Can we discuss this? Culver's has perhaps the best fast food burger in the country, but I never hear it get the hype that other semi-regional chains like In-n-Out (west coast) and Shake Shack (east coast) do. They also have excellent onion rings, amazing cheese curds, proprietary root beer, and of course the frozen custard.
Look, In-n-Out burgers are great. Shake Shack burgers are fine, too. But ButterBurgers blow 'em both out of the water, if you ask me. Tastes fresh and feels good. I think this is another instance of the freaking lamestream media on the left coast and freaking big city fat cats in "Poo York Shitty" not giving a hardworking midwestern brand its due.
Please share your thoughts and any Culver's experiences you've had.

That's good to know if I ever come across a Culver's in my travels. Do you know if their fries are safe, too? Five guys and Red Robin are my go-tos when it comes to burgers because they do GF right. [Reply]
Also, definitely not to be confused with Calvert's in KC. Seriously one of the most permanent commercial jingles etched into my head. I hear it immediately whenever I see mention of Culver's for some reason.
"Calvert's we're going to WOW you. Calvert's express auto service and tire
We're fixing it fast, we're fixing it riiiight"
A bunch of Winstead's in the KC area have closed over the past year or two. The burgers are good, but they're pretty small for what you pay for them. It just never seems to be a very good value for what you get. [Reply]

I love Culver's, but there aren't very many in Houston. There is one in Kingwood that I like to eat at when I visit my kids. It's the only place I can get anything that resembles a tenderloin sandwich.
EDIT: I usually only get tenderloins, onion rings, and cheese curds there, sometimes a burger. Their burgers aren't bad, but they don't compare to Whataburger :-) [Reply]

Most places do fries in their own fryer. But it does not hurt to ask [Reply]
I personally have a huge problem with a lot of places that are compared to one another as fast food. 5 Guys is not a fast food restaurant. Neither is Shake Shack. If your establishment doesnt ordinarily have a drive-thru, it is NOT fast food.
I have In & Out and Culver's right at the top of the list for fast food burgers. [Reply]
