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.

They will bind you up but go to steak and shake after get a burger and cancel it out. Steak and shake guarantee a grease belly case of indigestion 4 tums cant cut. [Reply]

How In-N-Out Burger is ranked that high is baffling. Their fries are always soggy, they don't offer mayo (I can't stand 1,000 Island dressing) and their buns are chewy.
I've eaten at In-N-Out Burger once in 17 years and it'll be another 17 years (or more) before I eat there again.
Blech.
Their fries are always soggy, but you’ve only eaten there once in17 years? [Reply]
I still see long lines at McDonald's when I drive by and Sonic seems to have a vibrant business.
The funny thing to me is that McDonald's was forced to change cooking methods and ingredients by the nanny food state. If you see non-McDonald's restaurants ingredients and methods it's the same damn thing McD's was doing 25 years ago, but they were shamed out of that world. [Reply]

I absolutely agree w/ their methods changing - and your thought about that and where they are today. T'is why it was so much better in the early nineties and prior. [Reply]

Well, they obviously get it in frozen...I dont think it was an off-day but possibly they get walleye from more than one hatchery and some are better than others. Or maybe the delicious walleye Ive caught/eaten from several MO lakes have my expectations too high... [Reply]

100% agree. I HATE In-N-Out for all the reasons you stated. Sadly, when anyone comes to visit it's on thier "must try" list so I'm forced to go. I would never choose to go thier on my own volition. "Super Duper" (Nor-Cal chain) isn't even on that list but blows them out of the water. [Reply]

I like Red Robin, Cheeburger Cheeburger, Johnny Rockets, and Fuddruckers here in Maryland. They're supposed to be opening a Shake Shack soon, but I suspect it'll be months before I go there. I anticipate they'll have huge crowds once they open, so I'll wait for the shine to wear off. [Reply]
