Fuddrucker's Stats
These stats are purely based on the opinion of the Cranky Burger Guy.
Location Visited: Reading, MA
Meal Price: $8.00
Number of Beers on Tap: 0
Ok, so I decided to give Fuddrucker's a second chance. After all, anybody can have an off day. So this time I tried the half pound burger.
I was ready for them this time: I told them ahead of time I did not want the bun grilled. Unfortunately, everything else was the same: I got a smaller version of the one pound burger with a smaller version of the one pound bun (1/2 pound of meat with one pound of bread - that is crazy.) The french fries were mediocre at best and the coffee was so watered down, it tasted like hot water. For a burger that wasn't great, I think the price was high. Considering the cost, when it comes right down to it I would probably choose a Burger King Whopper over a Fuddruckers hamburger.
On the positive side of things, the toppings table was amazing. They had everything from tomatoes and lettuce to onions and jalapenos. The meat was tasty and the meal was cooked quickly. The service was also very good (though that isn't difficult for them: the customer has to get everything himself.) Unfortunately for Fuddruckers, an ok hamburger pattie and quick, efficient service doesn't make up for a bun that is too big, fries that need to change, and terrible coffee.
Happy eating,
Cranky
