I ranked 13 fast-food double cheeseburgers. The best was a regional favorite.

• We ranked double cheeseburgers from 13 fast-food chains to see which one reigns supreme.
• 7th Street Burger, the smallest chain, blew me away with its saucy smash burger.
• I thought In-N-Out’s famous Double-Double was great value and delicious.

I ordered it with a large bun, American cheese, grilled peppers and onions, pickles, and ketchup.

I thought the burgers were juicy, and the pickles had a tart crunch.

Since opening in 2021, the chain has quickly built a reputation for its no-frills approach to smash burgers, featuring crispy patties, gooey cheese, and the chain’s signature sauce.

I ordered a double cheeseburger, which comes with two beef patties, American cheese, onions, pickles, and house sauce on a Martin’s potato bun. It cost $11.59, excluding tax and fees.

There wasn’t much customization to do for this burger — you can’t order it with lettuce or tomato.

However, this burger was perfect exactly as the chain designed it. The burger patties were delightfully crispy on the outside yet remained juicy.

Melted slices of cheese oozed between the two thin, expertly griddled, and charred beef patties, all smothered in the chain’s signature sauce, a creamy, tangy take on classic burger sauce.

The burger was served on a pillowy-soft potato roll, which kept things simple.

There were no lettuce or tomato slices to lighten the rich, savory burger, but I didn’t miss them.

With pickles and onions rounding out the flavor, it was nostalgic, perfectly balanced, and probably the best smash burger I’ve ever had.

In my opinion, the best double cheeseburger I tried was the famous Double-Double burger from In-N-Out.

It cost me $5.90, which I thought was an excellent deal for the large burger sitting in front of me.

One of the first things I noticed was how thick the burger patties were. They were much thicker than other burgers I tried at a similar price point.

Most Double-Double burgers come with lettuce, tomato, onions, and spread.

To keep my burger similar to the other burgers I tried, I ordered it with onions, pickles, and spread, which I thought tasted similar to Thousand Island dressing.

The first thing I noticed about the In-N-Out burger was how juicy the burger patties were, followed by the incredible layers of cheese.

The cheese slices were perfectly melted and coated each part of the burger, something I couldn’t say about any other burger I tried.

The bun was perfectly soft and held everything together perfectly, while the special spread had my mouth watering for another bite.

Of all the burgers I tried, I thought the In-N-Out double cheeseburger packed the most flavor for the best price.

When it came to a double cheeseburger, the West Coast chain really nailed it. The burger was beyond flavorful, the perfect size, and, in my opinion, very good value for money.

The next time I’m in a state with an In-N-Out, I know where I’ll be filling my burger craving.
