    Whataburger.

    CiCi's Pizza would be a number 2. (buffet is close enough to fast food in my book)

    In general, Whataburger.

    But there was a Sonic in Uvalde that had the single best fast food burger I've ever had. Stopped there many a time on the way to the deer lease. Not sure why, not sure what they did differently, but that stuff was unbelievably good.

    Sonic is all over (though not everywhere). And DQ IS everywhere.

    Certainly Whataburger wins this one..

    I had to look it up, because since leaving Texas I've lived in Minnesota, Vermont, and California and none of them have had a CiCi's... CiCi's is headquartered in Coppell, TX, but you're right, it is found in a lot of other states (just not where I've been) so my bad.

    No Cici's in Cali. Might be a good thing though. $5 for all the grease you can eat with a sprinkle of salmonella.

    Last time I went to Whataburger it took 20 minutes to get my food and I sat at my table forever with that stupid plastic number thing looking like an idiot. I hate that place.

    That could apply to small towns in Minnesota and Iowa.

    Until I see a Whataburger up here in the Great White North I'm going with Whataburger. FYI There's a Sonic in St. Paul Minnesota.

    I live in Savannah, GA now. Used to live in Houston/San Antonio.

    I really miss Whataburger and Taco Cabana. Nothing like that here.

    Whataburger is gross, yet you vote for Taco Cabana??


    Taco Caban has some of the nastiest food I've ever consumed.. Their refried beans taste like bland dry bean dip.. when you put it in your mouth it feels like toothpaste. I've tasted fresher rice in frozen TV dinner entrees. I can't believe they advertise making their name on their tacos.. Cold, dry, over-spiced (as in spices, not heat) fajitas with even colder, day old flour tortillas?

    Meanwhile.. Whataburger sports the freshest veggies(tomatoes especially) of all the large burger franchises, an actually toasted(not just promoted like BK) bun, MUSTARD not mayo as standard on their burgers, and a burger patty that tastes like beef (tad better than Burger King's charrbroiled patty). Best onion rings of the large burger franches, best ketchup aswell.

    Gross is a poor argument against pretty much anything when you're in favor of Taco Cabana.... :eek:

    I think Whataburger takes this one as well. But PLEASE somebody stop that ANNOYING Whataburger commercials on the radio. The one with a guy going to Arkansas and the "wahoo scoreboard for Texas!"

    On a side note, when I first moved to the states (Houston) I've always thought that I would see Steak houses everywhere.
