Whataburger expanding into the KC area

[chinaski]

Saw on Twitter. No bullshit. :clap::thumb::thumb:

[dlphg9]

I think this was already something we knew.

[MTG#10]

Mahomes effect. Expect many other new luxuries coming to the KC area over the next decade.

I think this was already something we knew.

Yes, it’s been known for a while now, but it was buried in the Mahomes thread. Never had a thread of its own.

[rabblerouser]

LET'S DO THIS.

In n Out burger?

[Megatron96]

No Whataburgers in KC before now? How is that possible? We have them everywhere in AZ.

Prepare to be disappointed

Boo this man.

[smithandrew051]

Whataburger is pretty good. Great opportunity for them. The partnership with Mahomes is pretty obvious.

In N Out is fucking trash though.

[displacedinMN]

In n Out burger?

WILL

NEVER

HAPPEN

[BigBeauford]

Wake me up when we get a Braums.

[MAHOMO 4 LIFE!]

Fuck you! There animal fries are bomb

[MTG#10]

What is it you like about Braums? Honest question, we've had many in Springfield for more than a decade and I've never had anything from there I'd consider above average for fast food. Their crinkle-cut fries are okay...I guess.

In my opinion Whataburger is the best chain burger out there...and totally agree with you about In and Out. When In and Out came here people lined up for blocks...when I finally went I was like WTF? Now we have White Castle here too and I'm hearing my friends say same about them...must be nostalgia.

[fan4ever]

**** you! There animal fries are bomb

That's a specialty item...their fries alone suck.

I liked their burgers quite a bit as a teenager. That's a tragedy is they have changed. I dont care much for crinkle cut fries from there, Culvers, or anywhere. Tastes like cafeteria food to me.

I was in St. Louis because I'm a moron, with my wife, and we tried the white castle there because I watched the Harold and Kumar go to White Castle movies and because I heard it was great.

Literally terrible, the sliders at chilis are better, I have no idea why people would like them. Maybe I just got a bad bunch, but they were basically inedible.

WHAT-a-Burger are good. :thumb:

[Bearcat]

Good fries can stand alone.

Pouring thousand island dressing on top doesn't make the actual fries any good.

[RunKC]

Make sure you get this when it opens.

[lcarus]

Prepare to be disappointed

This. It's mediocre at best fast food. But you can get it late and more options are never a bad thing I guess.

Five Guys is 5 dollars more and 10 times better.

Nostalgia definitely plays a part. Growing up we’d go down a few times a year and we’d always stop at Whataburger. It was our thing. We’d talk more about visiting Whataburger than we would about visiting grandma. Rationally, I know I oversell it in my head because I associate so much with good memories, but I don’t care, still excited.

In and Out, with which I have no connection from my youth, was incredibly disappointing when I had it for the first time and have no desire to ever have it again.

[eDave]

Basic Burger.

Had my first Shake Shack burger the other day. Way to salty. In n Out that way too.

David's Hamburgers in Scottsdale has really great burgers.

[srvy]

Five Guys and Whataburger aren’t really competitors though. One is fast food and the other is fast casual. Five Guys competes against Smashburger and Shake Shack. It’s like comparing Taco Bell to Chipotle.

[CasselGotPeedOn]

Wake me up when we get a Braums.

Yeah seriously. Braums shits all over In-n-Out, Whataburger, and what the fuck ever else.

In n Out is nothing special. It's consistently cooked well and above average and uses good ingredients but it won't blow you away and the fries are pretty worthless.

However, calling it trash is way overkill

[Rasputin]

I'm there dude


Hell yeah


I'd drive to Texas just for a Whataburger

[Simply Red]

good and they're hefty, the burger in-bag is heavy for only a sandwich.

[mr. tegu]

Count me as someone who was also disappointed in In N Out the first and only time I had it last year. Freddy’s is the best in my opinion.

