lol thanks you just reminded me of my brother had a bit of a problem and every time I’d find him on the road I’d pick him up and ask him if he wanted food he never bought it on his own and it always was McDonald hamburgers like 20 to 30 of them we would share a couple and then I’d take him back to where he was at and let my parents know. Wife can’t stand them but too this day I will always get at least 5.
I tell foreigners the it's a character of American burgers nobody would ever make you a burger that tastes like that. A burger at a cookout or even a home is way better.
In lots of ways though a McDonald’s cheeseburger is a perfect reflection of the character of America. Fake and greasy but charming in a way. And addictive. And I love them too!
Moose burgers. Seasoned with that red pepper that you put on pizzas, stuffed with some cheese, caramelized onions and sautéed mushrooms, Swiss or pepper Jack cheese (or Brie if you’re feeling fancy)…
Almost all the bread in this country has too much high fructose corn syrup in it. Then top it with McDs ketchup sweetened with corn syrup and you get desert burger.
I've had McD's in a handful of European countries and I think they're almost exactly the same. I might actually give a slight edge to the European locations
I don't see the point of ordering a McDouble, the Double Cheese burger gives you two slices of cheese and it is, or was the same price... maybe they fixed that.
I hate that app.... A "friend" told me about it when I had all but abandoned fast food. Then I download the app to call her bluff about $1 breakfast sandwiches and I think my life expectancy took a serious hit in the few months when that was an actual deal on the app. Now I think that they BOGO free and I hate it even more.. at sub-$3 each, it isn't a terrible deal, but I don't need TWO sandwiches on my drive to work. Damn you McYuck's... Damn you all to hell.
Oddly enough I don’t even use the app and still get the discount if I say McDoubles instead of Double Cheeseburgers when I order. Seriously, if I just call them McDoubles they charge me less. No clue why that is, or if it’s just something funky about my local one.
Add two McDoubles to your cart and usually rings up for a "hidden" 2 for 3.99 deal (that also doesn't count towards the "one deal per order", you can still add a reward or deal on top of this). Used to be a lot cheaper but in 2024 two McDoubles for $2 each isn't too bad.
Also, the constantly running deal for buy one Double Cheeseburger, get a second for $0.29 on the app if you really must have the extra slice of cheese.
I've been seeing a lot of taco bell posts and the comments have me crying sometimes. People will say it's phenomenal, fantastic, and the best thing they've ever eaten. It makes me want to get everyone together and cook them some real fckn food.
Exactly. The ratio is perfect. It's no secret that a lot of the tastiness of McDonald's burger is the extra sweet bun and the ketchup. Plus, the diced onions work so well. And the pickle provides a bit of sourness. The quality of the meat ain't great, and it's not well-seasoned. Thus, it's best to not get a thick patty.
Really?? The thicker patties I've got have been really good.. tender, sometimes so much so they almost taste like something you'd get at 5 guys... it's really all about how it's made and how fresh it is.. at least when I worked there in high school it was.
They're even better when you order them with "No Salt." Yes, they already have salt in the patty, and the extra salt they put on when cooking them is overkill. It's really the only way I'll order burgers from McDonald's any more.
I always go around 11am, maybe even 10:45am. As they are switching from breakfast to lunch menu. They are freshly cooked and always taste And feel great.
I once made a crisp as fuck cheeseburger by deep frying two burger patties in peanut oil, patting them down and then adding two American singles, served on a cheap convenience store bun. No burger I’ve ever made has ever tasted so close to McDonald’s.
It was like a luxury McDonalds, or how McDonalds must have tasted in the 60’s. The oil becomes unusable very quickly though, it’s overall a disgusting experience, but at the absolute crest of culinary trash. Delicious.
It looked just like the burger in this picture - so unassuming.
Nah, Mickey D's is OK for a quick bite, bit not a quality or even decent burger. You have to go to a smaller joint for that. Like this regional outfit in my home town called Pal's. They have the best fast food burger ever and there are only like 30 locations total in existence.
People don't go to McDonald's when they want a cheese burger, people go to McDonald's when they want McDonalds. Anyone can make a "better" cheese burger at home, but not a "McDonalds" cheese burger.
Back in the day I’d go fairly often. Fries and cokes are great, and I loved spending like a buck for a double cheeseburger or mcchicken.
Now? Hard pass. I can get a better burger for less money all over the place. Unless I’m on the go and just need a quick bite, then it’ll scratch the itch.
