We Tried Every Costco Burger & Found The Best (And The Worst)
Who doesn’t love a juicy burger while shopping at Costco? The warehouse giant offers several burger options both in their food court and frozen section.
We embarked on a mouth-watering mission to taste-test every Costco burger available. Armed with hungry stomachs and discerning taste buds, we ranked them from absolutely delicious to downright disappointing.
1. The Food Court Classic
Holy cow! The iconic Costco food court burger delivers a no-frills flavor explosion that’ll make your wallet as happy as your taste buds. At just $4.99, it’s a bargain bonanza.
Nestled between soft sesame buns, the juicy patty comes loaded with the usual suspects: crisp lettuce, tomato, and their secret sauce that’s basically ketchup’s cooler cousin. Though not fancy, it’s reliably satisfying after a marathon shopping session.
2. Kirkland Signature Angus Beef Patties
Move over, fancy steakhouse burgers! These frozen beef pucks transform into backyard barbecue magic with minimal effort. Crafted from 100% Angus beef, they deliver that authentic chargrilled flavor without breaking a sweat.
Each thick patty sizzles with juicy goodness, unlike those sad, thin frozen discs other brands try to pass off as burgers. The generous fat-to-lean ratio means these babies stay moist even when your grilling skills are questionable.
3. Plant-Based Impossible Burger Patties
Veggie skeptics, prepare to have your minds blown! Costco’s Impossible Burger offering tastes suspiciously like actual meat. The pink-in-the-middle magic trick will leave carnivores scratching their heads in disbelief.
Whether you’re plant-curious or fully vegan, these protein-packed discs deliver that coveted umami punch without the cow.
Plus, cooking them releases that familiar meaty aroma that’ll have your neighbors peeking over the fence wondering what’s grilling.
4. Pierre Signatures Angus Cheeseburger Sandwich
Lazy lunch seekers, rejoice! These microwave-ready monsters are the ultimate desk-drawer emergency meal. Surprisingly, the bun doesn’t turn into a soggy disaster- it’s science or witchcraft, we’re not sure which.
Unwrap the plastic, nuke for two minutes, and boom – instant burger gratification!
While the cheese melts into gooey perfection, let’s be honest: the meat tastes more like a memory of beef than the real deal. Still, for convenience factor alone, they earn a solid spot in our rankings.
5. The Frozen Value Pack Disappointment
Yikes! The bargain basement option proves once again that sometimes cheaper isn’t better. These thin, flavorless hockey pucks masquerading as burgers might save your bank account but will absolutely bankrupt your taste buds.

Despite promising ‘real beef flavor,’ these sad patties deliver mostly salt and regret. Even drowning them in condiments can’t mask their cardboard-adjacent texture. Save your freezer space for literally anything else – even those forgotten ice pops from last summer would be more exciting.
