Reviewer Ranks Cheeseburgers From Culver's, Freddy's, and Sonic

A reviewer ordered a cheeseburger from Culver's, Freddy's, and Sonic to compare the three Midwest chains. 46. It arrived wrapped in waxy paper and contained one flat patty, American cheese, tomato, lettuce, sweet red onion, pickles, and the chain's signature mayonnaise. The bun was buttered and toasted, and the produce remained crisp after transport.

Sonic Drive-In Sonic's cheeseburger cost $5.96.

The patty was thick and arrived with American cheese, crinkle-cut pickles, onions, ketchup, mayonnaise, lettuce, and tomatoes. The reviewer noted that the bun became soggy from the volume of condiments.

Freddy's burger was described as acceptable but received no further detail on ingredients or price. The chain operates more than 500 locations after opening in Wichita, Kansas, in 2002. The reviewer concluded that the Culver's burger tasted the freshest and ranked it first among the three.
