• There were double cheeseburgers from McDonald's, Wendy's, Burger King, Shake Shack, White Castle, Whataburger, and Five Guys.

  • I was blown away by White Castle's small, cheap, and super-flavorful burgers.

  • The Double-Double was a great value.

A burger from Burger King cost me more than two dollars.

The sandwich was really good. I usually pay a lot more for my coffee.

Two of the chain's beef patties are on a sesame-seed bun.

One slice of cheese is included.

The other burgers I tried were better.

The patties were thick. The burger was a little more than 15 minutes from my local Burger King to my apartment, but it still tasted good.

The sesame-seed bun added a nice textural element to the thick andcrunchy pickles. I thought there was a little too much of the sauce.

I liked it a little heavy. I jumped into the rest of the taste test because it filled me up a little more than I had expected. For a burger that costs just over $2, that may be more of an asset than a problem.

Wendy's Double Stack is a burger that the chain calls a Double Stack. I ordered it for a low price.

It was similar to the prices of the burgers from Burger King and Mcdonald's.

A Wendy's double cheeseburger comes with two junior-size hamburger patties, American cheese, and condiments.

The sandwich had a lot of the same things in the center. They should have been spread out more.

The burger bun was light and fluffy.

I had to eat a few bites to get to the center of the dish.

The topping themselves were really good. I liked the use of an onion ring over the diced onion in the burgers I tried. I would have preferred more.

I paid $3.79 for the double cheeseburger from Mcdonalds.

McDonald's double cheeseburger.Erin McDowell/Insider

It was a bit more expensive than Burger King's version. It had an extra slice of American cheese and some chopped onions.

The double cheeseburger at Mcdonald's comes with two beef patties, two slices of American cheese, and a side of condiments.

McDonald's double cheeseburger.Erin McDowell/Insider

I wanted to know if the added topping would make the flavor better.

The ingredients came together nicely in this burger, but the bun wasn't great.

McDonald's double cheeseburger.Erin McDowell/Insider

The bun held everything together and was a good size, but it was a little too soft and lacked a lot of flavor. I liked the amount of condiments and they were not overpowering.

The burger patties were juicy even though they were thinner than the Burger King ones. I like the added cheese, but I don't think it's necessary.

The Whataburger was in the eighth place.

I spent $6.74 at a Whataburger.

I ordered it with a large bun and American cheese.

The burger was a decent size and I could see the cheese on it.

Unlike the other double cheeseburgers, this one had sliced jalapeo peppers.

This burger is different from the others.

I thought the burgers had a really good texture and had a lot of flavor.

The bun was light and fluffy, but I thought the patties could have been a little bigger.

The double cheeseburger from P. Terry's Burger Stand was in the top seven.

P. Terry's double cheeseburger.Erin McDowell/Insider

It was one of the cheapest burgers I tried.

The P. Terry's burger was bigger than the Whataburger burger.

P. Terry's double cheeseburger.Erin McDowell/Insider

I ordered it with a lot of condiments.

The size of the cheese made up for the small detail.

P. Terry's double cheeseburger.Erin McDowell/Insider

You can easily add grilled onions, the chain's special sauce, tomato, lettuce, and more to your burger at P.Terry's.

I thought the burgers were good.

P. Terry's double cheeseburger.Erin McDowell/Insider

The bun wasn't great, but I think it was an excellent large burger with tons of flavor, especially for the low price. The mustard really made a difference to the burger.

The second most expensive burger I ever tried was the double cheeseburger.

Shake Shack double cheeseburger.Erin McDowell/Insider

I paid $9.49 for a cheeseburger. I was able to make my own topping, but I went with the usual suspects.

I thought the burger was really big.

Shake Shack double cheeseburger.Erin McDowell/Insider

The patties were covered in melted cheese and were perfect for eating. The food looked homemade. It was very heavy to carry.

The chain's signature sauce, which is a mayonnaise-based sauce with a slight mustard flavor, made it really delicious.

Shake Shack double cheeseburger.Erin McDowell/Insider

The cheese was very soft and melty.

It was a bit overwhelming to bite into the Shake Shack burger.

The burger was large, which made it an asset and a problem.

