Double the patties can mean double the deliciousness, but not all fast-food double cheeseburgers are created equal.

For a definitive ranking, I tried practically every double cheeseburger on the market to determine which was best in terms of taste and value.

I tried double cheeseburgers from McDonald's, Wendy's, Burger King, Shake Shack, White Castle, Whataburger, P. Terry's, Five Guys, Cook Out, Checkers, Sonic, 7th Street Burger, and In-N-Out.

Here's every fast-food double cheeseburger ranked from worst to best.

The burger was under $5, but I'm not sure it was worth the price.

Right away, I tasted the thick beef patties. The burger had traveled about 15 minutes from my local Burger King to my apartment, but the meat was still juicy, and the cheese was nicely melted.

The pickle slices were thick and crunchy, and I enjoyed the sesame-seed bun, which added a satisfying textural element. However, I thought there was just a little too much ketchup, which will likely vary depending on who's making your burger that day.

It was about the same price as McDonald's and Burger King burgers, though it landed squarely in the middle in terms of value.

The toppings looked a little stingy, and they were clustered in the middle of the sandwich. I would have liked to see them more spread out.

But I had to get a few bites in to reach the toppings in the center.
