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
There is a buger joint in Greenville ohio called Maidrites...its not a chain and it has steamed burgers (meat and buns) that looks more like a BBQ sandwich except its a burger. They have been in business for eons and it beats all other burgers by far. From the early days kids would go through the drive thru and stick thier chewing gum on the old brick wall and then stick a penny in the gum. Its sort of gross but one gets use to it after a while. Not meant to hi Jack but I have never hear of the 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
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
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
We don't have an In N Out here in my area, would like to try one tho, even tho the picture posted of the double looked kinda small.
We have a place in a town nearby called Fat Burger, first time there i ordered a double meat double cheese, i had not realized that each patty was about 1/2 lb each.. pretty darn good, just difficult to finish! They also offered a tripple and Quad burger.. Another local place called patty's burgers in Tacoma is probably the best on my list. Burger King? i'll go hungry, McDonalds? if i'm desperate.

Re: In-N-Out Burger
I used to live in a house that was down wind of an In N Out so you could smell the burgers, gained a pound or two living there.

Re: In-N-Out Burger
I haved lived in Ca. my whole life and have had the chance to try most of the fast food places.
I think 5 guys and In-N-Out burger are the best fast food burgers I have ever had. They just recently opended the 5 guys near me about a year ago. Pretty tasty. I think they are both about equal just depends what your in the mood for. They both have there own unique flavor. I dont think any of the big time fast food franchises are on the same level. not by a long shot. I do like Carls Jr though.. Burgerking and McDonalds are not even a option for me. Sonic is just OK

Re: In-N-Out Burger
in-n-out is ok. i only go when the GF wants it because the meals are too small for me, even the hidden size burger. i dont like the secret sauce or fries.
the burgers taste pretty good, now if only they were maybe 4 or 5 times bigger.

Re: In-N-Out Burger
The farmer boys drive thru SUCKS! If you go inside and eat, you get this amazing burger that looks like it should be on a commercial. There drive through food is allways soggy and greasy.

Re: In-N-Out Burger
Around here, the best by far is a place called JCW's. Their burgers are incredible - and the price reflects it. Then we have Crown Burger and its spinoffs, another local chain featuring pastrami burgers. I would say In-N-Out is a distant third behind those, and definitely not worth waiting in line for.

Re: In-N-Out Burger
.
In-n-out serve really tasty burgers. However, if you eat those little peppers or pepper slices (they changed the type and style of peppers recently around here) with each bite of burger, they really come alive! Delicious! -klb

Re: In-N-Out Burger
In n out is over rated. I’ve had a ton of times, but it doesn’t deserve the cult following it usually receives, I like mine animal style. Blake’s Lottaburger destroys it in every way possible.
