Anyway, I've always liked Fuddruckers. I like the toppings bar, the burgers are decent, the fries and onion rings quite good and the desserts are tasty too. It's usually a decent value as well.

not a fan of the 'new' game burgers (boar, elk, buffalo) as while I've enjoyed these burgers elsewhere, I'm assuming that Fuddruckers is putting in too much preservatives in the burgers as well as cooking to well done.

The one bad burger that I mentioned having at Fuddruckers above was a buffalo burger. Guess I'll stick to the regular beef ones!

Try the sweet potato, they are better.

The ostrich burger is really good. Otherwise i go for Beef, but there is a much better burger joint in town, with even better sweet potato fries, so while i like fudds, if I am in ACT (now home), I will not go to Fudds for just a burger.

But they have lots of TVs and good for games, without being a total bar stop.

I haven't been to a Fuddruckers since I was about 8. I remember liking it a lot. The idea that someone thinks McDonalds is the be-all end-all of fast food is silly. McDonald's is the lowest common denominator.

Ruby Tuesday et al are not fast food. They are sit down restaurants.

Wendy's is the best of the national fast food chains, says I.

I think we have a troll on our hands...

Of the truly national ones, I like Wendy's best, although that's not saying a lot.

McD's is certainly not the "least common denominator" except in that they're sort of OK at everything, and have a much broader menu than BK (which does nothing well - IMO the worst food of any of the national chains ) or Carl's/Hardee's (which is going for the same "young and hungry" demographic as BK and does what they do rather more edibly, but lacks any attempt at healthier options) or In'n'Out (which does burgers very well, has the narrowest menu of all.)

Used to be a Fuddruckers in Calgary.. Like it.. noticed that employees were paid pretty good because the laborers are unionized..

Glad to see its still around..

Except when it comes to french fries, in which case they are the gold standard. :D

I used to like Wendy's fries better, but they've since jumped on the bandwagon of over-crispy "natural cut" fries, don't like 'em at all. At least McD's doesn't monkey with successs more than they have to.

I have never understood why people love McDonalds' fries so much. They're oversalted, undercooked, limp, and flavorless (except for the salt). The nail in the coffin for me was watching a DVD extra for Super Size Me, where the McDonald's fries sat in a sealed container for something like six months without decomposing or developing even the slightest hint of mold. :eek:

Its quite simple really. They taste good. Seriously, I very rarely eat fast food due to blood pressure, but when I did MD fries were the best.

Not sure which MD's you went to, but I never had fries that were flavorless.

The miracle of preservatives. :D

They used to be cooked in suet and were pretty good.

But take any shoestring fry and try to make mold grow
on it. Doesn't work. No magic, no preservative, just
natural lack of moisture.

McDonalds fries is amazing.. and Burger King is quite good and tasty as well..

Hmmm. It's been about a year since I've had Wendy's fries. If you mean their fries are now thicker, with skins, and very crispy, I'll make a point to check them out. That's exactly how I like 'em. I usually only find them at certain independent joints. I haven't seen the bandwagon.:)
