    I made a burger at home last night so 1x

    Somewhere between 0-2 times a week I’d say. Most of the time it’s from a fast food place, although restaurants on occasion. Not very often at home, maybe during the summers on the grill.

    Fries are the main side, coleslaw is more BBQ-ish to me.

    I eat a hamburger about once every other week, I always eat them with fries.

    I make my own. Average twice a month.

    I eat it with a good salad.

    I eat maybe one or two a month.

    I am an outlier.

    I have weird eating habits, it’s normal for me to just eat one big meal a day and to eat the same thing everyday for weeks/months before I switch to a new thing.

    I’ve eaten chopped cheese, which is just a chopped up hamburger everyday for the past month.

    For most people ,I would say anywhere from once a week to once a month would be the “normal” range. But I could be wrong.

    I actually had an Applebee’s burger last night lol. But every couple weeks I guess.

    I don’t eat them weekly. 

  12. ReeMayRe Avatar

    We are having them tonight (no joke). It’s always cheeseburgers in our household. I would say we have them 2-4 times a month.

    sides are usually french fries, onion rings and/or salad plus lots of pickles.

    We prefer to get fresh chopped meat and make them ourselves or Mcdonalds when craving a Big Mac or double cheeseburger, Mcdonald’s fries are the best

    Are you including breakfast and snacks or just lunch and dinner?

  14. Onefortwo Avatar

    During the winter rarely, summer every one to two weeks for me. Pretty much all at home on the grill.

  15. EvaisAchu Avatar

    0 times a week is average for my family. Maybe once to twice a month in general.

    The side kinda depends on the type of burger I am going for.

  16. Electrical-Ad1288 Avatar

    These days I’m eating (bunless) burgers for at least 6 meals a week as part of an animal based diet. It’s helping me gain energy and lose weight without feeling hungry.

    The local way to eat burgers in my area is topped with pastrami and fry sauce (ketchup, mayo, fry seasoning and pickle relish).

    I was eating them weekly but one of my kids decided she doesn’t want burgers any more so much less often now. usually I make fries with them, yes.

  20. jeffgrantMEDIA Avatar

    I eat fast food like 1-3 times a year. That food is absolute trash. In the summer I will grill once or twice a week. Usually burgers are one of those meals. The rest is chicken, steak, shrimp, clams, veggies, salmon.

  21. eodchop Avatar

    2x a week on average. On road trips 1-2x a year, probably daily.

  22. Otherwise-OhWell Avatar

    I haven’t had a burger in a couple months.

  23. mrsredfast Avatar

    Maybe 5-6 times a year. Most in the summer when we’re grilling. Would only have fast food burger as last resort when traveling by car.

    Edit to add we eat them with salad and/or baked beans and grilled ears of corn. Fast food I’d just have the burger, my husband would get fries, and I eat 3-4 of his.

  24. BlueHorse84 Avatar

    Almost never, like maybe once a year. Burgers and fries are a good combo but not good for your health, so I stay away most of the time.

    Fast food is garbage so if I’m treating myself to a burger, it will be a great one from a real restaurant.

  25. kaywild11 Avatar

    I eat a hamburger about twice a month. Almost always with fries.

  26. anneofgraygardens Avatar

    I was actually just finishing up a veggie burger for lunch when I read this. (I am a vegetarian.) But maybe once every couple weeks? I always have some frozen veggie patties on hand and do like one as a lunch now and then.

  27. g0thfrvit Avatar

    I think the last time i ate a McDonald’s hamburger was at least a month ago.

  28. Ruevein Avatar

    on average, 0-1 times per week. always with fries or if they have them tots.

    Every few months burgers can hit that dopeamine for me and then for a week i’ll have like 3-4 but all will be different (Carls jr Bacon Western Cheeseburger, In-in-out burger, Sit down burger from like Red robin, Tommy’s Chilli cheese burger.

  30. trevordbs Avatar

    There is an old school burger joint down the street from me. 80/20 ground chuck fresh daily. I want to eat there every week, but I choose once a month, sometimes twice. I love a cheese burger, seriously it’s amazing. Simple is better. Fuck Fries. Onion Rings all day.

