"Hamburger-loving Americans, would you take your family to Fuddrucker's?"

[slinkerwink]

Fuddrucker's is this amazing franchcise in Texas. It's a hamburger place where they have all sorts of hamburgers on the menu with some of the best fries you'll ever have and the ingredients that you can put on your hamburger salad is numerous.

here's a link to Fuddrucker's:

1. I went there when I was 8 and got violently ill

I have not set foot inside of a Fuddfuckers in 20 years.

[slinkerwink]

2. where was that fuddruckers?

The ones in San Antonio and Laredo are very good. Whenever I leave for a flight in San Antonio, I'll often ask my dad to drop me off early so I can get a bite of food at the Fuddrucker's in the airport before I leave.

8. The SF Bay Area

I never went back.

[slinkerwink]

10. figures.

3. there was a fuddrucker's where I grew up

I remember they had a window into the freezer so you could see the big slabs of beef hanging.

But still the best burgers I've ever had were In 'n Out, a SoCal chain.

[slinkerwink]

4. I've never had In N' Out

[Fridays Child]

5. Yep. In-N-Out's the best. And one is being built at Cortaro and I-10...

...in Tucson. Yippee!

[slinkerwink]

11. is there a website for In-N-Out?

[Fridays Child]

23. Yes, here you go...

http://www.in-n-out.com/

Come west and have a Double-Double, fries, and a shake! Hamburgers, fries, shakes, and soda pop are all they serve.

22. I never understood

what was supposed to be so great about In-N-Out. Paper thin burgers which fall apart. I'd rather have Fuddruckers.

6. I've had them both and they both suck

Fuddruckers is laden in so much grease inside the restaurant, it's gross. Powdered shake mix pooped out of a machine, fast food style? Big deal.

In'n Out also pretty gross if you don't eat it while it's hot enough you won't even want to eat it at all.

As with any fast food, an hour or so after you eat it you start to feel sick and your stomach hurts.

And don;t leave the bag in the car overnight or it will seriously smell like someone took a dook in your car.

[rumguy]

7. still not free yet?

9. Ground Beef.....

I dunno the whole concept of ground beef never appealed to me. Think about it, all the prime cuts of meat are gone. What you get is the leftovers that are ground up. I admit I do eat fast food once in a blue moon. Mostly I am trying to not eat meat and live a healthier vegeterian lifestlye with meat on ocassion.

12. I love Fuddruckers

I've got 2 Fudd's in my town, and whenever I am in the vicinity of one, I always make a point to eat there.

13. With the USDA not letting and other wise preventing slaughter houses

from testing every animal for Mad Cow, I don't trust out beef supply. Hamburger is the last thing I would want to eat.

[DEM FAN]

14. I Went There Once And I LOVED It. Great Food. Little On The High Price

Side Though. :-)

[2bfree]

15. We used to go............

when we still ate tons of beef.

[mac56]

16. Whataburger = best fast-food burger in Texas.

In the Midwest (WI, MN, IL), try Culver's. Mmmmm...butterburgers.

[Enraged_Ape]

17. I love Fuddruckers

Make mine a half-pound Lincoln County, medium-rare, on one of their delicious home-baked buns.

With a basket of bacon cheese fries and ranch dressing on the side.

OH, yeah.

[Zomby Woof]

18. they're all over the country

I ate at one in Virginia Beach, VA when I lived there in the mid-80's. I remember the sides of beef getting ground as you watch. *feels the DU vegans cringe* :P

Saw one in Montana once, and one down in PHX.

But I haven't eaten at one since VA back in '87 or so. I do remember liking them though.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmburger......

[GOPisEvil]

19. For a chain burger, Fuddrucker's isn't bad.

Of course, me and my sometimes juvenile friends call it "Ruddfucker's". :evilgrin:

[Zomby Woof]

20. LOTS of people call it that

And the chain snob thing wears thin. There are just as many shitty indie resturants (they mercifully go out of business quicker), so dissing chains doesn't make you some kind of gourmet. Even within chains, there isn't always the uniformity like everyone believes, especally when some are franchised, and the management has sway over the suppliers' ingredients and so forth.

[GOPisEvil]

27. Damn, and I thought we were so original.

What's next? No Easter Bunny?

[bmbmd]

21. Our local Fuddrucker's (Lubbock, Texas)

went broke after the health inspection guys found mouse droopings on the brownies. Opened a new one about two years later.

[mitchum]

24. Handsdown the best chain hamburger...

and their name makes me snicker like a schoolboy :)

Best "indie" hamburger : Clock'd (Athens, GA)

[JVS]

25. I almost went there once

But there were too many little yard-apes running around. I didn't know what the restaurant's concept was, but I was afraid that I had pulled up to a Chuck E Cheese's for the 8-12 set, so I bolted for the comfort of a bar.

[redqueen]

26. I like it

I especially like their Chili Cheese Fries.

I like Purdy's more, though. :)

[Dees]

28. Fuddruckers is good.. Culver's is the best

[peekaloo]

31. Butter Burgers!

Mmmmmmmmm Culvers.......damn fine custard, too!

[LibertyLover]

29. Fudd's

We have one in Annapolis and it's ok. Until Red Robin and Johnny Rocket's opened at the Annapolis Mall food court across the street I would have said Fuddruckers was great. Now however I think that Red Robin has slightly better burgers of the "gourmet" variety and Johnny Rocket's has a better "greasy-spoon" version (better onion rings too). Just my 0.02 cents.

[Bertha Venation]

30. NO WAY. Why?

Because everytime I've been there, the place has been overrun with thousands of four-year-old soccer brats and their oblivious parents.

Mrs. V. likes the place. To me, the burgers aren't worth it.
