I'd rank local & national chains as follows:

Nations
Five Guys
In-n-Out
Wendy's
BK
White Castle
McD's

Nations is a local chain here in the east bay, one of the few that still serves thick burgers rare on request. Like the 5 guys choice of condiments but $5 is pretty pricey for a thin patty. In-n-out is probably the best value for money but again there is no option for a thick juicy burger. Though the fries rule (also good at 5 guys). Another strike against 5 guys is lack of a low price option. I often bring my kids who don't eat much and are happy with $1 McD burger. McDs would probably close down if they did not offer kids menu.
