Burger Fi’s prices got out of hand.

Culver’s is the only fast food we eat, a few times a yr. Great burger.

Use to see a lot of TV commercials for them and they have a pretty big menu. If they were closer I might frequent them and see if they're good or not.

They have hot dogs on their menu. I like hot dogs and not many (if any) places by me sell them these days.

Been to Sonic a few times over the years. All three of us got food poisoning at one time or another in two different states. Will never go back.

Hmm... never heard that before. Guess I'm better off not going there.

Heard of food poisoning from Chipotle and more recently from the raw onions at McDonald's. Now Sonic. Best to keep our eyes and ears open.

Burger Fi filed for Chapter 11. Not sure what happened to them but I know they acquired Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza a few years ago. Guessing they probably took on too much debt, growth didn't materialize as they projected and the bill came due. We'll see if they survive. If they do they will likely have to scale down and close bad locations. A lot of players in the space including Five Guys and Shake Shack and those stores are not cheap to build out.

Don't get me started on Anthonys. That use to be my favorite pizza hands down and it has been going downhill since they sold it. We don’t even go there anymore. They changed the cheese or the sauce or both but they totally killed what made the pizza so good. Then they started adding a bunch of other shit to the menu.

I haven’t been to one in a long time but screwing that up could have brought down the entire BurgerFi company. Not smart to mess with the ingredients that made the pizza popular right after buying the company.

We had one at the mall, and the university, and neither did any decent business (the one in the mall closed due to being unclean).

A few years later they open a free-standing store and it has been balls to the wall ever since. I mean, if they weren't who they are I'd suspect they sold their souls to the devil, it's that big of a contrast.

I like their food (when I don't get a weird bite), but I don't like it that much.

The one I go to -- on Walton Blvd in Bentonville AR -- is pretty good. I've had crispy chicken sandwiches (regular & spicy), pork tenderloin and fish sandwiches, and hamburgers.

I don't order shakes/malts or soft drinks. Nor have I ordered any desserts. I order just a sandwich and once in a while fries and at least once I've tried the onion rings which were pretty good.

An In n Out opened in Livermore CA -- where I lived -- and I tried the food. At first the place was jammed. 'course I picked a time when the place wasn't too busy. The food, hamburger, was ok. But not sufficiently good enough to keep me coming back. I have never tried any other location.

Near where I worked in Hayward CA a Five Guys opened. Tried the food when it first opened. Hamburger, fries. Was pretty good. I didn't eat there very often but after some time the quality had dropped. I stopped eating there.

There's a Five Guys on the corner of SW 14th Street and S Walton Blvd and I pass by there lots but I've never visited the place.

Did try the Whataburger place across the street from Five Guys. Ho hum.
