Five Guys Wins America's Best Burger Title
Monday, August 16, 2010 at 7:36PM -I have to say I prefer In-N-Out and Steak & Shake, but Five Guys will do.
Americans have voted on their favorite fast food burger -- and five people have won the honor: Five Guys, to be exact.
In the annual Zagat "Fast Food" online survey more than 6,500 people nationwide agreed that the best burger can be found at "Five Guys Burger and Fries."
The restaurant has 500 chains in the U.S.
Next in line after Five Guys Burgers and Fries are:
West Coast burger chain In-N-Out burger
Wendy's
Burger King
McDonalds
And you can't have a burger without the fries. Once again, McDonalds took the top spot for serving up the best French fries.
Voters cast online ballots in these areas:
Large Chains (up to 5,000 U.S. outlets)
Mega-Chains (more than 5,000)
Full-Service Chains (with table service)
Quick-Refreshment Chains (a focus on beverages, frozen treats, etc.).
Wendy’s is this year’s Top Food champion, dominating the Mega-Chain category.
Oddly enough, Panera Bread serves up the best salad, according to voters, which was also voted the the most popular large chain fast food restaurant.
The best burger at a full-service restaurant comes from Red Robin. Olive Garden was voted to have the best value for a full service restaurant.
It's no surprise that the best coffee for a quick-service places was voted to be Starbucks. Best coffee for a full-service restaurant comes from IHOP Restaurant.
