For one, it’s made with fresh beef, which makes all the difference in the flavor.
For another, it has a great ratio of bun, beef, cheese, and condiments.
And let’s face it, we are creatures of habit that embrace familiarity.

Ah, the Baconator!
The sauces are simple: a combo of ketchup and mayo, which perfectly ties the whole thing together.

Another thing that works in its favor?
It feels like an adult burger as opposed to something that came from the junior menu.
This burger is truly a hometown hero, repping its origin in every delectable bite.

They’re best known for highly customizable and highly addictive burgers that have both homemade quality and restaurant-level craveability.
And let’s not forget those famous peanut oil fries, too.
While the best version depends on everyone’s personal taste, we are highly partial to grilled onions.

It was launched more than 100 years ago, which makes it the oldest fast-food burger around.
They come with five pre-punctured holes and are placed on the grill over a pile of diced onions.
This method steams the meat rather than grilling it and infuses the patties with incredible flavor.

The cheese and other condiments are added later.
Just enjoy that steamed little slider!
The bun is soft and welcoming to the crispiness of the meat.
Shake Shack
It all just works.
