On my way to Cali for the week. There's an in and out burger 30 minutes from where I'm staying. I've heard it's good, but is it worth an hour roundtrip? Or is it just good because we don't have them in ks/ok?
-
Not worth the trip.
-
no, not particularly good. californians are dumbasses.
-
It's good (for fast food), but not worth the trip.
Of course, if you're thirty minutes from an In-N-Out in California, your closer options may make it worth the trip.
-
It's great fast food, take that as you want. If you're driving down the street and you have a bunch of chain restaurants and McDonalds it's definitely worth picking over the others. But an hour round trip, ehhhhhh
-
I would actually get one on the way to the airport. I'm guessing there's one between you and the airport or close to that route. Just a guess.
-
Unless there's one in LAX I guess I'll pass. I'm going to some crappy AFB. Vandenburg or something like that.

is the wedding party paying for it? if so, yes.

there is one right by lax if you're in a rental. santa maria thinks their bbq (tritip sandwich) is something particularly good, i haven't tried it, but it looks ordinary. you can get really good mexican in santa maria, i'm sure.
don't listen to these philistines pushing in&out. it not only isn't special, it's not very good. shitty fries, ordinary burgers. carl's jr is better.

in & out should change it's name to indoors sonic

Yes, it's catchy, and it will obviously get people in the door, but does it describe the restaurant accurately? Absolutely.
-
no, not particularly good. californians are dumbasses.
Yes. YES!
-
I would rather have what-a-burger or even Brahms up here in the KC metro
-
it is better than carl's jr.

didn't take long after the move for michigancat to slip into conversation that where he lives hardees is called carls jr. :blah:
-

californians aren't responsible for hyping the living crap out of the place. californians treat it like the fast food it is.

there's one right across the street from LAX

yeah, they are definitely for the people who buy a shirt there to show their friends they've been to california.

not even close. is this the thread we hate on in and out? antagonist? it's certainly better than sonic.
-
If they wouldn't let sonic leave the midwest and made the chili cheese tots a secret menu item t-shirt buyers from all over the west coast would flock to it.
-
In Michigan, when the first Sonic opened, it was on the 11 o'clock news.
-
maybe it's just my local sonic, but it sucks. in-n-out is good burgers.
in-n-out reminds me of five guys burgers but a little thinner and better lettuce.

no pressure here, this is just my simple way of calling steve_fitz a complete dumbass.

it's not better. it's equal. you love the novelty of not getting it here.
-
you also order something off the secret menu every time you are there
-
monster style would be my guess for phogclams
-
I never order off secret menu. And In-N-Out is BETTER than Sonic, chum Dave.

RUBIO'S :thumbsup:
-
i used to get animal style but don't get it that way anymore. don't really get into their fries. just cheeseburgers.
-
at five guys I get my burger with hot sauce and cheese only
-

their fries suck, that's why they're worse than carl's jr. all fast food burgers suck so there is little they can do to better themselves vis a vis burgers..
-
oh, and if you're driving from lax to vandenberg, you'll pass roughly 30,000 in&outs along the way. also, at least one 5 guys.
-
Come on down to the Cotton Bowl. :driving:
VERY OVERRATED! :zzz:
-
Whataburger. That's what I am second most excited for during the Cotton Bowl trip. :lick:
And yes, it is probably the novelty of not getting it in KC that makes me excited about it. But then again, can't you say this about everything in the world? I'm not going to pretend that I wouldn't stand in front of the Eiffel Tower like a dumbass and take a photo for the scrapbook if I ever get to Paris.
-
fat as eff

I plan on getting in & out in Dallas solely bc I've never had it. Will most likely be disappointed, but this just gives me a reason to argue with people when they rave about it

ok_cat dying on a plane crash into an Air Force Base might be one of the greatest BBS'n opportunities of all time.

ya their fries suck.
thing is, all fast food burgers don't suck. the only person that would say something so stupid would be an herbivore. trisysatops. clown.

Just landed at LAX. I fly to Santa Barbara in a few minutes so leaving LAX isn't an option.
Also, this thread is now about how I've seen roughly 12 pairs of fake tits in the 10 minutes I've been on the ground. California, amirite?

In and out is the iPhone of fast food burgers, if you think you're cool, you have to have one...

Does that make Whataburger the Android of fast food burgers? If so, :emawkid:
Also, how does Sonic compare to the cell phone market, alexander supertramp? Blackberry?
-
spot on with the droid.
Sonic is the Palm of fast food burgers. At one time, had it all going, now :flush:
Braums is the blackberry, has it's niche and has it nailed. Good burger and fries, will always be there.
-
it isn't really fast food. they take forever.

There is no burger place overrated more than In-N-Out. I was very disappointed with the whole experience.
-
Tried What-A-Burger for the first time on the way back from Austin last month and was quite disappointed. Could have had something to do with a bad hangover, but usually a solid fast food grease bomb is good in that situation. Definitely prefer Wendy's.

