Fatburger is really popular around the LA/Orange County area. They've even been voted one of the best burgers in LA. I think they're rather bleh.
I first visited Fatburger (in L.A.) around 1980 or so. I thought they were absolutely great. I found they had a store here locally and went earlier this year - what a BIG disappointment!
There was a chain, Fuddrucker's, around here (but most seem to have closed recently) that had good burgers. Dunno why they didn't do better business than they did, especially when there are so many crappy burger chains around.
