More than 6,000 people took part in Zagat’s annual fast food survey, with McDonald’s taking home the title of Best Fries, Best Breakfast Sandwich and several others, but a smaller chain took home the title of Best Burger.
According to the survey, Five Guys Burgers and Fries was rated the Best Burger, with McDonald’s coming in at the No. 5 spot. In-N-Out Burger, Wendy’s and Burger King also placed higher than McDonald’s in the category.
Other Zagat categories McDonald’s came out on top of were Best Value, Best Value Menu, Most Child-Friendly and Best Drive-Thru.
Five Guys’ French fries came in second, right behind McDonald’s, with Wendy’s, In-N-Out and Chick-fil-A rounding out the top 5 French Fry makers in Zagat's survey.
Among full-service chains, Cheesecake Factory was the big winner in the survey, earning the top spot in the Best Salads, Best Appetizers, Best Desserts and Best Value categories.