Despite being the most expensive burger, I think it's worth it. The burger patties were a lot thicker than the other burgers I tried, and the topping definitely took it over the edge.

I was impressed, but not as much as I would have liked.

White Castle has a double cheese sandwich.

White Castle double cheeseburger.Erin McDowell/Insider

I ordered two White Castle sliders. I paid only $4.18 for a generous amount of food because each burger cost me $2.

The burgers were tasty.

I removed the burgers from the bag after smelling them.

Each burger had a lot of different things on it.

The cucumbers were good. Though the burgers each had a bun sandwiched in the middle of the burger, it wasn't too bready and it allowed the flavors to come together while still being filling.

I was surprised by the food at White Castle.

I was expecting them to be a little lackluster. Good things come in smaller packages. The condiments were good, but it was the beef that caught my eye.

The small-but-mighty burger was one of the most delicious burgers I've had.

Five Guys is my fourth favorite burger place.

Five Guys cheeseburger.Erin McDowell/Insider

The regular cheeseburgers at Five Guys come with two slices of cheese and two beef patties.

The most expensive burger I've tried is my $11.87 one.

I ordered a burger with a lot of condiments, but I was able to make my own.

Five Guys cheeseburger.Erin McDowell/Insider

The topping were generous. There were no extras to add to the pickle slices.

The burger was big.

Five Guys cheeseburger.Erin McDowell/Insider

It was a perfect size. It was not as heavy as the burger from Shake Shack. There was no sauce that dripped out from underneath the sesame-seed buns.

On the outside, the burger patties were not as good as on the inside.

Five Guys cheeseburger.Erin McDowell/Insider

I didn't think the slices were thick. The choice of a sesame-seed bun added a bit of texture to the food.

I liked the grilled onions. They had a lot of flavor that I didn't get from any other burger.

Sonic Drive-In is my third favorite restaurant.

SuperSonic double cheeseburger.Erin McDowell/Insider

The only burger I tried was the Super Sonic double cheeseburger. Since this was the default option, I decided to try it with the ones I already had.

I paid $9.14 for the burger.

The burger was made with shredded lettuce, tomatoes, two slices of cheese, diced onions, pickles, mayonnaise, and condiments.

Sonic has a quarter-pound double cheeseburger that comes with two junior patties, but the full-size burger has half a pound of meat.

The bun was soft enough to hold the burger together.

All the ingredients tasted great. The burger was juicy, the lettuce was crisp, and the tomato was not too watery. The burger was a very generous size, and I thought the pickles and condiments added a lot to the different flavors.

The price was a bit steep compared to what I got from Cook Out and In-N- Out.

My second favorite double cheeseburger was from Cook Out.

Cook Out big double burger.Erin McDowell/Insider

I ordered my big double with cheese, condiments, and condiments. It cost me less than that.

There were two juicy patties in the burger.

The burger was out of place for the price.

The burger was medium-rare and the cheese slices were thick. I couldn't get through more than a few bites after I had eaten dinner, but I wanted to go back for more.

The second-to-top spot on my ranking was earned by this burger.

I think the Double-Double burger from In-N- Out is the best double cheeseburger.

In-N-Out Double-Double burger.Erin McDowell/Insider

I thought it was a great deal for the large burger sitting in front of me. The burger patties were a lot thicker than other burgers I tried at the same price point.

Most Double-Double burgers come with some kind of spread.

In-N-Out Double-Double burger.Erin McDowell/Insider

I thought my burger tasted like Thousand Island dressing, so I ordered it with onions, pickles, and spread.

The first thing I noticed about the In-N- Out burger was how good it was.

In-N-Out Double-Double burger.Erin McDowell/Insider

I couldn't say that any other burger was as good as the one I tried.

The bun was soft and held everything together, while the special spread made my mouth water.

I think the In-N- Out double cheeseburger is the best burger for its price.

In-N-Out Double-Double burger.Erin McDowell/Insider

While I liked the burgers from White Castle, the In-N- Out burger was larger and more filling than the sliders did.

The West Coast chain nailed the double cheeseburger. The burger was delicious, the size was perfect, and the price was good. I know where I'll get my burger when I'm in an In-N- Out.
