March 9, 20196 yr I guess I am the odd man out, I think whataburger’s fries are as good as any fast food fries out there.
March 9, 20196 yr Triple cheeseburger, or similar.Sweet tea. (And why is it better in an authentic styrofoam cup?)Fries.Please don't take this the wrong way. Whataburger's fries aren't very memorable.That's why you substitute them for onion rings, homie

I actually like Sonic fries texture more, but I’m positive I got food poisoning there about 9 months back and promised myself on the toilet at 3am that I would never eat there again. Give me a double meat double cheese with only ketchup and lettuce; add jalapeños. That will cure a hangover or an empty stomach.
March 10, 20196 yr Sonic has tots. You always go with tots over fries if you have a choice. Best fries in town? Surprise: Bill Miller bbq. They cook em the old-school way: in beef fat. Also, after watching Reggie, my whole family is trying to figure out how we can get some Whataburger to the man. Need to send some love to Reggie.

March 10, 20196 yr I seem to only like fast food fries at nuclear temp. They all suck after that. (Some it doesn’t help —> in and out)
March 10, 20196 yr The only sure way to help the man is to open a franchise for him in whatever shit hole he calls home. Maybe someone could start a GoFundMe for him...you only need 1.2mil for investment capital. In the likely case it falls short of goal, funds can be used to relocate Reggie. I dunno, just spitballin'
March 10, 20196 yr Bacon jalapeño cheeseburger. Easy mustard. No pickles or tomatoes. Grill jalapeños and onions. Toast buns. Edited March 10, 20196 yr by housious

March 10, 20196 yr Wendy's, Chik-fil-a, Jack-n-the-Box curly fries, and Bill Miller all have fries that are worth the calories. Whataburger fries have a very short lifespan, and definitely need the ketchup if they are not right out of the fryer. They are only tolerable because the burgers are so good. Onion rings are much better choice, especially if you have to drive home before eating.
March 10, 20196 yr I always get mine with grilled onions, cheese, and toasted bun. That way it's guaranteed to be nice and warm.

I think Whataburger needs to do a better job cleaning their fryers for one. On more than one occasion , I've received an order of fries with a few that have been overcooked a few times over suggesting they were from several batches ago.

Freshly cooked, burgers NOT light gray and cold with unmelted cheese. Bun not run over by a tire. Fries so hot they burn your mouth. It was like seeing an old friend. Shame on you Parmer lane. You disgrace the name. I've eaten my fair share of Whataburger at the Parmer Lane location and I agree with this sentiment.

March 10, 20196 yr Just ordered the #4 on Texas toast, grill the jalapeños and onions, side of onion rings.Went fishing with the girl, we didn’t catch shit, so this is our consolation prize.
March 11, 20196 yr Spent a week visiting family in the Lone Star State recently. First and last meals were at Whataburger, yet I find myself back home in Idaho, wishing I'd eaten there more.

March 14, 20196 yr Ordered both grilled and raw onions on mine today. Felt wrong but would do it again.
March 14, 20196 yr An article from 2016 that compares Whataburger with another burger chain. The author of the article orders they non-Whataburger order the same way at the location that they used to compare with Whataburger, so I'm partial to that order. All-in-all, I think that the comparison was fair. The writer readily admits that the two burgers aren't exactly like comparing apples-to-apples. https://www.thisisinsider.com/who-makes-a-better-burger-in-n-out-or-whataburger-2016-9

Perfect fries don’t need ketchup, but obviously you can always fall back on the spicy ketchup When they are at their best, they are definitely very good, but I would not rank them at the top of all chains. The problem is, to get them at their best, you have about 3 minutes to eat them after receiving your order, and that is assuming that they were prepared properly. This means that to get good Whataburger fries, you have to be dining on the premises, which may not always be an option. My most consistently good Whataburger experience for both burger and fries has been at the I-35 location in Waco, and I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that I always eat there.

All fries are going to be at their best right out of the fryer, but some have a longer shelf life than others. Whataburger fries have the shortest shelf life of all. They go from "delicious" to "blech" within a few minutes. Chick-fil-a, Wendy's, Bill Miller, Burger King, Jack-in-the-box (curly fries) all have a longer time frame where the fries are still good, even if not at their peak. If I want good Whataburger fries. I have to eat them there, or risk killing someone to eat them on the drive home. Others survive the drive. Edited March 14, 20196 yr by idigTexas

Adding a bunch of crap (a la JitB's curly fries) also improves longevity. I don't necessarily agree that it makes a better product, however (BK fries are a great example--fucking cardboard, easily the industry's worst). Did not know about Bill Miller fries, though. Next time I'm in Texas, I'll have to try them. Also, if sneaking fries on the drive home puts peoples' lives at risk, maybe you shouldn't be driving in the first place?

Burger King fries are not an example of greatness, but they have a crispiness that makes them at least edible for a longer period of time. It's probably the plastic coating. And how am I supposed to eat, drive, text, shuffle my tunes, and feel up your mom all at the same time?
March 14, 20196 yr 47 minutes ago, Bevo VIII said: Everything from In & Out is complete dog shit at every point. FIFY. This may be a minority opinion, but Chick-Fil-A's fries are very average to below average: Usually not crisp, undersalted, too much potato-to-crispiness ratio, and an even shorter shelf life than others. Plus, subbing an eight-count nuggets for them actually saves you calories(260 cal vs 360). WB fries never make it home. Edited March 14, 20196 yr by Dutch

March 14, 20196 yr If you get a side of cream gravy to dip your fries in it helps mitigate any inconsistencies because they’re now slathered in delicious gravy.