  31. warneagle Avatar

    Maybe once a month? Probably less when it’s not outdoor grilling season.

  40. mothwhimsy Avatar

    Per week?? Less than once.

    But usually with French fries, yes. I don’t personally like coleslaw

  41. Brightside31 Avatar

    Not very often. Maybe every few months. With crispy fries and tarter sauce.

  45. FinsFan305 Avatar

    Maybe about once a week and make it myself; just because it’s easy. Usually without the bread buns. I almost never eat a burger while out because it’s so… boring.

    Once every few months, I guess. I’m not a big burger person. Every once in a while I’ll have one, but not regularly.

  51. AliceDoe03 Avatar

    I have a burger once every few months. I personally don’t know anyone who would eat them multiple times a week.

  52. geekycurvyanddorky Avatar

    Once every few months. I prefer it with fried potato (fries, streak fries, tater tots, jojos, etc) and a salad. This can vary greatly though. I once knew a narcissist that had McDonalds for every meal. He was from the Midwest, and hotdogs are more popular over there. I eat Mexican food, or Italian or Italian-American food more often than I do burgers/fast food.

  53. luckygirl54 Avatar

    A local bar has $5 American burger night. You get a really good bar burger and fries for $5 and we go every Wednesday because it’s a good deal.

  54. Taylurkin Avatar

    I’ve had like 2 burgers this entire year.

  55. sukakabara Avatar

    maybe once a month. But they are homemade burgers, not take out. I usually do a cucumber salad or micro greens salad and sometimes fries on the side.

  56. Silver_Confection869 Avatar

    May beeee once. Or at most twice a month

  57. CupBeEmpty Avatar

    Fairly rarely for me. Maybe a couple times a month or maybe less. My ex wife didn’t like red meat so the kids don’t love it.

    They do like hamburgers though.

    We literally had them on Sunday with my mom. We did a reverse sear type of prep because we couldn’t grill outside.

    I like mine pretty classic, but no tomato. Lettuce, onion, pickle, mayo, brown mustard, ketchup, cheese melted on the patty, and a nice bun.

    I rarely get them eating out and we don’t do much fast food so if I’m going to a restaurant unless they are known for their burgers I get something else.

  58. Wyzard_of_Wurdz Avatar

    I’ve had exactly one hamburger in the past 6 weeks.

    It was a big Mac and fries because I was hungry and was driving past a McDonald’s. If I could have waited until I got home to cook. It would have been months since I’ve eaten a burger.

  59. stopstopimeanit Avatar

    A few times a year.

  60. CODENAMEDERPY Avatar

    Maybe twice a month. During the summer months maybe 4 times a month.

  61. drunkenknitter Avatar

    Less than once a month, maybe a handful of times a year. I eat it with fries.

  62. RonWill79 Avatar

    Everyday. Sometimes twice a day.

  63. Numerous-Estimate443 Avatar

    I eat them maybe once every 4 months?

  64. Ill-Woodpecker1857 Avatar

    I’d say 2 or 3 times a week. Almost exclusively as lunch at work.

  65. KimBrrr1975 Avatar

    Maybe twice a month, perhaps slightly more in the summer because it’s summer and cooking on the grill is always better than cooking inside. More often at home than eating out because my husband makes the best burgers and I can’t bring myself to pay $15+ for one that isn’t better than his. We do have a local burger joint that is amazing, we go there a couple times a year, mostly in the summer to sit on their deck overlooking the lake.

    Side depends on my mood. If their fries are good, I’ll get fries. Sometimes onion rings. Sometimes salad.

  66. solitudeisdiss Avatar

    Once a week maybe

  67. Wixenstyx Avatar

    Maybe one or two a month here, too, and rarely actual beef. My husband is a vegetarian.

    When we do have it, the fare is usually picnic themed, so we’ll have coleslaw, baked beans, corn, maybe chips?

  68. Defiant_Ingenuity_55 Avatar

    Once a month at the most. Not even that often most of the time.

  69. CHICAG0AT Avatar

    Once or twice a month, likely with fries.

