Among many who try, these two chains transcend the fast food label and make genuinely good hamburgers and cheeseburgers.
Five Guys is a global burger company known for its large fries and fresh, customisable burgers.
The menu is minimal but reliable. Culver's is a regional fast food restaurant that operates in the Midwest and Southern United States.
Culver's menu includes chicken, cheese curds, and fried fish, but it's most known for its frozen custard and famous ButterBurgers.
These aren't much different from your regular smash burger, but the buttered bread that inspired the name is irresistible.
Overall, both chains serve good burgers, and it's difficult to choose between the two.
But no one ever claimed life was easy, so we went through the process and compared the two chains head to head.
