When you want afast-food burger, you probably have a go-to.
But, which chain makes the overall best fast-food burger of all time?
First of all, the similarities between the three burgers are probably no mistake.

The differences are very minor.
Here’s what we thought!
This burger debuted at the very first Wendy’s in 1969 and was known simply as The Single.

The look:Wendy’s 1/4-pound burger has the most top-notch-looking bun with a glossy top.
The signature square patty peeks out the side and the tomato and cheese are visible.
It has cheese on both sides of the patty.

The tomato had slid a little off the sandwich and the bun was slightly flatted during the delivery ride.
Wendy’s natural-cut fries have a bit of skin on them and were a very deep golden brown.
Dave’s single lacked the fast-food burger taste.

The fries had a very potatoey taste and had a nice salt level.
The Whopper is actually the oldest of these 1/4-pound burgers, joining Burger King’s menu in 1957.
The fries looked to be an even thickness and perfectly cooked to a light golden brown.

But the flame-broiled flavor did give the Whopper a 12-point lead.
The veggies and condiments again made the sandwich a bit wet.
The fries tasted like a thicker version of McDonald’s fries.
In the end, Burger King suffers from being very similar to McDonald’s but not quite as good.
Quarter Pounder With Cheese
McDonald’s keeps things simple with its 14-pound of beef.
McDonald’s quarter pounder burger is the youngest of the threeit was added to the national menu in 1973.
It really does come down to the nuances in differentiating the three contenders.
The king of fast food lets that beef shine.
They taste the same every time with the perfect mix of different sizes.
It tasted familiar but still good enough to keep up with today’s better-burger pace.
The Whopper tasted like it was trying to be the Quarter Pounder with cheese.
