The calorie counts on fast food burgers can vary wildly, even when they're on the same menu. This list collects 10 of the highest-calorie burgers we could find. It is by no means exhaustive, but it does include 10 different fast food chains. Each chain was only given one spot so none could crowd the field too much. Not that that's a feat anyone should want to accomplish. Some of the burgers on this list might not be a surprise, especially the burger with multiple meat patties, but there may be a few surprising omissions You expected this to be the Big Mac, didn't you?
Turns out the highest-calorie burger at McDonald's is the Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese, and its tenth on this list with calories per burger. The Big Mac only has calories per burger, which isn't quite enough to make it on this list. Of the calories in the Double Quarter Pounder, come from fat.
That's not too surprising, though, given that the burger has 40g of fat, 19g of saturated fat, and 3g of trans fat. Shake Shack's Double SmokeShack is ninth on the list with calories per burger. While the Double SmokeShack has calories, the Double ShackBurger could also make this list with calories per burger.
Adding bacon and chopped cherry pepper to the burger, it turns out, only adds about 80 calories. The Five Guys Bacon Cheeseburger comes in at calories, placing it eighth on this list. Interestingly, Five Guys provides a useful chart for the nutritional values of all its food that include bunless burgers.
The real problem here is the sole use of mayo as a sauce. That's not to do any disservice to the condiment in general, but — unlike ketchup or mustard — it doesn't really work by itself on a burger.
At least we can be comforted in knowing they use "real" mayonnaise on their burgers — but there's nothing wrong with expecting more from Jack. As you can probably guess from their name, Steak 'n Shake's twist on what we peasants might call a "hamburger" is to refer to it instead as a "steakburger.
Not so at Steak 'n Shake, where the burgers are made from ground meat that comes from beef brisket and chuck. This is something of a point of pride for the chain, who have levied legal complaints against rivals for using the term "steakburger" in the past.
So is it worth all that fuss? The answer: kinda. Their Original Steakburger's toppings are decent enough sliced cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion and pickle and we'll never say no to a decent toasted bun. The patty itself tends to be juicy and well-sized and does benefit a little from being made of a superior cut — but nowhere near enough to justify calling it a steakburger and then taking someone to court for trying to do the same.
At Wendy's, the closest thing you've got to a classically-made hamburger is the Dave's Single. As well as their patty which we'll come to you've got cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickle, mayo and onion. Good stuff and bad stuff to make note of with the Dave's Single — on the plus side, there's the toasted bun, which is a mainstay feature of any decent burger and decidedly lacking in some of the efforts featured earlier on this list.
And if we're going to be really, really nitpicky, we wouldn't have said no to the inclusion of some mustard. It breaks the heart just a little to see ketchup and mayo together without it.
Otherwise, the beef is decent — with the restaurant making the fact it's never frozen a considerable selling point in their marketing — and makes up a patty that's actually far juicier and more enjoyable than most of Wendy's rivals.
Good stuff. While the lesser hamburger as is the case with most offers too little, the Papa Burger gives diners just enough. The ratio between the two patties and the toppings is almost , while their butter-toasted bun keeps everything together nicely.
That Papa Sauce is one of the better burger sauces out there, too, giving the whole thing a nice touch of the tang which ketchup, mayo and mustard usually fails to manage. To start, every burger is grilled to order, which is more than you can say for some of America's bigger chains. The toppings are fully customizable, which is always a plus — even if the choice is a little limited. Still, to be actively encouraged to tailor-make your burger, including or excluding any lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, onions and cheese as you so wish, is something that only usually happens at some of the better burger chains out there.
The patties themselves are great, too. They're never frozen, come from premium cut beef and, best of all, are nice, thick and juicy. The only downside to a Fuddruckers burger is that they're really proud of their cheesy sauce, and often encourage you to add that to your burger instead of melted cheese.
That, unfortunately, is a cardinal sin, and relegates the chain to the lower end of our top five. You can tell we're starting to taste the good stuff, now. The Culver's Original ButterBurger uses seasoned, never-frozen beef seared to order served on a buttered, toasted bun.
Toppings are entirely customizable, but can include red onion, pickles, lettuce, ketchup, mustard and proper Wisconsin cheddar — which is a damn sight better than the plastic neon cheese goop that too many burger chains offer. It's like they're meeting all the criteria for a decent fast food burger. Fresh, customizable, made to order — and it shows in the finished product.
The beef is often very flavorful indeed, if a tad dry and a little thinner than the ones you'll see in our top three burgers , while the toasted and buttered bun is a welcome touch that keeps everything warm and moist.
Final verdict? This is the best burger you're going to get that's still not quite just right. Which leads us to Ask any Texan where they get their burgers and they'll all tell you the exact same thing: Whataburger — and for good reason, too. Whataburger's big gimmick is customization, with diners able to choose from any combination of tomato, lettuce, onions, pickles, ketchup, mayo, jalapenos, cheese, bacon, grilled peppers and even avocado. As far as choice goes, this is as good as it gets.
The patties themselves are fresh, grilled and nicely seasoned, while the bun is good and toasted. Oh, and they're a decent size, too, with the Whataburger patty usually turning out far wider as well as better than many of its rivals.
Unfortunately, the downside of such a wide patty and bun is that it's all the flatter for it. If you want the best of both worlds, you're going to have to add another patty to your burger.
Still, though — we can't have it all. The Five Guys hamburger is made up of two patties in a toasted bun with the customer's choice of totally free toppings. These include lettuce, pickles, tomatoes, grilled onions, grilled mushrooms, fresh onions, jalapenos, green peppers, ketchup, mayo, mustard, relish, BBQ sauce, hot sauce and A. The patties are well-grilled, succulent, and nice and wide — if a little thin for our liking.
But that's why you get two of them included in each hamburger, isn't it? What else is there to say? The sesame buns are nice and soft, the servings of toppings aren't so heavy they get in the way unless you want them to and, if you choose the right combo, each burger can be positively bursting with flavor.
Few things in our fleeting, mortal lives can match up to the taste of a nice, fresh Five Guys hamburger. Friendship, maybe. Or tax rebates.
They're good, is what we're saying. And most people will agree that only one other major restaurant in America is capable of outdoing it. And here we have it The toppings are simple lettuce, onions and tomatoes but compounded with a special sauce that more than makes up for it.
Everything is entirely fresh — peek inside the kitchen of your local In-N-Out and you won't find a microwave, heat lamp or freezer in sight.
Comparable to healthier options in calories and fiber, this burger offers slightly more protein, but is higher in sodium. Although technically White Castle offers better numbers for calories and sodium, their burgers are undersized so we doubled their values assuming that no one stops at one.
