Whataburger expanding into the KC area

[chinaski]

Saw on Twitter. No bullshit.

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

I've never had it, but if its our Savior's favorite burger joint it's a luxury you pompous ass.

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

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.

However, calling it trash is way overkill

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.

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.

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

Make a trip today to Habit Burger today. It will make your day.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.