[Kiimo]

Problem with In N Out is people won't shut up about it like it is mecca even though there are literally hundreds of boutique burger joints with knock your socks off good burgers all over LA

[Bugeater]

Back in the early 90s Livesteam and I hit one up in Norman, OK and thought they were pretty fucking good. But I imagine like anything else they've starting skimping over the years, but I'll give them a try again when I'm in KC.



On a side note, if you ever happen to have the misfortune to find yourself in, or passing through Omaha, find a Don and Millie's. They're a local chain that far and away has the best burgers I've ever had anywhere...whether we're talking sit down, fast food or anything in between.

[Dayze]

Is this a “omg $14 1/8 lb burger and fry” place ?

Never been.

[C3HIEF3S]

Boo this man.

I’m saying this as someone who just had to try Whata within a week of moving to Texas to see what the hype was about. You’ve got plenty of better options already in KC.

Similar to Mr. Goodcemts sammich place here locally. Back in the 90s.....awesome. Now, it’s $10 bucks for some bread and a pound of lettuce with three slices of turkey,.

Goodcents blows ass since the middle easterners bought it about a decade or ore ago.

[AustinChief]

Whataburger is a solid burger but nothing super special. However... after 11pm you can get the taquitos and those are beyond reproach. (sausage egg and cheese is the best of them)

We need a couple places from Des Moines to migrate down to KC. Specifically, Zombie Burger and Tasty Tacos.

[Bugeater]

We need a couple places from Des Moines to migrate down to KC. Specifically, Zombie Burger and Tasty Tacos.I love the DSM. Best bike trail network in the midwest, awesome riverfront, breweries and lots of great places to eat all over the metro area. I've hit up Tasty Tacos several times but still haven't been to Zombie Burger. Brickyard Burgers in Adel is solid, we stop in there almost every time we're up that way.

Subway was my first job back in the mid 90s when that much superior v-cut was still a thing. After they switched to the side slice I’d ask for the old way for a time. I eventually gave up on it as it reached the point where I had to start explaining what I was wanting.

It just is so much better at keeping all the goodies in the sandwich.

[vonBobo]

I was in St. Louis because I'm a moron, with my wife, and we tried the white castle there because I watched the Harold and Kumar go to White Castle movies and because I heard it was great.

Literally terrible, the sliders at chilis are better, I have no idea why people would like them. Maybe I just got a bad bunch, but they were basically inedible.

You need to try them when it is 2am and you are drunk and 18. It is not great food, but it does have its place.

Zombie Burger is over rated.

It’s OK I guess. Especially if you are looking for a gimmick. Head across the Street to St. Kilda’s surf and turf if you want real food.

Head across the Street to St. Kilda’s surf and turf if you want real food.I've heard mixed reviews, it's obviously gimmicky and not someplace I'd go out of my way for, but I'll try it if it fits into our plans sometime. Definitely strikes me as a place I'd go to once just for the experience but likely never return.

[lcarus]

Count me as someone who was also disappointed in In N Out the first and only time I had it last year. Freddy’s is the best in my opinion.

Freddy's is damn good. We had 2 locations near me and one of them just went out of business a couple weeks ago. Coronavirus did them in I think.

Yep. Subway is awful now. Goodcents is the way to go.

[srvy]

I dont care what anyone says when I get to work down at our Tulsa or Houston office its Whataburger every chance I get. I know the jalapeno cheese burger is gonna kill me but I cant quit it.

I like Freddy's especially the patty melt the shoestring fries are damn good too. That said if a Whataburger moved in next to my neighborhood Freddy's I'd shun old Fred big time.

[Bugeater]

Freddys is really good but way overpriced for what you get.

[suzzer99]

Whataburger would be insane not to build a bunch of stores in KC with Mahomes.

Look for the Habit to show up - best casual dining burger I've had. Well maybe except Shake Shack. They're close.

To give you an idea what kind of burger I like: Town Topic triple is the best. I miss Wylie's. Chubby's burger was amazing back in the day


Note: I've never had Whataburger.

