I don't know about that, it really depends on the quality and size. At McDonald's in Italy you can find the simple hamburger for around 1€ and the double cheeseburger for around 2,50€, but the quality is horrendous. Instead, you can go to a proper pub, and you can get a proper burger, with a thick fresh patty and fresh ingredients, but you'll probably pay 10-15€ for that.
It's all about the quality really, and I have no idea if this US joint is better in terms of quality than other similar chains. Also Europe means very little, the prices in Italy, Greece, England, Norway and Switzerland are wildly different, sometimes 2-3 times different.
Yes, fast food is dirt cheap here, mostly because we have a LOT of food available and the supply chain is very efficient.
But I ain't eating Mickey D's because it tastes really good. I eat it because it's fast, cheap, and filling and readily available everywhere when you need it.
If you really want the best of the worst, hit up the nearest convenience store and get a burger there. (Just don't eat the sushi - ever)
