I like Five Guys better too. Only been in a Whataburger once. It was good, just not as good as Five Guys to me.
For the money Steak & Shake is pretty close. I can eat there for 1/2 the price of the other 2 and cheaper than McDonalds, Wendy's or BK.
Hardee's gets an honorable mention.
JM, you should read up on the toxic crap McDs fries their fries in. The US Cattlemens Assoc has them on their chitt list for importing south american beef which has no restrictions on feed which may contain brain tissue from deceased animals iirc.
Otoh, Burger King has had some good Angus burgers. All the WBs ive eaten the last many years have little tough bits that prevent my teeth from making contact with the opposing tooth when i chew.