[PunkinDrublic]

I miss Whataburger so much. They have so many burger options to choose from and the drive thru is open 24/7. For fast food, the portions are huge.

[PunkinDrublic]

I was in St. Louis because I'm a moron, with my wife, and we tried the white castle there because I watched the Harold and Kumar go to White Castle movies and because I heard it was great.

White Castle was in KC back in the day but not anymore. They are still in St. Louis because it’s an inferior city that accepts poor quality.

ROFL. Yea. That.

Wait what?! Livesteam has a friend?

[Darien25]

No Whataburgers in KC before now? How is that possible? We have them everywhere in AZ.

Only place I have ever eaten Whataburger was in Tucson. Middle son was playing ball there a few years ago and we ate at a Whataburger near campus a couple of times and it sucked big time. Maybe it was just a poorly run establishment, not sure, but I have never wanted to eat there again.

[Couch-Potato]

KC needs to decide that its big enough to stop getting excited about new fastfood chains.

I was in HS in Atchison when they got their first McDonald's. That town went nuts.

[scho63]

Red Robin - good burgers and big variety along with great steak fries, nice and crispy.

Culvers - excellent butter burger and their crinkle cut fries are fantastic and crispy as well as their shakes

Wendy's - still the best out of the Big 3 in terms of flavor and size. Their buns are the best but their fries still suck most times

Whataburger - pretty good but I find their buns too dry and big for their burgers. Fries are just OK. Decent shakes

Shake Shack - pretty good as well

Smashburger - very good and had two original the other night during my dinner break along with a Sam Adams, no fries.

Johnny Rockets - excellent burgers and shakes but sometimes they can be a little too greasy

Fuddruckers - probably some of the BEST burgers you will ever have but just never took off with poor marketing. I think people didn't like to wait 10 minutes for a burger that was supposed to be fast food. I love their burgers.

Five Guys - I would go to their original location in Alexandria and their burgers are real good but their fries are WAY overrated

In and Out- good burgers but the WORST fries of everyone. Bland sticks of nothing.

Steak n Shake - hit or miss but not bad burgers and a few more items than just burgers

Never did Freddy's but there is one in Tempe just down the block from Amazon that I will try on my dinner break one of these evenings.

Carl's, Jack in the Box, Sonic - All about the same. Good when you're drunk

White Castle - The Taco Bell of Burger's. Your ass knows why....

Burger King - One small step above McDonald's in flavor. Not much else going for it

McDonald's - The winner of the shittiest, greasiest, saltiest, smallest burger-to-bun ratio of all.

[chinaski]

In n Out is nothing special. It's consistently cooked well and above average and uses good ingredients but it won't blow you away and the fries are pretty worthless.

Agreed. It's probably over-hyped for sure. People are expecting some kind of Burger Epiphany, and they are disappointed on their first try...they are missing the point. In-N-Out is fresh and consistent, the restaurants are clean and the food is pretty solid.

If you don't go in with any ridiculous expectations, you won't be disappointed.

As a SOCAL transplant from KC, It took me awhile to "get it", now it's pretty much the only fast food I eat. If you can even consider it fast food. They are pretty slow. Oh, and I LOVE the fries. Acquired taste maybe.


Five Guys is disgusting, way too greasy. Gross.

[MTG#10]

Much like Braums, I dont get people's fascination with Freddy's either. Their burgers are decent but Culver's are a lot better imo.

I keep hearing great things about Shake Shack but we don't have any down here and when I make a trip to KC 2-3 times/year I cant get fast food when I'm close to Joe's/Q39.

With you on Fuddruckers. It’s worth the wait to get a good sized patty and load it up with onions, jalapeños and pickles at the condiment bar.

[displacedinMN]

Look at competition.

Is whataburger fast food or more?

Could it make it AFTER cv19?


Never have been to a whataburger.

BTW-we have wahlburgers here now.....meh...But do have a dedicated fryer for fries and tots. Good for my kid.

