Fries absolutely suck. No amount of animal styling is going to fix that.
They give your meal in a box and hand it to you, with no bag, knowing full well you are going to drive.
The drive-thru is too damn long for the less than mediocre food you will receive.
The burger is smaller and blander than a Sonic Jr burger. They dust poof it up with thick ass pieces of pickle and tomato.
The only good thing on their menu is their shakes.

I've never been. The only time I've been anywhere close to one was in Denton TX, and I had just gotten Whataburger when I saw the In-N-Out sign.

Wish I'd seen In-N-Out first.

I'll give you that. Which is why I normally ask them to cook it well done so its crunchy.

They ask you, if you're going from the drive thru, if you want to eat the food in the car or not. You probably chose the later hence they gave it to you in a box, otherwise it would've been in a bag.

I'll give you this one, but it's also how I feel the same way about Chik-Fila.

Don't know about blander, but yes the burgers are small because that's the price you pay. One of the reasons people love In n Out is that you get tasty burgers at a value price. And no, In N Out burgers don't come with pickles unless you specifically ask for it.

Eh, disagree. I think you can get better shakes at Sonics lol.

I'd say no lies detected, but I haven't eaten from it in over 15 years so once the pandemic clears up I'm going to California and gonna see if it tastes better than I remember.

I always thought the fact that they never expanded beyond west coast was a bit pretentious *shrugs*

There are better burgers but double double is only $4. Long lines make it not worth it for me though. Whataburger has long lines but at least I can order online/app before going, and it will be ready for pickup.

People hype the hell out of In n Out where I live. To the point where your average person may be disappointed by the quality.

I think they suck and there are plenty of fast food burger places that do it better.

I've also never had in and out. Wendy's was the best when it first opened. These places like Dairy Queen, 5 guys, Ina nd out. I don't know. They are supposed to be newer and higher quality. Wendy's was great when it first opened and went downhill. A lot of these places have. These other places are more like they were but are overpriced and not that good.

I still would choose Wendy's/BK/Arbies over most of these newer chains. It's a burger. Unless it's really special it's not worth it and Wendy's really was. Some of these places are really trying to match that but it's not the same.

Mcdonalds has changed so much over the years too. Some of it is better. Some of it isn't.

The thing about in n out, is it's a burger and fries made with real ingredients, for a cheap price. It's legit cheaper than McDonald's, and uses actual real ingredients.

Thete are better burger joints, it's the price and quality that makes them appealing. You can feed four people for $20-$30 lol.

I used to go to wendy's at the mall and the guy would make a burger for me on the grill and give it to me free I was there so much. That's why it changed too but it's true. Video games were like that too. This is when the burgers were much bigger and fresher too. I worked at babbages and sold video games. He sold burgers. It just worked that way.

Comparing In n Out to Five Guys is always unfair. Yeah Five Guys is great but it's also twice as expensive. Five Guys is better off being compared with sit-in burger places.

I have been to five guys and remember it being overpriced for what it was. Good burger though. Nothing that special and a lot of flare for what amounted to having to pay for it. The guy who used to make burgers for me ended up working with him at Electronics boutique for a while. He obviously liked the fact i worked at babbages and gave me free burgers. Those were the days though. i twas like a dream.

Five Guys 'combos' are like $2 more and you get more fries, more (free) topping choices.

That's more a testament against McDonald's. I'm not paying more than $7 for a burger combo unless its worth it, and at that point I'm down paying the ~$14 on a Five Guys burger w/unlimited toppings and double the amount of fries I order.

I remember the fries and side stuff being jacked up at five guys. It was like 4.50 for fries and like 4.50 for a drink. It was something crazy like that why I never went back.

Red Robin was really good for a sit down place and endless fries. I don't know how well they are doing as far as a business model. A lot of these places now are a business model.

Five guys is supposed to be where if you bring a bunch of people you get a discount too. It's supposed to be for families and groups of friends to go after school or whatever where the more you buy the less it is.

I am not a big fan of these new places like I said. Chick-fil-a too. Good food. They all have a catch though.

To be fair, I looked up what the prices are near me and it is only about 50% more than In-n-Out. I think my point still stands that In-n-Out is a value option with good quality, it has been overhyped by people but that doesn't mean it isn't good. I think out of state people coming to California expecting the world out of a 4 dollar burger were never going to be satisfied, even if it was that good.

I'm just sad that the Fuddruckers location near me closed because of COVID. I'll miss that place.

The best new chain that has come out is probably Moe's. Its cheaper than Chipotle. It depends on what you prefer because Chipotle is really good but if you just want to eat Moe's is great.

I can't think of any story coming out of the actual business doing anything illegal either or being racist. The issue with Moe's is it has the same problems some of these other chains had with their employees doing things. So you have to be careful. But they have issues with theft and employees that get arrested for stealing and other bad things.

it's like little caesars too. Good cheap place but it's pretty ghetto. Wendy's is still the best chain ever created but it's lost a lot of it's charm. Arby's is great too and hasn't. That is probably the best now. BK is also highly underrated now.
