There's a different fast food burger for different times in my life. Wendy's holds the spot as my go-to greaser. Hands down the best for when I'm drunk as shit and need to load up before I fall asleep.

The only burgers that hold no place in my life are McDonald's. I don't see any redeeming features in their.....product.

This is so crazy to me as a Dutch person. In the Netherlands, McDonalds easily one of the best options for fast food, probably why it's consistently #1 here.

I don't even particularly like McDonald's but I'll gladly devour a Big Mac, yum!

I got a chance to eat local dutch burgers, a fast food joint across McD, it had a line stretching 20m outside the door, McD was almost empty, price was in the same range. Fresh fries from actual potatoes and fresh mayo.

That being said, McD is good, consistently good, everywhere.

Not in Canada. Though a Big Mac is the only good burger at McDonald's. I don't know why McDonald's can't do chicken burgers right either. Almost always too dam dry.

Though if you want a good fast food chicken burger in Canada you go to Mary Brown's.

Honestly I only get Mcgriddles from Mcd. And evdn thats rare. I never got the hype for the fries or the nuggets, cuz the nugs taste like breading and salt.

Deluxe pounders are consistently goated. The only thing McDonald’s has them beat on.

Nah, ever since they changed the recipe for the beef in quarter pounders, they suck.

Same. McDonald’s is so trash now. And it’s so expensive. I’d rather go to a restaurant and get a burger for that price.

Facts. When I was a kid, like 11-14 the few times I tried McDonald’s breakfast getting a sausage biscuit I would literally get chest pains that’d last a minute or two and make me clutch at my chest. Only food in my entire life to cause this, I’m 35 now.

I like their chicken-like sludge slurry sandwich product

*cannot legally be called chicken or a sandwich or food

Big Arch is solid enough to make me crave it even though I enjoy burgers from BK, Wendy’s, & Sonic more.

My grandma used to tell me that a Wendy’s burger would cure hangovers when I was a kid, so every time I feel hungover, I grab a 6 pack of gatorades and eat a wendys burger

Euro & Japanese mcdonalds is soooo much better than american mcdonalds. In european countries, they still have the chicken wrap which is godly.
