There is no significant difference between Whataburger, in n out, and shake shack when talking about the burgers themselves. The fries are the difference and Whataburger has the best of the 3.


Disagree. Shake shack is a much better burger.

I don’t think In n out is that good and I despise their fries.

i am pretty familiar with all three. i think whataburger is easily the weakest. i think their bbq chicken strip sandwich is an all time great fast food item. im not a fan of the burger or fries



I agree, even though I like Whataburger

Whataburger is high end traditional fast food. In and Out and Shake Shack, to me, are somewhat fast casual (Shake Shack is legit fast casual).

I don't think any of them is "much better" than the others. In n out and shake shack are super similar old school, small patty burgers while whataburger is bigger. They're all the same quality though.

Shake shack uses frozen ore Ida fries though.

I've only been to shake shack once but I'm not sure I get the love. The burger was OK but the fries not good, not good at all. Whataburger is way better than shake shack.

Ok, I say we all chip in and buy Whataburger back. Make honey butter chicken biscuits available all day, add kolaches to the menu and change nothing else. Especially not the ketchup.

Whataburger is to Texans what Johnny’s Pizza is to North Louisiana natives & residents. They both will defend them with every ounce of their being.

Make the spicy strawberry chicken biscuit a regular while we're at it.

Whataburger is cheaper than McDonald's in a lot of cases too. A #1 is like $7.

You are welcome to your opinion.

I think shake shack is way better. Put me along a pettifoger.

Fries: meh. Makes a better fry. You do know they went fresh cut and customers demanded the old fires back. Taste better than Whata.

Whataburger will go down hill now on the service side imho (just like Popeyes did back in the day). The difference, Popeye's still has a quality product that can overcome super shitty service. Whataburger is a good burger, but when/if service declines, it isn't a good enough product to overcome it.

FWIW, In n Out is a pretty damn good burger, but waaaay over-rated imho. Maybe it just doesn't live up to the hype in spite of it being a quality fast food burger. Oh yeah, frick their shitty fries.

In N Out is the most overrated fricking restaurant on the planet. It’s good, but it doesn’t sniff Whataburgers huge greasy nuts.
