In n Out Frisco...bunch cops there?

There's nothing inherently "Texas" about Whataburger though, other than local sentiments.

It comes from Nolan Ryan being their spokesman for years and the new obviously hick announcer. They aren't exclusively Texas but they did originate and are based here.

I sincerely doubt it, In-n-out has the "mystique" of their secret menu, though I've met several SoCalers that are completely enamoured with the cliche'd Texas that they've seen on TV and the big screen. There's nothing inherently "Texas" about Whataburger though, other than local sentiments.

Except they were born and bred here, their marketing campaign, etc. Whataburger is a TX staple. Always has been, always will be.


You want to talk about not inherently Texas, Texas Road House has nothing to do with Texas.

agreed... Corpus isn't what most people think of when they think "TEXAS"

I don't care where Whataburger is from. I'm a fat boy who has eaten a LOT of burgers in my life... from the crappy fast food level to the restaurant level... all over the nation (and a couple overseas! LOL)

for a fast food quality burger, I'll put Whataburger above anything else I've had... I've had all the regional shit... I/O, Fatburger, Hardee's, Krystal, White Castle, etc.

we shut up some midwest boys who had never had Whataburger one night in Alabama... We were working overnight and some dude walked into the break room with what LOOKED like a Whataburger burger. I said something about it, and the guy was like "yeah, they just opened one about 30min from here"

us TX boys were always talking about missing Whataburger, so here was our chance to 1. get some fucking Whataburger and 2. show the midwest boys what the fuck was up

we took a LONG lunch that night, but it was definitely good times

again, I like I/O burgers fine... There's actually a local place here in Alvin called Dairyland that's been around FOREVER, and their burgers remind me of I/O. But their fries are actually good too! LOL

I do think they'll have to expand their menu in the long run.

I think the simplicity of thier menu is what's helped with their success. Focus on burgers and nothing else. Start getting fancy with other items and lose focus on what they're good at making.

I haven't been to an INO since I was in LA 10 years ago, but I do remember it was a pretty good burger. Lines were rediculous even there.....nothing like yesterday, but still waited 20+ minutes for a damn burger.

Just curious when the last time they changed their menu was....

They haven't and we both know that so try saying what you really mean instead of this vague bullshit.

If they expand to compete with everyone else...they will soon have to expand their menu choices as well. Just my opinion...and exactly why I stated LONG RUN.

I ate at an In-N-Out in Oakland, CA (Off Hegenberger by the Airport) last week. My flight got in nearly 9pm on a Sunday and I hadn't eaten so I figured "In-N-Out won't be busy at this time of night."

Bullshit. I ended up waiting over 30 mins just to get a #1 with Animal-style fries and it was a challenge to find a place to sit. The place was packed. Oakland is clearly not a touristy area and this location appeared to have been around a while. Considering this, I don't see why anyone thinks that In-N-Out is going to fizzle and go out of business in DFW?

The burgers aren't gourmet, but it's better than most fast food burger joints and the price is right, so I think it will do very well. It won't put anyone out of business, but it will hold it's own.

best post yet... Well said. Any ino in cali is packed during 11 to 3 or 5 to 9... It won't be a dying fad, esp if the prices r lower than most anywhere else.

Its not going to put whatashittyburger out of biz, which is a shame, but I didn't say that... I said it will put other buisnesses in vacinity in jepordy of going under... And that whataburger sucks... Lol

Agree to disagree.....

<-- didn't think I was being vague at all.

Look at it this way...how long have they been out of Texas? It's gonna take a long time for them to expand it (I hope) but their biggest claim to fame in my book was being a west coast thing.

Anyone else find it funny that these people wait forever at a place called In-N-Out

Unable to properly use the quote function? I'm not really sure if that makes you more or less competent than reposting in the same thread.

If your "theory" is correct then why didn't they have to change their menu when they expanded into northern california, arizona, nevada etc.....?

At this point are you just speaking to see yourself post?
