Having an anime night with the boys and you know we gotta get the din din in. We decided on Whataburger because they have a limited release beast named the Bacon Wrangler Double. This features two patties, Monterey Jack and American cheese, bacon, pickles, crispy onion strings and chipotle aioli. I went crazy and added grilled onions on top of all that.
The vibe inside is chill and it’s nice how they bring the food out to our table after ordering. Out of the four of us eating, we all got the same burger. To be up front, I’m not a burger guy. I’m also pickle picky, as in I despise them. I didn’t realize at the time of order that these were included and hand removed them. The meal also came with fries and a drink.
The burger was pretty solid for it being fast food. The crispy and grilled onion combo with the chipotle aioli was the star of the show. The smokiness and texture of the bacon was excellent. Usually I expect a sloppy, floppy, soft piece of bacon when they’re advertised at a place like this. The meat and cheese were pretty standard and I wish it had a fresher component like lettuce. Can only blame myself on that with the pickle move.
The fries were just ok. They have a small bit of crisp, but lack flavor. They’re really meant to be conduits for the ketchup. Preferably with the spicy version that adds a small amount of heat.
As a non-burger guy I probably wouldn’t order it again, but I’m not mad that I had it. Overall, the meal left me full and satisfied. Hard to ask much more of a fast food joint.
