Five Guys Coming to Des Moines

Ok, so aside from Wendy's once a year, you don't eat fast food burgers. But you know that B-bops must be worse than all of them?

So you really don't like any fast food burgers, but due to your vast non-existent experience with fast food burgers, B-bops is just terrible.


Good talk Russ.

I've tried quite a few of the regional burger spots. In-N-Out, The Habit, Shake Shack, Whataburger, Five Guys, etc. They are what they are, a good burger, nothing out of this world. With that said, did somebody really rank B Bops as their second favorite? Everybody has their preferences, but they're not top 5 in Des Moines.
 
B-Bops is over rated. The best fast food burger in town is Culvers. Best sit down would be Brick City.
 
Seriously. There is a fast food place called "Runza?" I would like to meet that marketing genius.

Hey they can't claim false advertising, because that's what runzas actually do to you!

Hate actual runzas, but they have decent burgers, and really good chicken strips and fries. And oh that ranch is amazing!
 
I'll keep it going for you. Thinking of striking up something in the grilled cheese thread next. Maybe something about best brand of texas toast to use??

Using fake cheese gets me pretty heated.

Ok, and in that same post you said B-Bops wasn't Top 5 in Des Moines.
So you haven't eaten any fast food burgers besides Wendy's in Des Moines in multiple years apparently, but B-Bops has to be worse than all of them.

Have you ever eaten at B-Bops? Or do you just like to find out something that people like and irrationally argue against it with "funny jokes"?

Defending B-Bops on here is very real.

Places I would go to get a burger in Des Moines:
B & B
Smash Burger
Five Guys
Zombie
Big City
Fuddruckers

I've had B Bops 4 or 5 times with the last two times giving it another chance after reading how good it is on here.

So no actual fast food places, besides Five Guys?

Congratulations. You are officially comparing apples to oranges.

I'd get a burger at a restaurant before I'd get one at B-Bops too.

I've had Five Guys and I wasn't particularly impressed. But maybe that's just me. Everyone has their own tastes and preferences.

I just didn't understand the argument that B-Bops is terrible based on all the of the fast food burgers I never eat.
 
What constitutes fast food?

fast food
ˈˌfas(t) ˈˌfo͞od/
noun
  1. food that can be prepared quickly and easily and is sold in restaurants and snack bars as a quick meal or to be taken out.
    "a fast-food restaurant"

I would also add that having a drive through is generally considered a part of fast food.

Most of the places you listed are not considered fast food, FYI.
 
As far as fast food goes, it's:

1) 5 Guys
2) B-Bops
3) Culvers
4) Everyone else is one big, greasy, not-entirely-comfortable-with-who-handled-your-food pile.

That's a good list. I need to try 5 Guys again. I had it once on the way down to Oklahoma and I just wasn't that impressed. Right now I'd put B-Bops ahead of 5 guys, but that's just, like, my opinion man.

Smash Burger and Fuddruckers both fit that description.
