To double or not to double? It's not just about being hungrier. Here's how to actually choose.
Short answer
Order a double when you want more beef-to-bun ratio and, for smash burgers, more crispy crust — two thin patties give double the crust without becoming too tall. Order a single when you want a balanced bun-to-beef ratio or a lighter meal. For smash burgers, doubles are often the better build.
The double isn't just "more food" — for some burgers it's genuinely the better-balanced build.
When to double
Smash burgers — two thin patties = double the crispy crust, the best part, without an unbiteable tower.
You want a beefier ratio — more meat against the bun and cheese.
When a single's better
You want a cleaner bun-to-beef balance or a thicker single patty's juicy centre.
You're pairing it with loaded sides and don't want to overdo it.

Why are smash burgers usually doubles?
Because each patty is thin, doubling them gives more beef and twice the crispy crust — the tastiest part — while staying easy to bite.
