Yea, it’s nothing impressive. I think it’s popular because it’s “popular”. Nothing impressive, but consistently average. Though I’ve also heard it’s much better the closer to the original locations you get, so who knows.

How is it not typical? I was deeply underwhelmed the one time I went there.

I’m with you. People love this place, but the half dozen times I’ve been there, it’s been thoroughly mediocre. It’s not bad, but it’s not this amazing pinnacle of burgers either. And I truly don’t understand why people are in love with “animal style,” aka make my burger as messy as possible.

Its a cheap burger joint, I think the confusion is caused by a mix-up of expectations.
I was in SLS a few weeks ago and got a double-double combo for under 10$. I feel like there are very few places left that even offer something that could be viewed as a meal for that price. Plus they treat their employees well and their locations Ive been to are very clean.
Are they prefect, no, but we put them on a pedestal because they are how a crappy fast food joint should be run.

What you said makes sense and I completely understand why this would make them popular. They should be applauded for their cleanliness and good treatment of their employees. Those are great! However what I don’t get is why people act like their burgers are top tier when they’re clearly not.

They are absolutely top tier in their category (fast food and cheap). You can’t compare them to a $20 monster burger.
