Too small for you?

Have had all except Smashburger (on my to-do list since they have a location nearby), Whataburger, and In-N-Out. Carls Jr=Hardees. Find 5 Guys way overrated in that survey.

I've never had about half of those, and several more I've only tried once or twice. I'd probably rate Culver's highest of the ones I've tried, which jibes with the list (I've never tried In-N-Out or Five Guys).

Huh.

I didn't know they did a survey.

In n Out is guh-reat.

world's shittiest fries though.

I think 5 Guys fries are the worst. Soggy as shit.

You're not missing anything. Way overpriced.

Love Whataburger. Culver's sucks.

Been driving by a Smashburger 3-4 times a week for years and never stopped there. I have to check it out one of these days just to say I tried it.

Thanks for the warning.

Sucks? Really? Would you rate it higher or lower than Wendy's?

Honestly I'd take Wendy's. Culver's seems like a very dry burger to me.

I know Halo burger isn't a national chain but damn they good.

Culver's is really good, IMO. Steak-n-Shake too

5 Guys Fries > Culver’s Fries

Not even close.

Anyone who says otherwise is wrong.

5 Guys fries are soggy, greasy shit in a paper bag. Maybe you're into that.

I'm not wrong and your head is up your ass, as usual.

Wrong again.

Never had Culver's fries but 5 Guys fries are far and away my favorite.

This part of the article is bothering me. Look, say what you want about the slop that McDonald’s plops down into a box and gives to you as food, but they get that slop to you quickly. Much more quickly than most of the restaurants ahead of them.

Smashburger was founded by a Spartan.

Therefore, Kingston is blue.





(Disclaimer: I've only had Smashburger once and don't really remember it)

I had In & Out in Hollywood. Thought it was pretty good but I’ve had better. Outside of that I avoid fast food like the plague.

Agreed. And I really can't believe Burger King is rated faster than McDonalds. Maybe it's just my local Burger King, but it is by far the slowest of the fast food places around me.

There has to be some sort of qualifiers for this speed of service metric. Red Robin, while fucking horrible, is a regular restaurant. There is no way they get your food out to you quicker than McDonald's.

Internet trickeration polling.

the drive-thrus in McDonald's have been horrible the last couple of years and I don't know why. Also they may be taking into consideration if your order get screwed up the amount of time it takes for you to go back and get your order corrected.

In fact, the whole poll is stupid.

Healthy options, atmosphere, curb appeal....

I'm overweight and I've only had 7 on that list. Can't remember Five guys as outstanding, ate there twice, I think it was good enough where I'd put it on the top of my list of the 7 I've been to. I'd rather grill my own at home. If I'm going to a restaurant to buy a burger, well, that's a wasted restaurant trip imo. Maybe a fancy hangover burger, with avocado and egg on it. But give me a dags burger those fries and a cold beer. I'm good.

I got a fast food idea Salads To Go. Fresh organic lettuce, organic carrots, delicious green peppers, crunchy celery, walnuts or shaved almonds, croutons with herbs and world class vinegarettes. Add on a good protein like rotisserie chicken or maybe some bacon.have a dressing of the month just to keep them coming back. I think this would blow up!

Do they have a drive through? Btw I had a kale quinoa salad last time I was in Brooklyn. It was to die for!

Burger King is going nationwide with the Impossible Whopper next week. That's going to be pretty much an all vegetable/grains burger. It's gotta be healthy, right?
