I don’t eat burgers often, but I tend to go big when I have a craving. Luckily, many restaurants serve huge hunks of ground beef instead of paltry little patties with barely any protein. Where can you get the best, biggest burgers in the country? Here are 6 restaurant chains with the best half-pound burgers.
Cheddars
Cheddar’s
At Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen, all the burgers are considered “Half-Pound Burgers.” Our top pick? The Bacon Cheeseburger, grilled medium-well. It is a half-pound burger served with four slices of crispy bacon, cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles and onions.
Bonefish Grill

The Half-Pound BFG Burger features cheddar, pickles, onions, lettuce, and tomato on a toasted bun smothered with special sauce. You can also add bacon. “The best ever burger is at Bonefish!” commented a fan on Facebook. “Bonefish has one of the BEST burgers,” agreed another.
Fatburger

Over at Fatburger, there are lots of ways to go big or go home. The Large (Kingburger) is a half-pound patty. “The burger that made us famous. A big fat patty of ½ lb. 100% pure lean beef, fresh ground and grilled to perfection. Served on a toasted sponge-dough bun,” the chain writes. If that isn’t big enough, get the XXL (Double Kingburger), an entire pound of meat, or the XXXL (Triple Kingburger), 1.5 pounds.
Fuddruckers
Fuddruckers
Fuddruckers serves up custom-built burgers in ⅓, ½, and ⅔-lb patties of 100 percent fresh beef. “Our burgers are made from fresh, never frozen, 100% all-American premium cut beef with no fillers or additives,” they write. You can customize your burger at its legendary toppings bar, which has so many options, including lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, onions, and more.
B-Bops
