These are finely tuned professional athletes playing in the NBA Finals, right? Larry Hughes and Damon Jones didn't exactly treat their bodies like temples prior to Game 2 on Sunday night.

Hughes and Jones had a locker room assistant fetch them a meal from Whattaburger, the famous chain fast-food in San Antonio.

Those Cavs love their hamburgers.

[samikeyp]

I miss Whataburger. :depressed

[FromWayDowntown]

Whattaburger


"Whattt"? or should that be "whottt"?

[batman2883]

Its Sooo Good

[SpursWoman]

Whataburger = good stuff. :tu

[Soul_Patch]

fancy ketchup is crack...liquid crack.

you must not know much about pro athletes. they have the metabolism that eating junk before the game actually helps them.

Gilbert Arenas eats a whole pie before every game.

What exactly would come on a whotttaburger?

Yum!

a lot of bread but little meat

whottt...duh.

[steppy]

I don't know. I think they're slippin'. They always put that raunchy lettuce and it looks like someone sat on the buns before I get mine. They could stand to be hotter as well.

And when the fries are fresh, they are great. If they've been sitting though, total shit. No middle ground.

I had a Sonic burger not too long ago and it was 10x the burger.

Chris Madrid's :tu

[Mr. Body]

For a while my midwestern friend thought I was saying 'Waterburger'. You just say it that way.

I miss those in the NE. Better than Steak n Shake.

[Soul_Patch]

yea...i cant stand when they fuck up the fries. I havent been to whataburger in a few months. But there have been plenty of times when the fries were completely garbage...as if they were yesterdays fries revisited.

[Budkin]

Better than Steak n Shake.

Blasphemy! They just got a Steak n Shake here in Austin and I'm thrilled. I've missed that place ever since I lived in Orlando. I do love me some Whataburger though... Whattacatch FTW!

[PM5K]

You don't order the fries, you get onion rings....

[spursincharge]

I'm so happy I live in San Antonio and have 10 Whataburger's within 3 miles.

[MadDog73]

I had a Sonic burger not too long ago and it was 10x the burger. Blasphemy! (I'm not a fan of sonic, except for their drinks).



Chris Madrid's :tu

Overrated, although better than Whataburger, but I don't think you can compare the two. Whataburger = fast food. Whataburger is the equivalent of McD's, Wendy's, Jack in the Box, etc. And I think Whataburger is the best fast-food burger.

Other burger joints (Sam's, Chris Madrid's, Chester's, Cheesy Jane's) are in a class by themselves.

The best burger I've had in San Antonio was $6.85, and from the Magnolia Pancake Haus. The secret? Super-sweet buns. They are awesome, homemade buns, with ground Angus, and fresh toppings.

I urge any burger fan to check it out and let me know what you think.

I don't know...that Sonic burger was super-hot and really fresh. For fast food, it was the best I had in a long time.

I know Chris Madrid's is in a different class but I still dig it. Fuddrucker's too...enjoy their fries.

I've only had Magnolia's breakfast so far, not their burgers. The wait to get into that place discourages me from going.

I was not impressed by their breakfast the one time I went there... but you're right, the wait might have something to do with that.

I've gone a couple of times for lunch on weekdays, no wait.

Highly recommended.

[TampaDude]

FIVE GUYS...best burgers, hands down! They started in the DC area, but are expanding nationwide. Heaven on a bun! :hungry:

what kind of pie?:cooldevil

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Burgers? You're in San Antonio! Get some Taco Cabana! When in Rome, ya know?

[steppy]

The only thing I eat at TC is the Cabana Bowl and that's a rarity. That's another place that has lost its luster with me.

[MadDog73]

Speaking of Mexican, what is the best Taco place in town?

[L.I.T]

Burgers? You're in San Antonio! Get some Taco Cabana! When in Rome, ya know?

Taco Cabana? I miss me some Las Palapas and Bill Miller. Ah, Bill Miller...always a spit in the wind away.

Anyone ever tried Longhorn out on Blanco? Is it still there? Went there once when I was in town.