    I work in hamburger mine. I make just enough to buy 1 rock and roll cd every 2 weeks. Also like 1% of Americans eat hamburgers, everyone else eats cheeseburgers and will kill for the cheese

  72. AnymooseProphet Avatar

    Less than once a week. Usually just a burger but if I eat it with something else, it’s usually french fries or mozzarella cheese sticks.

  73. Joe30174 Avatar

    Probably around 3 a week

  74. Rex_Lee Avatar

    Usually zero. Maybe once every couple of months

    Not from fast food though because their burgers suck

  76. NIN10DOXD Avatar

    If I have coleslaw, it’s on the burger with chili, onions, and mustard.

  77. BlueRose2300 Avatar

    Once every few months.

    I am not fond of hamburgers at all and rarely ever crave one.

  78. SchmendricksNose Avatar

    Around 1-3 times per month, sometimes more in the summer. If I have a side it’s always fries, but since I lost about 100 lbs I rarely have the appetite for more than just the burger itself. That’s too much food for me now.

    I like coleslaw with a piece of fried chicken, though.

  79. Physical-Ad3721 Avatar

    I say I probably average 1 a week. Some months 0, some months 10. Varies widely. Love me some burgers though.

    Either a la carte, or with french fries. No other way.

  80. Gokies1010 Avatar

    Maybe once a month on average. I’d say 2-3 per month in the summer from cookouts, but in the winter time I rarely have any.

  81. fries_in_a_cup Avatar

    It’s not like a regular thing. There have been weeks where I’ve eaten McDonald’s multiple times and then there have been years where I never go to McDonald’s. Occasionally I’ll make smash burgers at home but it’s kinda tedious and messy so it’s not very often that I do that. Burgers aren’t a regular part of my diet.

    But if I’m ordering it, it’s fries or onion rings for the side. If I’m making, it’s probably potato wedges for the side.

  82. AsymptoticArrival Avatar

    One time per month. It’s a treat for my family, and not healthy. I’d rather make my own also.

  83. Fappy_as_a_Clam Avatar

    Around 4 a day.

    In the morning I have a burger with an egg on it, at lunch I have a burger with a turkey sandwich on it, at dinner I have a burger with a steak on it, and for an after dinner snack I have a burger with a bowl of cereal on it.

  84. purpledrogon94 Avatar

    Never. I don’t eat red meat 😅 it’s been 10+ years since I’ve had a hamburger. I’ve had some good veggie burgers and mock meat burgers though.

  85. ThrowawayMod1989 Avatar

    I don’t eat fast food burgers except five guys if that counts as fast food. But there is a dive bar around the corner from my place that serves damn good flat top burgers for damn good prices ($6 double). I eat there once or twice a week. Occasionally I’ll grill burgers but honestly I prefer grilled chicken if I’m making 🤷‍♂️

  86. Rezboy209 Avatar

    I haven’t eaten a hamburger in over a year probably

  87. CleverGirlRawr Avatar

    Once a month I guess. Maybe a little more in summer when we are grilling. I do eat other forms of beef a few more times a month. 

  88. Stunning-Track8454 Avatar

    It’s probably not as much as you’d think. It’s like once or twice per month if that. Growing up, every few weeks, we’d grill hamburgers on like a Saturday or something.

    For one thing, when you say Hamburger like that without any article, you are implying we are just eating a mass of ground meat. The food item you seem to want to refer to is called “A hamburger” (a patty of ground meat between the halves of a circular bun, with various condiments, sauces, cheeses, or vegetables added.)

    I never eat hamburgers (that is, such a sandwich with no cheese on it) . I eat a green chile cheeseburger about once every 2 months. In addition to the green chile and the cheese, heaven is adding a little bit of crisp bacon, a slice of ripe tomato, and some chopped onion. Mayo on the bun, or maybe a little bit of spicy barbecue sauce. Many people would also add a leaf or two of lettuce, but I do not.

    Your list of side dishes is lamentably short. If I have a side, I prefer an order of onion rings (deep fried breaded onions) with ketchup to dip them in, or grilled onions.

  94. slpybeartx Avatar

    Once, maybe twice a month. Not super common, and the Fast Food versions you mention are even less common.

    Fries are common, tater tots or onion rings as well, but lately it is either sweet potato fries or a salad.

