In-N-Out Burger

[Phishfan]

I have been out west this week and finally made it a priority to get a Double Double and see if this place really is as advertised by their loyal fans. I'm guessing most of you that lived out west have eaten there and many of us that traveled there have given it a shot or we had at least heard of the place. I gave it a shot yesterday. I was actually in there before the advertised open and wasn't even the first in line. The burger was good, I had the grilled onions. It was a bit sloppy with the onions, melted cheese and sauce but I don't mind that myself. The fries left a little to be desired I thought but were passable. The milkshake wasn't anything special that I felt. Overall the burger carried the meal, which I expected. The place was absolutely packed at lunch time but it was surprisingly efficient. I enjoyed the experience and would eat it again but I wouldn't get another shake.

I have still never sampled an In-N-Out Burger...and it is at the top of my fast food bucket list.

Doesn't do anything for me. I was even less impressed by the fries then you, I thought they were quite possibly the worst I've ever had. Been there once, will never go back. They can have it.

You'll likely be disappointed. In my humble opinion what makes this place is their ability to customize the burger to your own specific tastes. You have to know HOW to order the burger. If you just go in and order a burger off the menu you will be disappointed as it will just be a burger, nothing special about it. What you have to do is special order your burger from their hidden menu. The problem is I don't know how you are supposed to figure out what's available on the hidden menu, maybe you have to know someone who's a vet and ask them what's on the menu?

My wife tried it a couple of years ago and wasn't overly impressed. On a different note  ... we we recently tried Culver's and she has fallen in love with them.  They do make a good burger, fries and shakes. Ice cream too.

there's a local place in palm beach county that has amazing french fries. Buds chicken.. the fried chicken is good .. but the fries are great.

i tried culvers for the first time a few months ago since they have one in jupiter. They were ok, the frozen custard was really good .. i'd say they fit a slot in between a standard fast food place and a fast casual place .. they're smack in between those two

In-N-Out is incredibly overrated.  Five Guys is pretty much the-same-but-better.

The fries in particular are far superior at Five Guys.

Oh yeah I'm all over Culvers. Try the Pork Tenderloin sandwich if you haven't tried it.

Or maybe they could you know show it to you? Nah that wouldn't be any fun. I googled it and wasn't impressed. So I can add another patty and another piece of cheese? That makes it great? Wow, wish there was another burger joint that did that...oh wait they ALL do that AND they put it on their MENU!!!! As I said, they can have it.

It is a marking gimmick.  Ya know kinda like having unassigned seats on an airplane.

Is Culver's like a Steak and Shake?

Never been to In-N-Out Burger or Culvers since there are none around me. However, we do have Five Guys and I like them a lot. Where does Red Robin fit into this discussion? I don't have any of those around here either, but I was in the panhandle last year on vacation and finally ate at Red Robin and I wasn't impressed. I mean, it wasn't bad or anything, just not really anything special. Just another burger.

On the same theme. I rarely eat at any of them, but what order do you rank the big three, McD, BK, or Wendys?

Steak n Shake fries are the worst on my list
