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.

I'm not familiar with Taco Cabana but there are more than a dozen "real" Mexican joints within a mile of my home that are completely awesome and in many ways, unique (especially the fish tacos). [Reply]

I generally get lunch in a food court across the street. There are several fast food places there, including a Burger King, Arby's, Panda and KFC. Taco Bell probably has the worst location (all the way in the back, partially obscured by an elevator bank), yet they're always the busiest.
Are there any Del Taco locations in Chicago? It's similar to Taco Bell but different. Their breakfast burritos and burritos are really good for fast food/drive thru. [Reply]

Sonic tastes like shit and it's horrible for you. I was floored at how bad the nutritional info is. BK is nothing special, but at least it's real meat. McD is a heavily salted mystery meat concoction. [Reply]

I think Sonic’s grease to meat ratio is about 3 to 1. [Reply]
I like Chipotle, its not the greatest "Mexican" but saying its worse than Taco Bell is laughable. Taco Bell is the most disgusting shit that somehow legally passes as food in this country. At least you know what kind of meat you're getting at Chipotle. [Reply]

I think it should be if it has a drive thru or not. Drive thru burger places vs. Non drive thru burger places. I've had Culvers before and it was pretty good. However, when you compare freshness, consistency, service, speed, value and overall taste the best drive thru burger place is In N Out.
Theres one in Inglewood near the new stadium theyre building and it has a drive thru.
But, I agree on Five Guys not being "fast food". More comparable to the Red Robin or the like [Reply]
