The glory days of Whattaburger are long past, for sure. Back in 1969 in Laredo, I had my first one. I came on a bun the size of a Buick hubcap with meat all the way to the edge. There was no such thing as a "double" back then, but one was enough to fill the belly of even a gluttonous 20-something. Price was about a buck.
Didn't get back to Texas for a long time. By then, the burgers were still big, but not enough to make you involuntarily blurt "WHAT a burger!"
Years after that, on the now-famous Padre Island 'Fire trip hosted by stxhunter Roger, the #6 Jalapeno Combo was still absolutely amazing with its twin patties, cheese, L&T and loads of hollowpeenies.
A year or two ago in Phoenix, the experience wasn't so amazing. Average burger size, so-so taste, and mediocre service kinda took the shine off.
I'd still go to one whenever I found it, but my expectations would be pretty low.
That's a good synopsis Rocky. Your out of Texas experience mirrored mine. I'm sure there are plenty locations in Texas that are like that now too as hasbeen pointed out. When I was a kid, they were something special but they weren't close by and on every corner either, so we didn't eat there all that often.
I know some of you guys are watching da foosball too.
You all need to punish yourselves if so..
Especially if your watching the Cowboys and Giants game.
Chik Filet sucks almost as bad as the Cowboys....
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Don’t watch them niqqas anymore. And nobody sucks worse than the Dallas Cowboys. Unless it’s Da Bears.

Big ole bag of their fries weren't bad though.

Cookie, Rico, and Blackjack enjoyed the burgers though that night.
And were doing great white doggy shark breaching for seal leaps for the fries also. 👍👍😁😁😁
5 Guys is highly overrated! Fries weren’t bad though.

I can't believe you cretins actually eat so called 'fast food'.
Oh wait, I can.....
The ONLY burger I will consume starts with 100% pure, organic, grass range, corn fed Black Angus.....
87/13% number #5 grind. Chelated, twice...
Grilled on cast iron grates over endangered Peruvian hardwood with a sprinkling of Jack Daniel's oak barrel chips.
Damn that sounds good Sam !

C, I was sorta kidding but do like the homegrown burger!
I'm too chicken to eat med rare grocery store burger but no worries with our own. Unless the butcher is a dirty bastard but so far so good.
Hard to beat. One of the few things I miss about running cattle.
