Gourmet Fast Food?

[MattSuspect]

A few years ago I got into a heated argument with my friends, who considered Fuddruckers fast food. Thoughts?

Having never been there I'm unsure. Can you describe the experience? Do you order at a counter?

Pei Wei sounds pretty good. There's one near me too. Thanks for the tip.

I can't believe that no one picked up on this.

Fuddruckers is as much fast food as Chili's or TGI Friday's are. Which is to say it isn't. Although all three suck horribly.

Mmm, I can't abide the Fuddrucker's hate. I probably go there only once every couple of years even though there are two pretty close but I always come away thinking that it was a pretty damned good burger, their condiment bar is impressive, and you can get some really good nacho cheese for your fries (just what my fat ass needs, but mixed with ketchup it's awesome, and the fries are some pretty tasty potato wedges).

I definitely don't think it fits the criteria of fast food either, which I loosely define as any place or chain where you can buy food out of a window.

So you order while seated at a table?

Unless I'm confusing Fuddrucker's with another restaurant, isn't it just like a casual chain restaurant - seated by a hostess, burgers for $7, etc?

The ones out here - and I assume everywhere - you order prior to getting seated, so you stand in a line. Sort of like Pei Wei, actually. Your food is not taken to your table, they call out your number or name and you have to go get it. Which is fine because you'd be up anyway to dress up your burger.