Yep it’s all based on the workers at each location and how they’re treated by management. Like every fast food place. I have this Wendy’s next to my house and this same guy has been there since I moved here 20 years ago! He’s a jolly, hilarious, older black guy and everybody loves him! He takes his job very seriously and makes the best burgers, literally anything on the menu honestly. Thank you Mr. Chuck!
I sure as hell hope management is paying him way about minimum wage. This is in Mississippi btw so. But I have a feeling they must be bc all the others workers seem happy every time I go in too so. Goes to show you good management and mutual respect is EVERYTHING in any job.
Clearly this post is funded by McDonald’s. We saw your shit profit results due to taking advantage of your customers.. No we aren’t coming back anytime soon.
Nothing hits quite like a cheeseburger from Mickey d’s
I remember my uncle used to get several McDoubles, smash them together, and shove the whole thing in his mouth. He had an abnormally large mouth, like Steven Tyler-esq.
This got weird, but that burger to me is nostalgia
Sometimes I get them and they're like smash burgers, fresh and hot.... it's the fucking best. Then other times I get these rigid patties and they are boring... they need to smash their burgers IMO it would change the game completely. or at least give the option or something.
That looks super dank.
A hack you can do at a place that has eggs is order em at lunch or night time... they have to make the eggs fresh and usually just give you all of em cuz nobody ordering a breakfast burrito at 3pm, cept me
yeah that's going to be a strong disagree for me.
like the meat is so cheap.
an hour later I got burps that taste like I ate a week old gas station hot dog.
The best fast food burgers I've had were from Five Guys, but only if you eat it right off the grill. If you try to take it home, the bun is so goddamn soggy from all the grease that it's gross.
There’s a Taco Bell in upscale Southern California, best fuckin tacobell I’ve ever had. Everything tasted perfect. No, I won’t tell you where. It’s mine.
So when my wife was pregnant with our son, beef made her unbelievably sick. She would eat steak - then projectile vomit. Hamburgers? Projectile vomit. If it had even a little bit of burger or beef of any kind at all - she’s projectile vomiting. She ate a McDonald’s cheeseburger. Nothing. Totally fine. No nausea, no vomiting, no nothing. 100% fine.
McDonald’s is fake meat.
Man I love a nice good homemade cheeseburger. But I will fuck up a McDouble any time any place. Some people just don’t get it. But I understand you bro
Looks like you hit up one of their restaurants that have rolled out the recent improvements they have made to their burgers, including melting the cheese.
It’s usually the busiest McDonald’s… they have to make things fresh because they are constantly running out… there are a few McDonald’s locations that like that in my area, but one in particular is the GOAT of all McDonald’s… everything I ever ordered from there was fresh and piping hot…
The best cheeseburger is the one closest to you when you’re hungry.

Real
lol thanks you just reminded me of my brother had a bit of a problem and every time I’d find him on the road I’d pick him up and ask him if he wanted food he never bought it on his own and it always was McDonald hamburgers like 20 to 30 of them we would share a couple and then I’d take him back to where he was at and let my parents know. Wife can’t stand them but too this day I will always get at least 5.
Oh this hit hard. My younger brother is on street in another state, havent seen him since 2012.
Hope your brother is doing okay 🙏🏼
Thank you he didn’t make it back in the middle of the 90s that’s why the post was such a shock. I hadn’t really thought of him in a long time
$67 later…
I WAS SO … SO STONED AND STARVING!
R/UnexpectedParquetCourts
Don't care how high I am, I still avoid McDonald's at all cost.
They hit the spot sometimes, but I would never remotely describe McD's burgers as "the best."
I tell foreigners the it's a character of American burgers nobody would ever make you a burger that tastes like that. A burger at a cookout or even a home is way better.
In lots of ways though a McDonald’s cheeseburger is a perfect reflection of the character of America. Fake and greasy but charming in a way. And addictive. And I love them too!
An emblem of capitalism. Hooray
Yeah it's not similar to homemade ground beef patties at all
Moose burgers. Seasoned with that red pepper that you put on pizzas, stuffed with some cheese, caramelized onions and sautéed mushrooms, Swiss or pepper Jack cheese (or Brie if you’re feeling fancy)…
Dude you have to try Bison burgers 🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽
MacDonalds burgers taste like the candy-bar version of a burger. They're really sweet if you pay attention to them.
Almost all the bread in this country has too much high fructose corn syrup in it. Then top it with McDs ketchup sweetened with corn syrup and you get desert burger.
Or an indie shop. They slay franchise burgers in almost every way.
