I Tried Every Chain Restaurant Burger In America

we're in a weird time in fast food culture fast food prices are constantly rising up so much so that it's actually pricing out the general consumer but there's a solution chain restaurants are starting to come back giving consumers more bang for their Buck but is the food actually good that's why today I'm testing every major chain Burger in America to find out which Burger is truly the best but more specifically if any of these are worth your time and hard earn money and at the end of this we'll be crowning the absolute best with the highest ranking and our favorite starting with chilies but first I want to introduce Our Guest today Damon he's going to be tasting with us he's an OG you've seen him before this is the chilies one of the most known chilies of all time the chilies on 45th and Lamar in Austin Texas if you know you know what the I'm talking about these burgers are huge and the patties are like and A2 inch thick cheers Che bud I'm going to give you the good and the bad the good the meats really fatty juicy I like the toppings that are on it there's a little too much lettuce we'll look past that and the flavor is decent it kind of tastes like a hotel Burger the bad the bun is super duper dry it's not really toasted it's like sticking literally sticking to the Burger the lettuce is super soggy there's no sauce on it and it's pretty severely UND seasoned flavor good I agree with the UND season cuz he a little salt maybe a little acid but definitely mushy on the bottom for sure but I love being a juicy burger I'd say be minus I'd be really happy if I ordered this I would give this a C+ almost a b we can average that out to a c moving on we're at a place that used to have the name International House of burgers ihob and then they changed it back to IHOP because that sounds so stupid I don't know why they did that but they do have a breakfast Burger this does seem to be the iconic Choice it's got a fried egg here we go cheers The Toasted Bun toasted well on the outside not on the inside though still good I love eggs on my burgers that might just be the bacon but I actually think it's seasoned outside of just the bacon too texture is good burger is a little tough but nothing crazy good cook on it though C minus that area the bacon is really well CE say it might just be the bacon honestly I'm conflicted on this one because it doesn't taste bad Burger's freshly cooked the Bun's nice it's toasted nicely I love the flavor of the bacon oh and the burger is not dry either it's like relatively juicy but there's zero salt on that Patty zero and there's zero salt on the egg if it weren't for this bacon this burger would be probably a d but I don't hate it I don't love it I'm going to give it a c that's a c tier for IHOP and I see why they switch back to the name the search for our a tier continues but I know where we can find it no not there down here that's right it's been on my feet keeping my little toes warm this whole time

search we're at the second highest grossing restaurant on the entire list it is the one the only Applebees I intentionally avoided Applebees for my entire life even as a child I saw that and I was like I don't know if I need to go there this is the whiskey Burger it is the highest calorie burger at 1,600 calories it's a big boy so it's got fried onions Whiskey sauce raw onions I like that they did the raw and the cooked I think that's a cool combo I'm actually excited about this cheers really greasy almost unbearably there's a lot of fixings on here you can't really taste much of the burger but the overall flavor is nice I can taste the whiskey in the sauce which is kind of nice I'm not sure if it's artificial or not though there's a lot of sweetness going on I like the fried onions they're crunchy they're seasoned nicely I love the combination of the raw onion with that to provide a little extra ump the Patty is Juicy you know this was a really well-crafted Burger I think that's what stands out to me the most there's enough of everything thick cheese lots of onions cook on the burger was good little under seasoned but it was seasoned this is I think my favorite one so far so be I'm going to give this a bee Apple bees moving on now into the Outback let's see if a fan favorite appetizer mixed with a burger could bring us our first a tier this is the blumen Burger is their most popular Burger the Patty itself is questionable it clearly went straight from the freezer and onto the grill cheers it's definitely got some texture from the crispy Bloom and onions which are Delicious By the way and it's got that lovely blo and onion sauce on there Patty pretty underwhelming a little dry honestly I'm kind of happy with this one it's not bad but if you took the onions off of this this burger would be so mid all of the experience is relying fully on the blooming onion on which by the way the fried onion tastes great seasoned nicely it's still crispy that's all I taste I do not taste the beef I do not taste the cheese you could put any meat in between these buns and it would taste pretty much the same I feel like the beef itself is super chewy for some reason how did that happen but it tasted good the sauce was okay so as a burger in a burger competition I'm going to give this a d i like d what down nund at the Outback with our first D tier Burger moving on to a potential top Contender though Red Robin we have high expectations of this place because they specify goret Burgers so this better be Gourmet this is the gourmet burger this is the most OG of their OG Burgers it looks actually quite beautiful here we go I don't know about you but I'm happy with this all the veggies are nice and fresh there's a lot of them without the burger