McDonald’s Angus Deluxe Burger

If you are like me, you would most likely focus on the Dollar Menu during your visit to McDonalds. Their dollar menu is good for a quick snack. When we are traveling or having a late-night craving, we go for their Dollar Sandwiches. Their are pretty decent and keep us filled.

What if you are looking for something more than a snack from McDonalds? Like say it’s lunch time and you are really, really hungry but have no good restaurants nearby. In such scenarios, we often end up buying their Angus Deluxe Burger. Yes, this is a premium burger with flavorful ingredients. The beef patty tastes decent and the toppings are even more better. Two slices of American Cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, onions, mayo and pickles fill leave you craving for more. Yes, it is a bit pricey. We pay $3.99 for an Angus Deluxe Burger. It is definitely high in calories – 750 calories for a burger!

Those who are looking for a Meal, I suggest skipping the Angus burger since you will be loading on calories with fries and drink. If you are like us and drink water with your meal, then this burger is a good choice. It will keep you filled for a few hours!

Name – McDonald’s Angus Deluxe

Price –  $3.99

Verdict – Very Good

Five Guys Menu with Prices

I love Five Guys. They serve fresh, juicy burgers which leave me craving for more. I love all their toppings specially the grilled onions. The burgers are a bit pricey but they are enormous in size! Their “Little” burgers are as big as the regular burgers which you get at any other fast food joint. Their regular burgers are huge with double patties. You cannot beat these burgers for their price.

Here is the Menu for a Five Guys joint in Charlotte, NC. The pricing may vary according to location.

Five Guys Little Cheeseburger

Five Guys is well known for it’s yummy burgers and fries. The other day I tried the “Little Cheeseburger” and I should say I was impressed. For the toppings, I chose “All the Way” meaning mayo, lettuce, pickles, tomatoes, grilled onions, grilled msuhrooms, ketchup and mustard. The burger tasted so fresh. The patty was juicy and with the melty cheese and yummy toppings, it sure felt heavenly. The only con is the price. The burger is definitely pricey compared to other fast food joints but it sure exceeds those burgers in taste.

Name – Five Guys Little Cheesburger

Price –  $4.59

Verdict – Awesome

Score – 8.5/10