[lawrenceRaider]

I was in HS in Atchison when they got their first McDonald's. That town went nuts.

You grew up in Atchison? Good God, I'm sorry.

[burt]

Burgers are subjective. Like Bar b que. Personally, I love Freddy's but hate their fries. As a kid, I loved White Castle, but now, they give me gas. Bad gas. Last few times I ate at Steak and Shake, I got sick. All that said, If 15 likes Whataburger, I want him to have it.

[OKchiefs]

What is it you like about Braums? Honest question, we've had many in Springfield for more than a decade and I've never had anything from there I'd consider above average for fast food. Their crinkle-cut fries are okay...I guess.

I've never had Braums fast food but I'll occasionally stop by their small market for milk or ice cream, usually pretty good.

The Habit Burger is the best fast or fast casual burger I've ever had.

This is why I'll never understand why I see so many people land at LAX or in San Diego, etc; and go straight to In N Out.

In N Out burgers aren't bad (of course, just smother everything in sauce!), but unless you're down to your last $7 and/or aren't able to wait a few extra minutes for The Habit or Smashburger, etc.... there are so many better burgers and you'll get far far far better sides.

It is kind of like comparing Taco Bell with Chipotle... yet, WTF would you ever go to Taco Bell?

[redshirt32]

You can get better food from a trashcan, five guys or bust here.

[wazu]

I feel I need to go there just to try the ketchup.

[mr. tegu]

Freddys is really good but way overpriced for what you get.


Nobody gives you more fries or bag fries than Freddys!

Because Five Guys gives you a shit ton of fries.

[gblowfish]

There's a burger joint across from Arkansas Tech U in Russellville called Feltner's Whatta-Burger. it's not part of the Texas Whataburger chain. It's been voted the best burger joint in Arkansas multiple times. I used to stop there going down to Hot Springs to see my parents. They are light years better than the Texas Chain. If you're ever driving I-40 across Arkansas, stop in and get a burger, fries and a shake. It's outstanding. https://www.whatta-burger.com/

[Pablo]

White Castle was in KC back in the day but not anymore. They are still in St. Louis because it’s an inferior city that accepts poor quality.

I'm a simple man. I see somebody trashing that shithole and it's a thumbs up.

Oh and this thread has taught me that everyone hates everything and everywhere is overrated.

[Pablo]

Personal favorite of mine for fast food burgers and dessert is Culver's by a mile.

[Bugeater]

More than Five Guys?

Because Five Guys gives you a shit ton of fries.No kidding, I have never eaten all of the fries they give me. I don't think it's humanly possible.

[Bugeater]

Personal favorite of mine for fast food burgers and dessert is Culver's by a mile.They also have cheese curds.

[Raiderhater]

Culver’s has a surprisingly decent pot roast dinner, and it’s a very generous platter as well.

And as far as fast food goes, their fried shrimp dinner ain’t half bad. Blows LJS’s shrimp out of the water any way.

[chiefzilla1501]

When are they moving heinz field to Kansas city. Mahomes already owns the steelers.

[KCUnited]

We don't have many fast food places near us but we have a Checkers and a Tastee Freez (rebranded as The Freez). I've tried the Checkers once and was happy, reminded me of the glory days on Linwood and Main in KC. Really quality bun and the fries were as good as I remember them. I'll hit The Freez a few times a summer, maybe later today actually. Neither are as good as the corner hotdog stands doing char burgers here though.

I've enjoyed a green chile double from Whataburger not so long ago. Think someone here recommended it.

I don't think "eat in" places are comparing apples to apples...also price point. For drive-thru food Whataburger has the best burgers and McDonalds the best fries IMO.

I grabbed a bite or two at Whataburger way, WAAYYY back in the late 70s when I was TDY to Fort Hood on an investigation. They were OK - better than some, worse than others.

