Im gonna say its not, but in my defense Ive only ever actually had it once, and it was decent, and Ive never actually heard anyone talk about it as though its some sort of transformative fine dining experience. Most of the people I knew who raved about it were stoners so, I had a pretty good idea of what to expect.

I think most Californians agree that it is.

But it's not bad to have every now and then. They have fresh ingredients and fast service, despite the long lines.

Are their French fries actually fresh? They taste like the flash fried and frozen shit you get everywhere. Actually fresh cut fries Ive had have always been limp or soggy (and utterly delicious). In n out fries are hard and awful.

Yes. They're fresh. They spin dry them before putting them in the deep fryer. If you're pan frying wet fries, then yeah they come out differently.

As a vegetarian I can basically only judge them on their French fries.

And their French fries fucking suck. Sure they are cut right in front of you fresh but it doesn't matter. They are garbage.

Every few years I have an opportunity to try them again and I always walk away disappointed. It's still just super low end fast food. The whole "fresh" gimmick doesn't mean much when Wendy's also advertises using never frozen beef, their special sauce is just a kid cafeteria mixture of every condiment, and their "secret menu" is a gimmick that's long since lost its appeal that only ever existed to make locals feel special. There's just nothing special about them beyond "ooh, a fast food place I can't get on the east coast."

It's really good when you haven't had it in awhile. I sour on eating it when I've had it again soon after eating there once.

I'm not sure what my favorite fast food burger place. In-N-Out, Wendy's, Burger King, Jack-in-the-Box, Carl's Jr, and McDonald's all have their moments. I haven't hated any fast food burger.

People only say that In n Out is overrated when they go into it expecting food of the highest quality because of the popularity. That's not why In n Out is popular, In n Out is popular because of price per performance. You're not getting a top of the line burger, but you're also paying like $2 for a good burger.

It's because French fries are not a food that can be done well "fresh". Good fries require multiple steps that take hours to end up with the proper texture. InO just Leroy Jenkins the entire preparation process in the name of freshness and you get terrible starch tubes as a result. But at least you got to watch them make your garbage fries.

I'll assume that their food is the same as Hardee's.

But I'll also assume it depends on the establishment itself.

Anyway like with all the chains we have some that are crap and some will bother to make your food good.

Like my Hardee's will make you wait for some food.

But you know it's fresh and made right then instead of it sitting on the rack for hours.

Those are California lies!

Both Dicks Drive Inn in western Washington and D. Lish hamburgers in Spokane are fresh never frozen, with fries made same day and you can watch them do it.

Those fries have the typical mealy texture on the inside but the outside is soft and the fries are limp. But they are delicious.

apparently part of the issue with in n out may lie their potatoes. They apparently use some variety that no one else uses. The shitty taste of in n out fries is apparently intentional.

Yes in a way. The first prerequisite for something to be "overrated" is for it to be well loved to begin with, which it is. And the burgers are great for their value (very hard to find better tasting burgers as fresh as In n out with their price point). Is it the best burgers in the world? Far from it, but I don't think that's what they're going for but just like Chik Fila you still have idiots making their food like some kind of gift from God or something, which is why I consider it overrated.

That's a poor fix at best. French fries need to be soaked, blanched, cooled, then fried again to have a proper crispy outside, smooth inside. If you skip the soaking they'll be too starchy and become soft and gummy. Skip the blanching and they'll never be cooked internally without burning them. The well done basically just holds off the starch softening for a little longer. They are still undercooked and need to be eaten ASAP.

Also they don't even salt the fries after frying them. Which is key. Once the oil cools the salt doesn't stick.
