Reply to comment by DeezSaggyNuts in Frosty-style vegan shakes and Impossible burgers with vegan cheese at Fatburger in Midlothian 🔥 by zeelab2021

Went there several months back. It was $50 for 2 burgers, 1 order of fries, 6 wings, 2 drinks and a kid's meal (I don't recall what was in that). The burgers were pretty good, everything else was just tolerable. Definitely overpriced. If it had been $30 total I think it would have been fair, but it was not worth anything near $50.

My family and I are good at Texas Roadhouse for a little less then that. I ordered a big steak, GF ordered chicken,and mom and sister also had steaks.

Between that or some this I'd pick Texas Roadhouse every time

You had four meals at Texas Roadhouse for under $50? It's fast food quality steak but I still find that hard to believe.

$50 would be $12.50/person including taxes and tip but the cheapest steak I see on their menu is $13, chicken meals also start at $13.

Their lunch menu can be cheap from what I remember but I also have a hard time believing this

Compared to 5 Guys or Carytown Burgers, the prices are almost identical - unless you're doing vegan. Fries are $3, a shake is $5, and a 1/2 burger is less than $10.

If you go in there and just get a burger and nothing else it shouldn't be too terribly bad... They're expensive, but the burgers actually are kind of good. Not quite worth what they cost, but worth trying at least.

So meals for 3 people plus an order of wings—I think $50’for that is pretty normal esp for vegan food today. Not saying I’m a fan of paying that much but I gotta say that I’ve paid that same type of price in other places. But the plus side of this place is that their shakes are actually thick shakes made with ice cream. Lots of vegan shakes I’ve had here are just made with milk and ice or are just super thin. It’s awesome and rare to get legit vegan burgers and shakes in one spot. Hopefully vegan prices will continue to even out over time cause we need more vegan options in general out here

How do they make vegan shakes with ice cream and milk?

They use Craig’s ice cream which is a vegan ice cream that’s actually pretty good. I think they’ve got chocolate, strawberry, vanilla and a Maui-banana flavor shake but I’ve only tried chocolate

We didn't get vegan food. I understand that you would expect to pay more for that. I certainly won't be going back to Fatburger, though. I could feed the whole family for $30 (after tip) just down the road at Sergio's and it would have been a lot higher quality. I just can't pay $50 for what we got there. If it was all really good, then maybe. Other than the burgers, though, it all tasted like buffet quality food.

I will say that we didn't try their shakes, though, so I can't speak to those.

Literally any other burger place, including fast food, has better burgers than Fatburger. You're paying airport prices for no quality or flavor.
