Shake Shack Tops 7-Chain Double Cheeseburger Ranking, Beating Five Guys
1 articles · Updated · Tasting Table · May 31
Shake Shack’s Double ShackBurger ranked No. 1 in a Tasting Table review of seven national-chain double cheeseburgers, with Five Guys finishing second and Sonic third.
The review prioritized beef-and-cheese balance, seasoning, juiciness and texture, concluding Shake Shack best delivered a true double cheeseburger with two smash patties and doubled cheese.
Five Guys won praise for fresh, beefy patties and well-judged toppings, while Sonic’s larger burger lost points because cheese was overshadowed by mayo and other add-ons.
McDonald’s placed 7th and Wendy’s 6th after criticism that their burgers were dry or too light on cheese; Burger King ranked 5th and Checkers/Rally’s 4th.
The analyst said size was not a key factor and noted all burgers were refrigerated, reheated and judged mainly on whether beef and cheese stayed at the forefront.
With a flawed microwave test, which fast-food chain truly has the best double cheeseburger?
As McDonald's classic burger is ranked worst, is its new $14 'Big Arch' the real answer?
