This is a hard one for me. I am a burger snob, so when polls come out that claim to have found the "best" burger, I often wonder if they have even been here or tried our local favorites.

How do the "experts" come up with the "winners" for each state? Well, for CashNetUsa,

We identified the best-known fast-food chains for burgers, pizza, doughnuts, chicken and Mexican food. Then we located the branches of these in every state and the 50 most populous cities and analyzed the ratings they have on Google Maps. We created a weighted averaging system to calculate the top-and bottom-rated fast-food chains in each region. — CashNetUsa

Now that we know how they came up with their list, their choices make a little more sense;  we have some outstanding burger spots here in Bozeman, BUT they are not "chain" restaurants.

What is Montana's favorite chain burger joint, according to the experts?

If you guessed 5 Guys, YOU ARE RIGHT. Made to order just how you like it, with the toppings of your choice, and the sauce you absolutely must have on top. THEN you get those fresh-cut, perfectly deep-fried french fries poured into your bag to top off the Best Burger In Montana.

I'm getting hungry just thinking about a mushroom and swiss from 5 Guys right now. So what do you think, Montana? Is 5 Guys your favorite chain restaurant for burgers? If the answer is YES, then you and the rest of the state have something in common.
