McDonald’s At The
Bottom of Consumer Reports Burger Ratings
In-N-Out Burger & Five Guys
Burgers and Fries Top Subscriber Survey in October Issue
YONKERS, NY — McDonald’s may
have served billions of burgers, but according to a recent survey of
28,000 Consumer Reports’ subscribers, they fall at the bottom of the
list among fast-food restaurants. Among the standouts were In-N-Out.
Burger and Five Guys Burgers and
Fries. The full report and Ratings are available in the magazine’s
October issue and on
www.ConsumerReports.org.
“In this case, the bigger-name
burger wasn’t better” said Tod Marks, Senior Project Editor for Consumer
Reports. “The Five Guys patty was more flavorful, juicy and meaty
tasting”
Consumer Reports recently polled
28,000 online subscribers and asked them to rate the burgers they had
eaten on their last visit on a scale of 1 to 10 from least delicious
burger ever eaten to most. We rated 18 fast-food restaurants across the
country .Although other popular fast-food chains such as Wendy’s and
Burger King fared better than McDonald’s, they scored far worse than the
highest-rated chains. Other fast-food frontrunners noted for their
delicious burgers included Fuddruckers, Burgerville and Back Yard
Burgers.
In addition to conducting the
survey, Consumer Reports sent a reporter to make an informal comparison
of the fare at Five Guys and McDonald’s (he couldn’t get his hands on an
In-N-Out Burger). Five Guys basic burger of two 3.3-ounce griddled
patties on a lightly browned sesame seed bun was bigger and beefier came
with a $5 price tag and offered 15 free toppings choices. McDonald’s
$1-burger – a 3.5 ounce patty with pickle slices, bits of raw onion, and
a dab of ketchup and mustard on a lightly browned bun – tasted mild and
more greasy than beefy with the major flavor coming from the toppings.
The full report and
Ratings of burgers is available in the October issue of Consumer Reports
available on newsstands September 7th wherever magazine are sold and on
www.ConsumerReports.org.
