mrflynn03 Posted November 22, 2023 Report Share Posted November 22, 2023 (edited) If you ever find yourself around Danville,Illinois get on hwy 1 and drive south toward Westville. It isn't far. You'll find Gross' Burgers. It's a play on his last name. The token fish sandwich cracks me up, so does huge drink with the special. It's all about the beef. Ground fresh daily. My go to is the Double Mozz. the Gross' fries come in a sack. They are similar to McD's fries but so much better.

I would put DQs flamethrower burger and the baconator higher on the list. 5 guys is great but I'd leave them off because of how you can customize your burger. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t even really have two people eat at McDonald’s for $15 anymore. If I ever get over that way I’ll check them out for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had many a Krystal when I lived in Florida... Comparable...They do put mustard on a standard Krystal... But yeah, they taste a lot alike... If you're ever in Nashville, you can try them both and compare 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a homer raised by a guy that on Sunday when we moved to NW Illinois we'd drive to the nearest White Castle (Joliet) for our Sunday Dinner.....but Krystal is close minus the mustard part.

Enjoy! I think I've told this story before, but... From 1963 to 1977 my dad and I got free tickets to the Indy 500 from a spinster aunt who worked at the Clabber Girl baking powder factory in Terre Haute, which was owned by Tony Hulman... Every year on race day, the old man would call the White Castle in Greenwood, and order 100 singles at 17 cents a piece... We'd pick them up on the way... Between munching and selling a few (at a profit of course) the old man could, as he used to say, "cover his nut." 🙂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zlinedavid Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 I don’t live within 800 miles of one, but I’m an In-n-Out fanatic. Fortunately, my company’s home office in Dallas is 2 blocks from one, so I get my fix a few times a year. 2x4, whole grilled onion, pickles, chilis, spread, well done Animal style fries, vanilla shake. Manna from heaven. ❤️ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manna from heaven. ❤️ I had In and Out last week while in Phoenix. I stop in every couple years. Have to say I was rather disappointed. It's a cheap burger. Even their milkshake disappointed. I'd go there over McDonald's but so many better choices out there now. I prefer Wendy's and BK among the fast food places. Even Steak n Shake. Portillo's, 5 guys and a host of others are several notches better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whataburger has a sweet and spicy burger that's killer diller... Burger King, at least down here, is the worst. Last 2 Whoppers I've gotten had stale buns and lettuce that was so wilted it probably would have given me the jakes for 2 weeks if I hadn't taken it off...

Drroogh Posted April 2 Author Report Share Posted April 2 So the local Arby’s seems to be one of the test franchises for a line of burgers. I had the deluxe today not bad for a fast food restaurant. Maybe they will end up going nationwide? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
