Fuddruckers

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Do they have 'em in Texas? Inquiring minds want to know.

[fraga]

Yes...yes they do...

[Blake]

they've been here for at least 20 years.

they seem like they're just barely hanging on, but I love their burgers.

[SpursStalker]

Over priced for a burger that really isnt all that good.

There are better places ....

IMHO

[JudynTX]

I haven't had a Fuddruckers burger in years. Am I missing something? :lol

solid burger. fresh baked bun helps make it. fries are good too.

i think they close too early though, like around 8 on weeknights? they need to be open till 10 and sell cheap pitchers. you can still embrace the family crowd, but don't shun the burger/beer/sports watching crowd.

think they started in TX too

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

The quality must depend on ownership somewhat, because the three out here in ABQ are terrific. I never see them when I travel through Texas and never hear anyone mention them, so I wasn't sure if they had found their way there yet.

I guess that answers my question though.

Lucky headphones by the way, Spursstalker.

The ones here are open late and offer beer specials at night, and each one probably has 20 TVs. They're more of a sports bar in the evening. The franchise must give some decision making power to the individual unit owners because it sounds like they're all a little different.

I have been to some around the country that are awesome, and others ... not so much.

By the way, how's your boy? And why is the SPAM rotten this year?

[Frenzy]

like 3 in san antonio one near ingram last time i checked.

Chopper Jr. is awesome. 5 1/2 already if you can believe it. I'll post a pic or two here soon.

I don't know what's wrong with the Spam. I almost didn't even do a Spam post this year, and now I wish I'd of stuck with my gut instinct and passed this year by. Manu's health had me worried from the start of the season.

[Goliadnative]

They started in San Antonio per their website.

[peewee's lovechild]

Fuddruckers is allright.

Best burgers in town can be found either at Sam's Burger Joint or the Longhorn Cafe, though.

[ashbeeigh]

mmm. That sounds like a good downtown lunch. One downtown, one on Ingram and 410 and one in the Collanade?

[JudynTX]

Do they have chili burgers?

[David Bowie]

I tried it the first time in Connecticut (Foxwoods) this year. They were pretty solid. Good food, not overly priced imo, and I enjoyed the burger bar. Plus, it plays music that I enjoy.

and one at 410/Broadway behind the bank building

WOW time flies. It seems like he was just born. Are we getting old? ;)

Yeah, it sucks!

[Blake]

they are overpriced if you eat a combo by yourself. 1/3 lb, fries and drink I think runs close to $8.

If you don't mind sharing and you can do it, the way to go to save $ is to get the 1 lb burger and split it

[samikeyp]

Actually found one in Michigan recently...good stuff.

[mexicanjunior]

Fuddruckers is good here in Dallas, I have one about 5 minutes from my house. The best part about them is they have nacho cheese and chili out with the condiments, so you can have chili cheese fries everytime with no upcharge...

[CosmicCowboy]

Yeah, Fuddruckers started in San Antonio. The original was between Broadway and Nacogdoches. That was Frank Romano,s 1st franchise...He later started Macaroni Grill and Rudys BBQ and Eatsies to name a few others...

Fuddruckers was awesome when he first started it but really went downhill when he sold it...We won't eat at the one at Wurzbach and I10 anymore because it is so dirty...

[koriwhat]

i used to love the one off broadway/naco when i was a kid... now of days, eh.

the buns were what sold ya on the burger though.

I knew he started Macaroni Grill, but I didn't know he started Rudy's.

The guy that started PF Changs also started Flemming's Steakhouse.

[ploto]

They let me order a kids meal which is just the right size and a better price.

[Drachen]

Yes...yes they do...

Fuddruckers #1 is in San Antonio, it is behind the SACU buildings near 410 and broadway near Arjohns.

Great Chili Cheese fries and the best (by a mile) honey mustard ever. The burgers are above average.

WTF? There was one by SMU and I didn't know this when I lived there? That's a load of crap!

[Das Texan]

they have buffalo burgers and any place that serves that good stuff is great by me.


buffalo meat is so much better than cow meat....

[DPG21920]

IMO, Chesters or Biff Buzby's are the best burgers in SA.

[Dex]

Fuckrudders?

Or Ruddfuckers?

[peewee's lovechild]

Biff Buzby's??

That's one I never heard of.

[DPG21920]

Wow, ridiculous burgers. Basically this restaurant is named after a fictional WWII fighter pilot (that the company made up an entire story about). The best burger I have had in SA and the other food is good as well (fried pickles, jalapenos, beans, hot dogs...)

It is off of 35 and Topperwein.

I think they also have a classic car night on Fridays where everyone brings their customs and hot rods out.

[Mark in Austin]

went to the original at least a couple time a month with the fam growing up. Back when they were still a simple burger joint and not trying to be Hard Rock lite w/ fast expansion and all the bullshit decoration.

Will still go from time to time to the ones in Austin, but it is purely from nostalgia. The burger used to be top of the line; now it's just average. The meat isn't the same quality it used to be.

Are you talking about Fuddruckers or Biff Buzby's?

[johnsmith]

Longhorn Cafe FTW.

[exstatic]

I get a Jones for FR every few months, and shoot down to the near Broadway location for lunch.

Greenville and Lover's

Ya, I used to live right by there in the village. Love that part of town. Never really ate at Fuds because I had it so much as a kid growing up in SA, and I just do not eat a lot of burgers.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Chris Madrid's >> Buttfuckers

Never heard of Buttfuckers. When did the Bonham change its name?

[urunobili]

I have been to several Fuddruckers in Dallas and in Houston...

BTW the best burger in the US is Bennigans Blue Cheese one... by far... second place would be Chili's Blue cheese one...

[jman3000]

i haven't been to a Fuddruckers since my flag football team had their trophy ceremony when i was like 7.

[ploto]

Chris Madrid's is all kinds of awesome! :worthy:

The appeal of this place is somehow lost on me completely. I have been there a ton of times and just don't see it.

Greenville and Lover's

my friend's apartment was right near there, he went to SMU. About two blocks from "The Spot."
