlier, so that would defiantly explain your post

McD's, sure...but a lot of these fast food joints are $10 burgers.

"Everyone else"? "No one close"? Have you actually ever tried the other options listed here? In-n-Out is a bit better than McDonalds but nowhere near something like Shake Shack. It's certainly not the second coming people pretend it is.

Also, your rating of Wendy's is surely a joke.

People are rating restaurants that aren't necessarily competing in the same market. In the drive up/walk up market I would agree with people rating Wendy's far above others, such as McD's, and BK.

BUT there are restaurants that I believe are grouped under "fast casual" which are much closer to burgers served in a sit-down restaurant - and I would rate Red Robin (which is a sit down restaurant) and the American Burger Company (order at the counter, table delivery) as serving good burgers (in a different league from McD's and BK), with both getting bonus points for selling beer.

Plus Red Robin do pretty good bottomless fries

Their poutine is tasty too, though unfortunately not bottomless.

Maybe, although I don't seem to be alone in rating either Wendy's or In-N-Out's burgers highly.

I've tried the majority listed here, as I eat far more fast food than I should, especially if I'm out on the road at work. Haven't tried Smash Burger. One has just opened nearby, so it'll be on my done list soon.

Dude, Double-Double with grilled onions, bun with extra toast, pickles on the side, fries extra crispy and a vanilla shake.... HHHNNNGGGGHHHHHH.

Smash Burger is very average. Their fried pickles are okay.
Wendy's is decent. Shake shack was good but over-rated. Same with Five Guys.

In-N-Out Burger is still the best I've tried by some margin.

Give me a Charley's Philly steak sandwich over a burger anytime

Had a 'Mighty Fine Burger' in Austin today - highly recommended!
