Any answer besides Whataburger is wrong.

I've always been a fan of Whataburger.

I don't eat one very often, but it's a real treat when I do.

We have Whataburger in Albuquerque, but when I travel to Louisiana, I always make a point of having one or two while I'm there.

Whataburger is Awesome!!!! I’ve never been let down
for a fast food chain ... I’m gonna have to agree with
you Danny that it’s better than In-n-Out !!!

Not a fast food joint but I recently had a burger at
Red Robin... Man oh man was it absolutely delicious!!!
Plus all their burgers come with endless fries , fresh off
the grill !!! The fries are not a large portion but when
they’re fresh and endless who cares ...

Man, that place brings back memories of my Dad and I hit one every time I see the orange W. I will never forget how much he loved that place and even thirty five years since he passed, it still is my favorite burger.

I had one at a Suns game in Phoenix once. I didn’t get it. They were however being sold by an isle vendor so I’ll have to give it another taste test next time I get the chance. Maybe get a fresh one.

I grew up in Texas, and I love Whataburger, but I don't get what the big deal is with their burgers either. I love their breakfast menu, and the chicken strips gravy & toast combo. Love the breakfast taquitos so much

I had Suns season tickets when Whataburger was in their arena and I can safely say you haven't had a Whataburger.

They've been in Phoenix my whole life and they are my favorite fast food burger with In-N-Out being a close second.

Texas native here. I grew up eating it and I’ve tried quite a few other burger joints in my day but nothing comes close!

I gotta say the burgers used to be HUGE in the 70's and 80's. They have definitely gotten smaller but they are sooooo good!

I enjoy it, but I would say In-N-Out is better.

No way is that better than In N Out.

Too be honest, I was always a huge fan of Carls Jr.

Honorable mention: Taco Bell

Never cared for Whataburger. Then got stationed in San Diego and EVERYONE insisted I HAD to have In-n-Out. Was not impressed. I don't get it.

You have to get one of the Whataburger special burgers like the Monterrey Melt or Mushroom Swiss.

Whataburger is hard to beat when on the road. Generally, the best fast food place you’re going to find.

If anyone else is in east TX, give Juicey’s a try for hamburgers. Your waistline will suffer, but it’s worth it.
