Food and Drink -- Culver's is wildly underrated. Coastal bias? - Page 14

I like Culver's a lot, eat there every 2-3 months, but I think the OP gets close to overrating it just because it's underrated.

Used to have Whataburger nearby and ate there often, but now I have to travel too far to get to it. Ate In-and-Out once, on a business trip to Phoenix a decade ago, and remember it being good.

Shake Shack is good, but pricey and pretentious.

In a similar vein, don't think I've seen it mentioned yet: Burger 21. Eaten there a couple of times, enjoyed it. Anyone else?

Been there once about 3 yrs ago - it didn't blow me away.

The Habit is legit, good chicken sandwiches too. I think there should be a difference tho because that, to me, isn't really a fast food burger. Similar to Five guys, shake shack etc. Those burgers should be judged on a different criteria.

I think it should be if it has a drive thru or not. Drive thru burger places vs. Non drive thru burger places. I've had Culvers before and it was pretty good. However, when you compare freshness, consistency, service, speed, value and overall taste the best drive thru burger place is In N Out.

Theres one in Inglewood near the new stadium theyre building and it has a drive thru.

But, I agree on Five Guys not being "fast food". More comparable to the Red Robin or the like

I just finished the Cod sandwich from Culver's. The food review gentleman had it perfect.

Mild thick cutlet - not seasoned enough. Hoagie was a potato type bread which was gummy.

The notable things were: The fish cutlet was mild, fresh and flakey. The tartar sauce was different and very good.

Would've liked to have known your thoughts if you didn't view that review

Eaten at two different ones and had the same reaction both times: Highly overrated.

Sonic tastes like shit and it's horrible for you. I was floored at how bad the nutritional info is. BK is nothing special, but at least it's real meat. McD is a heavily salted mystery meat concoction.

I think Sonic’s grease to meat ratio is about 3 to 1.

I like Chipotle, its not the greatest "Mexican" but saying its worse than Taco Bell is laughable. Taco Bell is the most disgusting shit that somehow legally passes as food in this country. At least you know what kind of meat you're getting at Chipotle.

Pretty sure Taco Bell had something similar happen long before Chipotle did.
