I ranked 5 Burger King cheeseburgers from worst to best. The winner was a great value.

• I thought the Triple Whopper was less flavorful than some of the smaller, cheaper burgers.
• The Whopper impressed me with its flame-grilled patty and classic cheeseburger toppings.

Next up was the chain’s double cheeseburger, a step up from the basic cheeseburger.

In February, Burger King upgraded the signature burger with a new bun and packaging to prevent it from getting squashed in transit. If you add cheese, it now costs $9.18, excluding tax and fees.

Burger King’s prices can vary by location and franchise, but CNN reported that Burger King recommended that franchisees not raise prices for the new elevated Whopper.

A Whopper comes with a quarter-pound beef patty, pickles, onions, lettuce, tomato, ketchup, and mayonnaise. I always add cheese for an extra dollar.

Thick layers of ketchup and mayo spilled over the sides of the burger, but the sizable sesame-seed bun held everything together.

I’m not surprised the chain’s signature burger is so famous — it was my favorite, by far.

The cheese coated the flame-grilled burger patty, and the lettuce, tomatoes, and onions all tasted fresh and added a delicious crunch.

Unlike the original Whopper, which could easily turn soggy from its thinner mayonnaise and heavy condiments, this version was less saucy and stayed intact better. The new, creamier mayonnaise also had more flavor.

This burger is my top pick among the most famous fast-food signature burgers.

Even though this burger is a classic and perhaps not the most creative burger I’ve tried, I thought it was the most satisfying and a great value for the price.
