In and Out Burgers:

[irlandaise]

We'll have to agree to disagree on this point. Have you ever tried them light?

Isn't that just raw potatoes?

When I first saw the reference to "light fries" in this thread, I thought it meant less salt. Then I googled it and discovered that the term meant the fries were cooked less. Ugh, limp French fries. No thank you!

It is a vast improvement to the dried out fries than normally serve, to me at least. But as I originally said I am going to see if they can make them between "light" and regular. Hopefully that will be the best of both world? Not too dried out but not as "limp" or soggy.

We have In-N-Out here in Dallas but it just doesn't hit the same like it does when I'm in Southern California. And for those saying it's overrated and only locals like it, there are 43 locations here in Texas now and if you drive by any of them, in a land with Texas originals like Whataburger, they are always packed with long drive-thru lines.

In WA state: zero!! Even in Seattle area

I love all the in and out haters

You show me any burger place with as good food at its price...I'll be waiting because they do no exist

Sure X burger is better...and your adding on 7-10 bucks more per meal.

I hope you enjoy it for there price, no other burger compares also make sure to ask for extra secret sauce to dip your fries in or add to your burger

Five Guys. We love their burgers and shakes. Fries don’t make the drive home. Even the peanuts are good.
We had In And Out a few years back because they don’t exist in NY and we had to see what the hype was all about. Thought it was okay, but not as good as Five Guys. Just as well, cause that’s what we get out here lol

It'll be fun to try it if that's what you want to do, but honestly, I don't get the extreme fandom. It's fine, but it's just a burger to me and not something I'd leave DL to get.

Five guys is way more $$$ than In & Out. They do have superior fries though.

And Dick’s! I think that is most comparable price and style wise to INO. And, IMHO superior.

But it’s always fun to go to a novel burger spot when traveling.

Exactly. Five guys is like double the price. It better be good (and it is )

Ridgefield has one opening up in the near future! It's weird. I tend to only like the ones in Southern California and feel the ones in Oregon were subpar. Might just be nostalgia though because for forever In-N-Out was associated to Disneyland because I only got it when we visited there. My husband swears by the mustard grilled patty. I get a plain cheeseburger with double grilled onions and we both think the fries are soggy/soft if we don't order them well. I like a crispy fry though.

Dick's Drive in, there's several Puget sound locations.

I went to a Five Guys years ago in Dalton, GA on the way down to WDW. They had no locations (or very few) in Michigan at that time and also didn't have the sky-high prices yet. Just as with In-n-Out, even though I had been looking forward to it, I ended up thinking, "That's it?" Unless the quality has improved, I am not sure why people would be so eager to pay their current prices, but obviously a lot of people are.

You can get a Combo for a burger price at five guys....so I could not care the two

You can feed a family of 4 at In and Out for under 25 bucks, thats my point. Nothing thats the cheap is that good tasting at any other fast food restaurant

 

[disneychrista]

When you get down to it. In & Out is fast food. It is better in quality than McDonald's or Burger King and on par price wise. Five Guys while on par with In & Out it also costs twice as much. Last time I went I paid $17 for a burger and fries. That's what I pay when I go to a brewery for lunch. I don't want to pay that much for fast food.

 

[BrianL]

Yeah, it's not like In-N-Out is the best burger in the world or anything, but it is quite good, inexpensive, and they have good service too! That combination, along with a well-cultivated image are what make it so beloved.

INO uses higher quality ingredients than Five Guys and has the highest standards in the industry. An example of this was anwhile ago, when they closed a handful of restaurants for a day because the shipment of buns they received didn’t meet corporate’s expectations.

That said, many people prefer Five Guys for its inclusion of unlimited toppings and/ or greasier burgers.

corporate-owned Five Guys are selling a $12.99 combo which include a single patty burger, small dry and drink. You can add a second patty for $1.50. This isn’t much more than INO given its multiple prices increase over the past year.

It is definitely the toppings and of course the super-sized fries.

The 5 guys here is grilled, not greasy, and they also use fresh ingredients. Maybe different locations prepare them differently- but, wouldn’t think so.

I don’t consume a whole lot of Fast Food, and would just as well buy some turkey meat and just grill it up ourselves. That’s what we usually do, but don’t mind paying a bit more if we don’t feel like cooking. $18 for a burger and fries is Disney Pricing perhaps, but I like the small size burger which is cheaper anyway. If we go out to eat, there’s drinks and tips and nowadays we hit $100 easy for 2.

Enjoy your burgers people, whatever floats your boat.