  95. Greedy-Stage-120 Avatar

    How many times per week is this question asked…😂I eat approximately one hamburger with fries.

  96. GotWheaten Avatar

    3 times a month

  97. jeffreyaccount Avatar

    Once a month here, and unless fries are fried or in an air fryer—they arent that great.

    If I make burgers at home, I dont even consider fries. To me that’s a takeout/eat out thing.

    The real American distinction I think is grilling. That flavor does a lot, and as far as fast food—Burger King capitalizes on that.

    I have a gas grill and it’s very convenient, and will grill 5-6 maybe at at time.

    But monthly, if that.

    I think it was 3-4 years ago, I’d tried 2 mini Whoppers or something similarly titled for $5.

    The bun was soft, brioche-like, burgers steaming hot and flavorful, the right amount of mayo and fresh butter lettuce, red tomato and the right slice of onion and pickles.

    It was even wrapped with a little dome over the top in paper to prevent smushing. They were amazing.

    It was right by my physical therapy place, about 25 miles from home. That week and a few that followed, I went to BK maybe a dozen times (and PT too to justify the drive.) I rarely get that excited, but those were fantastic. And they are somewhat similar at other BKs but that place was dead on.

    I’d eat them weekly if I could.

  98. Last_Question_7359 Avatar

    Think it’s somewhat regional. When I lived on the east coast, way more pizza, hoagies, and deli sandwiches were available. When I lived in the PNW, lots of casual Asian. Now in Utah? Burger joints are everywhere so I eat more.

  99. t_bone_stake Avatar

    Probably once or twice a month when the weather is pleasant (second half of May through beginning of September where I live) down to one at best every so often during late autumn through early spring. Fries are usually the default side though a green salad is usually included.

  100. SaintsFanPA Avatar

    I’m obsessed with burgers and eat one (or more) at least twice a week, I’d say. I suspect I am an outlier, though and the vast majority of people eat way fewer than me.

    What is a Royal TS? Can you describe what that means to you?

  104. angryjohn Avatar

    It depends on little on how you define hamburger. Does a veggie burger count? A salmon burger?
    I probably average about once a month if it’s a traditional burger, with fries at a restaurant. If it’s more loose, like a veggie burger or a salmon burger, maybe once a week or so.

  105. PrimaryHighlight5617 Avatar

    As a kid, a couple nights a week. My dad would serve the patty on a chibata roll with aoli, lettuce, onion, tomato. We would have a side salad. 

  106. animaldude55 Avatar

    Very rarely. Probably once every few months

  107. Jumpy-Cranberry-1633 Avatar

    In winter? Maybe once a month because I hate making them inside- they don’t taste as good to me. In summer we grill out a lot and so it’s maybe once a week… but again it’s homemade not fast food.

  113. tmrika Avatar

    Uhhh probably around once a month on average? I like them, just there’s usually other things I’d rather go for, whether we’re talking about making them at home or going out to eat.

    Definitely with fries, although lately I haven’t been bothering with fries as I’m going through the whole weight loss things, and fries are too high-calorie to be worth it.

  114. Jen_the_Green Avatar

    My husband eats probably one per week. I don’t eat beef, but I’ll have a veggie burger about once a month.

  117. HayTX Avatar

    Once or twice a week or more. Sometimes with fries sometimes with chips either potato or tortilla and hot sauce. It is quick and easy on the grill. We butcher a steer every year so we have a freezer full of hamburgers ready to go. Usually have a packet defrosting in the fridge.

  118. Unpopularwaffle Avatar

    Depends on the American. For me, 0-2 a week, depending on the week. I’d say about 3 a month.

  119. WestBrink Avatar

    Once or twice a month. Usually with fries. I like coleslaw as a side to other sandwiches. Just feels wrong with a burger though…

  120. HazelEBaumgartner Avatar

    I almost never go to McDonalds. Occasionally if I’m out and about working and just need something fast and cheap I’ll grab a value menu burger, but even then I usually prefer Wendy’s.

    However, I have several local good burger places and I eat at one of them about once a month. It was more often when I had more money, I’d usually go out to eat every payday or even every Friday. But considering the state of the American economy at the moment that was a bygone era.
