1. Cheeseburger in Paradise

In September of 2020, Cheeseburger in Paradise shuttered its last remaining location in Secaucus, New Jersey. It's not clear as to when exactly the adored burger chain officially closed its doors, because the website only lends the following insight: "Thank you for supporting Cheeseburger in Paradise. All of our restaurant locations are now permanently closed."

2. Steak n’ shake
“The iconic burger and shake chain that has been open since 1934 closed nearly 70 locations over the first half of 2020. In May of that year, 306 Steak 'n Shake locations were still in operation, however, the chain was actively looking to sell many corporate-owned sites to those who wanted to franchise them. Since then, 18 more sites have closed”


3. Whataburger

“In April 2020, the company announced that some employees in the corporate office were being laid off and others furloughed. And a few months later in June, when many Whataburger locations began to reopen their dining rooms at a limited capacity, more layoffs ensued in the corporate office.“

4. Fuddruckers
This burger favorite originated in texas in 1980 but has seen a steady drop in sales for a while now. In early 2019, its parent company, Luby's, said they were closing some locations and in March 2020, five of those stores closed temporarily due to the pandemic.

By June 2020, Luby's announced that the whole company was up for sale in order to pay off outstanding debts, putting the future of "the world's greatest hamburgers" at Fuddruckers up in the air. In September, Luby's Inc. announced it was selling assets after having to shut down operations at all of its locations in the spring.

They name Wendy’s, Red Robin and Roy Rogers but say they are on the up swing kinda. Can’t see Wendy’s closing and Burger King surviving though or a and w

Will you miss any of these?

BK should be doing well with their spicy chking sandwich and the free whopper with it via the app.

It's actually really decent for the price

The only ones in my region were Red Robin and Wendy's. Red Robin is... OK. They need to fck off with the "gourmet burgers" false advertising, tho. The bottomless steak fries are OK but you get tired of eating them before you're even full. Wendy's is good (chicken sangwiches are goat) and I would say better than Burger King and McDonard's. However I don't eat as burger joints so meh.

Meanwhile the one In n Out in a 30 mile radius of me has a line going around the parking lot. Never tried it, tho. I'm always disappointed by hyped up fast food.

Fuddruckers was legit my favorite hamburger place. Was devastated when I heard they went under.

I can't even imagine Whataburger ever going out of business. The crazy Texans love that chit.

Im a fan of BK because they had a veggie garden burger before any other national chain.

In and out’s fries I hate. Their burgers look no better than what you can make at home. Vs like five guys

Wow Roy Rogers brings back memories I remember going there as a little kid, and used to think it was amazing.

Lol there's a steak n shake like 10 mins away from me, but I haven't eaten there in many yrs. The funny thing is when I lived farther away from it than I do now I used to go there all the time while home from college with friends it was the hang out spot at 3 am after a night out as it was open 24/7. I doubt it is anymore...now I'm curious maybe I'll drive by there tomorrow.

There's one still in Hawaii.

The “whataburger” that opened in my city years ago before covid was chit. T

Good riddance.

Wendy’s faced financial issues before. Not as popular as the chit tier chains like McDonald’s and BK but better food. Probably higher food cost squeezing them. The one by me had a very evident drop in quality pre Covid.

good burger. They had the best orange soda

I GREATLY miss Luby's here in AZ (Family used to eat there 3/4 times a week). I will miss Fudrucker's too if it goes.

Oh another chain restaurant that’s gone forever due to COVID is soup plantation/sweet tomatoes, super bummed and Ruby Tuesday closed half their restaurants

If I'm throwing my calories away, I'm going Five Guys. If I want a beer with my burger, there are a million other places.

Fuddruckers was legit.

In N Out is the most overrated trash

Negged for mentioning Whataburger

Ded fukin srs

Forgot about Fuddruckers.

And Whataburger was never a presence here in the Nashville area, but we stopped there when we went to the beach a few times. I didn't know they closed.

They didn't. Op is spreading fake news...

Yeah if anything, they may be expanding. I just googled it and it looks like they're planning to open nine locations in Nashville over the coming year.

Fuddruckers back in the late 80s was solid. Worked there for awhile. Used to bring in the sides of beef and butcher them. Fresh buns daily and the cheese sauce was thick out of a can, not the powdered stuff they mix with hot water now.

Shake shack and burgerfi are the only edible cheap burger chains.

We lost every single one of our Burger Kings last year. No idea where to even buy Burger King anymore. Tbh, I hadn't gone there in years anyway

BK's tomatoes were sliced so thin that they were transparent. That's how much they cut costs. Also they watered down their mayo.

They eventually started making things better again but it was way too late.
