Sorry, Utah! In-N-Out is NO LONGER America’s Favorite Burger… But THIS PLACE is!

When someone mentions “the best burger in America,” it’s natural for your mind to go straight to In-N-Out’s iconic Double-Double. For years, it’s been the reigning champ for burger lovers here in Utah. But according to USA Today, those days are over! That’s right—the Double-Double has been dethroned. The new king? A burger from a chain you can find all over the Beehive State!

USA TODAY'S TOP 10 BEST FAST FOOD BURGERS IN AMERICA

#10 – The 1921 Slider at White Castle
Sure, Utah doesn’t have a White Castle, but their frozen sliders are stocked in just about every Walmart. And honestly? They’re pretty darn good when you’re craving something quick and tasty.

#9 – Double Western Bacon Cheeseburger at Carl’s Jr.
This is a personal favorite! Smoky BBQ sauce, onion rings, and bacon? It’s a masterpiece. How this only landed at #9 is beyond me—it’s practically a Utah road trip essential!

#8 – Burger King Whopper
The Whopper. A timeless classic that still deserves some love. Burger King doesn’t get as much attention as it used to, but it’s hard to beat a flame-grilled burger with all the fixings. (Side note: their breakfast sandwiches are still top-tier!)

#7 – ButterBurger Double Cheeseburger at Culver’s
Utahns, if you haven’t tried Culver’s yet, you’re missing out. This Midwest import is gaining a solid following here, and for good reason. Their burgers are buttery perfection, and let’s not forget—you can swap fries for cheese curds. That’s a win in my book.

#6 – Double Meat Whataburger at Whataburger
Whataburger is great, no doubt about it, but have you seen those prices? Utah has a handful of locations now, so if you’re curious, give it a try—but maybe bring your wallet.

#5 – Five Guys Cheeseburger
This one’s a crowd-pleaser, but I have one major gripe: where’s the drive-thru? If Five Guys added drive-thrus, they’d instantly see a boom in lazy-day customers like me. Still, their burgers are absolutely worth the effort.

#4 – Jumbo Jack at Jack in the Box
Jack in the Box recently arrived in Northern Utah, and let me tell you—it was chaos. People lined up for blocks to get their hands on one of these. Is it worth the hype? You’ll have to decide, but it’s definitely a solid contender.

#3 – BBQ Rodeo Burger at BurgerFi
This one surprised me. BurgerFi isn’t a household name in Utah, but their BBQ Rodeo Burger snagged the #3 spot. If you stumble across one, let me know if it lives up to the ranking!

#2 – In-N-Out Double Double
Alright, take a deep breath, In-N-Out fans. The Double-Double, while still amazing, slipped to second place. It’s hard to believe our beloved staple didn’t take the crown, but hey—#2 isn’t bad!

#1 – Habit Burger & Grill’s Double Char Burger
Drumroll, please! The new champ is Habit Burger’s Double Char Burger. With multiple locations across Utah, it’s easy to see what all the fuss is about. The flame-grilled patties and perfectly charred flavor have earned them the title of America’s best fast-food burger.

So, there you have it! Whether you’re mourning In-N-Out’s loss or planning your next trip to Habit Burger, one thing’s for sure—the burger battle is heating up. Utahns, what do you think? Did USA Today get it right? Time to put Habit Burger to the test!
