The thing about Whataburger is that it is the highest variance FF chain I can think of. The good ones are great, the bad ones make you rue the decision to go there.
My first Whataburger experience was great, then I went on a huge streak of suck.
My info is dated, so I suppose it’s possible they all suck.
Having said that I had a really excellent fried chicken sandwich at some Wolfgang Puck restaurant at an airport. The key was instead of a chicken breast it was a fried, boneless chicken thigh. Not sure why thigh fried chicken sandwiches aren’t more of a thing. Thigh >>> Breast.
Agree, and I’d definitely give it another try if given the chance.
Coincidentally, I walked by a Popeye’s yesterday while shopping at a mall, but we already had plans for lunch so I passed. At least I know where to find it now.
Looks like Bojangles has 9 KY locations. 5 of them are between Louisville and Lexington (not at though). The other four are in decent areas, but nothing crazy.
You might think the answer logically would be KFC. But no, the Chick-Fil-A locations I see around Lexington are around the block nonstop.
Tried the Christian Taliban Chicken Sandwich last time I was in the US. It is for sure the worst among fast food chains I’ve tried. Totally confused by the love it gets.
The thing that makes made Whataburger great appreciated is that the entire menu is available 24 hours a day, 360+ days a year. In 2022 that’s not really all that notable. 25 years ago it was.
Also, they have weirdly interesting sandwich specials in rotation throughout the year. The A1 burger has like half a bottle of the sauce on it. The patty melt is a greasy hot mess. There’s some sort of bbq chicken tender sandwich that doesn’t even make sense. These experiences create fond drunken memories at 3:00 AM.
That was one redeeming quality that I never took advantage of. The Whataburger was about 1 min away from a Taco Cabana and if I needed fast food after midnight, it was no contest.
just got the impossible burger with bacon from BK. love the idea. At $11 I’m almost certainly going to be disappointed but I had a hankerin’ for an oreo shake so this is what’s happening.