Glad to see them expanding their market though......God knows that we don't have enough burger joints here in the midwest...... ROFL

I ate at a Whataburger when I was a kid and honestly I don't remember it being anything special. It was whatever.

[scho63]

I don't think "eat in" places are comparing apples to apples...also price point. For drive-thru food Whataburger has the best burgers and McDonalds the best fries IMO.

Fair point.

I strictly looked at any chain of any size.

I didn't look at micro-chains or one off places as that would really be poor comparison.

Runza has a really good hamburger. I'm not a huge fan of their Runza's, but their burgers are the best for a fast food drive through.

[KCUnited]

Moms would hit up the Runza in Lawrence any time we were in town. As a kid, wish I would've known they had burgers.

They also have cheese curds.

Hell yes they do. I need to remember that next time I'm there.

[Megatron96]

Always been a fan of What-a-burger, probably because Me and the guys used to go there nearly every Friday night after the game; it's like comfort food at this point.

Also a big fan of Steak-n-Shake, for basically the same reason, just with my buddies from college. And I think they have great cheesy fries.

My favorite burger chain, dine-in, has always been Goldie's back in Tulsa. Only burger I ever had that didn't require a condiment. Just buns, burger, and cheese. The only other burtger joint that ever came close was Hamburger Haven, also in Tulsa, but they closed their doors while I was still in high school. Apparently they were a mob front and got busted. The burgers were pretty good, but the onion rings . . . they still are the best onion rings I've ever eaten. And huge. Some of the rings were bigger than my face.

First 2 locations will be in Blue Springs and Overland Park.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.kmbc.com/amp/article/whataburger-locations-confirmed-in-blue-springs-missouri-overland-park-kansas/34437034

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. —
We finally know where the two first Whataburger locations in Kansas City will be located.

Whataburger has two job listings on its website for general manager positions in Blue Springs and in Overland Park. The jobs were listed on the burger joint’s website for the first time on Tuesday.

The Blue Springs location is slated to be at 905 Highway 7. The Kansas City Star reports that location is a former Winstead’s that closed in 2018.

The Overland Park location will be at 8420 W. 135th Street, which used to be a location of a Salty Iguana, The Star reports.

Interested in the position?

Here’s what Whataburger lists as what it’s looking for in a general manager.

“At Whataburger, we are a team of Family Members,” Whataburger said in the job posting. “We take pride in our work. We care about each other. And we love serving our customers. As a Whataburger Family Member, you will belong to something special — a beloved brand with a proud legacy. The values and skills you gain from working at Whataburger will serve you well at every stage of your career. Be part of something bigger — join the Whataburger Family today.”

After reports that Patrick Mahomes’ favorite fast-food burger would be expanding into the Kansas City metro area, Whataburger finally confirmed in early August it will be expanding its market into Kansas and Missouri.

Mahomes made his love for Whataburger well-known when he tweeted in 2018 that he wants a location in Kansas City. He also tweeted about Whataburger after a Chicago firm bought a major stock in the business.

“I just want a store in Kansas City,” Mahomes said.

Now, less than two years later, Mahomes is going to get his wish.

While WAB often does converts existing real estate they do build their own building also. I think they are just being cautious with an area that they are not familiar with.

and In-and-Out is really good. 5 guys is very similar.

The entire experience is relatively the same, I'm not sure why you feel like it's apples and oranges.

Anything I walk up to the counter, read off my order, pay someone in a nametag and wait for my number to be called is fast food as far as I'm concerned.

You can’t really compare a place with a drive thru that has to turn meals out in a minute to a place that does way less volume and can take more time like a 5 Guys. It’s not a level playing field.

The end result is extremely similar. The quality of ingredients is extremely similar. The wait for your food is extremely similar.

Our experiences are very different then. I can go through the drive-thru in McDonalds and be gone in less time than it takes me to even order at 5 Guys. Now McDonalds sucks, no question, but you’re trading quality for convenience.

Also, I didn’t create those differences. Those are industry definitions I believe.