[Real Tomato Ketchup]

Longhorn is still alive and kick'in and it rocks. Got a second one out on I-10 going to Leon Springs which brings me to my next point. The OG RUDYS!!!! Now that is some good eats! (BBQ BTW)

[steppy]

I haven't been to either of these places in a while but Rolando's Super Tacos and Taco Riendo were good the last time I went.

Longhorn is still there. I've never been overly impressed with them

[SA210]

PikNik!

[samikeyp]

Taco Cabana? I miss me some Las Palapas and Bill Miller. Ah, Bill Miller...always a spit in the wind away.

I hit all three on my last visit. :)

[spurster]

What exactly would come on a whotttaburger?
Humble pie?

[PM5K]

Cream Corn FTW...

[L.I.T]

I hit all three on my last visit. :)

There are better places for mexican and barbeque, but those three are timeless or something. It ain't great, it ain't bad...it's just goodness.

[Real Tomato Ketchup]

Cream Corn FTW...

Hell ya

[cherylsteele]

What exactly would come on a whotttaburger?
Nothing...there is no real substance to it.:D
J/K whott!
I couldn't help it.

[cherylsteele]

I miss those in the NE. Better than Steak n Shake.
I like Whataburger just fine, but when I was in Marion, Ohio, I loved Steak 'n'; Shake.

I thought they were going to come to San Antonio a few years ago....what happened?

[PM5K]

this guy knows how to eat

If you really want to do it right, and don't mind potentially having a heart attack, then you get a shake as well....

[foodie2]

I am a "mystery shopper" for Whataburger, so if anyone has any *specific* complaints about their food not being hot, bad lettuce, etc., and you can give me the specific restaurant involved, I will let their consumer site know. PM me with details.

Fucking NARC....

[foodie2]

Actually, I've never given a really really bad review, especially related to the staff. I hate to dump on people who are making minimum wage if they're trying at all. Usually I try to find something positive to say about the staff member I dealt with so that they will get kudos.

I'm probably too much of a bleeding heart to do this sort of thing, but anyway...I get free meals out of it. :spin

If I have a problem with a company whether it is the food service or whatever, I just leave and email the company directly

[iflyabeech]

Whataburger Rules!!

[SsKSpurs21]

fancy ketchup is crack...liquid crack.

hell freakin yea dude. that ketchup definitely has some type of drug in it. i get large french fries not because i like them, but so i can eat them with the ketchup! :lmao

[Man In Black]

Here in California, the burger of choice is IN-N-OUT Burger.

They are awesome. IF ya can get to Vegas they are out there too.

For years, I've seen many car stickers that show people who have the In-n-Out urge.

[iflyabeech]

Whataburger=TRUE TEXAS

[Clutch20]

Back in college years I worked at the Whataburger in Kingsville. The noon runs were frantic and then being located on the business route whenever a bus would pull in, man. it cranked up to ridiculous.
As I had knowledge of the fries, veggies, buns etc, y'all have it pegged right with the little quirks those items had when they got cold!

[Dilldoe]

haha do spurs fans not dig eating the meat?...haha

[DDS4]

In 'N Out FTW!

[PM5K]

A bit about WB Catchup...

It's without a doubt the best. Whenever I go I always get extra that I set aside for when I get fries from any other place, and there have also been a few times that I got burgers and fries elsewhere and stopped at WB and told them I forgot to get catchup.

When I go to other places I don't even ask for catchup, I use WB catchup or I use what I have at home.

Not only is it damn good, but you get a lot of catchup when you open one, and they are easy to open, rather than opening a half dozen packets....

I flippin hate In-out-Burger, their meat taste rank. The nearest whataburger is in Kingman AZ from Vegas :depressed

I miss chic-fil-a more than any fast food place.

[LoVeNSpuRs]

Chris Madrid's :tu

Mmmmmm. That gave me goosebumpies. :toast

[Tigole Bitties]

Whataburger tastes like ass compared to the west coast's In-N-Out Burger.

[LoVeNSpuRs]

I miss chic-fil-a more than any fast food place.

