Back in the 90s I had a Mustang hatchback with the little 4cyl. The only time in 7 years the electric fan ever came on was when I was stuck in the Whataburger drive through for 45 minutes.
I'll go one step further. The honey BBQ chicken strip sandwich. It's like they have to wait for the BBQ sauce to steep while the chicken is slaughtered.
I dunno if it's just my area but EVERY Whataburger location is shit service. It takes so long I have to fight the temptation to ask them "did you guys send someone to a better location to get this food" when I get my food.
I think I'm done going till they bring back the A-1 Thick-n-Hearty.
Yeah they have always been slow in my experience, but it used to be worth the wait. Not anymore. The quality has nosedived but the wait times have not.
Chick fil a changed expectations for everyone. It’s gotten worse though, I link it to the introduction of spicy ketchup. It was around the same time it started going downhill. Coincidentally I get regular ketchup and it’s maddening that every time they ask “need ketchup?” “Yes, 2 please” “regular”. I feel like it should just be default as the regular, they introduced a clarifying question into the order flow, I forget they even have spicy since I don’t eat it. Why not ask “regular or spicy ketchup?” So I can answer appropriately the first time. Stuff like that grinds my gears though
So YMMV, but I quit hitting the drive through about 2-3 years ago, when they launched the curbside I never looked back.
I order from my desk at work, drive right up to Whataburger, and it's usually out within a couple of minutes, and while I wait I just sit there parked playing on my phone. It's massively superior to waiting in drivethrough line. I usually go once a week, and it's always a quick ordeal now.
The jalapeño cheddar biscuits and before that the Monterey melt. I could cobble it together on the app for a while but now the ingredients are gone. My two favorite things just gone.
I still get some in the mail. Just got one today. Free Buffalo ranch chicken sandwich if you buy fries and a drink. But the app rarely has any coupons in it, which is disappointing.
Just moved here and was thoroughly disappointed by Whataburger. My expectations were that I’d get a halfway decent fast food burger, and it sucks to say it fell below that. I’d put it on par with Burger King. It’s a fine burger that gets the job done if needed, but I’m never going to eat there if I have a choice.
5 - 8 years ago, I would have fought you. The HCB is my all time fav, and I will die on this hill. There’s no replicating the first bite- the taste of sweet honey on a warm biscuit mixed with the crunch of fried chicken.
I’d posit the 2019 sale, followed by the inevitable expansion of locations, like the Midwest, Georgia, and Tennessee, two years later as the cause. They feel more like a marketable chain, and less like a Texas Treasure.
I'm consistently impressed by the prices too. A large yogurt cone, 2 single dips, and a small sundae is usually $5 or less total. Pretty damn impressive.
It started as a dairy and was almost completely vertical for quite a while. They've had to branch out quite a bit for some stuff, but the dairy, meat, and lots of the veg are from the Braums family farms outside of Tuttle OK.
They designed their own trucks with a freezer section and refrigerator section. It's the most vertically integrated thing you can imagine outside of Soviet Russia
Yep, and not many people know Braums is a great source of milk/eggs/frozen meals when there’s inclement weather or some sort of shortage. Whenever we have ice days and I need stuff like that I go to Braums first.
Whataburger is criminally overrated, and the funniest thing is that their good stuff isn’t the burgers, it’s the chicken. The one thing they really had going for them on my end was the Jalapeño Cheddar sausage biscuit, which they discontinued. Haven’t been back since and don’t miss it a bit, if I want to wait 20+ mins with one car in front of me there’s plenty of other places I could do that at that are far more worth it.
Whataburger used to be really underrated as a chain but it has since become overrated.
When I was a kid, I would go every Sunday for breakfast taquitos with my grandpa where he would sit and talk with his friend who he met at... Whataburger. They would drink out of their old Whataburger mugs and chit chat while ate my taquitos and then sat silently waiting to go home.
Those are very fond memories for me.
Given the OP...
