Are these not still a thing? Pretty sure I saw one last time I was in the Houston area. Decent and cheap fast food burgers (if a bit salty in an already salty segment), and good seasoned fries. As an aside, the licensed ones in the freezer section come out of an air fryer in a pretty good state.

One just opened in my town within the last 6 months. Another company moved out of an older building, Rally's took over and did a small renovation. The loaded garlic fries are ridiculously garlic-y and delicious.....

I live in Michigan, they're still going strong here. And they've become one of the most affordable places too (though they're finally starting to raise prices too).

A "Big Buford" sounds amazing...

Looks like Rally's is still a thing:

It may be a stretch, and a regional thing, but does anyone remember Hot 'n Now (I just looked it up, and it seems there is one still in operation)?