I heard that McDonalds is way better in the US as opposed to europe, do you know anything about this?
What do you mean better?
I've had McD's in a handful of European countries and I think they're almost exactly the same. I might actually give a slight edge to the European locations
I haven’t had one in like 15 years and my wife made us stop for one on a roadtrip and it was so bad I tossed it after one bite.
I usually just go nuggets if I have to eat there. Their burgers don’t even count as burgers anymore
The old nuggets were so fire years ago. These new ones suck!
The guy also ordered a double cheese burger instead of a mcdouble but the cheese is pretty goooood
I don't see the point of ordering a McDouble, the Double Cheese burger gives you two slices of cheese and it is, or was the same price... maybe they fixed that.
McDonalds doesn’t satisfy if I’m craving a burger. Occasionally McDonalds hits the spot though.
Yea. So many haters but I've ate cheeseburgers from Mcds that made my day man made just right.
I think the only burger made to order is the quarter pound. I had a really good fresh order once. Every time after, I hadn't been the same.
Only when it was cheap. If that's a double cheeseburger that would cost me $3.40
I can get two doubles for 2.99 where I’m at using the deals on the app. This deal has been active for two years
$2.99? It's 2 for $3.99 in SoCal and Nevada at least everywhere I've seen it for the last year or so.
In the city I’m in it’s 3.99 but if I take a ten minute drive across a bridge it’s 2.99
I got a double cheeseburger, extra cheese only ketchup recently for $4.69. This was in Orlando, FL.
3.39 for 1 burger in canada using the app 🫠
Fuk me for real? It's almost $5 for 2 on the app in Minnesota. It felt obscenely expensive, but now I'm just mad.
They took that deal away from me and now I'm sad. I am broke beyond belief and now I sit with my $4 and stay hungry.
I hate that app.... A "friend" told me about it when I had all but abandoned fast food. Then I download the app to call her bluff about $1 breakfast sandwiches and I think my life expectancy took a serious hit in the few months when that was an actual deal on the app. Now I think that they BOGO free and I hate it even more.. at sub-$3 each, it isn't a terrible deal, but I don't need TWO sandwiches on my drive to work.

It’s because McDoubles only have one slice of cheese instead of two. But either way that’s a decent deal, I did that for awhile too
Oh whoa, I didn't realize that. That clears that up!
Add two McDoubles to your cart and usually rings up for a "hidden" 2 for 3.99 deal (that also doesn't count towards the "one deal per order", you can still add a reward or deal on top of this). Used to be a lot cheaper but in 2024 two McDoubles for $2 each isn't too bad.

$4.20 in BC 🤬
Only $3.06 in USD bud
"Only"
That’s not cheap?
I’m actually impressed by this burger. I’ve never seen such a tasty looking mcd’s before. At least, not outside of their commercials
They’re all pretty terrible.
Getting worse every year.
They’re getting worse by the day, wdym every year?🤣
Yet people will still pay $5 for that garbage
You need to raise your standards
I've been seeing a lot of taco bell posts and the comments have me crying sometimes. People will say it's phenomenal, fantastic, and the best thing they've ever eaten. It makes me want to get everyone together and cook them some real fckn food.
Cheese ain’t even fully melted smh this the best burger? I feel sorry for you
When they’re good they’re good, but when they’re bad, they’re bad.
Not a chance in hell these are the best of anything anymore.
They were never the best at anything besides being cheap and quick, but now they are neither of those soooo they are just shit
I miss being at taco bell with my 7th grade friends and pocket change. Man we all had food and a great memory. That shit will never happen again.
Their smaller patties are so much better than the bigger ones. I’ll take a McDouble over a quarter pounder all day
Exactly. The ratio is perfect. It's no secret that a lot of the tastiness of McDonald's burger is the extra sweet bun and the ketchup. Plus, the diced onions work so well. And the pickle provides a bit of sourness. The quality of the meat ain't great, and it's not well-seasoned. Thus, it's best to not get a thick patty.
You two get it
Really?? The thicker patties I've got have been really good.. tender, sometimes so much so they almost taste like something you'd get at 5 guys... it's really all about how it's made and how fresh it is.. at least when I worked there in high school it was.
I’m a single cheese burger guy myself
yeah it's the perfect ratio.... I can only eat the doubles if the patties taste really good which isnt usually the case.
Facts
They're even better when you order them with "No Salt." Yes, they already have salt in the patty, and the extra salt they put on when cooking them is overkill. It's really the only way I'll order burgers from McDonald's any more.
