Jacen123 1,709 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 In my part of Texas, at least, people go crazy for Whataburger. I also like it and it’s a definite step up from McDonald’s, but It’s also overhyped here. Link to post Share on other sites
Zathras 463 Posted January 19 Author Share Posted January 19 I LOVE Whataburger, though in AZ, it's sort of low-key. I'd take them over any of the others I mentioned. I like a plain old Whataburger best, but I also like the green chili double, and mushroom Swiss, too. Link to post Share on other sites
Destiny Skywalker 1,880 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 I mean, for a fast food burger, In-N-Out is good. Definitely a step up from McDonald's or Burger King. We almost always get In-N-Out for lunch when we visit family in California because its nearby and it is the only junk food my husband will eat. We have a local chain called Blazing Onion that is probably more equivalent to Red Robin but better. Since they are pretty easy to get to-go, I usually just call in my order and grab it. Five Guys is so greasy. Gross. Chick-fil-A waffle fries are good, and I think once I got a chicken salad sandwich so I am a fan. But I eat there pretty rarely, maybe 5 times in my life, even though there are a few nearby. I think we might have a Fatburger around here. I may try it thanks to you guys. EDIT: Never mind its closed. Link to post Share on other sites
Hobbes 61 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 In-and-Out opened in Denver recently and there were lines wrapped around the block, I've had it a few times and thought it was like what everyone else is saying...fine. I like Smashburger, but they can be a bit pricey. There is also a place here called Larkburger that is similar to Smashburger that is pretty good. So...super unpopular opinions here....I LOVE McDonald's. Like if I am having a bad day at work, I go to McDonalds for some comfort food. I ONLY get the Big Mac meal or Chicken Nugget meal for lunch and breakfast burritos for breakfast. I think they have the absolute best coffee not from a gas station (I love gas station coffee). Oreo McFlurry's are great. I also love Taco Bell. I have never had a bad Taco Bell experience. Taco Bell breakfast is super underrated...crunch wrap is great and they have great coffee.

Zathras 463 Posted January 20 Author Share Posted January 20 I don't often cite McDs as a favorite, but they do make a good quarter pounder, sausage and egg burro, and I like their ice coffee. I think most people who say they don't like them really mean they are everywhere and ubiquity breeds contempt. Link to post Share on other sites
Jacen123 1,709 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 We stopped at Whataburger on the way home tonight and I actually wish we had stopped at McDonald's instead. The food, itself, was fine, but chesseburgers and McDoubles are so much easier for fast eating either with a quick rest in the parking lot or eating on the go. I also wouldn't have had to wait inside for as long either, most likely. Link to post Share on other sites

And once their fries get cold they are gross. I've always preferred Wendy's for burgers and fries if I have to do fast food. But McDonald's is really good at breakfast. IMO, that's what they do best.

Zathras 463 Posted January 20 Author Share Posted January 20 Yeah, I have to be sparing on Micky Ds for the reasons you list. I rarely can have fast food, especially fried, anymore. When I do, I pay for it! Doesn't stop me sometimes, though. LOL! I'm just saying McDs is predictable. That is good for the interstate, but not your waistline! Link to post Share on other sites
Jedigoat 339 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 McDonald's breakfast is ten times better than their dinner menu. And McDonald's breakfast is better than anybody else's breakfast. Their hotcakes murder IHOP's. Their breakfast burrito, mcgriddles, all of it is great but it has to be fresh. If it's been sitting for a while, forget everything I said.

Now that you say that, if I don't have McD's for a few months, when I have it again I dislike it because of all of the salt. Yes, the fries do not age well at all. 12 hours ago, Jedigoat said: McDonald's breakfast is ten times better than their dinner menu. And McDonald's breakfast is better than anybody else's breakfast.

Oh, McDonald's has amazing biscuits and gravy but I don't know if it's still on their menu. I'll check out wendy's. A lot of the ones near me don't offer breakfast though.

Schweddy Balls Panera has a couple of new salads, of which I tried one, and it was just okay. The honey mustard dressing is good, but there's a seed mixture in the salad, and if you bite down on one of them, it's like eating a bit of gravel. Real nice experience for our customers, I'm sure.