We went on vacation to Cali in 2018. One of the few things I was looking forward to was In-n-Out because of what everyone says about it.

I wanted to throw it on the floor and go somewhere else a few bites in.

[PurpleJesus28]

Is Whataburger going to be like Jack in the Box was,super hyped for a while,then hardly ever hear about it now.

[KCUnited]

Feel most of these debates are individual franchise location driven or timing of visit.

One of the best fast food burgers I've had was at a McD's in Oak Grove, MO that I crushed going down 70 to get to STL in a hurry. Wouldn't even consider messing with a McD's around here.

[Why Not?]

Is Whataburger going to be like Jack in the Box was,super hyped for a while,then hardly ever hear about it now.

To be fair, how often do you hear about any fast food places? They kind of all are what they are, which is nothing if not unremarkable and not worthy of much conversation/attention.

What about Wahlburgers?

[srvy]

Is Whataburger going to be like Jack in the Box was,super hyped for a while,then hardly ever hear about it now.

Whataburger is nothing like Jack in the Box. Probably closer to a Sonic Burger 40 years ago when they were good. I first had WAB working for clients on pipelines in Texass and Oklahomo when Pat Mahomes was dining on his mama's teet. I was instantly in awe it was delicious. Tasted just like Rays Big Burger that I grew up within the 60s in KC North.

Everyone has different tastes. I have traveled the country quite a lot for work had many different crew members over the years none ever had a bad word for WAB it was always a treat to us to be in their franchise area to enjoy. Now they are coming to KC and I couldn't be happier. My burger stops will be LC's and WAB. I have a Five Guys within a mile and a half but was bland ho-hum so don't give it much thought.

I will end with this thought. You hate Whataburger then you hate Patrick Mahomes who was big in them coming to KC. IF WAB fails in KC you have failed Patrick.

Thank about that you Commies :D

[HC_Chief]

Whataburger needs to bring back their Chorizo Burger and Root Beer Shakes. DAMN those are good. They'll make you fat af, and kill you quick if you eat them often. As an occasional cheat day treat however, both are fantastic.

In'N Out burger is either really good or trash, depending on which one you go to. If the lines are crazy, both drive-thru and lobby, you've found a good one. When hot & fresh, animal style burgers and fries are killer.

Next time you go West try The Habit. Good stuff!

Speaking of adult shakes, Twisted Root is decent. Eclectic menu (burgers made from different animals). Only place I've seen those is TX

I've not but I know people that ate at the I think original in Massachusetts. They say it's pretty good more of a restaurant than a burger joint. A single burger with cheese I believe was 10 bucks don't know if it came with fries and drink. Some of the OP Kansas crew at the office say there is one in a Hyvee in OP.

I caught the special Aldi sale this last summer on Whalburger bacon sausage and buffalo burger. None were anything to eww and ahh over. Bacon was on par with Oscar Mayer. The buff burger was sweet like all buff burger. I didn't like the link sausage had a weird spice to it. One thing in common it was all super expensive like twice you would pay for similar quality in Hyvee.

I only asked because I was out on Monday and had to make an emergency pitstop at the HyVee on 40Hwy in Independence and noticed they had a Walhburger's sign up along with the Starbucks one. That's an interesting partnership, guessing they can't afford to run their Hyvee Grille space so they're transitioning to retail clients.

[ThaVirus]

I tried both In-N-Out and Jack N The Box for the first time on a trip to SoCal/Vegas a few years back.

I thought In-N-Out was really good. We may have just picked a good location because it was busy and the food we received was hot.

My experience with Jack N The Box was a bit different. The one I visited was in San Diego. A homeless dude and some rando were about to fight in the dining room. The food was decent and, despite the near-brawl, the most memorable thing about the Box for me was the diversity in menu items. I feel like they had every kind of protein in the joint.

Major burger joints I've still never tried: Whataburger, Smashburger, and Red Robin.

