how was/is it? What is unique if anything? Personally we don’t eat from fast food chains but would love to hear about it.
Thanks and go Tigers!

I had it when I was in Houston for work a couple of years ago. They love it in Texas and it’s a good burger, but it reminds me of Sonic.

I live in San Antonio. I try not to eat too much fast food. But I find myself at Whataburger about every 2-3 weeks. I think it’s great. The quality is always on point.

Whataburger is a different tier from those two based on price alone, so it’s not a fair comparison. Not many places are close to bad daddy’s. I’ve always found five guys a bit overrated, my go to in that price range is shake shack.

Really disappointed the first (and maybe last) time I had one in San Antonio. If I remember, there was no flexibility as to what you could get on them. I wanted Lettuce, Tomato, and Mayo, and all they offered was their special sauce and lettuce (if I remember correctly). I would prefer the In and Out burger from California.

Eaten many a Whataburger. Always get the grilled onions and Jalapenos if you like peppers. I think they are probably one of the best FF burgers. I just ate at a 5 guys in College Station and I just never see what all the fuss is about over them. They are average, no better than Whata.
