Would it be weird? A burger is just a very very well known type of sandwich with a. Few extra definitional requirements. Maybe it’s an old person Midwest thing but two of grandparents always referred to burger joints as sandwich places. The rest of my family does not.

Yeah I do feel like old people in the Midwest might call it a sandwich a little more, especially while eating or passing food or something, but would still always say burger if they were trying to pick a food to eat.

Do you want a burger or a brat? Etc.

Definitely, most people opt for specificity when it’s easy and the burger as a form of sandwich is quite possibly the most American way to be specific instead of vague.
