    Asian Sensation nailed it.

    Their meat taste like soyburgers.

    Do they still have the roast beef? I'll be sure to try every ridiculous burger they got. Looking forward to some good ads, too.

    This was my favorite Whataburger ad:

    Same thing up here in the burbs of Dallas. Here it was because a Taco Bueno opened. Fire marshalls and police had to turn people away from the parking lot because it was too packed. Unreal. I was thinking "it's a damn Taco Bueno... wth?"

    There have been a couple of Carl's Jr.'s here in the Dallas area for years and I like 'em the 3 or 4 times I have a hamburger a year. Much better than Whataburger (blech), which I think gets most of its props just because it's a "Texas institution".

    This'll be interesting to see if Carl's Jr. survives... they tried this before in Texas, and it didn't seem to work out too well.

    Right across the street from my house. I've been pretty stoked about it, but it doesn't really jive with my "stay healthy" 2009 plan.

    Carl's Jr. isn't that geat. It's more comparable to Whataburger.

    It's In-N-Out FTW!

    This is good news for Burger-deprived Texans everywhere who have been eating Waterburger and Sonic their entire lives.

    I'm still on vacation in California, we've had In-N-Out here in Santa Maria and once in Tucson.

    Soooooo good.

    Gonna miss it when I get back to H-town.

    The first place I ever saw a Fatburger was in college station on University Dr.

    When I went to LA, I saw Fatburger and thought...gee that looks familiar.

    You can get the Charbroiled BBQ Chicken Sandwich which has around only 400 calories. Just make sure to eat veggies an fruit with that if your trying to lose weight ;)

    There's a mess of them here in Dallas. I ate there once and it was pretty good. Better than the usual fast food. It's a good place to get a burger and ice cream/shake. Hmm... now you're making me want to visit the place again for the first time in about 5-6 years.

    In-&-Out is slightly overrated. It's not bad, but their burgers are average. Saw dust for fries.

    I prefer Tommy's and Fatburger (and a closet Whopper fan)

    Carl's Jrs is gross. Carl's Jrs is gross. Don't go there. I think they have Mr Pibb

    But I stopped eating that stuff, only fast food for me are taco stands

    I got through college the last 4 years b/c of the 24 hour Carls Jr. by the school.

    Love their Famous Star (only a little over a $1) and their $6 burgers.

    Only warning I will give you guys is that at times, their microwaves aren't working properly so you will get a cold burger. That happened to me once and I didn't go there for like a month. That was nasty.

    I was also addicted to their chili-cheese fries! Grease-filled and oozing w/ fat, but that **** is good!

    Not as good as In-N-Out, but still pretty good.

    Agree w/ the fries comment, but In-N-Out burgers are amazing.

    You have to know the secrets of ordering at In-N-Out and only then will you realize how amazing those burgers are!
