I've heard others say that since a Chicago firm took over operations, Whataburger has declined. I only eat there once or twice a year, and I haven't noticed.

I think I've only eaten an In-and Out once in my life. So I'm not able to comment.

What say you?

We had Whataburger several times in 2018 when we first moved to Central Texas. We agree that they aren't as good now.

I disagree with In-N-Out being on the list. It's a fine burger for what it is. But I do agree about their fries being unappetizing when ordered normally. Getting them cooked extra-crispy (aka, "Well-Done") helps a lot.

We have access to In and Out and generally like it. Haven’t tried Whataburger yet but want to. What I miss is Culver’s. Wish they would make their way over here.

At the end of the day doesn’t it boil down to the individual location?

I know people where I am are waiting with baited breath for a new whataburger that’s about to open in my area.

Also, it’s been my observation that corporate fast food locations seem to almost always be superior in food quality and service to the franchise owned ones.

I stopped at “San Antonio”.

I don’t go to cities that hold the Constitution in contempt.

As a frequently travelling Californian, I’ve had plenty of In-N-Out at home and Whataburger on the road. Both are good.

In-N-Out is consistent no matter the location, but Whataburger is hit or miss. You either love or hate the fries at In-N-Out. I’m one of the few that love them, but I also love black licorice. Whataburger’s fries are meh, but are great to pair up with their spicy ketchup.

Yes, nothing beats a homemade burger or from a mom-and-pop drive-in, but with all the other fast food joints out there, neither belong in anyone’s bottom five list.

I’ve had to visit Huntsville AL several times recently (and will again soon), eating at Whataburger is on my list.

Standard operating procedure for hack writers. Say something controversial, even borderline idiotic, and write a long article about it. This encourages a lot of angry communiqués to the editor, editor is supposed to conclude that his writer has a lot of people reading. Mark Twain covered this in how I edited a small town agricultural newspaper or some such title.

[webheart]

In and Out is way overrated. The best thing is the fact that they use meat. Their catsup is decent. The bread has no flavor, the sauce is bland, the onions are too mild. I support diversity in potatoes so we don’t get another Irish potato famine but kennebeck fries just aren’t that good. They have great lemonade. They are fast and efficient and courteous so much that even liberals like to eat there. But the burgers are no better than McDonalds.

Never had any of the above. The kids like whataburger for chicken. Not bad after removing multilayers of fried crap. The sodas are of the type of food/beverage that contributes to SA being top of the obesity awards. As Fran the Nanny said about a NY chain back inthe day, they should come with a lifeguard

I’ve had Freddy’s and 5 guys

Inedible

Chilis is good

Don't like Whataburger, plus they are overpriced and they charge 55¢ for a slice of cheese.

I do like In-N-Out Burger, one of my favorites. Where I live,
a Cheeseburger is $3.50 and the Double-Double Burger is $4.90.

Next would be Culver's. I do like their Culvers Deluxe Double, more of a smash burger. However, also pricey at
$7.39.

My best burger is the one I make at home on the Weber using
Angus beef. It's a fat burger with a special seasoning that
includes a little brown sugar. I butter and toast the buns
on the grill too.

As fast food burgers go, both are usually okay. Seems like Whataburger tends to use more onion & mustard than most though.

[KierkegaardMAN]

Culver’s superior to both. In the Midwest Runza burgers are good for fast food. Nothing beats getting fresh ground beef and pan frying at home.

[ViLaLuz]

Waterburger for everyone!!

[OKSooner]

The change was noticeable, overnight.

Soulless, corporate fast food that barely competes with the gay clown’s outfit.

Total worst, though, goes to the new spicy chicken sandwich at Wendy’s. Best product in fast food, and frankly it just went to hsit at about the same time that Wendy’s began their new robotic places.

Once would now eat at Chipotle before either of them now, and that’s saying something.

Sutter , GFY. I’ve been a regular customer of Whataburger since arriving in Texas July 8, 1976. Not once have they ever screwed up my order, and their customer service is great. If I’m in San Antonio, my first choice is Mi Tierra.

[Luke21]

I used to love Whataburger in Tucson 10-15 years ago. Went to Phoenix and ordered one a couple of years back and it was nothing great.

[nesnah]

This is where you get the best burger. Raleigh, NC

[Hoosier-Daddy]

I love a good mustard burger with jalapeños.

[Reno89519]

In-and-Out has great burgers. And I appreciate that they are among the few establishments that seem to hire high school and college age kids instead of cheap illegal labor.

I don't care for their fries. Yes, fresh, but too thin for my liking. More like shoestring potato fries.
