We have Hardee's here. We'll have to check that out sometime. My son didn't care for hamburgers for the longest time, now he'll them. He likes them plain or with bacon and cheese, that's it.
We have Red Robin and they are pretty good, but, if I'm going to have a burger I like going to Max & Ermas.
On Monday's they have a buy one get one free special on their gourmet burgers. I like their Tortilla burger. A 10 ounce burger with cheddar, pepper jack, jalapenos & tortilla strips, on a bun, with a small side of soup for dunking, plus the lettuce, tomato and onion on the side so you can fix it the way you want.
I eat the tortillas off the burger first though. We found a curious thing though with this place. All burgers have the Max which is 10 ounces or the Erma which is 6 ounces. For some reason the Erma is not anywhere near as good as the Max.
The first time my husband went he got an Erma sized burger and found it unexceptional, so we went back another time and he got the Max and he kept talking about how good it was all the way home. I have no idea why there would be such a big difference in taste, but there is. I told my cousin, whole told me about this restaurant, and she said that she has heard that from a lot of people. So, now I tell people if they go there for a burger to get the bigger sized one.
I have this complete aversion to Red Robin. I’ve gone exactly once about 4 years ago and it was a nightmare. It was like a Chuck E. Cheese! Kids were running every where, the waitstaff was rude, and we had to wait just under 65 years for a table. We were meeting friends otherwise we would have left immediately (not to mention our friends were super late and told these horrible stories about their kids potty training when they did arrive).
Two days later, my husband and I got the worst virus ever! I was as sick as I’ve ever been in my entire life. We were both out of work for a week. Neither of us could drive because we were both so dizzy. It took about 3-4 weeks before I felt 100%. We called it the Red Robin Virus.
After all that, I can’t bring myself to go back there.
