    Who has the best double cheeseburger between McDonalds, Burger King, and Wendys? Also, who has the best double cheeseburger/chicken sandwich hybrid? The hybrid is when you put the chicken sandwich in between the two beef patties.

    I agree with the Vortex, but the dude asking the question seems to be wanting to choose for a cheaper price. And for that price, personally I'd rather go to Waffle House and order a double burger and there's also Steak n Shake or Hardees...

    The Vortex is all hype. Yeah, I said it, and I mean it. They got some best burger ever award like a decade ago and they've been surfing on that since then.

    EARL > Vortex

    I'll disagree on that. Vortex > Flatiron > The Earl. But the Vortex reworked their menu a few months ago and some of the burgers arent as good as they've been in the past. My favorite burger up there, the Tex Melt, just sucks with onion rings instead of fried jalapenos.

    I've heard great things about Holeman and Finch's after hours burgers but cant personally comment on them. I'm sure Nicad and Slowwrx will sing their praises.

    As far as cheap burgers go, Burger King is way better than McDonalds. Krystal burgers are better than McDs IMO, but then again I dont eat any of the 3 unless I'm drunk.

    negative ghost rider. but this all depends on what style of burger you want.

    most high end burger places grind their own cuts. this is what largely differentiates the majority of them. go into a place, and ask the waitress/manager what they grind into their burgers. probably a mixture of chuck, hangar steak, flank steak, brisket, short rib, or some sort of mixture

    that being said, if you want a classic american burger (that isn't a 2lb ground steak like fuddruckers), then go to holeman finch pub house. if you want a little less expensive, hit up 5 guys and split the fries with someone cajun style.

    if you want an interesting burger that isn't necessarily beef, BUT has great flavor combinations, try flip burger. the chorizo burger is pretty goddamn amazing, although it needs a little more kick to it

    I take my burgers seriously. and I agree with the derf that vortex is overrated garbage. I haven't tried fatburger yet, but I probably will within the next week

    I agree with nicad. Flip burgers are damn good, and worth the drive.

    Oh I love flip and forgot about them. I really dont think of them as a traditional burger joint though. It is damn good!

    There is only one burger I like t Vortex. That would be the coronary bypass burger.

    Fatburger is ok and would rather go there than 5 guys. i like the fact they will put a fried egg on my burger:)

    Have you noticed the egg theme?

    Blasphemy!!!! j/k... I only like Mcd's for breakfast.. I think all their burgers are junk. I tried one of their Angus burgers a while back and I couldn't even finish it. The bun was old, burger was overdone.. just nasty, low quality...

    I agree with 2pt5rs. When it comes to ultra cheap fast food burgers, I will take McD over BK any day. BK food has a nasty aftertaste and my burps make me sick for the rest of the day.

    I had one of those once, and thought it was AWFUL. Grilled cheeses for a bun really bring the promise of greatness, but even with bacon and beef and eggs, that whole thing tasted like I wadded up a handful of Kraft Singles and took a bite. Gag.

    I'll take this opportunity to throw in another contender: Steak 'N' Shake. I love the crispy edges on those steakburgers.

    You are thinking of the Double Coronary bypass or whatever the big daddy bueger they have that was on the food network. THe one I am talking about is basically cheese, bacon, egg on top of a burger.

    I also agree with steak and shake. I love that place as well.

    I think the best cheap burger is Checkers.

    Five Guys tastes like crap, been a few times to give them the benefit of the doubt...not impressed.

    The Applebee's Angus burger is awesome IMO.


    edit: Oooh! Steak and Shake! Yum!

    Someone already said I would say Holeman and Finch and they were right its without question the best burger in Atlanta. I've become less and less impressed with Flip the last few times. Ormsbys has a really good burger.

    Personally, I prefer B&D Burgers. Has anyone attempted the 3 lb. burger challenge? When it comes to dollar burgers I prefer Wendy's because the meat doesn't look as evil as the meat from McDonald's and Burger King. Waffle House burgers are for people who drink and drive therefore I score them below McDonald's. Sorry