Nothing special about Whataburger either. I've never had White Castle, but want to. I assume that the Eiffel Tower analogy holds true?
-
There is nothing ever special about these types of places. Unless you have some sort of fast food bucket list. If you live in a town that has one you don't they're that great until you talk to someone from a town that doesn't have one.
BTW, have you guys had Vista, holy crap completely changes the fast food game.

Just so I'm straight, there's nothing special about these fast food places except for Vista, which is a game changer.

yes, Vista will m ake you want to hack off your tongue with a meat cleaver (and therefore end all your fast food eating for life).
Of all the fast food burger stands, I prefer Freddy's and 5 guys.
-
freddy's is pretty damn good, just had it for the first time last week and plan on going back tomorrow for lunch. their burgers remind me of winstead's.

Only had whatabuger when I was hammered. I vaguely remember it being pretty tasty. Carls Jr/Hardees are great, if you're a super fatass and just have to order a 6 lb burger. Braums/Sonic are both very good if you go to the right locations but also pretty bad at the wrong locations. Just discovered the chili cheese tots @ Sonic like a month ago. :embarrassed: Best burger I've had in a while is at Walts in Wichita. :lick:
-
I ate at In and Out and was not impressed. I think they made the fries out of cardboard.

they make most of their food out of poop

Good burgs and shakes tho

can't wait for mocat's BURGERMANIA report from lunch today

Yeah, what was that place

BOGEYSMANIA

I usually skip the fries

i can't drive by one without feeling contemptuous of, and superior to, its patrons.

i'm going to burgermania my ass off tomorrow at jim's diner on prospect

all of you buffoons posting so terribly made me want to smang some in-N-out
-
In-N-Out is so controversial!
-
Lol at ever getting fries anywhere, I'm done with that
-
you missed some good curlies today
-
on sunday I made my own burgers (elite smash style that turned out amazing) but picked up mcdonalds (makudo narudo) fries to go with.
-
Yeah the burger was good. I should have reviewed this thread before deciding on the fries.
-

That is EXACTLY what I try to tell everyone about this place. Burgers are good (but nothing special) and fries are cardboard.

Couple of pro tips that will improve your in n out burger experience
1. order it animal style
2. get chiles on it (sp?)
I find it pretty gross without those 2 items

can you tell them to burn your fries to edible

I was going to put this in the ways gE is affecting your life thread, but this one is here so...
I walked nearly two miles in Albuquerque today for Whataburger and it was much better than I remembered.

I absolutely thought of you while eating it too. I got a double, two slices of cheese, grilled peppers and onions. My first Whataburger since I moved from Dallas in 2004.

now we're talking MIR

whataburger is good, hits its kenpom consistently.

Great job Mir

I have asked for well done fries, they are even cardboardeier
-
The week I lived in Dallas last year I participated in a personal Whataburger/In -n- Out Burger-Off as I had never had either. I enjoyed the Whataburger a little bit more than I-n-N. I thought the fries were pretty good at I-n-N. Afterwards I told my Dallas co-workers that Whataburger tasted like Sonic and they all wanted to fight me.
-
Lots of LFFIQ posts ITT.
-
hatingfrancis, you were asking for that one

good god
-
lol at a fast food place taking a special order on well done fries. :ROFL:
-
it is kinda sad they have to do that, though appears the well established #ack is pointless if they're just crispy cardboard instead of soggy cardboard anyways :frown:
-
They aren't soggy
-
it's been my experience :dunno:

Interesting

a little overdone, but that's better than underdone tots - 5/7
burger was standard diner size, requiring you to obvi order a double chee. it was cooked to perfection, with ketch, must, 'ions and picks. bun was a nice surprise in the softness department. overall good texture everywhere on this burg. pretty much exactly what you want from a diner burg - 6/7
atmosphere - like too gross to be nice but not gross enough to be charmingly gross (could also describe salina v well) - 2/7
-
wish i could find you a pic of what it looked like before they made it the swanky upscale eatery that it is today (charmingly lol)

currently sitting outside max's burgers & gyros awaiting my delicious hamburger
so much better than whatever you fancy out of towners call a hamburger
-
Hope you photograph that sob
-
did not. too busy housing it.

Turns out that CaliBurger is 100 times better than In-n-Out.
-
I feel it needs to be made clear that if you order at Whatabuger you are wasting your life if you don't get something off their "All Time Favorites" menu. Patty melt and chophouse cheddar (not always available) are my two favs.

There's one of those here. Never been. It's in a spot that would really only make sense to go to if you lived or worked within a few blocks from it.

I can't wrap my head around animal fries. They look disgusting.
-
:barf:
-
what is that on top of the fries? thousand island dressing? refried vomit?
-
Yes. Thousand Island Dressing. My buddy in LA is shocked that I wouldn't love that glob of goo. Tries to get me to order them every time. :Yuck:
-
I love animal style fries but it appears I’m on the wrong side of history on this one
-
If you hate onions like many ppl do, that picture is your worst nightmare. :ohno:
-
Was delicious and will order again
-
Many people hate onions what?
-
Can't do raw onions any longer. Old man bowels. No bueno.
-
Onions are rough ridin' disgusting.
-
i like a giant intact slice of raw onion on the right kindof burger. ideally the whole diameter and 20% of the beef thickness
