The Agency recently revealed their top pick for the best McDonald's burger, and it's causing quite a stir. No matter if you're a loyal Big Mac fan or a die-hard McNugget lover, everyone has a strong opinion about their go-to order at the fast food chain. With its immense popularity in the UK, McDonald's has made some changes to their menu over the years, but there are a few items that have stood the test of time.
From the Filet-O-Fish to the newly introduced McPlant, there's something on the menu for everyone. But which burger reigns supreme? According to Reddit users, the Double Quarter Pounder takes the top spot. This hefty burger boasts two beef patties, two slices of cheese, onions, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Others argue that you can never go wrong with a classic Big Mac, while some still long for the return of the McRib.
Curious about the opinions of the team at The Agency, we asked them to rank the McDonald's burgers from best to worst. Here's their honest verdict:
1. Cheeseburger
The humble cheeseburger takes the top spot for our team. This classic burger has it all - beef, cheese, onions, pickles, mustard, and ketchup, all nestled between a soft bun. And for those with a bigger appetite, it can easily be upgraded to a double or even a bacon cheeseburger. Plus, you can customize it to your liking by adding or removing ingredients.
For our resident food expert, Courtney Pochin, the cheeseburger is the ultimate choice at McDonald's. She's been enjoying them since her Happy Meal days, but prefers to skip the onions and mustard. According to her, less is more when it comes to this burger. And she's not alone in her opinion - our video editor, Chris Rickett, agrees that the cheeseburger is unbeatable, with its perfect balance of ingredients.
2. Quarter Pounder
Coming in at a close second is the Quarter Pounder with Cheese, and its larger counterpart, the Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese. These burgers are essentially just bigger versions of the cheeseburger, with a little more of everything. Our assistant lifestyle editor, Jessica Lindsay, and head of social video, Alex Goldsmith, both agree that you can't go wrong with either of these options. And with McDonald's new "best burger" cooking method, the flavor of the Quarter Pounder has only improved.
3. Big Mac
The iconic Big Mac takes third place on our list. This burger is a fan favorite and a true institution at McDonald's. With its two beef patties, cheese, lettuce, onions, pickles, and famous sauce, all sandwiched between three buns, it's no wonder people take it seriously. For our fashion and beauty expert, Sarah Bradbury, there's nothing better than a Big Mac, especially when she's hungover. And for our first person and opinion editor, Ross McCafferty, it's all about that special sauce.
4. McSpicy
The McSpicy divided our team, with some loving it and others not so much. Launched in 2021 as McDonald's hottest burger yet, it features a spicy chicken fillet, lettuce, and mayo on a toasted bun. Some of our team members, like Courtney and Jess Austin, were big fans, while others, like Sarah, weren't as impressed. But overall, it's a solid choice for those who like a little kick in their burger.
5. Filet-O-Fish
Rounding out the list is the Filet-O-Fish, a polarizing option among our team. Some argue that it's not even a burger, while others, like Sarah, consider it a favorite. This burger features a pollock fish fillet, cheese, and tartar sauce on a steamed bun. For Sarah, it's all about the comfort factor, as it reminds her of her childhood love for fish fingers, chips, and beans. Our acting lifestyle editor, Kristina Beanland, also enjoys the Filet-O-Fish, noting that it's a reliable and delicious option.
The Agency has announced their top choice for the best McDonald's burger. From the iconic Big Mac to the recently introduced McPlant, there's something for everyone on the UK's favorite fast food chain's menu. But which one takes the crown? According to the people of Reddit, it's the Double Quarter Pounder that reigns supreme. This sizable burger boasts two beef patties, two slices of cheese, onions, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. But others argue that you can't go wrong with a classic Big Mac or the long-lost McRib.
The team at The Agency took on the difficult task of ranking McDonald's burgers from best to worst. So without further ado, here's their honest verdict:
1. Cheeseburger
The humble cheeseburger takes the top spot as the ultimate crowd-pleaser. It's a classic for a reason, with its perfect combination of beef, cheese, onions, pickles, ketchup, and mustard in a soft bun. And for those with a bigger appetite, you can upgrade to a double or bacon cheeseburger and customize it to your liking. Metro's food writer, Courtney Pochin, believes that sometimes simplicity is best, and the cheeseburger proves just that. The rest of the team agrees, with Metro's video editor, Chris Rickett, calling it a "perfect squishy delight."
2. Quarter Pounder
Coming in a close second is the Quarter Pounder with Cheese. It's essentially a bigger version of the cheeseburger, so it's no surprise that it's a hit with the team. Plus, with McDonald's new method of cooking beef, the flavor has only improved. Assistant lifestyle editor, Jessica Lindsay, and head of social video, Alex Goldsmith, both agree that you can't go wrong with a Quarter Pounder.
3. Big Mac
The iconic Big Mac takes third place, with its two beef patties, cheese, lettuce, onions, pickles, and famous sauce in between three buns. It's a fan favorite and the perfect hangover cure for some of the team members. Metro's fashion and beauty expert, Sarah Bradbury, admits that she loves a Big Mac, especially with added lettuce and pickles. Deputy first person and opinion editor, Ross McCafferty, believes that it's the sauce that sets it apart from other burgers.
4. McSpicy
The McSpicy chicken burger caused some division within the team, with some loving it and others not so much. With its spicy chicken fillet, lettuce, and mayo, it's definitely not for the faint of heart. But for those who can handle the heat, it's a solid choice for a McDonald's order. The team did wish it had cheese, though.
5. Filet-O-Fish
Rounding out the top five is the Filet-O-Fish, which is a bit of a controversial choice. Some don't consider it a burger, but for others, it's a childhood favorite. The pollock fish, cheese, and tartare sauce make for a comforting combination, according to lifestyle editor, Kristina Beanland. Acting lifestyle editor, Kristina Beanland, agrees that it's a reliable option, especially for those who love tartare sauce.
In the end, everyone has their own go-to McDonald's order, and there's no wrong choice. Whether you're a fan of the classic cheeseburger or prefer a spicier option like the McSpicy, there's something for everyone on the menu. So next time you're at McDonald's, give one of these top-ranked burgers a try and see if you agree with The Agency's verdict.
