If you love a good burger debate, here’s some fresh fuel for the fire: “USA Today” has crowned Habit Burger’s Double Char the best fast-food burger in America for the second straight year.
The Habit says the burger’s signature flavor comes from cooking its patties over an open flame — which is a tradition that dates back to the chain’s first restaurant near Santa Barbara in 1969.
And it seems like most people are happy for them... except In-N-Out. 😂
Here are the top 10 fast-food burgers in America:
- The Double Char from Habit Burger & Grill
- The Double-Double from In-N-Out
- The Original Double from Freddy’s
- The Papa Burger from A&W
- The ButterBurger Cheese Double from Culver’s
- The SmokeShack from Shake Shack
- The Cheeseburger from Five Guys
- The Whopper from Burger King
- The Son of Baconator from Wendy’s
- The Double Meat Whataburger from Whataburger
And if that list has you craving a burger, Jacksonville burger fans have an extra reason to celebrate.
To celebrate being named USA Today’s #1 Burger in America for the third consecutive year and #1 Fast Casual Restaurant for the second year in a row, Habit Burger & Grill is giving back to its fans with a pretty delicious giveaway.
On Saturday, August 22, the first 50 guests at each of Habit Burger’s participating Jacksonville locations will score a FREE Double Charburger, while supplies last.
The giveaway will be happening at:
📍 Jacksonville Bay: 9171 Baymeadows Road, Jacksonville, FL 32256
📍 Jacksonville Beach: 13559 Beach Blvd., Jacksonville, FL 32224
So, What’s in the Double Char?
If you’re wondering what makes the burger worthy of all this hype, the Double Char comes with two freshly chargrilled beef patties, caramelized onions, crisp lettuce, fresh tomato, pickles and mayo, all served on a toasted bun.
And Jacksonville isn’t done getting more Habit, either.
River City is getting another Habit Burger location later this year. More details are coming soon, so stay tuned!
In the meantime, if you’re willing to get there early on August 22, you could be walking away with one of America’s top-ranked burgers... for FREE. 🍔
