5 Best Burger Chains in the US

3. Whataburger

Number of Mentions: 5

Whataburger has a smaller menu compared to other burger chains, but what they lack in menu size they make up for in the size and taste of their burgers. It was primarily a regional chain in Texas, however, Whataburger has now expanded across 14 states with 946 locations in the US as of July 04, 2023 while still being a family-owned burger chain. 

Even with the simple combination of lettuce, mustard, onions, tomatoes and pickles, Whattaburger makes the juiciest, most flavorful hamburgers. Even though their specialty is hamburgers, their menu extends to salads and onion rings with their classic Patty Melt and Chicken Sandwiches as well as a special breakfast menu.