[notorious]

Shit? What shit? Ketchup, mustard, pickle, onion, mayo?

You kiddin me?

The Wendy's I've been to overdue the sauces.

I ask for light sauce and it's about right.

[ptlyon]

Gotcha.

God dammit I want a Wendy's double right now!

[RocKhawks]

Every time i go to Texas to visit family, I always go to Whataburger at least once while I'm there. I love it. Idk, how to explain it, but its the best of BK, McDs, and Wendy's combined. Great while drunk too

Double smothered chili cheese fries are pretty tasty, especially when having a buzz. :thumb:

I like Wendy's.

I like Wendy's.

It's good. I love their spicy chicken sandwiches.

Baconator, or that steak mushroom burger they had a few years ago.

Yummy.

[srvy]

Monday's grand opening begins at 11 am so don't go for breakfast on your way to work.

[displacedinMN]

Before being forced to go gluten free...I loved both these places.

Sympathies. Daughter is. It was tough on us too. Hard to find good food and worse finding a place out to eat.

That new Bourbon burger is awesome.

Seems ridiculous to me.

They brought a White Castle to Orlando recently and had the same issue. The line was backed up for miles. My girlfriend wanted to go but I told her I'm not waiting an hour in line for some shitty burgers.

People do this everywhere. When they opened In n Out and Krispy Kreme here in Texas people were waiting 2-3 hours in line.

Get them at Sams Club. They taste the same.

Monterrey Melt gentlemen. Get that at Whataburger. It’s damn good

[dirk digler]

I have no idea but I would never do it especially on the first day of opening.

[gblowfish]

KC has buy one get one Big Macs today. The Whattaburger in Independence opens in a couple weeks. I'll hit it up after the frenzy is over.

You should see the lines in Moscow when the first McDonalds opened.

Just go to Paul's on blue ridge. Better than these chain burgers. Their onion rings are fantastic as well.

[ping2000]

We went on vacation to Cali in 2018. One of the few things I was looking forward to was In-n-Out because of what everyone says about it.



I wanted to throw it on the floor and go somewhere else a few bites in.When I lived in LA I loved Tommy burger. That was a long time ago though.

[Red Dawg]

Are you kidding with that take? PROFLROFLROFLauls? Really?

[TripleThreat]

Whataburger is pretty good. Great opportunity for them. The partnership with Mahomes is pretty obvious.

In N Out is ****ing trash though.

Highly disagree about the in N out opinion….

Is it as good as some juicy burger joint where you’re paying $15 for a burger & fries? Of cours it’s not but it’s the best fast food burger place out there IMO for the price. The quality of their ingridients helps as well when comparing it to McDonald’s

I work on the next exit west of Douglas....there was a wait for that exit half a mile long! It was truly insanity. Meanwhile, the local Aldi was no line for my salad and gluten free dressing.

And that's exactly why I've never understood the In N Out hype.... a lot of people say they land at LAX and the first thing they do is go to In N Out.

So, they're likely spending $300 minimum round trip to LA for whatever reason, plus hotel, car, etc.... and they're going to the "best cheap burger place ever"?

Freakin' splurge for that $10 burger at The Habit or any number of better burgers, and throw in fries that are most likely 100% better than In N Out's.

And I totally agree if you have $5 to your name or just want a cheap option, it's a good or even 'great' burger for the money. It's also the equivalent of getting hyped up to rent an Altima for the weekend.

NEVER go to the In and Out at LAX. We were going to...It was a 45 minute wait to order at drive up. Friday night. Spring Break.

We drove to the one by NBC Universal-that is where we were staying. I also assume that was close to Danes house.

[MarkDavis'Haircut]

Whataburger is fire.

So is A&W Restaurant.

You probably passed 20+ better burgers on the way, potentially including whatever Dane could throw together on his grill with short notice.

Wish I would have been close to a Whataburger when I was hungry on road trip 1 this summer. Some other time. Not sure what we are doing for spring break yet.

