America’s best fast-food burger revealed — and it’s not available in every state
Habit Burger & Grill’s Double Char has been named America’s best fast-food burger in USA TODAY’s 2026 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards. The result matters because it gives a third consecutive national reader-voted title to a chain that is not available across every US state.
The Double Char burger is flame-charred and secured first place for the third year running. Habit Burger & Grill was also voted best fast-casual restaurant for a second consecutive year, reinforcing the chain’s strong performance in the awards.
- Habit’s Double Char won USA TODAY’s top fast-food burger award again.
- It is the burger’s third consecutive win.
- Habit also retained best fast-casual restaurant status.
