Damn

Re: In-N-Out Burger
 

YES!
they have a clear window so you can watch your order be made!
they cut the fries moments before they hit the fryer..
i LOVE THEM..

but i miss having one around.

Re: In-N-Out Burger
 

and this dude can just STFU.. i dont care what his opinion is.. grrr (the video guy)

Re: In-N-Out Burger
 

We might stop in once a month.... good burgers, but not that good!

There is no food anywhere that's good enough to make me wait in a line like that, even if it's free.

Re: In-N-Out Burger
 

VERY good

Re: In-N-Out Burger
 

They must have been giving out free burgers as part of their grand opening. There was a cop (.43) waiting in line too. Was he on the clock? Why not just hit the blues?

"I'm afraid I'm going to have to commandere this spatula":lol:

Re: In-N-Out Burger
 

We don't have them down here, but I finally got to eat at one a few years ago. They aren't bad, but they sure as heck aren't worth waiting in a long line for.

They recently opened the first Carl's Jr in our area. They had a line wrapped around the block for almost two months. I suppose they are great burgers too, but still haven't eaten there.

Re: In-N-Out Burger
 

In-N-Out is probably IMO the best drive through burger you are gonna find.

The others that all say that they are better, screw it up with weird toppings or so many other choices to screw up a burger.

In-N-Out has always been a CA favorite, at least for me it's a treat after a long day.

Re: In-N-Out Burger
 

I can't remember the first time I ate at Mc Donalds, Carls Jr, Burger King, etc.

But I can remember the first time I ate at In N Out over 30 years ago.

Yes, it is THAT good.

Re: In-N-Out Burger
 

Sounds like five guys in our area. Fresh cut Idaho fries, fresh high quality meat cooked to order with about 20 choices of toppings that are all good!!!

Isn't Ace-X going to one of these openings?

Re: In-N-Out Burger
 

never been to one but it's gotta be better than Sonic. confusing menu board and all these promotions get on my nerve.
locally we have Burger Time. "I'll take a #2 with Pepsi" is the way it should be. occasionally they have a corn dog special but that's it.

Re: In-N-Out Burger
 

Never had In-N-Out Burgers where I grew up... went to the Springnationals out in Pomona last year and we made a point of going.

I have been eatin hamburgers for 50 years, gotta tell ya I wasn't impressed at all. McDonalds has better fries, and Burger King hamburgers are just as good.... IMO of course.

Re: In-N-Out Burger
 

Re: In-N-Out Burger
 

Is that Five Guys Burgers and Fries?

There is one of those here in Utah, but I have not ever been there. My kid says it's pretty dang good, though. As for In & Out-I gotta say I'm underwhelmed. I remember them from when I was a kid in SoCal and they have recently (last 5 years or so) moved into Utah. The were as I remembered, just not my favorite.

But Salt Lake just came in 2nd in the Nation-behind Houston-for best burgers overall. I'll see if I can find the link. It was on the news a couple days ago:lol:

Here's that link:

Re: In-N-Out Burger
 

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Re: In-N-Out Burger
 

Yes, five guys burgers and fries

Good stuff....gotta try it some time...

Re: In-N-Out Burger
 

Five guys closed down here.. folks did not want to pay for a pricey burger.

I have heard nothing but good about in and out over the years.. but I have to say, that pic doesn't look any different than a sonic burger.

Re: In-N-Out Burger
 

Ive never eaten In-n-Out, though have heard good things.
since its relevant Id thought Id take the opportunity to post this up-

http://www.hamburgeramerica.com/ha_george.html


The guy who made this is one of my best friends brothers... hes a freelance photographer, he made a documentary called "Hamburger America" and also wrote a book on burgers joints across the US. he has tried and wrote about some of the strangest and best burgers in America :flag:. hes a real good guy and makes a damn good burger. check out his website

Re: In-N-Out Burger
 

There is a 5 guys joint here in my town now.

Tried it a few times in different style orders, and I gotta say... It's just a sloppy burger with a pile of greasy fries in a bag. If I wanted that, I'd just go to "The Hat" and get a decent burger with the same amount of the same kind of pile of fries. (Mind you, the only reason one would go to "The Hat" is for the pastrami).

I crack up at these so called "better than In-N-Out" joints like 5 guys, and they are just a rip off of how In-N-Out does food prep. Yet, the burger has no taste nor does the fries.

Similar to Sonic? You gotta be kidding me? Sonic burgers are like eating a soggy piece of heavy corrugated cardboard between some nasty old fixins...

I guess you have to be a Southern Californian to truly appreciate an In-N-Out burger, since every region has it's favorite burger and claim it's the best.

Just a SoCal icon of fast food that every burger flippin shop tries to emulate to capitalize off of IMO. Though I have to say... It's just a fast food burger, and if you're out of the area hopes have been pumped up about it. Then you are bound to be negative about it.

Just have one, and if you like it. Then have a coke and smile, if not then enjoy your local favorite.