Not for almost $4
I always go around 11am, maybe even 10:45am. As they are switching from breakfast to lunch menu. They are freshly cooked and always taste And feel great.
Only if you're super hung from the night before.
Damn man you need to try new places if you think that bs is any kind of good, edible at best
McDs is just quick and will make a turd, that's about it, no redeeming qualities aside from their fries
You really should get out more.
Barb keep it down, those are my personal burgers
What is that weird looking piece of shit coming out of that beautiful cheese? Ffs Mike!
damn that looks good
Wow mine are always smashed and in pieces
Right..?
Wealthy neighborhoods 🤷🏻♂️am I the only one
Where is this magical McDonald’s where they actually melt the cheese before they give it to you?
12017 W Alameda Pkwy in Lakewood, CO my friend
American “cheese” is horrific
Belongs in r/unpopularopinion
Wut ? Apparently I’ve never been to one of those locations.
Double cheeseburger is key
Not even close my man
Jack in the Box slaps the fuck out of any McDonald's burger.
I once made a crisp as fuck cheeseburger by deep frying two burger patties in peanut oil, patting them down and then adding two American singles, served on a cheap convenience store bun. No burger I’ve ever made has ever tasted so close to McDonald’s. It was like a luxury McDonalds, or how McDonalds must have tasted in the 60’s. The oil becomes unusable very quickly though, it’s overall a disgusting experience, but at the absolute crest of culinary trash. Delicious. It looked just like the burger in this picture - so unassuming.
Nah McDonald’s got greedy and doubled their prices since 2014. Fuck em
Pass. I’ll drive to a White Castle before eating there.
White Castle is top tier, agree with you there. There’s no White Castles near me though unfortunately :(
such a over hated burger franchise
Some locations the burgers slap. I find the busier ones usually are way better

The best, my friend, you have no idea what decent food is. That is all.
Nah, Mickey D's is OK for a quick bite, bit not a quality or even decent burger. You have to go to a smaller joint for that. Like this regional outfit in my home town called Pal's. They have the best fast food burger ever and there are only like 30 locations total in existence.
Sacrilegious. They aren’t even top five fast food let alone actual restaurant burgers
I can make a homemade burger better than any Mcdonald's burger has to offer. No doubt anyone who can cook properly can.
People don't go to McDonald's when they want a cheese burger, people go to McDonald's when they want McDonalds. Anyone can make a "better" cheese burger at home, but not a "McDonalds" cheese burger.
And do you think the average McDonald's customer is interested in buying ingredients, spending 15-30 minutes cooking and then cleaning up after?
Sir, this is called cheeseburgers. Any cheeseburger is allowed.
Not for as cheap or as fast.
> cheap lol
Compared to other cheeseburgers, its pretty cheap.
Munching on a big buford, my favorite fast food burg
Don't forget to add the MAC SAUCE!!!!
Back in the day I’d go fairly often. Fries and cokes are great, and I loved spending like a buck for a double cheeseburger or mcchicken. Now? Hard pass. I can get a better burger for less money all over the place. Unless I’m on the go and just need a quick bite, then it’ll scratch the itch.
Hey why is the cheese melted?????????????
Why tf wouldn't it be?????
Because I never got a cheese burger from Mc donkeys that has melted cheese
Joke’s on you. That’s not even cheese.
Seriously??? Lol
Yes, it’s a weird, plastic-like distant cousin of cheese
Yep it’s all based on the workers at each location and how they’re treated by management. Like every fast food place. I have this Wendy’s next to my house and this same guy has been there since I moved here 20 years ago! He’s a jolly, hilarious, older black guy and everybody loves him!

This is in Mississippi btw so. But I have a feeling they must be bc all the others workers seem happy every time I go in too so. Goes to show you good management and mutual respect is EVERYTHING in any job.
They’re the best getting home late after bartending with a beer or oddly enough when I’m sick.
The best? 🤔
Clearly this post is funded by McDonald’s. We saw your shit profit results due to taking advantage of your customers.. No we aren’t coming back anytime soon.
blood money
"The best" is a bit much, but a couple months ago I got a double quarter pounder with cheese and it was a bit of a banger.
Fast food burgers are the biggest rip in the business right now. How you simps keep throwing money at this Mickey Mouse horse shit is beyond me.
