There's a burger joint across from Arkansas Tech U in Russellville called Feltner's Whatta-Burger. it's not part of the Texas Whataburger chain. It's been voted the best burger joint in Arkansas multiple times. I used to stop there going down to Hot Springs to see my parents. They are light years better than the Texas Chain. If you're ever driving I-40 across Arkansas, stop in and get a burger, fries and a shake. It's outstanding. https://www.whatta-burger.com/ [Reply]

I'm a simple man. I see somebody trashing that shithole and it's a thumbs up.
Oh and this thread has taught me that everyone hates everything and everywhere is overrated. [Reply]
We don't have many fast food places near us but we have a Checkers and a Tastee Freez (rebranded as The Freez). I've tried the Checkers once and was happy, reminded me of the glory days on Linwood and Main in KC. Really quality bun and the fries were as good as I remember them. I'll hit The Freez a few times a summer, maybe later today actually. Neither are as good as the corner hotdog stands doing char burgers here though.
I've enjoyed a green chile double from Whataburger not so long ago. Think someone here recommended it. [Reply]

Culvers - excellent butter burger and their crinkle cut fries are fantastic and crispy as well as their shakes
Wendy's - still the best out of the Big 3 in terms of flavor and size. Their buns are the best but their fries still suck most times
Whataburger - pretty good but I find their buns too dry and big for their burgers. Fries are just OK. Decent shakes
Shake Shake - pretty good as well
Smashburger - very good and had two original the other night during my dinner break along with a Sam Adams, no fries.
Johnny Rockets - excellent burgers and shakes but sometimes they can be a little too greasy
Fuddruckers - probably some of the BEST burgers you will ever have but just never took off with poor marketing. I think people didn't like to wait 10 minutes for a burger that was supposed to be fast food. I love their burgers.
Five Guys - I would go to their original location in Alexandria and their burgers are real good but their fries are WAY overrated
In and Out- good burgers but the WORST fries of everyone. Bland sticks of nothing.
Steak n Shake - hit or miss but not bad burgers and a few more items than just burgers
Never did Freddy's but there is one in Tempe just down the block from Amazon that I will try on my dinner break one of these evenings.
Carl's, Jack in the Box, Sonic - All about the same. Good when you're drunk
White Castle - The Taco Bell of Burger's. Your ass knows why....
Burger King - One small step above McDonald's in flavor. Not much else going for it
McDonald's - The winner of the shittiest, greasiest, saltiest, smallest burger-to-bun ratio of all.
I don't think "eat in" places are comparing apples to apples...also price point. For drive-thru food Whataburger has the best burgers and McDonalds the best fries IMO. [Reply]
I grabbed a bite or two at Whataburger way, WAAYYY back in the late 70s when I was TDY to Fort Hood on an investigation. They were OK - better than some, worse than others.
Glad to see them expanding their market though......God knows that we don't have enough burger joints here in the midwest...... :-) [Reply]
