Sometimes you’ll get someone who over seasons the meat or cooks the sh!t out of it, but I don’t think the quality has changed much. I probably don’t eat if often enough to really notice, though. Yeah, well duh… Sonoma has some of the best restaurants in the country. Not that L.A. doesn’t have it’s fair share, but I live in the Valley and it a focking hassle going over the hill. You've been over the hill for a while, No? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OldMaid 2,130 Posted August 4, 2021 Well, if we’re going for sit down chain, I pick Eureka!. Their Fresno Fig burger is the bomb! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The lines are officially blurred. I prefer Red Robin, Applebee’s, etc to fast food. Fast food serves a purpose on road trip, or where I/we have less time for table service Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You'd think for a place that is entirely devoted to burgers, they'd be good at it, but I don't like theirs very much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Their meat is ok. I don't like their buns. They are obviously far more concerned with how they look then how they taste or feel imo. And yes guys, I see the obvious joke. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You'd think for a place that is entirely devoted to burgers, they'd be good at it, but I don't like theirs very much. Red Robin is popular with our family. I turned my kids onto the Royal burger (fried egg, bacon, cheese) and it was a hit. Well, except the kid who is Vegan now. Anyone else have Fuddruckers? That's my favorite fast casual burger, if we are expanding into that discussion. Big, fresh burgers, buttery buns baked on site. The best is the warm cheese sauce in the condiment section -- I love fake cheese and drown my fries and burger in it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fuddruckers was THE best hamburger restaurant. Sadly, one day I ate the cajun chicken sandwich and never had a hamburger again. Great fries also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cruzer 1,995 Posted August 4, 2021 Fuddruckers used to be here in the Metroplex - but couldn't make it, went bust and pulled out. 5 Guys - not a fan. For one they're way overpriced, which goes to my 2nd point. What are they exactly? No drive thru windows, priced as sit-down restaurant burgers, yet the inside looks like a fast food dining place - small, no tvs, no bar... I also don't care for their fries, always soggy and mush. Believe it or not, Hooters actually makes a good burger - it's certainly better than the wings. If I'm going to have a sit down burger, I'm going there. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
