In-N-Out humiliated by little-known underdog in fast food rankings
Share and Follow

In-N-Out Burger’s standings in the fast food industry keep sinking now that its Double-Double has slipped…again.

The Double-Double’s ranking dropped two places to number four on USA Today’s list of best fast food burgers.

The In-N-Out Burger creation, which includes two cheese slices and beef patties, accompanied by onions, tomato, lettuce, and their special sauce, ranked lower than Jack in the Box, A&W, and Habit Burger & Grill.

Similar to the previous year, Habit Burger & Grill secured the top spot with its popular Double Char, featuring two beef patties, onions, lettuce, tomato, and pickles.

A&W and Jack in the Box were praised for its Papa Burger and Jumbo Jack Cheeseburger, coming in at number three and four respectively.

Culver’s rounded up the top 5 with its double ButterBurger with cheese after missing out on the list last year.

Multiple chains have had its financial up and downs this year including Jack in the Box, which is planning to shutter between 150 and 200 locations.

While In-N-Out has beaten the odds and expanded, CEO Lynsi Snyder sparked outrage after deciding to move the company to Tennessee.

Five Guys’ cheeseburgers were kicked out of the top five this year even though it continuers to be a popular offering.

Shake Shack also created a massive shakeup by ranking seventh with its ShakeBurger, made with lettuce, tomato, cheese and signature sauce.

Freddy’s Frozen Custard and Steakburgers’ Original Double jumped into the list at number 8.

Made with steakburger patties, cheese, onion, pickles and mustard, the offering has been a longtime fan favorite order.

Burger King managed to finish ninth in the ranking with its Whopper, even after experiencing a 1.3 percent drop in North American sales.

However, its signature item continues to be popular, and may have helped now-shuttered restaurants rake in earnings.

Whataburger clinched the tenth spot with its renowned Double Meat Whataburger, prepared with never-frozen beef, topped with tomato, lettuce, onions, pickles, and mustard.

Multiple chains in this year’s ranking kicked out prominent brands like White Castle, Carl’s Jr. and BurgerFi, a top brand that filed for bankruptcy last year.

With over 400 locations nationwide, In-N-Out has shown no signs of slowing down despite the downfall of restaurant chains.

Habit Burger & Grill has been busy expanding its nearly 400 restaurant count, and is focusing on growth in Asia.

Jack in the Box on the other hand as been looking to get back on track with earnings and customer traffic.

An example of its plan is to downsize, and it’s even looking for buyers to purchase Del Taco, a struggling brand with a franchisee that filed for bankruptcy in July.

Culver’s and Shake Shack are expanding and revamping menus while accepting their top three ranking in this year’s list of the nation’s priciest fast-food chains.

Despite its number 10 ranking, Whataburger is looking to grow its 1,100+ store count, and hopes to do that with former McDonald’s executive Todd Ewen, the chain’s senior vice president and chief development officer.
