Everyone turned off their engines while waiting, right?

    There is no more potent or damning example of the brutal emptiness of American culture than a mile long line of cars waiting to get a shitty fast food hamburger.

    Imagine, if you will, that the most exciting thing happening in your life is the celebration of a new fast food franchise.

    Out of all the regional fast food chains that get a lot of hype, whataburger has to be the most underwhelming. Sure it's better than McBuger King or whatever, but that's a very low bar. It's not something I would wait in line for.

    The only noteworthy thing about it is, at least from what I remember of the few times I went there, the quantity-to-cost ratio seemed a bit better than most other places.

    How do people even justify to themselves waiting this long for shit, the restaurant isn't going away, just come back in 2/3 days when you actually don't have as much of a crowd.

      Whataburger sucks and it has always sucked. Texans collectively gaslit themselves into drooling over the most mediocre fast food burger imaginable

    Hot take: Whataburger only gets so much hype because it's a "Southern Pride" kind of thing, so someone from the north can't easily disprove them that it's not that good.

    I have never heard of this place and it sounds like the kind of name I'd see on a dodgy kebab shop I'd go to when absolutely drunk out of my mind after a night clubbing. The kind of place I'd never go to sober but tastes like heaven when I'm absolutely shitfaced.

      I have a Cookout by me so burger shit is just kinda meh. Nothing better than getting a burger with a side of burger and quesadilla for $5

    never tried it but the only interesting thing was the sweet sauces they put on some burgers.