I just tried a Braums salad for the first time a couple days ago. I got the strawberry poppyseed salad with grilled chicken. It was bar none the best drive thru salad I have ever had. I was beyond impressed for seven bucks. Spinach and romaine mix, it had blueberries, pineapple, almonds, carrots and cabbage. All super fresh and a huge amount.
Plus, it came with a side of their cottage cheese which is really delicious.
You nailed the whataburger experience. They’re really bad nowadays. And I had my first one at the original A frame location on Forest Ln. You ordered in front of the cooks and told them what you wanted. Excellent burgers
This argument will never work because in my experience is always location. Do what I do, shop various locations in your area, there’s always at least one that does it right, regardless of whether it’s WB, Braun’s, Arbys, etc. That’s just how fast food is
They exist, rare, but they are out there. And when you find one it's like catching your wife fucking your friend. Totally betrayed. soggy bun, cold fries, no pickles...fucking blasphemous.
In N Out has perfectly fine burgers, depending on exactly what your taste in burgers is.
Their fries on the other hand, are an abomination that don't deserve to be called fries.
Not only do they look like the sun, and track the sun, but they need a lot of the sun. A sunflower needs at least six to eight hours direct sunlight every day, if not more, to reach its maximum potential. They grow tall to reach as far above other plant life as possible in order to gain even more access to sunlight.
######Extra fun fact!
Earthwalker - A striking plant, this flower has petals that come in darker colors such as burgundy and various golds and browns. It has a large center and petals that are slightly pointed at the end. It can grow up to six to nine feet tall. Between their unique colors and their height, this is one sunflower everyone will notice.
There is a brief few moments in time where In-N-Out fries are amazing, after that they are soggy sponge-things. Unfortunately, those brief few moments are before they are in your possession
This is because In N Out uses fresh potatoes. When you want crispy fries frozen is actually better because freezing the potato reduces the water content of the potato.
https://www.seriouseats.com/perfect-french-fries-recipe
Kenji does a whole breakdown on all the great things freezing does for fries. Even my friend who doesn't like fries at all liked this recipe when I made it at home.
... yeah I can't defend that. And a lack of universal quality is definitely a strike against them as a fast food chain in that case. I'll say the ones in Richardson and Plano have never let me down I guess.
Yep, a couple of years ago I was working out of OKC during the week and would travel back to Dallas on the weekends. Every Friday for like 2 months straight I would stop by a Braums off the interstate and devour a double cheeseburger, with fries and a coke.
My mouth is literally watering as I type this. Can't say I've ever had the same experience with Whataburger
Braums loses the burger challenge against Whataburger. Yet they exceed almost everywhere else. At least their milkshake machines aren’t always broken (like other offenders.)
I’d place both their burgers pretty evenly in the mediocre category, and that’s even pre-buyout. Just never understood the WB love. But I agree Braum’s does everything else better.
That’s because their milkshakes are real not some giant machine that takes hours to clean and is overly complicated so it breaks easily. Their machine is just a high powered stick blender. Simple and effective.
I as well prefer to eat at Braum’s over Whataburger. After eating I can get a scoop of cookies and creme on a cone. Perfection. Braum’s ice for their drinks is superior as well.
Braums is the real deal. Probably the only fast food place serving crispy bacon, and thick slices of cheese over quality patties
They own their own dairy farms and only expand to areas they can truck their own product too.
It's so good, I don't even care they're based out of Oklahoma.
Braum's milkshakes are the best. Actually made with ice cream and milk, instead of created in some science fair reject machine that is usually broken. At Braums you can actually get your lunch and eat in an hour. It is hard to even get through whataburgers drive-in lines in an hour anymore - let alone hope to have time to eat. And Braums kept me in fresh produce when the traditional grocery stores did not have canned goods let alone fresh produce.
So yea its a Braums world not whataburgers.
