Title: Burger perspective
Post by: Stormbringer on May 23, 2004, 09:48:20 pm
What fast food chain served the poorest quality burger? As many here know i would nominate Macdonald's, but I  want to know what chain you think serves the worst burger and why.

White Castle.  They're not nicknamed "Belly Bombs" or "Sliders" for nothing!

Damn. It's been a long long time since I ate at a sonic but they used to be pretty good. Hopefully this is just an isolated incident.

Consider yourself lucky!

White Castle burgers are tiny, maybe no bigger than a half-dollar.  Mostly bun, onions and pickles with just a hint of meat.  They're so small you usually have to buy them in a sack of 10.

Some years ago they ran a promotion "Just Call Them 'Sliders!'"  I was thinking to myself, "Don't these idiots know why they're called 'Sliders?'  It's because they slide right out of you!"  Anyway their marketing department realized this and cancelled the promotion soon after!

No complaints with the local Sonic's around here except that they dropped the steak sandwich from the menu.

Checkers would have to rank as my best burger joint. Not many places where you can still get a good burger for .99 cents.

The worst is definately McDonalds. THey use lo quality beef and they charge WAY too much for their food... and they give money to  Handgun Control Inc.

 I agree MacDonald's is just revolting, I haven't had a decent meal there in about 10 years, Quality control is nonexistent.
 I really like Checkers my self, and Burger King does serve a pretty good burger also.

I generally dislike burgers from fast food chains. I'll eat one from Whataburger and Sonic, and the local mom-and-pop joint (nothing fast about it, but they cook some fine food), but anywhere else I generally decline. The worst burgers? A toss up between Burger King, Wendy's, and McDonalds, in my opinion.

Does it have to be a Hamburger chain??!?  I would nominate Taco Bell personally.  We don't call them Toxic H*|| or Taco H*|| for nothing.  Other than that the only hamburger shop I've had any luck around here is Wendy's.  McDonalds burgers taste like something other than meat, Burger king and the other places turns their burgers into charcoal.  If I'm not eating at Wendy's I'm eating at Subway.

 Taco Smell is indeed some of the most vile slop, I have ever had the misfourtune of eating, Mexican food is great, This crud is not fit for pigs.

In 'N Out Burger....


I also dig Whataburger (can get jalapenos on my burger there) and Wendy's.  The only time I want McDonalds is when I actually want a Big Mac.  On the other hand, my 2-year old is a McNugget Happy Meal fiend...

Here is another Bionc Burger was great when it was one store but after they expanded, it went down hill. But they still have a following, I just wont eat there anymore.

OK, White Castle certainly does have the lowest-quality, per se.  But you go in there knowing that in advance, they are more of a 'specialty' item than a burger.

I'd say MacDonalds.  They really do have revoltingly bad burgers, even compared to other chains.
