Good, I always called them Burger Shits, for obvious reasons. For a 'flame broiled' burger, Dairy Queen Brazier is marginally better.
By a wide margin in my town, we have both. DQ rules with the best burgers here.
I like small family run smash burger restaurants. It's still fast food but the one I go to occasionally let me come in to their prep room and they actually grind the fresh meat into mince and make paddies using seasoning and then allow you a choice of freshly baked buns. By far the best burger and fries if I'm in the city and need something quick.
I found DQ to be the closest to home made burgers of Wendys, McDs, BK and DQ. I love their #6 --- 3 patties (1/2lb before cooking), 2 slices of different real cheeses, thick fresh slab of tomato, thick cut onion, lettuce, pickles, mayo ... for $6.40 including state tax and senior(over 60) 10% discount. Unbeatable quality and price. Yes, I love a mom & pop burger but they are scarce, most are greasy, the best place I know of locally is about 50 minutes away. BQ is about 5 minutes away.
I think the DQ's are franchised. The ones around me vary, some are good, some are not and some are hit and miss. Luckily a good one is not too much farther from me than the bad one.
They are franchised. I'm lucky the good one here is about 5 minutes away.
