Fast Food - A "Guilty" Pleasure….

I think Wahlbergers has beer,but I was really disappointed with their burgers.
I'll have to check them out. The Wahlbergs are my heroes. Heh
There's a place in Pittsburgh, in Lawrenceville, called Burg'ers next to my friends tattoo removal business that has awesome beer and burgers. But, they are pretentiously expensive. I'm probably too white trash to eat there. But I like having a few beers after I get laser removal.

I've lived in Wisconsin my entire life. About 90 miles east of Sauk City, where Culver's first began. They've been around these parts for quite some time. Around here, as burger joints go, they are in the tier just above McDs/Burger King/Wendy's, and the like. Don't get me wrong, for the sake of convenience, I will eat there before the aforementioned garbage vendors. But, there are dozens of burger joints around the Milwaukee area I would go to first.

I had a shake once from Culver’s and it was very runny. It wasn’t one of their concrete mixers but still, it was pretty awful as far as shakes go

@Megatron1505 well done.
@Matty123 Can't believe you mentioned The Corner Bistro. When Twin and his brother came to NYC for a recent visit,I told them we had to go to this place called The Corner Bistro for the Bistro Burger. They loved it. For years in the seventies that was my hangout bar. Next time you come to NYC,we're going.
The Bistro Burger
Yes @Jett129 probably the best burger I’ve ever had. And yeah man, lets def go.

My daughter and I go for the concrete mixers about once a month. They're a pretty good treat. The frozen custard by itself is average, though. That's another thing I could name at least a dozen other places I would go to first. The custard choices around here are phenomenal.

That's not a burger… That's a freakin' monument. I know where I'm going, if I ever make it to NY, again.

There's a place, here in Milwaukee, founded about 25 years ago, called Sobelman's. I believe they have recently expanded to 3 or 4 locations around the area. The burgers are pretty damned good. But, there claim to fame is the bloody marys you can have with the beef…
Oh, and with chicken, too…
-
I saw that on man vs. food! The chicken beast!
The burger at the corner bistro isn’t huge but it’s just the best quality and cooked so well. They cool them to order under a salamander broiler. Fresh. And the place is open til like 4am

Arbys is extremely underrated IMO. I wouldn't say it's my favorite fast food chain but I do really like it and it never gets the love it deserves.
Chik-Fil-A is good but never fills me up…waffle fries are bomb though and yes, the customer service is literally the best as far as fast food chains go.
White Castle is extremely overrated IMO. That shits just not good and I don't know why all the Midwesterners/East Coasters go ape shit over it.
I also don't think it's fair to lump fast food burgers in with Resteraunt burgers when we are rating best burgers. They should be two different categories.
-
My favorite guilty pleasure/shitty fast food place…Jack In The Box. I can't think of another fast food place that has a menu with such variety. If you aren't from the west coast/western US you may have never heard of them but next time you're out here visiting sometime give them a shot....preferably when it's 2:30 a.m. after a night of drinking.

Guess we love our fast food.
I ate at in n out one time in the 9 years I lived in CA. It was okay. Ate at a shake shack once to try it: OK. Never been one for fast food burgers, or fast food in general, really. Now a fancy burger in a restaurant though, sometimes tempted.
Chick-fil-A is a fond memory from childhood, but I can’t patronize—their corporation actively lobbies against gay rights.

True. And almost exclusively Americans on it [emoji1]

In Melbourne, I like The Burger Project and 8-Bit. Thaiger do some interesting Asian fusion takes on burgers. @louisbosco remind me to take you to one of these next time you're over.
In Sydney, The Burger Project and Moo Gourmet Burgers are good. Moo also have the best view of any fast food joint I've been in, looking over Bondi Beach.
In London, Hawksmoor and Meat Market / Meat Liquor.
And in Amsterdam, Burgermeester is my favourite. Burgerbar aren't bad either, but the best fries I've found there are from the Vlaams Friteshuis Vleminckx.
In n Out are OK, but I agree that they're overrated. I think that all of the above are better.

Yep, there are no burger bars where I live. MacD and B King in the towns but nothing else I can think of.
Baguette, Indian, Pizza / Kebab and Chip shops are everything here.

Pretty sure the fast food topic was started by a Brit

Yeah, but he wants to be an American.