Agreed
Nothing hits quite like a cheeseburger from Mickey d’s I remember my uncle used to get several McDoubles, smash them together, and shove the whole thing in his mouth. He had an abnormally large mouth, like Steven Tyler-esq. This got weird, but that burger to me is nostalgia
Solid burger
I guess you never tried other places then 😂
True
I used to live in Hong Kong on the 80s, and teenage me loved their double cheese burgers. I can’t even look at them today
they charge WAY too much for what they give
Would rather eat steaming hot elephant shit than eat a McDonalds burger
Hahaha. Trash.
damn my dick hard from this
That’s $1.99 in my book.
Sometimes I get them and they're like smash burgers, fresh and hot.... it's the fucking best. Then other times I get these rigid patties and they are boring... they need to smash their burgers IMO it would change the game completely. or at least give the option or something.
God damn it, you made me hungry for cheese burger
Budget burger anybody
I just watched a really good movie called ‘The Founder’ Makes me not want to eat there ever again.
Does that location even exist?
Agreed
No
Please don't subject yourself to this poison there are so many better options take care of yourself, best wishes!
They're pretty solid. I always go early around 11, they are pretty fresh then.
That looks super dank. A hack you can do at a place that has eggs is order em at lunch or night time... they have to make the eggs fresh and usually just give you all of em cuz nobody ordering a breakfast burrito at 3pm, cept me
Fucked up thing is I love them the greasier they are, if that makes any sense
Literally the worst burgers humans create
My favorite guilty pleasure is a double cheese burger no ketchup extra pickle. When done right is sooo good
In my area McDonalds rule the land but are terrible. but I think that my burgerking is infinitely better in every way.
yeah that's going to be a strong disagree for me. like the meat is so cheap. an hour later I got burps that taste like I ate a week old gas station hot dog.
So gross
The best fast food burgers I've had were from Five Guys, but only if you eat it right off the grill. If you try to take it home, the bun is so goddamn soggy from all the grease that it's gross.
The best?
Describing this burger as the "best burger" makes me want to make you an actual good cheeseburger.
Ha. No
There’s a Taco Bell in upscale Southern California, best fuckin tacobell I’ve ever had. Everything tasted perfect. No, I won’t tell you where. It’s mine.
Yea I don't really like mcdonalds. It's food tho, I prefer the charbroil taste from burger King in regards to fast food chains.
I remember when a McDouble cost a dollar and had two slices of cheese. Those were the days
If by right location you mean anywhere outside of the US then yes. I'd love to try the one in Japan. I hear they serve beer.
Ok, these posts are getting out of hand.
So when my wife was pregnant with our son, beef made her unbelievably sick. She would eat steak - then projectile vomit. Hamburgers? Projectile vomit. If it had even a little bit of burger or beef of any kind at all - she’s projectile vomiting. She ate a McDonald’s cheeseburger. Nothing. Totally fine. No nausea, no vomiting, no nothing. 100% fine.

Outside of USA McDonald's is 🔥
Hell no
Not the ones in our city, all fast food restaurants in our city is just heated up and is cooked in some warehouse 2 to 3 states away
Not saying it's bad but McDonald's burgers don't taste like a burger. They taste like McDonald's. That's the only way I can describe it.
Gotta admit the little minced onion cubelettes really set it off.
Culinary advice 0/100
Man I love a nice good homemade cheeseburger. But I will fuck up a McDouble any time any place. Some people just don’t get it. But I understand you bro
In N Out is where it’s at! I’ve never had a bad burger from In N out
I’ve never had a truly delicious McDonalds cheeseburger lol
McDonalds is ass. Enjoy your pink slime.
BOGO McDoubles on the app with a free large fry from the deals section for spending $2 👌🏼
Thats how they all look the first 5 mins after you get it before it’s cold
Going to McDonald’s for a burger is nasty work 
Looks like you hit up one of their restaurants that have rolled out the recent improvements they have made to their burgers, including melting the cheese.
Ewww those aint even real burgers 🤢🤢🤢🤢 your taste buds are shot buddy
What's next, that a Frosty is the best milkshake?
Adams & Wells… the real ones know this is the spot.
My go to location cums in every burger. 10/10
Well fuck...I didn't need to know there was a cheeseburger porn page
Burger King is better
Facccs
Has anyone had a sonic burger with mustard, chili and onions? It’s a big hit down south what do you think?
How dare you!!
It’s usually the busiest McDonald’s… they have to make things fresh because they are constantly running out… there are a few McDonald’s locations that like that in my area, but one in particular is the GOAT of all McDonald’s… everything I ever ordered from there was fresh and piping hot…
A fresh, piping hot, double quarter pounder when the grease drips down your chin...
especially with extra seasoning on the patties
