In 2002-2003 I travelled to Anaheim every other week. Found Rubios (Cali-based “Baja” seafood fast food) that had an incredible lobster taco (fish was good too). That, a good Thai place, and the Huntington/ Newport beaches made the trips bearable.
Drove out there in February to visit my uncle and searched out a Rubios. Not bad but nowhere near as good as 20+ years ago
Best fast food burger in America? Not Whataburger nor In and Out. It’s The Habit.
I have to admit, we eat the Habit more than any other burger, mainly due to In N Out always having a long line, and Habit is easy to order on the Iphone. I’ve always enjoyed both, but my son prefers The Habit.
I actually order my Habit burger how I used to order my Whataburger. Cheeseburger with Lettuce, Pickles and Mustard, and that’s it. It’s pretty damn good.
I accidentally ate at the original Habit in Santa Barbara during Covid. I didn’t know it was the original, and it was more of a beach burger shack type place when I arrived.
I’m sure Habit Burger is good. I have never tried it. But I have to question this ranking when they have Jack in Box cheeseburger third over the rest of that ranking. Ain’t no way that Jack in the Box is better than Whataburger, or most of that ranking, for that matter.
Come on. I love WB, but if you’ve had them a bunch, you’re bound to have gotten one that wasn’t very good.
Anyway, your bad burger experience at the new place in Katy really doesn’t bear on the fact that they make good ones elsewhere. I have no reason to prop them up, but they were better than any In-and-Out burger I’ve ever tried.