being super messy honestly the burger flavor comes through even past all of it buns like kind of hard on the outside but not from being stale little texture to it a little toastiness this is one of the better Burgers we've had I think this is probably the best burger we've had so far the bun has crispness on the outside Burger seasoned nicely it's juicy cooked just to how I like it I like that it has onions and pickles they don't skimp on that there's like a relish type sauce on there there's Mayo I love they don't do that little dot of mayo this is like spread with mayo it's really nice it's also the simplest Burger I'm going to give this an a I agree A+ and our first a tier of the video that's a great start this early on but we aren't looking for something good we're looking for something great the question is where is our s tier we're at Buffalo Wild Wings we've got burgers that I think might be the best looking Burgers I have seen all day are they going to beat Red Robin that is the question because I think this could be a contender for S tier the Burger's juicy as it's dripping the vegetables are nice and green this is called the triple it does not have triple Patty but honestly I'm not upset it looks beautiful let's try it wow I would wreck shop with this bad boy that's a good burger the beef is perfectly seared it's not overcooked it's got a great myard it's juicy it's fatty there's the right amount of cheese there's a right amount of salt this the first Burger where I'm like this is perfectly seasoned borderline the vegetables are fresh the pickles aren't too acidic there's enough sauce on it honestly I'm having a hard time picking out something I didn't like about it you say what it is and I'll cover my ears if Red Robin was an a this is an S tier Buffalo Wild Wings what is going on so a welcome surprise with that s tier but I still think we have an even higher s tier coming moving on before we move on to our next spot I have something important Black Friday and saber Monday you can get both of my cookbooks don't forget if you don't have it or you want to give a gift you guys have supported it so much I appreciate you the Link's in the description if you don't have one get one get one for a friend the holidays are coming up the Link's in the description now on to the next and all of the sudden got very windy because we are now at Denny's Avocado Burger cheers not the one this is like a a ballpark burger go to a baseball game they're not there to make good food they're just there to slap something together it's dry it's not seasoned it's on a Cisco bun it's not horrible it's just really not good yeah I don't really like avocado that much but I was trying to be a little unbiased but it really made it really mushy in there bun was stale Burger was dry and then just overall unseasoned it's a c at best that's a d for me Denny's joins Outback with a big fat D moving on we've got an important check-in I will say I'm remarkably surprised the caloric count for the burger we've eaten today have been well over 1,000 calories just for the burger not including the fries in the last video we did like this where we just did fast food places the burgers were maybe like 400 to 600 calories some went up to 1,000 but very very few I'm not really sure why I guess like they use a lot leaner beef and they're steaming it whereas this they're using fatty beef they're doing everything they can to try and make this burger good which means that the burger should be getting rated higher but they're not the Adventure Continues Now we move on to a real player here one of my favorite chain restaurants out there Texas Road house it is the second highest grossing casual dining restaurant in America and the only other one above it is Olive Garden and they don't have a burger so that basically makes this the top one of this video looking juicy it's pretty good I don't know if it's the best one we've had there's a lot of fixings on here which you know I like the burger was cooked well there's a lot of texture from the Tomato the onions the bun mid but it's okay this is a thicker Patty it appears to be seared it has sort of a barbecue sauce on it mushrooms onions sauteed onion and raw this is honestly probably one of the worst menu items I've ever eaten here I mean the Burger's okay it's cooked okay it's juicy it's not dry I appreciate that seasoning is mid it could use a little bit more salt a little more flavor it's a little overwhelming with the barbecue sauce flavor I'm not tasting Burger I'm just tasting like barbecue sauce I think the Chili's Burger was better than this but I don't know you want to say our rating at the same time I think I do see Texas Roadhouse I love you and everything that you have to offer except your burger moving on all right we're at the Las Vegas casino of restaurants Cheesecake Factory this is one of the most popular Burgers the macaroni and cheeseburger they have it on the clam Burger menu I didn't even realize this is a fried macaroni and cheese Puck over a burger it's got heft to it wow I'm actually surprised by how bad that is honestly I think it's a fried mac and cheese that was lowered into oil it's been used 6 million times without being filtered can you taste that is that cheese sauce no salt on anything not even in the cheese sauce which is funny cuz you know it's pre-made the burger is cooked medium Rish which is nice but there's no salt on it so who cares you can't taste it the mac and cheese bite has also no salt it's fried in bitter oil I got to say I'm actually surprised I think The Shining Star in this is a cook on the burger itself I thought it was nice and juicy it had texture from the macaroni but I didn't want it on there that's for sure properly cooking something