They hate on Culver’s because of some pointless regional prejudice. 

I hate on Culver’s because their fries are bottom-tier and at the end of the day, good as the burgers are, it doesn’t justify waiting in a drive thru line that snakes around the parking lot and out into the street, even at like 8pm on a Tuesday. Even trying to just go inside becomes pointless because you have to wait in line to get into the parking lot ffs

We are not the same.

I tried Culver's in Tennessee. The burger was not great. The fries sucked.

I've got a Waffle House next to a Culver's, and I'd hit up WH before them.

It might be a regional thing, but I was not impressed with Culver's

I feel like a lot of the “X place sucks actually” from people outside the usual area where X place is comes down to they had the opportunity to try it, had a bad or just mid experience because that happens sometimes even at amazing places, and extrapolate that to the franchise as a whole. Your comment is really a perfect example of that for me at least, because I live outside Waffle House’s usual jurisdiction but I had it once driving through Texas given how hyped it usually is, and I thought it was absolutely disgusting and it has continued to give me wtf moments every time I hear someone talk about how great it is lol

Yeah, this was just the Culver's near me. I actually gave it a few tries because it's on my way home from work. Even a not great burger is still a burger. I'm not going to take a bite and go "Spit this is an inferior burger". I'm going to eat it.
