Braum's

[BoulderSooner]

Braum's just filed a building permit for the NE corner of NW 192nd (Danforth) & Western.

i would have thought they would have tried to be a little further away from the sante fe and 2nd location

I didn't realize how empty that corner was (just a Caseys). Great potential there.

Braum's has has had that spot picked out I think since pre-covid. There was a sign up at one point, but it was removed about two years ago.

The also have a spot slated for 178th and Portland on the south east side of the intersection.

As for the Casey's, it's a mile west at Penn. There is a brand new Integris doctor's office going in on the opposite corner at 192nd and Penn.

There's been a Braum's sign there for many years. Speaking of Braum's, I decided to give their burger another try today. Still sucks.

and a good value too, no charge to add a shake and if you keep it a small instead of a medium, you almost always around $10.

I think Braum's and Sonic's quality have fallen in the recent few years. Or maybe I have just gotten spoiled with other burgers around town. Not really sure which, now that I think about it.

Sonic has. Their national parent co. doesn't seem to care about quality any longer.

Braums is still good to me, just miss the 1/3rd lb burgers. But that isn't a quality issue. Just my opinion.

I agree with this. For many years, both Sonic and Braums made amazing burgers. Not anymore.

At Braums, on the infrequent occasions I've gone there recently, I get a single-patty cheeseburger with no mayo (can't stand mayo on a burger), no lettuce (they are bad about using big, bitter pieces) and extra special sauce (they still give me about a thimble full). Yesterday, I didn't make any special requests, just ordered a single-patty cheeseburger. Didn't like it.

They are OK but not as good as they were before they changed how they make them several years ago. Also I don't think they are made fresh at the time you order them like they used to be. Same with their shakes when they changed how they make those. I think they quit using milk and use something else in them.

I think the founder passed away and the business is in other family member's hands. Braum's was really, really good when I first moved here. It's alright but not what it used to be.

I never heard anyone complain about Braums before they changed their recipe on their burgers and shakes.

One thing I will give Braums is excellent customer service. I pulled up to and away from the payment window in about 30 seconds and when I got to the second window, there was an arm holding a bag with my burger hanging out the window. No way it was anywhere near fresh cooked, but at least it was hot, unlike McDonalds, where it takes much longer and then they hand you a lukewarm burger.

I didn't know they changed their shakes. That is discouraging because their shakes (and malts and burgers) were always excellent, decades ago.

The newer generation jumped onto some dippy bandwagon to add some magic pixie dust to make their shakes "healthier." There was quite a dust cloud over the issue a few years ago. They also did something to their milk that made it go bad way too fast. We used to be routine Braum's customers until this happened, then we got sick of their filthy stores and finally just gave up . a lot of people still hold long-term nostalgic memories of Braum's, but IMHO there's nothing special about them anymore. They make a decent hamburger, I guess.

They used to make them with real milk. When they changed their burgers to what they are now they stopped making the shakes with milk and switched to some other liquid concoction at that same time.

I used to buy Braum's milk but I only buy and drink Fairlife fat free milk now and have for a few years. The Fairlife milk I bought today Feb 27 has a June 4 expiration date. Yes it is expensive but I like it for the 50% less sugar and 50% more protein. To me Fairlife fat free milk is comparable to regular 2% milk.

I think it is more a matter of me getting old and my tastes changing. Braum's good, Sonic good. Sometimes better than others. My only dining imperative is to gobble down the fries before they get cold and limp. I want crispy fries. That's actually one thing I notice is better about Sonic and some other places fries, in that the crinkle cut has something in the processing that helps them feel crispy longer. Must be something McDonalds perfected when they were cramming--- excuse me, fusing---all them chicken parts into nuggets. And the industry has expanded it.

[gjl]

There are only 4 ingredients that go into McD's chicken nuggets. Breast meat, rib meat, tenderloin and a little skin. Contrary to rumors there are no beaks or feet.

Disregard.
