Yes, they systematically gut businesses from within, scrap any long term business plans, sell off valuable assets for quick profit, then spin off and short the devastated remains of the business or break it up and sell off the tens is when it starts collapsing.

PE is good at reallocating resources of business that are wasting and misallocatnv them, but they generally suck at managing businesses they know little about, and take the same loot and scoot approach with otherwise sound businesses that they take with falling ones.

Dairy Queen is superior in that you order a burger and a blizzard, but you have to eat the blizzard first, or it will melt, and then you have to take a nap, and you just forget about the burger completely. You can snack on the fries between the drive-thru and your destination.

Five Guys Cajun fries are legit. Regular ones are gross.

Seriously? I like the regular ones. They look greasy and gross but are yummy. I found the Cajun ones too spiced.


Adults who say yummy.

Whatever falloff that has happened to most of Whataburger's menu, the Breakfast Burger combo is still a damn good hangover slayer.

It's been bad for years. Even by fast food standards. On average, McDonalds and Wendy's are better.

I disagree on McDonald's, but Wendy's definitely has better burgers than Whataburger.

Like many others I have basically given up on most Whataburgers….. but several months ago I was driving thru Glen Rose Tx and realized i was really really late for lunch…… I knew that a Whataburger was under construction there and when I got to it, I noticed it was now opened so I made a drive thru order……. if was fantastic, reminded me of 30 or so yrs ago Whataburger.

Is it just me or does whataburger not fill the fries to the brim? Most of the time when I get the order, the fries are 3/4 full. Even once it was half full. Pissed me off. Haven't ordered there since then. Burgers taste changed too and used to be bigger.

I thought DQ was a drink place. Never hard their burgers. Gotta try.

They're awful. I'd put them below McDonald's. Their chicken tenders are pretty good though, especially dipped in their white gravy.

Lots were already bad before the sale and now many more are. I had a #5 a few weeks ago from the one in Lindale that was as good as the old days. I was shocked.
The one near me in McKinney is still very very good.

All I know is the one by me used to have quite possibly the fastest drive thru known to man. About a year ago I ended up sitting there for nearly 45 min, totally blocked in otherwise I would have peaced out.
Whataburger has been the slowest drive thru for years; that's not a new development. Maybe our memories have grown nostalgic. Popeye's was the only place I expected a worse wait than Whataburger.

There's a new W near me in Houston that's normally pretty fast, but I remember getting trapped and sitting nearly an hour at the one on Texas Avenue back in the day. Or back in the night, as it were.

Hat Creek Burgers are great.

Shake Shack and P Terry's as well
Agree to disagree on Hat Creek. The most blah and overpriced burger mentioned here. PTerry's, however, is the In-n-Out of Central Texas.

Culver's is the best fast food hamburger around. I love their double meat, cedar cheese, salted onions, butter bun burger. The fries are good too, and their custard just tastes better than others. I go there usually once a week. Prices are reasonable and a great value for what you get. The one in my town is always busy.

I think steak and shake is good but over priced, plus everything is ala carte.
