Yes, the self-proclaimed home to the 'world's greatest hamburgers' still exists! Now that you've you received your daily dose of nostalgia, let's take a quick dive in and see what all fuss is about over everyone's favorite burger joint, Fuddruckers.
Founded in 1979, the burger chain has been a staple of 'Not-so-fast-food' for over four decades. So when Twitter user Michelle Dean posed a question asking if anyone had ever been to the establishment, the internet was quick to respond.
Have you ever been to something called a Fuddruckers? I'd like to hear about your experiences.

I was a tween and it was maybe the best burger I ever had. it was a bit quirky with random arcade games? you got all your sauces from pump action tubs. even back in '90 you got a buzzer thing to pick up your order, which felt so foreign for a burger joint. they sold HUGE cookies

Highlight of school field trips that were decently long distances

There are way not enough posts here lamenting the DIY cheese sauce dispenser at Fuddruckers. I would hum the national anthem as I used it

Echoing Nick's cheese tweet, I remember Fuddruckers was (and still is) very much in the build your own burger business. I'm totally dating myself here, but back in the day there was even a walk-up burger bar with toppings and condiments of your choosing.
It’s alive and well in Las Vegas and even though I don’t eat meat I can literally make a salad from the condiment bar

Glad to see a staple of our childhood is still alive and well. As of 2019 they even had an eating challenge. If you could scarf down a 3lb Fuddruckers burger and 1lb of steak fries, you won a t-shirt! Now I ask you, the reader, what more could you want out of an American burger joint?
