For quality, affordability and convenience, Five Guys is still my go-to.
Prefer Wendy's over Mickey D's, just had BK a few weeks ago for the first time in ages -- the Bacon King I thought was pretty good.
I like Culver's a lot, eat there every 2-3 months, but I think the OP gets close to overrating it just because it's underrated.
Used to have Whataburger nearby and ate there often, but now I have to travel too far to get to it. Ate In-and-Out once, on a business trip to Phoenix a decade ago, and remember it being good.
Shake Shack is good, but pricey and pretentious.
In a similar vein, don't think I've seen it mentioned yet: Burger 21. Eaten there a couple of times, enjoyed it. Anyone else?
