My first Fatburger experience! Check that one off my cheeseburgers list.
I was properly warned that it takes quite awhile to get the food, and man were my advisors correct. We pulled up to the drive-thru at around 4 pm and didn't get our food until about 4:27. But that's because they make it fresh, to-order so you're not getting burgers or fries that have been sitting under a heat lamp for God knows how long. And yes, you can taste the freshness in the product.
Burger was good, fries were even better but the star of the meal had to be the strawberry shake. Cold, creamy and full of berry goodness... it hit the spot on a hot, Vegas afternoon. Normally I don't drink the entire thing, no matter how good, 'cause that's a lot of dairy in one sitting. This time, I absolutely drank it all.
Fatburger would likely be in my Top 10 all-time burger experiences. It's good and a special treat since we don't have them in the Bay Area. But my heart still stays true to Krekel's Custard in Central IL.