[redshirt32]

You are confusing Whataburger with In-n-Out. That place is trash that wishes it was McDonalds lowest end food.

Naw ive had in-and out a few times
If we go we go to five guys, Culvers is ok once in a while.
Sonic is trash as well as MD BK Wendys.

Five guys you never get cold fries and they over load your brown bag, never had a bad meal from them ever.

Lol, I totally agree. For the record, I prefer In-n-Out over Whataburger, and I grew up in Texas. I'll still take any local quality burger over either one, though.


Also, In-n-Outs fries are complete fucking trash. I know they make them from potatoes right in front of you...but they're still fucking trash. They've got a weird foam-like texture.

[displacedinMN]

I make some pretty damn good burgers at home too. Local grower, great butcher

[Baby Lee]

I put Wahlburgers in the same category as Shake Shack both are a bit better than Five Guys both are good not great. LCs is the GOAT burger in KC

White Castles aren't for everyone, but a nice thing about them, if you DO 'crave' them is that the ones in the freezer aisle at the supermarket do the job really well. Microwave for 60s wrapped in a paper towel and it's nice and hot and the bun is fluffy. Not 'great' but as good as you're going to get at any of their locations.

Don't think I've ever had Whataburger. Phoenix has Smashburger and The Habit, among others, which are both good.

Freddie's sucks and Culvers can get ****ed a long with Freddies.

[Deberg_1990]

Whataburger Field at the GEHA has a nice ring to it.

[BleedingRed]

So just wanted to let y’all know, it is quality shit. Much better than inandout

[BleedingRed]

PS my favorite is the Patty Melt, it’s really fucking good

[BigBeauford]

Had it a few times while living in El Paso. It was...fine? For some reason a lot of the food tasted like Sonic only a bit nicer.

I feel like I should not be able to microwave your food with no discernible difference in quality from getting it at the restaurant lol

I can't believe that franchise spawned a movie series.. Taco Bell? Yeah, I could see that. Even McDonald's was pretty awesome back in the day. Not White Castle.

[gblowfish]

Five Guys is pretty good, but they don't have a drive thru. Also, if you're going to pay $12 for a double cheese combo and have to walk in, just go to Hereford House. They'll serve you an angus beef burger with house thick fries for $14.

[Monty]

PS my favorite is the Patty Melt, it’s really fucking good

Yep, the Mushroom and Swiss is quality as well.

[Monty]

Had it a few times while living in El Paso. It was...fine? For some reason a lot of the food tasted like Sonic only a bit nicer.

Exactly. Not sure why everyone gets so worked up about it. I like all of them, but my favorite is the burger you could get at Ralph & Esters in Goodland KS. They dropped the mike on the burger discussion IMO. It's closed now, so no need to go looking for it. :(

[Gary Cooper]

I wouldn't wait in line for 3 hours for a blowjob.

This place will still be open (presumably) in a year or two. Just go then when the dust settles.

Alot of people get off on being ‘first’ or actually enjoy being in retail crowds. Like the Black Friday lines. Not my cup of tea, but lots of people love it.

"Whataburger" is the chain out of Texas that Mahomes likes. But the better burger is a mom and pop one of a kind place in Russellville, AR called "Feltner's Whatta-Burger." Note the slightly different spelling. Across the street from Arkansas Tech college (the Wonderboys), it's been voted the best burger in Arkansas many times over. Great place I used to stop at all the time on the way to Hot Springs to see my folks. And "Feltner" is my wife's maiden name, so she liked her name being on the sign! If you're ever crossing Arkansas on I-40, this is the place to get lunch. It's about halfway between Ft. Smith and Little Rock:

do we need a gay day?

@SimplyRed

[Fish]

I mean, it's a burger. Regardless of how good it is, there's only so much range of quality in a fast food burger.

[ptlyon]

It's no All American burger for sure, where the customer service is top notch

[displacedinMN]

I can get a really good burger at Guitar Center