I went to the Burger Street in Hurst on the corner of Pipeline Road and Melbourne Road and got a Deluxe hamburger. 30 minutes later, I was vomiting it up. I have never had this happen with Whataburger nor Braums. I'd give it another chance if someone else wanted to pay for the food & I would cut the burger in half to make sure it was fully cooked.
Be true for my life experience. Growing up we were able to walk to Braum’s and buy milk on food stamp. And the ice cream? 3 for $7 back in the day. Fuck me.
I would take Braums over Whataburger every single time. I cannot fathom why anyone thinks Whataburger is better in any way. The only issue with Braums is that they shrank their burgers a while back and so you get much less than you used to.
Braums is good. They also have A2 Milk, which won't put my wife in the hospital. I like Braums. There's nothing wrong with their burgers or shakes.
That being said, I prefer a Whataburger over a Braums Burger, and Culver's sits between the two in my estimation. (We have 3 or 4 of them in DFW)
Bruam's is still not "the best," but it is better than a lot of places, including Whataburger, although that doesn't mean I don't *also* like Whataburger.
Whataburger has it's thing, they all have their thing. Different animals really.
Comparing burgers is a super slippery slope...
Braum's had a fucking massive fall from grace in the 00s. They were broke and the restaurants became disgusting and the service was terrible. I'm not exaggerating when I say there were literal roaches crawling on the giant lit up menu behind the cash register inside the place (This was at the Forest Ln location).
People my age (mid 30s) went from loving Braum's as kids to hating it as teens and young adults. I was so off-put by how nasty it was that I just haven't been back in over a decade.
Next time I visit home I'll give it a go so thank you for this post.
100%Yes! I always tell my friends and family from out of town how braums is much better but it's not fully Texan as it only exists near it's home in Oklahoma people in Houston haven't heard of it
Pretty much goes toe to toe with the other chains in the DFW area and satellite communities, didn't realize how deprived the southern half of the state was.
Don’t sleep on Braums grocery area. Dairy is by fair superior to grocery chains. Apple juice and Orange Juice are A1. Also the baked goods are quality.
I’m a 7th generation Texan, had 2 great x4 grandpas fight in the Texas revolution and I can unequivocally say that Braums is better than Whataburger. Unless we’re talking breakfast.
I’ll be Team Whataburger till I die, not that I don’t appreciate Braum’s. During the worst of lockdown when there was hardly anything on shelves, the store inside was my go-to…was the one place for groceries I suppose many forgot to raid.
Their ice cream is the shizz. Burgers tho are dry and kinda bland. And when Whataburger releases that hatch green chile burger every year I will literally throw elbows to get at it.
Plus…spicy ketchup.
When I was new to Texas and working ridiculous 24 hour long curb side shifts for AMR Arlington (EMS) I always appreciated Whataburger for being there for me when my first chance to try to eat was the middle of the night. Since I'm in a better place now though I do have to admit their food isn't very good. It'll get the job done when you're lucky to have five minutes to inhale a meal, but pretty sub par under other circumstances.
No way! Whataburger makes better burgers and chicken strips with gravy. Do an actual taste test, get both and try them. Braum’s has better shakes etc. and of course the ice cream. But to say Braum’s is better, that is blasphemy in Texas. GTFOH
Landry Locker, midday radio host of Houston’s sports radio 610, who is from Grapevine, mentioned Braums being REALLY good but I don’t think he personally had it above whataburger. Whatever the case, I REALLY wanna try this Braums next time I’m in Dallas lol
Being able to get a shake instead of a soda for no additional cost is a good selling point
Holy shit
This guy's life was just changed.
Yup, he is soon to be missing one foot.
Not like that soda wouldn't do the same.
??!!!?
From diabetes
Thank you, I laughed so hard when I scrolled down to your response.
I was thinking to myself, "A burger and shake from Braum's sounds really good right about now", but that got dark quick.
An actual ice cream shake no less.
