We hit a What-A-Burger in Tulsa 2 nights before the Texas football game, after hitting Oktoberfest (what the hell kind of Oktoberfest ends at 11PM?), and I can't remember which one it was. We had to avoid one due to construction (I think). I'm assuming it was close to University of Tulsa (where my cousin goes) but I'm not sure if that's Peoria or not.

It wasn't quite as good as the one I had in Houston the year before, but I'm excited to go again.

One thing I love about Whataburger is the ketchup. It comes in little plastic containers like the McNuggets dipping sauces do instead of those little packets you have to squeeze out.

I'd put Jack in the Box ahead of McD's. About on par w/BK or Wendy's, but a less familiar menu (which is always a bonus for me).

We were in Dallas about a year ago and I decided to stop by Whataburger since they advertise so much on our games, I was curious. It was basically just a spiffed up McD's burger......not even really on par with a Hardee's burger. B-Bop's burgers are much better.

Yeah, a burger race between Jack in the Box, Whataburger, and Carl's Junior.

We hit In n Out evertime we visit here it PHX. I don't get the obsession. I do like the fresh cut fries, just something about that. But the burgers are so normal. I'll take a Smashburger anyday over these. I'm going to try it again tomorrow, but this will be my sixth time, I'm trying to understand what I miss here.

I would not call them fast. You can take out but they take awhile to smash your burger or chicken.

I get an upset stomach whenever I eat any of that mess..... Except for In-N-Out.... Just sayin

I'll drive by both Smash Burger and 5 Guys to get to Broncos. They have a good variety on their menu and the fresh/not frozen preparation of burgers, fries, and tenderloins does make a difference. The fresh cut fries by themselves make Broncos the winner over the competition. I just always have to remember to special request the burger when I order one. The standard product comes with mustard and I'm more of a ketchup guy by choice.

a 2x4 (aptly named), Fresh cut cheese or animal fries, washed down with a neopolitan shake or lemon-up.

Probably a good thing the nearest one is 1000 miles away.
