Anyone tried the new Whataburger in Raleigh (or any other locations across the country)? What are the best menu items? How does it compare with Cookout?

These are some other fast food places I want to try but haven’t. How would you rate them on a scale of 1 to 10? Reason?

-Jack in the Box - used to laugh at the name and the strange commercials, haven’t tried it because it’s mainly West Coast

-In-N-Out Burger - same reason

-Jollibee - nearest one is in Virginia Beach

-Long John Silvers - curious but never gave it a shot, looks like they’re still in Winston-Salem and Asheville

-White Castle - I see their frozen sliders at Food Lion but I’m sure they’re not the same as the restaurant’s

-Culver’s - has Wake Forest location

-Del Taco - has Durham location

-Krystal - Wilson has one

Culvers i liked, only had it once

Whataburger is a texas thing i think is over rated, but pretty good. I like cookout more, and feel like it would kill here

Jack in the box i had like 2nd week i moved to texas, haven't had it since. Wasn't bad, wasn't worth going to over other places

LJS i have like once every 10 years

They just opened a white castle in The Colony which is real close to me, but i haven't been. Was like the first of those in texas



You ever had raisin canes? I like them more than zaxbys but pretty much is the same thing

^^Yeah, they just opened a Raising Cane's on Hillsborough Street near the campus. Checked it out when I was in the States. The chicken and sauce were good. Liked the atmosphere despite all the State memorabilia.

The salads (or "Zalads") at Zaxby's are fire when I'm looking for a slightly healthier option than just tenders and fries.

^^is it someone with multiple accounts talking to themselves or something?

I figured we were trickery-free around here at our age, but apparently not
