They're a perfectly good basic fast food hamburger; my objection is to the notion that I "don't know what to order" - "gimmick" refers to such things as "animal style" and "4x4s" and fries "well done."

I've ordered a cheeseburger (once), a hamburger (once), and since then get my usual "hamburger with ketchup instead."

They're a lot better thank McD's or BK or Jack in the Box, maybe a little bit better than Wendy's, A&W or Carl's if the narrower burgers-only-menu doesn't turn you off.

Then again, they're not close to the "not-quite-fast-food" or "diner light" places like Nations or Taxis at the cheap-end or Johnny Rockets at the expensive end.

So you have to order them special to get those???
