20sGirl Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 The Chronicle this morning said we're getting Krystal Burgers here in Houston. (For those not familiar, Krystals are similar to White Castles in that they are small, square burgers.) Their onion rings are SO GOOD!

Subdude Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 I have seen these through the south but have never been in one. I'm looking forward to checking them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VelvetJ Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 I can't wait, can't wait, can't wait. I grew up on those things. Back in the day, they had a CRAZY burger called the Big K. Of course it had a thick patty of beef with the normal lettuce, tomato, Ketchup, mustard, mayo, onions and cheese. But what gave it it's signature was it also had a couple of slices of bacon and a roundly cut slice of ham. OOOOO, talk about unhealthy, but it was so good.Either way, I think those little burgers are going to be a hit here in Houston, especially if they are open late at night. First we get Krispy Kreme, now we finally get Krystals. Now the set is complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houstonsemipro Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 It's great to see another franchise coming into the houston market, but is it going to make it witht he other big name franchise? Houston has to many resturants, and too many competion. That's one reason why other franchises won't step into houston market cause they afraid of losing money. But let's see how long this Krystal Burgers will last here, and this other one coming to houston, Topz (leanest burgers in america) let's see how they will do in a strong resturant market like houston.

The Great Hizzy! Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 The quirk with Krystals is that they offer bite size burgers for almost nothing, so you have more options as to how much you buy and that sort of thing. For example, four Krystals W/Cheese cost about $2.40. That's typically what the normal person buys, apparently.All I know is that in Florida, when I was in college, we had a Krystals right across from campus, and it was very popular. They're not the best tasting food in the world but they're no worse, IMO, than most fast food places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2112 Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 I'm sorry. But so far, this "Krystal Burger" thing doesnt seem as appetizing as a good, juicy, and greesy, Whataburger. (No. 5 with jalapenos). That's my opinion and I'm sticking with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's better than that.By the way, White Castle blows Krystal away. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VelvetJ Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Krystals is a totally different animal than anything in Houston right now. For those that have cash flow issues but want a treat, it's Krystals all the way. Gather the loose change in your car and stop by Krystals. We all know Whataburger is tasty but it is also pricey. Krystals will be a hit I'm sure because of the price, not to mention they don't taste too bad. Plus kids love the size and shape of the burgers.As much as I love Krystals, White Castle is the King of Late night burgers and do indeed taste better than Krystals. But I don't think White Castle will ever venture south.Love live the murder burger/gas burger!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidtownCoog Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 We all know Whataburger is tasty but it is also pricey.And they also take FOREVER. It can be quite a wait for a "fast food" burger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Although, I don't think they can beat JCI for a good, greasy hot dog with plenty-o-onions.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ssullivan Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 Isnt there a White Castle on the Southwest Freeway?No. No White Castles anywhere in Texas. The closest one is probably in Missouri or Tennessee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheetoPuff Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 Do you think it will survive here? They're small, and not very filling. And we do live in Texas where everything is big. In my opinion I don't see it surviving. And yes, Whataburger rocks.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