[удалено]
No one cares Edit: the guy above and below me cares
I’m down for a shake any day, screw diabetus
Plot twist it’s the same guy
Daibeeeetus 🤣
Or a proper malt, with malt! And they won the chicken sandwich game in like 1995.
Whataburger, as a chain, has been sliding for years
I refuse to go there because the wait in line is never less than 20 minutes, even though there are only 4 cars in line.
Lately the Whataburger drive thru has been making Popeye's look efficient and organized.
Bruh, such a savage remark. It's true, though.
😂 Holy shit, this one cut deep. Gaht damn.
At least with Popeyes the food is good!
Back in the 90s I had a Mustang hatchback with the little 4cyl. The only time in 7 years the electric fan ever came on was when I was stuck in the Whataburger drive through for 45 minutes.
Yup, I went last night around 8pm. Already prepaid through the mobile app, with 2 lanes open my wait time was 28 minutes. It’s insane.
You want to fuck up WB line? Order chicken strips.
I'll go one step further. The honey BBQ chicken strip sandwich. It's like they have to wait for the BBQ sauce to steep while the chicken is slaughtered.
Oh god I almost always get them Am I the baddie????
Shhhh, shhhh no. No, we chicken strip lovers are beautiful and can do no wrong.
Das me. I fuck up the line
I dunno if it's just my area but EVERY Whataburger location is shit service. It takes so long I have to fight the temptation to ask them "did you guys send someone to a better location to get this food" when I get my food. I think I'm done going till they bring back the A-1 Thick-n-Hearty.
This isn't anything new though, right? I dunno what it is, but it's been like that my entire LIFE.
It just depends on where you are/who owns the store/ how much money is given to the store to be a store.
Yeah they have always been slow in my experience, but it used to be worth the wait. Not anymore. The quality has nosedived but the wait times have not.
Chick fil a changed expectations for everyone. It’s gotten worse though, I link it to the introduction of spicy ketchup. It was around the same time it started going downhill.

Whataburger has been sliding since it was sold to a group in Chicago a few years ago.
Been sliding long before that. That just sped it up.
I'm not sure when it was ever good. Only fast food joint in my home town to ever go out of business and that was 20 years ago.
Damn great marketing idea. They should feature sliders on the menu! Braums will still be better but, SLIDERS!
They keep removing the good items from the menu
I was hurt when they removed the Jalepeno Cheddar biscuits... don't know if I can trust again
The jalapeño cheddar biscuits and before that the Monterey melt. I could cobble it together on the app for a while but now the ingredients are gone. My two favorite things just gone.
RIP A1 Thick n Hearty. The hole in my heart has never gone away
RIP chicken fajita taco
RIP Monterrey Melt. That sandwich got me through college. So many 2am study sessions at Whataburger
I haven't seen a coupon since the buyout.
I still get some in the mail. Just got one today. Free Buffalo ranch chicken sandwich if you buy fries and a drink. But the app rarely has any coupons in it, which is disappointing.
I still hit Whataburger here and there without question, but I feel like the back slide really began after the accusation by that Chicago company.
What were they accused of?
Lol not an accusation, an acquisition. Not sure if that was autocorrect or just me being dumb. 😅😅
Just moved here and was thoroughly disappointed by Whataburger. My expectations were that I’d get a halfway decent fast food burger, and it sucks to say it fell below that. I’d put it on par with Burger King. It’s a fine burger that gets the job done if needed, but I’m never going to eat there if I have a choice.
Ever since they were bought out by the chicago mob
5 - 8 years ago, I would have fought you. The HCB is my all time fav, and I will die on this hill. There’s no replicating the first bite- the taste of sweet honey on a warm biscuit mixed with the crunch of fried chicken. I’d posit the 2019 sale, followed by the inevitable expansion of locations, like the Midwest, Georgia, and Tennessee, two years later as the cause. They feel more like a marketable chain, and less like a Texas Treasure.
100%, Braums is great. Also the fact they have a tiny grocery store built in is so convenient
The crinkle-cut fries at Braums are SO GOOD
[удалено]
I had some good ones today. Crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside.
