If it doesn't have a drive thru, it isn't fast food. And Five Guys fries are the worst fries sold in the US. And with the speed of Whataburger's drive thrus these days, they don't qualify as fast food anymore either.infinity ag said:
Fast food burgers. I had 5 Guys after about 10 years and loved it. Very expensive though, for just a burger and fries, it came up to $20. No drink. This is fast food. Thanks Biden. Take my money and give it to the Ukranians, Pakistanis and Venezuelans.

Freddy's, Culver's, A&W, Steak n Shake, Braum's all better than DQ.
They probably put ketchup on them.

This is what happens when a company passes into the hands of bean-counters and professional CEOs.
Here is how they do it. All they want to do is "maximize shareholder value" (something many on this board shout about a lot) and that always means a bad deal to the customer. The company shows higher profits because of lowered costs (due to cutting corners) even though the revenue has remained the same or reduced. Share price goes up because people look at profits that are temporarily juiced. The CEO gets a huge bonus and is lauded as a turnaround expert. He gets a sexy offer from another company and he leaves. The bad decisions eventually catch up as customers stop coming and the new CEO comes in and has to clean up the mess. Usually he fails and the company shuts down.
I don't know what the solution is, maybe there is none, but let's not pretend that these scam artists are any good.
It's always a balancing act. If you have a very loyal customer base and an established formula that works for generations, you don't change it for short term profits because it pushes the company off the cliff. Native Texans would understand. Yankees in Chicago or NYC don't.

A better burger is a better burger. Pretending to think something is superior because of where it originated is dumb.

Do you think Dairy Queen makes a better burger than Freddy's?
Burger King's charbroil burgers are some of my favorite fast-food burgers. A whopper with cheese, no ketchup... hits

Depends on where that Dairy Queen is located. I learned this the hard way here in Alabama just weeks ago at a Dairy Queen

What did they do to CFA fries?

Been awhile since I had a DQ burger. So not sure.
Can a Freddy's burger bust a belt or a hunger?
No?
Didn't think so.
I guess you missed the Texas/Whataburger connection.Bruce Almighty said:Funky Winkerbean said:Yankee burgers.BurnetAggie99 said:Funky Winkerbean said:

Freddy's is from Oklahoma.
And also superior to whataburger and DQ.

Some of the small town ones aren't bad
The one near us in Magnolia runs about as well as any Whataburger ever has.
Five Guys Cajun fries are legit. Regular ones are gross.
P Terry's burgers are great but only locations are in the Austin/Cedar Park & San Antonio area so far.
Also Short Stop makes a good drive thru burger

Agree about Culver's, A&W and S&S. Don't know the other 2.

Seriously? I like the regular ones. They look greasy and gross but are yummy. I found the Cajun ones too spiced.
Had the Jack in the Box smash burger the other day. Not bad at all.

Freddys is from Kansas
I could make 5 Guys fries by cutting a kitchen sponge lengthwise into strips and soaking it in warm soybean oil for a few minutes. Would have the same texture and taste.infinity ag said:MRB10 said:

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. Have not been back to any of them since.
A fast drive thru at Whataburger? Going back to the 70's I can't EVER remember not having a wait in the WB drive thru.
Whataburger has the worst drive thru of all fast food restaurants and it's not even close.
Meanwhile over at Chick-fil-A

Hat Creek Burgers are great.
Shake Shack and P Terry's as well

Their shakes are better than their burgers, but yeah
They're also expensive
Smashburger is my favorite fast food burger.
Yes it has gone downhill, but do we really care what some crack head in midland does with one hamberer? Little stretch
Ain't eat at a Culver's until recently and was surprised. Culver's is a solid burger. Culvers may beat out all mentioned here. If you see a Culver's try it out. Trust me on this.Quote:

There's a P Terry's in Katy now.

There is a P. Terrys every 10 miles off of 35 from Georgetown to San Antonio

Two words: Private equity. It ruins everything it touches. Whataburger is no exception.
lol, DQ is probably the worst burger chain in the state, get most of their traffic in little towns where they are the only option. I've had more than share of DQ over the years, decent food but let's be honest.Funky Winkerbean said:
