"America has a new burger king.
Its name is Five Guys.
This is according to The Harris Poll’s annual EquiTrend Study, which ranks American food chains on quality, likelihood of purchase and familiarity.
In-N-Out Burger, which led the list over the past two years, fell to the second spot, according to the rankings.
Shake Shack, Wendy’s and Culver’s rounded out the top five burger spots, CBS reported.
Here’s a quick glance at the top 10.
1. Five Guys Burgers and Fries
2. In-N-Out Burger
3. Shake Shack
4. Wendy’s
5. Culver’s
6. Whataburger
7. McDonald’s
8. Sonic America’s Drive-In
9. Smashburger
10. Steak ’n Shake
Some popular joints ranked below average, though. Major franchises like Burger King, Carl’s Jr., DQ Grill & Chill and Jack in the Box all earned scores below the category’s average, according to the Harris Poll."

Interesting. I do really like everything in the top 5, although I generally get the Spicy Chicken Sandwich when I go to Wendy's. Shake Shack is fine, but does not live up to the hype. In-n-Out is very very good but not mindblowing. Smashburger at 9 is about right; they're unremarkable. McDonald's burgers taste pretty good but don't sit well in my stomach. I can't remember the last time I had a burger from Sonic or Steak n Shake. Never been to a Whataburger.
Surprised Hardee's/Carl's Junior scores so low. I haven't had them very often, but I recall their burgers being solid.
I might go:
1. Culver's
2. Five Guys
3. In-n-Out
4. Shake Shack
5. Wendy's
6. McDonald's
7. Smashburger
and then the rest are whatever I guess
