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

definitely some sort of tomfoolery

5/11/2026 10:33:32 PM

I have only one account. But we all know BubbleButt and Ti**yTwister are the same person.

I get a standard Whataburger. It's ok, tastes like its boiled a lot of the time. Bunless version really sucks. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/-jsmG3i1lW4

They are horrible and basically like prison food fried in old grease. Oh and they kill pregnant ladies:

In-N-Out is the shit. Bunless burger is some how better than the burn version. Fries are mealy despite being made from fresh potatoes. Get grilled chilis on it if you get one. They are expanding and have a few nashville locations after relocating their head quarters.

Only had it around when I was 15 and it tasted like fried plastic or something.

Watch the movie skip the burger.

Pretty good, opposite problem of What-a-burger. Very crisp where it tastes like a burger chip on a bun. Lots of browning but little meaty unctuousness you expect from a burger. Always very clean, shakes are bomb. Fries like any fry from a grocery store.

Ate it in California in 2004. Lived in California 2004-2005 and 2011 - 2022. Never had a reason to eat it more than once. It opened where I live in Florida and I also never thought to go. It closed in about 6 months after it opened. Meh

I'm sure Crystal the retired stripper with 5 babies from 5 babies daddies works here. Would not go unless you like meth or played out strippers. Likelihood of meth accidentally ending up in your burger is high.

Also, you should never eat any of this shit.
