    Underrated aspect of whataburger....they almost never mess up your order. Seems to be one of the few fast pod joints that actually gives a fuck.

    So you honestly think every person who eats at Whataburger semi-regularly thinks that it is the best fast-food burger? Is that really the angle you are taking? And that same lame argument works just as well for In-N-Out, Culver's, Fatburger, etc.

    Texans love Whataburger and it is the GOAT fast-food burger. The fact that In-N-Out's are sprouting up in Texas left and right is purely coincidental.

    Culver's isn't bad, though I'm not in love with their burgers. It's your typical Wisconsin meal where you feel like you're going to have a heart attack halfway through it.

    In-N-Out is a solid #2

    Its basically them two and no one else in the fast food department

    For those that are unaware of cheese curds, they're like mozzarella sticks with more delicious, deep fried surface area.

    I would think the majority of texans who eat whataburger semi regularly would have it at the top of their list, yes.

    The 90-minute waits were a coinky-dink too. To be honest, In-N-Out isn't even my favorite. I've become quite addicted to The Hat lately - love me a pastrami burger.

    Using JY's argument from the previous page, In-N-Out is clearly the superior chain.

    I guess, I usually don't have that problem. Then again, I stay away from McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, etc. In So Cal there's really no reason to get a burger from any of the shittier national chains.

    I've lived in Texas off-and-on for about 10 years of my life and I don't recall many people raving about Whataburger's burgers. The breakfast yes, the chicken fingers, yes.

    Not really. So a small group of white people who like college football also like Whataburger a whole lot. Not really convincing.

    If Gallup did a poll, I'd bet a months salary whataburger wins comfortably in the state. You saying you would take that bet?

    At some point, people have to take personal responsibility for choosing their friends. The fact you chose to hang out with a bunch of non-WB-loving heathens is your own fault

    There are other places in the area I need to eat at, but that burger is definitely in my top 5.

    Also, I think Dairy Queen would give Whataburger a run in the Texas market as far as favorite fast-food burgers if we are really going to argue about a poll that would never be conducted.

    I've lived here all my life and I can't remember a time when many of the people I was around didn't especially enjoy their burgers. Anecdotal evidence is fun.
