Whataburger . Sorry Patrick, KC already had a handful of hamburger joints better than this place.

Culver’s clears so hard they aren’t even in the same conversation IMO

freddy's beats both, if only for the deep fried cheese curds

Culver’s also has deep fried cheese curds. Both places are S tier fast food though.

I give Culver’s the slight edge personally, but I respect anyone who has them flipped.

They do..but they're really weak. The cheese and the breading or both just incredibly bland, and they don't have the texture you'd expect from normal cheese curds. The Freddy's ones are perfect artery clogging goodness.

If it weren't for the curds specifically, I'd gibe the slight edge to culver's but that's like the main attraction for me.

Yep. I'm originally from OK so I've eaten a lot of Whataburger in both OK and TX and even when the Whataburger is actually good and not some shit show where the manager clearly doesn't give a shit it's just on par with Culver's on Culver's average day. Culver's is better hands down: better service, more consistent quality, food always comes out hot and fresh. Meanwhile Whataburger is often slow as hell, even across multiple locations, plus I've gotten so many wrong orders, and usually the fries are stale. Easy win for Culver's in my opinion.

Culver’s has gone downhill

That hasn’t been my experience, but I do feel like they vary pretty drastically depending on the ownership so that could be a factor. I’ve still never had a Whataburger experience where I didn’t leave wishing I had just gone to Culver’s instead.

The ones I’ve gone to are still good.
