I never get a burger when I'm there, I get the whiskey river bbq chicken. Shit is awesome.

Also who doesn't love all you can eat steak fries?

Pretty much this. Red Robin's burgers are decent, but their real claim to fame is the never ending fries. And the fries happen to be pretty good, too.
Yup. I've noticed over the years though the portions they bring you are smaller and anytime it's me and my wife they bring us a single portion to share. Finally I started saying we both wanted two portions to start off with. They get all pissy about it but whatever, I'm there for the steak fries so bring me steak fries.

I also love their strawberry lemonaid.
Don't try to butch it up. It's called Freckled Lemonade. It's deliciousness is only surpassed by how gay I feel ordering one.

I mean, you COULD say strawberry and they'd know what you meant. But that's pretty clear evidence that you are insecure in your masculinity.

ROFL. I knew it was called something else, but couldn't remember!

But yes, I feel gay everytime I ask for one....then it comes to the table and I proceed to drink 3 or 4 of them and I don't care anymore.

What the hell has happened to Carl's Jr? I've gone to 2 different locations in the last 6 weeks, got the Western Bacon Cheeseburger, and it was this flat mess that looked like it should have come from McDonald's or Burger King. It feels like it wasn't that long ago that it was like, an actual burger.

Red Robin's fry sauce is one of my favorites. It has a smoky BBQ flavor and is fucking fantastic with their fries. I dunk the shit out of those bad boys.

Also a fan of the clucks and fries meal they do.

From the article_sl said:
Whataburger will get into supermarket sales by bottling its condiments and making them available at Texas and Mexico H-E-B stores, the company announced Tuesday.

Fancy Ketchup, Spicy and Original Mustard will be for sale this summer.

H-E-B will sell both ketchup varieties in 20-ounce bottles and the mustard in 16-ounce bottles.

Labels will read: "Bottled by Popular Demand", "Wake Up Your Taste Buds" and "The True Taste of a Whataburger."

Bottled condiments will not be available for purchase at Whataburger restaurants at this time.

Wish list: 13 items we wish were sold in stores

Whataburger CEO Preston Atkinson also announced that San Antonio-based Whataburger's Spicy Ketchup will become a permanent condiment at all of its more than 740 restaurants in 10 states.

After introducing the red jalape?o-infused condiment in January 2012 to kick up the popular Fancy Ketchup recipe with some spice, it was a hit among customers.

"H-E-B aisles are about to include more Texas favorites," Atkinson said in a statement. "Our condiments have become nearly as popular as our famous burgers, and with so much customer demand to get their hands on our special ketchup and mustard in larger quantities, it was only logical to bottle them up and make them available first through such a well-respected retailer like H-E-B."

And there is more. H-E-B will also add a new product based on Whataburger's Whatafries.

The H-E-B product is a potato chip version of the French fry, cut from potatoes and available in a 7.4-ounce bag.

"Working together is a natural fit for H-E-B and Whataburger," H-E-B Group Vice President of Grocery Procurement Reade Ahrens said in a statement. "Both H-E-B and Whataburger are Texas institutions that have been serving customers for decades."

I celebrated today by eating more spicy ketchup, I feel sad for anyone whom doesn't have one of these locally.

Whataburger taunts me. We don't have any of them in Missouri, yet we get commercials for them all the time when I'm watching college sports, since Missouri plays teams that are all in states in the South that DO have Whataburger. Every time I see one of their commercials I curse them.

I took a friend of mine on a roadtrip to New Orleans a couple years ago. He had never been to New Orleans, or much out of the state of Missouri in general. I made sure to hit every fast food place on the way that we didn't have access to in KC at the time. We hit a White Castle in St Louis, then a Jack in the Box in Memphis, and a Whataburger in Jackson, MS. From that point we had to drive the rest of the way to New Orleans with the windows down, the gas we were both exuding in the car was just horrible. Worth it though.

Sonic does this to me. I see their commercials several times a day, yet the closest one is a good 2+ hour drive, at least.

We had that problem with Sonic where I live, too... then we got one, and it's not good.

Yea, Sonic sucks ass. They used to be pretty decent just like Taco Bell and Jack in the Box in the late 90's but now their shit is so industrialized to maximize profit it's horribly bland. I'd give 100 bucks for a steak baja gordito from circa 1998 and a Sourdough Jack before their meat turned to flavorless shit.

This thread inspired me to swing by Five Guys for a burger last night. I haven't been there in a couple years, at least. Have the burgers gotten smaller? There were a ton of fries, as always, but I felt like I was eating a slider.