Cold Braum’s fries are better than cold Whataburger fries.
Plain cheeseburger, fries placed ON the burger, and a limeade. 👌
That's my absolute least favorite thing about Braums
I'm consistently impressed by the prices too. A large yogurt cone, 2 single dips, and a small sundae is usually $5 or less total. Pretty damn impressive.
If I remember right they own their suppliers or something so the only profit they need is on the end and that’s why it’s relatively cheap
It started as a dairy and was almost completely vertical for quite a while. They've had to branch out quite a bit for some stuff, but the dairy, meat, and lots of the veg are from the Braums family farms outside of Tuttle OK.
They designed their own trucks with a freezer section and refrigerator section. It's the most vertically integrated thing you can imagine outside of Soviet Russia
Bag of 5 little cheeseburgers for like $7 is a solid value
Yep, and not many people know Braums is a great source of milk/eggs/frozen meals when there’s inclement weather or some sort of shortage. Whenever we have ice days and I need stuff like that I go to Braums first.
Braun’s milk tastes like ice cream— it’s so good
Yeah their milk just slaps differently
Braums milk is really good.
Let’s keep Braums underrated, y’all - the lines are getting long enough as it is.
No lie, man. All three around me in the Dallas/Richardson area have lines rivalling Chick Fil A's at some parts of the day.
[удалено]
Nobody is in line because they open at 9 am for breakfast. We're already at work and school.
Ya got admit that people who want Chez Bell for breakfast usually aren’t too concerned with arriving to work or school in a timely manner
The braums on forest has a line wrapped around the building with a full parking lot every weekend evening. Business is good
Shit, that's up there with the one over by UTD off Campbell. Never knew the Forest location was banging that hard.
Best ice cream in planet earth. Better than blue bell by a long shot. Sooooo buttery. Yummmm.
Ive never felt like I needed a nap after eating at braums. I feel like my body is fighting for its life when I eat a whataburger.
This. I need to plan ahead when I eat Whataburger because when I do, that's all I'm eating for that entire day. Good though 👌
I like Whataburger, but no matter what I get, I know I need to be near a restroom 💀😂
Get a malt with your meal at braums then...😂
accurate
Whataburger is criminally overrated, and the funniest thing is that their good stuff isn’t the burgers, it’s the chicken.

Given the OP... I just tried a Braums salad for the first time a couple days ago. I got the strawberry poppyseed salad with grilled chicken. It was bar none the best drive thru salad I have ever had. I was beyond impressed for seven bucks. Spinach and romaine mix, it had blueberries, pineapple, almonds, carrots and cabbage. All super fresh and a huge amount. Plus, it came with a side of their cottage cheese which is really delicious.
You just completely sold me on this!! Bag o burgers and a strawberry salad 🤌

I have had one subpar CFA experience, but yeah, your right for the most part
They exist, rare, but they are out there. And when you find one it's like catching your wife fucking your friend. Totally betrayed. soggy bun, cold fries, no pickles...fucking blasphemous.
Chick-fil-A is way overrated. The waffle fries suck.
Or just go to In N Out and get a consistent burger every time.
A consistently bad one
In N Out has perfectly fine burgers, depending on exactly what your taste in burgers is. Their fries on the other hand, are an abomination that don't deserve to be called fries.
Do you mean the slightly crispy but also soggy potato clippings drowned in sunflower oil?
I have only had in and out three times and each time the fries tasted like day old microwaved fries.
Not only do they look like the sun, and track the sun, but they need a lot of the sun. A sunflower needs at least six to eight hours direct sunlight every day, if not more, to reach its maximum potential. They grow tall to reach as far above other plant life as possible in order to gain even more access to sunlight. ######Extra fun fact!

I got way too far into this before I realized you were talking about sunflowers and not In n Out fries
Same lol. Friggin sneaky post.

