    Are not so mighty fine.

    Every time I go to the Chipotle off Mopac (near Braker), Mighty Fine is always PACKED. I decided to venture in there today, and after champing into my burger I decided my money would have been better spent had I given it to Aggy for gene transmission prevention. Of course, that's a noble cause in and of itself, but I digress...

    Bottom line, the food at Mighty Fine blows and is overpriced. Whataburger, Sandy's, Dan's, Hut's, hell even Chili's all own this place.I will not be returning.

    Glad you are too cool to like it, please don't go back. Lines are too long as it is.

    To be fair, I did'nt really see where the guy implied that he was "too cool" for the joint. From what I read, it looked like the guy was implying that the food was crap.

    While the fries suck, the burgers are really good.

    I do think it's somewhat pricey for what you get.

    Fries, however, should be crispy on the outside and delicious on the inside. Not quite crunchy, but also not mushy (unless at Whataburger...)

    I'll go on the record and say that whataburger's fries suck. This all has nothing to do with the topic I know, but burger king's fries are supreme.

    I think Dirty's sucks. For burgers in Austin, my favorites are Huts and Players.

    Nobody goes to Mighty Fine anymore -- it's too crowded.

    Wendy's fries are awful. Soggy, limp, flavorless.

    I made my own Fuddruckers today and it was pretty damn great.

    Chik-fil-a fries are the best, how are you going to argue with waffle fries, oh right you can't.

    Mighty Fine is very solid, coming just short of spectacular. Love me some of those fries.

    As another said, please don't go back. They're doing just fine without you, and I'd rather the line not get any longer.

    If you haven't been to Jack in the Box in a while, in addition to their seasoned curly fries(which are decent), they now serve natural 'hand cut' fries. They are very good. My favorite J 'n B items are their egg rolls, tacos and the Supreme Sausage breakfast sandwich.

    Except for the one that matters most to many college students, especially dudes. The following ratio: [Amount of food present] / Cost.

    I'm sure things have changed in the 28 years since I worked at Wendy's, but at the time, their beef was 100% USDA choice, locally sourced on a daily basis, and never frozen. We did salt it on the grill, but you can ask to have your burger made without salt.

    The sauce overpowers the salt. It's ok, not spectacular. That Jalapeno baconator looks good.



    I'm not gonna lie, sometimes I crave a big mac over other burgers. Weird.

    My favorite burger and fries in Austin is at Ski Shores. Anyone ever eat there? They never seem to pop up on lists like this. [​IMG]
