Nighthawk Posted December 8, 2004 Report Posted December 8, 2004 I think it's narrower than that. I lived in Florida for years and I never saw one.
Giuseppe Zangara Posted December 8, 2004 Report Posted December 8, 2004 Jacksonville didn't have a Whataburger until about eight months ago; now there's three of them.
Kahran Ramsus Posted December 8, 2004 Report Posted December 8, 2004 The Works in Westboro rules ALL burger joints. I like Zak's better as far as Ottawa is concerned.
The Czech Republic Posted December 8, 2004 Report Posted December 8, 2004 I thought Whataburger was strictly Texas and In-n-Out was strictly California. Culver's is Wisconsin and Illinois as far as I know.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted December 8, 2004 Report Posted December 8, 2004 I have seen Whataburger but never eaten at one.
Golgo 13 Posted December 8, 2004 Report Posted December 8, 2004 Speaking of regional chains, Good Times is some great stuff. But apparently it hasn't yet exited the state, except for one lonely store in Idaho. Of the major chains, Carl's Jr. is my choice, followed by Sonic, Wendy's, then the rest.
MARTYEWR Posted December 8, 2004 Report Posted December 8, 2004 My pick: Roethlis. My serious pick: I've always been partial to Wendy's Big Bacon Classic.
Cartman Posted December 8, 2004 Report Posted December 8, 2004 I had Jack in the Box and In N Out when I visited Cali back in 1999, much better than any back here in RI with exception to this little place called Stanley's near my house. Amazing burgers. Also there's this place in Walpole, MA near where I work called Clydes. They have a 2LB Chili Cheeseburger. Costs like 27 bucks, but if you eat it, and the fries, within 30 minutes you get it for free.
The Czech Republic Posted December 8, 2004 Report Posted December 8, 2004 I WANT A WAFFLE HOUSE IN THE SUBURBS
Nighthawk Posted December 8, 2004 Report Posted December 8, 2004 Wait, so Whataburger is some kind of equivalent to In N Out? I know what the deal is there... pretty good, but pretty overrated. There's literally lines around the block to In N Out around here. It's just a hamburger, people, damn. You know, to me, and most everyone else I know, Jack In the Box is absolute dog food. We eat there anyway, but there would be no way it'd be getting mentioned in a thread like this. They have curly fries, which is good, and you can choose regular or curly fries or onion rings with your value meal, which is good. They were also the first chain to do sourdough burgers, which I give them credit for as well.
The Ill One Posted December 8, 2004 Report Posted December 8, 2004 We have Culvers in Iowa. I wasn't impressed. Oh and I went with McDonalds.
Slayer Posted December 8, 2004 Report Posted December 8, 2004 Culver's is Wisconsin and Illinois as far as I know. Minnesota too I went there a couple times. Good shakes, don't remember much about the burgers though.
Damaramu Posted December 8, 2004 Report Posted December 8, 2004 I like Jack in the Box. We don't have any in Oklahoma so I go to it when I go to Texas. It reminds me of Hardee's which there are none of. Though there are rumors that there is a Hardee's in Tulsa....hmmm.....
Golgo 13 Posted December 9, 2004 Report Posted December 9, 2004 It's probably worth mentioning that Fatburger has made its way here, although I've never gone to it since it's too far out. Anyone ever been?
Guest Vitamin X Posted December 9, 2004 Report Posted December 9, 2004 And it doesn't even include all of Florida, just the redneck panhandle. I'm not sure how far south Ft. Walton Beach is, but I assume it's not far from the panhandle. I ate at a Whattaburger when I was driving on the way here, over in El Paso, TX. Awesome burger indeed, but Carl's Jr. (My favorite is the Double Western Bacon Cheeseburger or Western Bacon Chicken with crisscut fries and a side of ranch) is still the best.
Guest Vitamin X Posted December 9, 2004 Report Posted December 9, 2004 It's probably worth mentioning that Fatburger has made its way here, although I've never gone to it since it's too far out. Anyone ever been? Yeah, I used to work at one (very briefly) in California. Great stuff, although a bit pricey. Kinda like Fuddrucker's.
Prophet of Mike Zagurski Posted December 9, 2004 Report Posted December 9, 2004 In-n-Out was strictly California. There are some in other states. I love their Double-Doubles. They are my pick.
alfdogg Posted December 9, 2004 Report Posted December 9, 2004 Off the poll, it's Hardees, followed by Wendy's. I don't recall seeing a Jack in the Box around these parts. We do have a Sonic somewhere, but I've never been to it.
Shooting Star Posted December 9, 2004 Report Posted December 9, 2004 Rey del pollo even though you don't have it in the states.
Special K Posted December 9, 2004 Report Posted December 9, 2004 The King of Chicken serves burgers? That doesn't sound right.
Nighthawk Posted December 9, 2004 Report Posted December 9, 2004 We have El Pollo Loco. They don't serve burgers, though.
PsychoDriver Posted December 9, 2004 Report Posted December 9, 2004 Either Carl's Jr or In-n-out. Excellent....
Guest Vitamin X Posted December 9, 2004 Report Posted December 9, 2004 And we have El Pollo Tropical in Miami. They also don't serve burgers. For some reason, I'd have a feeling that there'd be a Rey del Pollo somewhere around here, considering this is the only city that has chains of stores originating in Cuba, and I believe some other Latin American restaurants have franchises out here as well.
Shooting Star Posted December 10, 2004 Report Posted December 10, 2004 The King of Chicken serves burgers? That doesn't sound right. Well they have chicken burgers.
Internet Warfare Posted December 10, 2004 Report Posted December 10, 2004 Hardees/ Carls Jr. has the best burgers. far more filling than the McDonalds and BK burgers.
Bruiser Chong Posted December 12, 2004 Report Posted December 12, 2004 Culver's is too expensive for what you get. The food's good, but the prices keep me from going there too often. They have like 40 teens working there at any given time, too. It's ridiculous, especially since it doesn't do great business. From the list, I'd go with Burger King, but that may just be because I rarely get to eat there since it's always Wendy's or McDonald's with my friends or family. Despite living in a fairly big city, the pickings are real slim here in the way of fast food, which is why I'm looking into just *gasp* cooking at home more since I'm absolutely sick of most of the options here.
Guest Failed Mascot Posted December 12, 2004 Report Posted December 12, 2004 Looks like Whataburger is a southern thing! Kinda like Krispy Kreme donuts up until last year. Now the New England based Grocery chain Shaws sells them in boxes of 6 and there's one shop in Conn. Before that it was Dunkin' Donuts or Honey Dew Donuts up in the North East. My choice has to go to the Burger King Bacon Double Cheeseburger. Coming in at a close second is the Big Mac. Those are the only two fast food burgers that don't end up feeling like a rock in my stomach about 30min after I finish eating.
Guest Coffey Posted December 13, 2004 Report Posted December 13, 2004 Don't know if I could pick a best. Wendy's "Single," McDonald's "Big Mac," & Burger King's "Whopper" are all good. Of course, I haven't had any of the three is about four or five months now..... Actually, last time that I had Hardee's that was really good too. I don't remember which sandwich it was. It had bacon on it. "Monster Burger" maybe? I hate Jack in the Box. Just like White Castle to me. Ass.