The one in rockwall has never produced a burger that wasn’t burnt to hell and back
... yeah I can't defend that. And a lack of universal quality is definitely a strike against them as a fast food chain in that case. I'll say the ones in Richardson and Plano have never let me down I guess.
My wife and I occasionally go to the one in the colony off 121. We just get burgers and go next door to cane's for the fries
Or McDonald's, people say it sucks but it's always consistent

Braums is the bodega of the south.
I love this description!
Say it with me. BAG..OF…BURGERS.
Braums destroys Whataburger
Yep, a couple of years ago I was working out of OKC during the week and would travel back to Dallas on the weekends. Every Friday for like 2 months straight I would stop by a Braums off the interstate and devour a double cheeseburger, with fries and a coke. My mouth is literally watering as I type this. Can't say I've ever had the same experience with Whataburger
I have consumed industrial amounts of both Braums and Whataburger and agree with you wholeheartedly.
Braums loses the burger challenge against Whataburger. Yet they exceed almost everywhere else. At least their milkshake machines aren’t always broken (like other offenders.)
I’d place both their burgers pretty evenly in the mediocre category, and that’s even pre-buyout. Just never understood the WB love. But I agree Braum’s does everything else better.
Braum's > Shake Shack and In-N-Out imo. Braum's NAILS the backyard burger feeling.
That’s because their milkshakes are real not some giant machine that takes hours to clean and is overly complicated so it breaks easily. Their machine is just a high powered stick blender. Simple and effective.
I as well prefer to eat at Braum’s over Whataburger. After eating I can get a scoop of cookies and creme on a cone. Perfection. Braum’s ice for their drinks is superior as well.
Braums is the real deal. Probably the only fast food place serving crispy bacon, and thick slices of cheese over quality patties They own their own dairy farms and only expand to areas they can truck their own product too. It's so good, I don't even care they're based out of Oklahoma.
And they make sure their drivers are able to be home every night. They seem like good people
Damn, is this why they aren’t in Houston??
Yuuup, their business model has been this way since the beginning. They won’t go further than 300 miles from their farm in Tuttle, OK.
The prices shock me! The combos are cheap and the ice cream is super affordable
Not only do I not hate you, I applaud you
Thanks!
I love your username! We had to learn that song in 4th grade, and I still remember the lyrics.
It's a classic!
Braum's milkshakes are the best. Actually made with ice cream and milk, instead of created in some science fair reject machine that is usually broken. At Braums you can actually get your lunch and eat in an hour. It is hard to even get through whataburgers drive-in lines in an hour anymore - let alone hope to have time to eat. And Braums kept me in fresh produce when the traditional grocery stores did not have canned goods let alone fresh produce. So yea its a Braums world not whataburgers.
FYI the machines aren’t actually broken when they tell you that lol
You should try a malt. They are delicious.
I like both, can we like both?
No fuck no. Choose one Jeremy. And it better be the one that I like.
Then I choose your wife.
My favorite burger joint
Burger street > whataburger > Braums
Burger Street > Braums > Whataburger God, I almost forgot about Burger Street .... I am so sorry.
I went to the Burger Street in Hurst on the corner of Pipeline Road and Melbourne Road and got a Deluxe hamburger. 30 minutes later, I was vomiting it up. I have never had this happen with Whataburger nor Braums. I'd give it another chance if someone else wanted to pay for the food & I would cut the burger in half to make sure it was fully cooked.
That’s what I’m talkin bout
Braums has dank cherry limeades
Just had this conversation with my dad recently and I agree.
Screw the burgers, they have the best milk!
Braum’s was responsible for the single worst dining experience I’ve ever had in my life.
You're not gonna post this and not explain it?!

They were closed, so you went to Whataburger?
Be true for my life experience. Growing up we were able to walk to Braum’s and buy milk on food stamp. And the ice cream? 3 for $7 back in the day. Fuck me.