... Hi. My name is April, and I'm addicted to Chick-fil-A. :D

[J.T.]

Whataburger shuts down hangovers like Bruce Bowen shuts down Lebron James. Very good.

[HJNTX]

Best dang burger in Texas!!!! I love me some Whataburger !!! :p:

[HJNTX]

Taco Cabana? I miss me some Las Palapas and Bill Miller. Ah, Bill Miller...always a spit in the wind away.

Anyone ever tried Longhorn out on Blanco? Is it still there? Went there once when I was in town.
When in Rome ... :blah :blah I wouldn't call TC the place to go for Mexican food for sure .. Azuca's anyone ??? Oh my gosh!!! Their tortilla soup is to die for .. :hungry: Las Palapas has the best beef enchilada's ..

[Darkwaters]

Agreed, Steak n Shake is overrated.

Although, I used to see Chris Paul and Speedy Claxton at the one in Oklahoma City all the time. That and the bowling alley. So Steak n Shake will always have a special place in my heart.

[myhc]

In-N-Out is the best. Fries are weak but the burgers....double double animal style..... :clap

[ClingingMars]

Captain Georges = Best place to eat in Hampton Roads, hands down.

Anyway, my Histoy teacher loves Whataburger, he used to go on and on about them in class...never had one myself though.

-Mars

[TampaDude]

In-N-Out is the best. Fries are weak but the burgers....double double animal style..... :clap

Hell yeah...Animal Style, baby! I used to live in SoCal...In-n-Out is the shit...not as good as Five Guys, though...seriously.

[TampaDude]

How about White Castle? People seem to either love 'em or hate 'em...I love 'em...used to go to Kentucky all the time...they don't have WC around here...and the frozen ones in Publix ain't the same, not even close!

[baseline bum]

Blasphemy! (I'm not a fan of sonic, except for their drinks).

Chris Madrid's overrated!?! Tell me a better burger, cause I gotta get my hands on something that can put Chris Madrid's to shame next time I'm in SA. I've never had a burger anywhere that compares at all to Chris Madrid's cheddar cheezy.

[baseline bum]

In-N-Out is the best. Fries are weak but the burgers....double double animal style..... :clap

What about the shakes? I don't like the Animal Style, but a triple triple and a strawberry shake is the shit. You're right though; the fries are ass.

[TampaDude]

Great burgers AND great fries: www.fiveguys.com

[Death In June]

San Antonio has shitty mexican food. I've only been here for two years though, so maybe I havent been looking in the right place. I don't usually venture out of the northwest side.

You obviously haven't been to the REAL Mexican food restaurants... :rolleyes
The Mexican food here is absolutley amazing....................................

[TampaDude]

When I lived in Virginia, there was this little family-owned Mexican restaurant called "El Paso" right down the road from my house that had food that was off the chain...damn, I miss those tacos al pastor! :hungry:

[Spurfect]

the last two weekends we went to Corpus Christi to the beach for the weekend. they have the "Original" Whataburger right across the beach and for some reason THAT Whataburger tastes really amazing! sooo good we went there both times we were in CC :) and there's an elevator inside! :spin

Chesters... yesssssss...........

[gtownspur]

I had burgers from Sweetwater on Elm St. in Denton once, they were the best!!!!!!

[AlamoSpursFan]

I STRONGLY disagree.

Steak 'N' Shake ROCKS.

And I eat at Whataburger several times a week.

[BlackFlagg]

Check out La Tortillita on FM 78. Technically not in S.A., but close enough.

There's a Whataburger on Staples St. in Corpus that is directly across the street from the Corporate HQ. It's the one they have pictures of in many of the other Whataburgers around the state. That one has the BEST customer service of any fast food joint I've ever been in!

Gotta be on your toes when the CEO might drop in at any time!

Speaking of Corpus, we like the Boat 'n Net. Great mass-produced seafood and fried chicken at prices I haven't seen since the '70s.

2AM drunk burger runs to Whataburger... those were the days. Still good for a quick bite.