Re: In-N-Out Burger
 

I agree on the regional thing (five guys started in DC and it's suburbs and now covers VA)

...and I've never been to an in-N-out to compare the two...

Could also be a location by location thing....I ate at one five guys in Potomac, VA that had overly greasy fries (oil probably not hot enough) and the burger was no better than McD's...they were slow (no customers) at the dinner rush which should have been my first warning sign-normally they are all busy all day long...

I've eaten at six or seven other locations in DC, VA, and the outer banks of NC and they've all been great!

Re: In-N-Out Burger
 

The In-n-Out Burger phenom is pretty funny. The chains are just starting to open in this area. We have a lunch scheduled for the day the one close to work opens. I keep telling everyone that it's just a burger joint. I've ate there many times and it's no where near the best burger I've had, but it's ok for a burger joint. Funny how the marketing is so effective...

lol...

Re: In-N-Out Burger
 

Well it's all opinion but I ate at one in Vegas and I absolutely loved it. The line up is nothing new for me...people up here create huge lines up for coffee at our Tim Hortons. Blows my mind.

Re: In-N-Out Burger
 

x100 on everything.

In SoCal that is it, oh and besides The Hat, the pastrami at Canters too.

Here in the northwest, Burgerville it the shiz.....


*...... and pastrami at Rose's

Re: In-N-Out Burger
 

Re: In-N-Out Burger
 

I love hamburgers. In-N-Out..... best burger ever. 5 Guys is not bad, but, doesn't even come close to In-N-Out. Sonic's good, too, but still not In-N-Out. I won't even discuss the big chains. We have made holiday plans just to go to areas for In-N-Out.

Love the fries, too. And when you talk about service, They really seem to train their people better then anyone.

Dammit, Vectorit, those pics made me hungry!

Re: In-N-Out Burger
 

In N Out has been in business since 1948, first one opened in Baldwin Park. The menu has not changed in 63 years. Their service and quality is unmatched. They also start their employees at a minimum of $10 an hour plus benefits...try getting that being a Whopper flopper at Burger King. They keep their employees happy, and that translates to an excellent customer experience. All of their food is fresh, no preservatives, and is bought locally. They give a lot back to the community. It is NOT a franchise, it has been owned and operated by the Snyder family since day one. When it comes to "fast food" there is NO comparison.

You can read more on the history here: http://www.in-n-out.com/history.asp

The prices are not bad either, take a look:

Re: In-N-Out Burger
 

I did not say it WAS similar to Sonic. I have never been to one, so I would not know. I said the pic posted looks like a Sonic burger. I don't like fast food burgers at all, so I will agree on the cardboard deal, but its like salty cardboard IMHO ;)

Re: In-N-Out Burger
 

:lol: I think it was just me, after reading 68C15 mention of Sonic and then your mention. Plus with my experience with Sonic, I think I just a little over worked. :lol:

Re: In-N-Out Burger
 

Love In-N-Out Burger! It's the best.....

At my age I need to watch my intake. Unlike SF Giants superstar Tim Lincecum.

Get this, his traditional fare? Three Double-Doubles. Two fries. A chocolate-strawberry shake. Ketchup please, but hold the lettuce and tomatoes.

3,390 calories!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:metal:

Re: In-N-Out Burger
 

Face it guys, our preferences for burgers is no different than our preferences for trucks or women. Different strokes for different folks. Variety helps to keep life interesting... :D

Re: In-N-Out Burger
 

They just opened a 5 guys around the corner from here, and it is good... a little better than Culvers, but still not IN n Out.
In the town close to where I grew up there is a 3 store chain that is pretty awesome... if you are ever in Lima Ohio off !75 in western Ohio, look for a Kewpee. Preferably the down town one.

Re: In-N-Out Burger
 

I've had both 5 guys and In n' Out and to me there isn't a nickel's worth of difference.

With that being said, I do admit they are both head and shoulders above a McD's, Hardee's/Carl Jr.'s/Burger King and Sonic burger.

Re: In-N-Out Burger
 

Kinda like mentioning McDonalds in Rockwell to me :haha:

Its all good, one thing I have noticed is each Sonic is different than the rest. Same menu for the most part, but even area to area around here, the quality of meat substance and cheeses etc are not the same. Take for instance, one a few towns from us has meat that is edible. It looks alot like hamburger and does not taste like a salt lick. One in Tx, uses nacho cheese and yet another grade of meat. One in Salisbury NC has different packs you can buy, but the one in Rockwell does not. The kids love it, so we get stuck with it.. I would prefer to just go somewhere that just cooks real meat hand patted burgers.

Re: In-N-Out Burger
 

In N Out isn't bad, but to me its about like most fast food joints. When I want a good burger I hit up a good non chain restaurant or make my own.

Re: In-N-Out Burger
 

I don't see what all the hype is about its just a burger

Re: In-N-Out Burger
 

Best in the West :metal:

Re: In-N-Out Burger
 

Same here, No fast food crap goes down my trap.....
