Best burgers in town

by zot79

We go here for burgers and fries, and occasionally the shakes. We haven't tried the chili, that's something new. Fatburger won us over because it's better than most chains and quicker and cheaper than Red Robin. Yes, they can be crowed. And sometimes its difficult to communicate with the counter staff. But they are always friendly and eager to please and the food comes out pretty quick.

• Pros: great burgers, good fries and shakes
• Cons: sometimes difficult to order

TERRIBLE experience!

by MatronLolth

My husband and I decided to give Fatburger a try, since I've heard about them, and I've never been there before. I ordered a turkey burger with a cup of chili (mind you, a cup of chili was $3.00). When our food finally came out, the cup of chili was very small, half empty, and it looked like something you would find in a porta potty. No beans, extremely oily, and the meat was literally liquified. I tried it, and it tasted like the worst burnt meat I have ever tasted. How can they charge $3.00 for this? Is it universally like that, or is this one just a bad branch?

The people who work at the Redmond branch spoke no english at all, so when I tried to get my money back, they didn't understand, and I just gave up. Terrible service, and WAY overpriced! The burger was decent, but for the money we spent, we could have gone out to a nice restaraunt with 10 times better food.

I will never go there again, and am curious as to why they're still in business... atleast the one we went to.

Do all the franchises have the same disgusting chili?

• Pros: The burger wasn't terrible...
• Cons: Way overpriced, and the worst chili I have ever seen AND tasted...

Average Burger

by gwaltney53

Nothing special in my book. The meat to bun ratio was just acceptable. This really should be much higher given the price. Pros: The patty was fine and there was lots of lettuce, tomato and onion on top. Cooked right, not overdone, and slightly pink in the center. Nice counter help and good service on my visit. Clean dinning room and restroom. Cons: Typical mushy white bun, un-toasted. Yellow mustard and mayo spread a bit too thick. The fifties decor has been done to death. I find it boring. The fries and onion rings were mundane. Offers a slight improvement over the average chain burger but not anywhere near a great burger, not even close.

• Pros: Clean
• Cons: Overpriced