to the point of not overcooking it it's never enough to save something under seasoned you know Cheesecake Factory is funny because it's like they have a menu That's gigantic with almost every food that exists and yet they're mediocre in every category honestly I'm going to give this an app I would have to agree the most expensive burger of the video with the worst grade great now ironically the next one is the cheapest Burger so how's that going to Fair Waffle House has delivered over over and over and over for me I'm an avid fan I will say this burger has been concerned for them but they've never been known for making beautiful food they've been known for making delicious food all right cheers it's good for how straightforward it is I mean it's just cheese meat and bacon that's it I think the burger seasoned the Bacon's crispy but also it's got those like fatty unrendered parts for what they put on here it's pretty good I'm actually really surprised it tastes like what it looks but in the best way possible like the Bacon's half crispy half fled so it's fatty still but so crunchy the meat is actually seasoned properly I wish there was a bit more myard but that's fine it's not the end of the world for this burger it was toasted in the Bacon fat on The Griddle so you're tasting bacon all throughout it this is like a I've been out drinking burger and it's going to be one of the most glorious things you've ever eaten if you are not under the influence you'll eat it and you go this is a mighty decent burger and I think it's worthy of a solid bee Waffle House delivers especially for the price real solid but we're still chasing another s tier moving on BJs I've never found myself there before primarily cuz of the name this burger The Smokehouse Burger they have said specifically that it has a flavor explosion that will leave you reeling if I'm not reeling after this I'm already pissed honestly all it tastes really is onion rings with barbecue sauce on it though I was going to say the same thing it's so weird it tastes like it's supposed to taste but so much of it is under seasoned the burger is not that juicy the bun is okay most of their problems would be fixed by salt I agree the bacon is carrying the salt on it barbecue sauce tastes good it was very black peppery I like little little poppy in the spice it's a see it's mid there's not that much going on Flavor explosion big overstatement so they might have a B in the name but they're getting a c moving on onto a place have actually never been inside the Cracker Barrel and to say the least I was shocked at what I saw I thought I was walking into a restaurant and I instead walked into some sort of gift shop that feels like I was transported into another dimension I I don't have high hopes for the food but hopefully it's good everything about this burger is bad from the Flavor to the Salt levels the bun is soggy in the worst way possible this has not been sitting for a long time we just ordered it and it's disgusting this genuinely tastes like food that was made in an old folks home and then delivered here PE poo poo honestly I really couldn't agree more there's a taste in my mouth that's just lingering and overpowering that doesn't taste like a single ingredient that's actually on the burger it doesn't taste like meat it doesn't tast bread yeah maybe that's what it is it tastes like 6 months worth of a Gunk and goop this is by far the worst burger at a low low low F low F yeah cracker BR I going to be honest with you just keep the gift shop f with only two spots remaining can we get just one more s tier Contender I want to see you Showdown I believe it will happen or will Buffalo Wild Wings Fly Away with a dominant Victory really you guys going to let this happen we are at Red Lobster currently Under Siege right now because of their endless shrimp menu thingy I've been eating a lot of burgers listen this is their only Burger on the menu we like the heavy Sesame bun it smells bacony there's no sauce so if this burger is not seasoned perfectly I'm going to give this an automatic SE cheers Bud dry not seasoned enough there's plenty of bacon and yeah I like the bun The Bun is the standout here but it does not carry the sandwich to the end Burger C season it's okay the only flavor I'm getting is bacon bacon is good they didn't make the bacon so if you want to have a bacon sandwich you'll have the same experience pretty much that's a c tier o Red Lobster swinging a Miss but it's now down to our final spot LongHorn Steakhouse to see if they can join the Buffalo Wild Wings s tier ranking and potentially be our reigning King wow that is remarkably good everything is seasoned perfectly salt levels on the Patty are there the myard is there it's juicy it's fatty but it's not too fatty it's cooked to a nice medium there wasn't a lot of sauce on there that's all it needed it was a strong sauce like it was very present this is the first one where the meat was finally truly the Highlight that thing was thick and juicy when I bit into it really really good cook on it too just completely different than the Buffalo Wild Wings one but equally as delicious this is marginally better in my opinion if I had to pick between the two I'd pick this one I almost want to rate the Buffalo Wild Wings I can't believe this this is an S tier I honestly think so it's been an absolute roller coaster we've had mostly bad rating after bad rating after bad rating and then we ended with two s tiers this one being by far the most round breaking s tier shout out to LongHorn Steakhouse good God this is a banger between the two this is a clear winner LongHorn Steakhouse had the very best chain Burger I cannot believe I'm saying it LongHorn Steakhouse good work subscribe love you bye n
