For those here who love Hamburgers-I was just curios to see what Fast-food and mom-n-pop eateries you have available in your areas as well as which one was your favorite to get burgers and fries from.
Available here include:
Whataburger
McDonalds
Burger King
Sonic
Checkers
Jack-n-the-Box
Stars
Fast Eddies.
Dairy Queen
Dairy King (no relation)
My favorite fast food burger joint is Burger King-I love their Bacon Cheeseburgers. I can't have burgers yet for at least 3 more months but I am going to celebrate my 1 yr absense from being able to eat them by getting one from Burger King.
My all-time most favorite "sit-down" place to get them at is from Wal-Bangers in Corpus Christi.
I am interested in hearing from others on this-please.
Speaking of food, what's your favorite Burger joint?

Here in my part of the Detroit area, we have:
Burger King
McDonalds
Wendys
Checkers
Sonic( they just came into Michigan last year)
Dairy Queen
Dalys
Haven't had a Dairy Queen burger in years. Thought they were always pretty good. I mostly have either McD's or Wendys when it comes to fast food burgers. Used to love Burger King Whoppers but, compared to the rest, they are so full of fat I don't eat them very often. I love Wendys Baconator. Two patties, cheese, two layers of bacon and the usual burger fixins. I'd love to try Sonic but, haven't made it there yet. Also like Checkers burgers, especially the Big Buford. We use to have Hardees in the Detroit area but, someone bought them out and changed them into either Wendys or Tim Hortons. I'd like to see Hardees return or Carls Jr.'s which is the same thing come here. Also heard that In n' Out burgers were very good.
Ringo, if you don't mind me asking, why can't you have burgers yet? Something health wise or what. Myself, I'm supposed to limit myself on my beef intake. I lost a kidney to cancer 9 yrs ago, and was told to ease off the beef because of the protein and that a single kidney might have trouble processing protein through and too much of it could lead to problems. Anymore, I go for weeks without eating a beef burger but, will eat turkey burgers alot and they're pretty good. -
We have:
Sonic
Carl's Jr.
Burger King
In and Out
McD's
Red Robin (not really fast food, but it is a burger joint)
Jack in the Box
Wendy's
Saint John's (not really fast food, but it is a burger joint)For pure fast food, I have to go with Sonic... The best burger I have had was up in Redding, Ca. at Giff's they have a sign that says "Home of the ugly burger" and ugly it was but man that thing tasted great... The best burger around here is at Saint John's in Sunnyvale, if your ever in the area that's where you need to go...

We Americans do love our burgers. We have the fast food joints in the south like you do in the U.S. but we also have Hardee's that cooks them as we order them. A concept that they adopted a few years ago when they also make them with Angus Beef. They are really good and make different kinds like Cheese, Douple Meat, Triple Meat, Mushroom and Swiss, Chili Cheese, Bacon, Western Burger, Jalapeno, and you can name, they more than likely have it.
And it was mentioned earlier, but Red Robin is really great too.
Cheers

Hi WayneamoJ/ I've heard of In and Outs only recently. I don't think they are in my area. Also, i've never been to a Hardees-but heard they were good. Havn't had a Baconator---yet.
As for me not being able to eat burgers yet-its due to that operation I had back in August last year in San Antonio. I was told im not supposed to eat any beef for at least a year after the operation. I think that Doctor knew that that wasn't going to work for me. In particular-im not supposed to have Steak because of its toughness to digest. However, I have had a few bites of steak and had no problems digesting it. Last one I had at a restaurant was on Mothers Day when we celebrated both that and my Birthday. I was able to eat about 2-3 ounces of a 6 oz I ordered.
Other than the digestion thing-I don't know why im ot allowed to have Steak. Same goes for any beverage that has fizz in it. Also, im not supposed to drink from a straw-because doing so will put air into my tummy. By accident recently-I wasn't thinking and I drank a sip through a straw-then realized I did so and then took the straw out of the glass.
The last burger I ate was one of those $1 dollar McDonalds cheseburgers. I was starving when I went shopping a fewmonths ago-and was felling a bit sick because I had not eatcn all day-and it was about 11PM-so I figured I would "test the waters" a bit and see if I could eat part of a small cheesebuger. Well, as people often "forget" when they are starving and wating-I forgot totake small bites and chew thoroughly-and I became very sick and was in lots of pain-for about 2 or so hours afterwards.
That is supposed to be a normal reactin for people who had the same surgery I did. I remember the first time it happened-I was ont of the hospital I guess about two weeks, and I tied a dollar coin size piece of turkey-and swallowed too big of a chunk-probably about the size of a quarter-and I had the heaves and such-that time I had it for about 45 minutes. I noticed over the months that I can tell when I am bef=ginning to feel like getting those heaves-and its easier for me to catch myself in time so that it does not happen.
I still stay away from most of what im not supposed to have-but I have had bites of a few things im not really supposed to have-like crackers-other breads-doritos chips etc.
WhenI hit my one year anniversary of the surgery date-I am going to go get a Bacon Cheeseburg er from the nearby Burger King. I will only be able to eat maybe 1/3 of the burger and some of the fries.
I somewhat miss drinking Sodapops like Dr Pepper, Mr. Pibb and Rootbeer. I have not gone against the Dr on that so far and fgure I can survive till August 17th this year-before I drink me a can of some sodapop. -
not too many here unfortunately
mcdonalds
burger king
wimpy (oh yes...when you find a wimpy, its like hitting the jackpot)
and a subways but that doesn t really count -
I never go to any of those chain hamburger joints. In almost any locality where I've ever lived, there's almost always one of those homegrown places that turns out a great hamburger (and the trimmings). In my part of Texas, it's called Pat's. They're an institution and have been in the same family since the mid-Forties.
Click on the right-hand column, fifth row down. Old Butch is a real hamburger connoisseur. :teeth_smile:
P.S.
He's the local historian in the area where I grew up. -
I really like In-N-Out burgers, although their fries are so-so.
More of a restaurant than a 'burger joint' is Black Bear diners, spread out through California and other western states. Everything, including their burgers, is VERY good. Their blackberry milkshakes are to die for
.Of course, locally, we have the usual selection of chains -
MacDonalds
Burger King
Wendy's
Jack-in-the-Box
Carl's Jr.
Dairy QueenWhile in Grants Pass, OR recently, I tried my first Sonic burger.
Speaking of coffee joints, in a nearby town (Scotts Valley), there are three Starbucks within a mile of each other (two within a couple of blocks!), and in that same radius there are also Peets, Sand City Coffee, Coffee Cat, and a couple of others small independent coffee shops. If we go to one at all, it's usually Coffee Cat.
Fast food joints (aside from the ones above) include Taco Bell and numerous independent taquerias. Then of course there are the pizza joints (both dine-in and take-and-bake - Papa Murphy's is our favorite)! And Chinese, of course, but all locally, independently owned (no Panda Express around here!).

How could I forget, we have a Stake-n-Shake. Now they make killer burgers!
Cheers -
Our small town has a Subway and a Dairy Queen. I guess if I had to pick a favorite, and we really don't eat at them that often, I would say I like a BK Whopper. Buit it is so rare that I don't really get a chance to compare them too much.
-
The small town I live in has a BK, MacDonalds, Sonic, and a Arbys.
I will always miss a small place where I grew up called Eds. He and his wife ran it. He was blind, and yet knew the difference between all the paper money. The burgers, fries, and dogs were the best.
Can't eat dogs, pepperoni, or liverwürst anymore.
Migraines are no fun.Now pizza. Yum.
