It's a Buc-ee's move. I'd like to see WhataBurger pull the same thing.
WhataBurger just entered TN and they are scouting Greenville SC for a location.
If you've never had it then prepare to be underwhelmed. The worst fries hands down.
When I hit the Dallas area and LAX airport, In-N-Out is usually the first stop.
I got hooked on Whataburger during a trip to Dallas several years back.
Both will do some significant damage to the current east coast chain burger business!
I vaguely recall a place called "Whataburger" in either Augusta or North Augusta decades ago -- no idea what happened to it. I would definitely like the Texas one to come east though!
Awesome first job for many kids in high school. I don't get the raves about the food, but I do like the consistent quality and service. Before Chick-fil-a it had no competition in the area of service in the fast food category, IMHO.

I can make a better burger myself than just about anywhere, but I have to admit I am curious, just not a enough to drive 7 hours to Tennessee
They used to have a Whataburger in Starke, Florida. I don't know if it's still there. I would pass it on the way to see my Grandparents in St. Petes before they passed.
I have known of other burger places that have used a version of that name, but the Texas (San Antonio-based, I believe) Whataburger is inimitable. It's terrific. Whataburger has locations in 10 states, but aren't that numerous outside of Texas.

I know of east locations in Birmingham and Pensacola for Whataburger.
I've never eaten at a Whataburger, but I really don't know how a fast food burger place could be "special." Seems like there's only so much you can do with burgers and fries. Nonetheless, I like the idea of having another option to work into the rotation.
Good point, I've never had a special fast food burger before. You've got to up the quality a bit.
Never been, so I can't talk much about it.
It's just my experience, though, when these iconic places expand and get geographically further away from their origin, it's never the same.

I think that is generally true. But, I will say the Chick Fil As in Kalispell, MT and Idaho Falls, ID handle a double cork-screw drive-thru line that wraps around the shopping center just as wizardly as the ones in the south.
It's the one restaurant that seems to defy all of the usual assumptions.
They are masters of efficiency for sure.I think that is generally true. But, I will say the Chick Fil As in Kalispell, MT and Idaho Falls, ID handle a double cork-screw drive-thru line that wraps around the shopping center just as wizardly as the ones in the south.
One town over from where I live there is a Chickfila that could never keep up. Even with modifying the drive thru, the line always backed into the road. So they built a much larger one on the opposite side of the road exactly 1 mile away. But they didn't close the other one. So there are two Chickfila restaurants exactly 1 mile apart. on the same road and they are both always busy.
We just got a Buc-ee's and a What-A-Burger here in Huntsville. Nashville is a little over an hour away...great news!
WHY, for the love of all things holy, are the people who make CFAs so efficient not running EVERYTHING? I mean really. Can we get some of those folks in DC to straighten it out?I think that is generally true.

Had a few of those in California a few years ago. Honestly I didn't think they were that great. I would put Rush's way over that crew in taste.
I've eaten at all the above in my travels...NOBODY CAN BEAT PAL'S
In-N-Out Burger is one of my first stops when I hit Dallas or LA - Animal Style is the way to go!
I may be weird for thinking this, but in my experience fresh cut potatoes (like they do at In-N-Out) do not make as good french fries as from frozen.
I think I saw a video on McDonald fries on YouTube and they need to be soaked in water to get the starch out before cooking.Might be why.I assume most restaurants have theirs done this way.
I'll stick with my occasional Hardee's Monster Angus Burger. Vegetables aren't really my thing.
"Our Monster Burger® includes two charbroiled Third Pound 100% black angus beef patties, 4 strips of bacon, 3 slices of melted American cheese and mayonnaise, served on a toasted potato bun."

They here good people and pay them an above average wage. They have high standards and work tirelessly to uphold them. They also appreciate your business.
Interesting... at In-N-Out they just put whole potatoes in the slicer thingee, push down the handle, and from there they go into the fryer. There's no soaking involved. I assume the frozen ones get misted with water before being flash frozen.
