A new YouGov survey found Five Guys is America’s favorite burger chain.
Burger King, In-N-Out, Wendy’s, and McDonald’s rounded out the top five.
The survey also ranked top chains across categories such as fries, coffee, and pizza.
Looking for a tasty burger tonight? According to a new survey, there's only one place you need to go.
In April, YouGov released the findings of its massive survey of American diners to learn which chains we prefer across fast-food, specialty restaurants, and casual dining. After all, according to USDA data, more than half the nation eats at a restaurant on any given day.
"Restaurants occupy a unique place in Americans’ daily lives. But in an increasingly competitive dining landscape, understanding which brands stand out has never been more important," Ashley Brown, the senior director at YouGov America, shared in a statement.
While the report covered everything from sandwiches and tacos to ice cream and coffee, we were most interested in where it found to offer the tastiest burgers.
According to the survey, Five Guys ranked as the top go-to burger spot, taking home 15.5 percent of the total vote, despite being far smaller than its larger counterparts. According to the chain, there are 1,950 locations in 29 countries, compared to McDonald's, which operates more than 44,000.
While the survey didn't get into why people picked Five Guys over the rest of the pack, fans often cite its delicious fries. Even President Obama is a huge fan, with TIME revealing that his go-to lunch order while living in DC was a cheeseburger with jalapeños, tomatoes, and mustard, plus fries. And, it doesn't hurt that the restaurant's employees always give you an extra scoop of fries in your bag, too.
Following closely behind Five Guys is Burger King, which got 15 percent of the vote, followed by In-N-Out with 12.1 percent, Wendy's at 10.2 percent, and McDonald's at 8.7 percent.
Five Guys also took the number two spot for best fries, with 9 percent of the vote, but it trailed far behind McDonald's, which nabbed 39.2 percent. Chick-fil-A garnered 7.1 percent, Wendy's got 6.9 percent, and Burger King took home 6.5 percent.
However, it was Chick-fil-A that took the number one spot for quality, with 37.3 percent of respondents voting for it; Jersey Mike's, Wendy's, and Firehouse Subs rounded out the top five.
As for those other rankings, Subway won for favorite subs, Taco Bell took home favorite tacos, Pizza Hut was named the most popular pizza spot, Olive Garden was the number one fast casual brand, Starbucks was named the top coffee chain, and Cold Stone Creamery was named the number one ice cream spot.
Great, now we want a burger, fries, a sub, and to chase it all down with an ice cream, too.