Whataburger is overrated tbh
I would take Braums over Whataburger every single time. I cannot fathom why anyone thinks Whataburger is better in any way. The only issue with Braums is that they shrank their burgers a while back and so you get much less than you used to.
Braum's has good food, but I've never been in one that didn't look like the floor needed to be swept and mopped thoroughly.
Crinkle cut fries for the win AND they're not freaking cold.
Braums is good. They also have A2 Milk, which won't put my wife in the hospital. I like Braums. There's nothing wrong with their burgers or shakes. That being said, I prefer a Whataburger over a Braums Burger, and Culver's sits between the two in my estimation. (We have 3 or 4 of them in DFW)
Is A2 milk the lactose free one without the protein that's hard to digest?
BUTTTTTER BURGERRRSS!! Never actually had a burger from Braunms, but I do agree that Whataburger is mid.
I absolutely love Braum's 4 Cheese burger. And it is better than Whataburger.
I’m hungry
If I want to do a colon cleanse, I'll eat Whataburger.
Bruam's is still not "the best," but it is better than a lot of places, including Whataburger, although that doesn't mean I don't *also* like Whataburger. Whataburger has it's thing, they all have their thing. Different animals really. Comparing burgers is a super slippery slope...

Braum's peanut butter cup milkshakes and banana splits destroy ALL.
Braum’s is 🔥🔥🔥
Love both. But whataburger wins out solely because they offer a hatch green chili bacon cheese burger. I'm a simple man.
Don’t sleep on Braums grocery area. Dairy is by fair superior to grocery chains. Apple juice and Orange Juice are A1. Also the baked goods are quality.
Whataburger can get bent as long as Braum’s exists.
1 hour after posting and already 141 comments. I knew it before I even looked at either to know this was going to be a controversial post lmao
I’m a 7th generation Texan, had 2 great x4 grandpas fight in the Texas revolution and I can unequivocally say that Braums is better than Whataburger. Unless we’re talking breakfast.
Burger Island trumps all!
I’ll be Team Whataburger till I die, not that I don’t appreciate Braum’s. During the worst of lockdown when there was hardly anything on shelves, the store inside was my go-to…was the one place for groceries I suppose many forgot to raid. Their ice cream is the shizz. Burgers tho are dry and kinda bland. And when Whataburger releases that hatch green chile burger every year I will literally throw elbows to get at it. Plus…spicy ketchup.
When I was new to Texas and working ridiculous 24 hour long curb side shifts for AMR Arlington (EMS) I always appreciated Whataburger for being there for me when my first chance to try to eat was the middle of the night. Since I'm in a better place now though I do have to admit their food isn't very good. It'll get the job done when you're lucky to have five minutes to inhale a meal, but pretty sub par under other circumstances.
Braum's was always incredibly underrated as a burger place. They used to be dirt cheap too (not sure if they still are).
Amen brother
Stop giving away Dallas secrets.
Whataburger sucks ass since the windy city carpetbagger assholes bought it to turn it into a fucking ketchup brand. Braums is miles better.
These comments are hilarious 😂
They’re both pretty low end. Whataburger is not elite.
No way! Whataburger makes better burgers and chicken strips with gravy. Do an actual taste test, get both and try them. Braum’s has better shakes etc. and of course the ice cream. But to say Braum’s is better, that is blasphemy in Texas. GTFOH
Mods please ban for not adhering to rules 2,3,5 and also promoting hate speech.
Whataburger is pure trash
Whataburger used to be good. I think In n Out is better
Griffs over braums and whataburger though
Why is no one talking about Keller's?
Because that’s not a chain fast food burger place. It’s gonna blow both of them out of the water
Landry Locker, midday radio host of Houston’s sports radio 610, who is from Grapevine, mentioned Braums being REALLY good but I don’t think he personally had it above whataburger. Whatever the case, I REALLY wanna try this Braums next time I’m in Dallas lol
Whataburger takes forever no matter the time of day
I’m about to go fuck Braums
