Dallas OREGON?!?!?!

Double-double animal style for the goddamn win!

I miss In and Out.

Their fries suck.

*dives for cover*

I agree. Their burgers are awesome. Their fries taste stale.

They're too greasy, I generally have to douse them in salt and ketchup.

Check out In-n-Out's secret menu
http://www.badmouth.net/in-n-outs-secret-menu/

Here is what I always order
2x1 (2 patties 1 cheese)
extra grilled onions (free)
add jalapeno peppers (free)
extra toasted (free)
Animal style (they fry it with extra sauce and pickles. DELICIOUS)

The whole thing is more than enough for a grown man to feel full. Without fries. And it costs under $3.

To people who DONT like the fries, remember that in-n-out is like, the *ONLY* fast food place that gets their fries as potatos, cut them there, and fry them there.
You can order them well done or "light" (less done) too. AND you can order the fries animal style, which is really really delicious, but costs a bit extra.

I tend to not like their fries plain very much. However, getting their fries animal style is super delicious.

They will not survive against Sonic...

What? There are both In-N-Outs and Sonics in my area and they both manage to stay in business rather well.

in-n-out can survive against any fast food place.
their food just tastes so much fresher & real.

I missed Sonic until they made it to my hometown. In and Out is leagues ahead of them in taste. The only chain burger joint I feel is better than InO is Five Guys.

5 Guys Burgers & Fries is like the East Coast equivalent. They also do the fresh potatoe bit. It's not the same though.... I miss In n' Out

isn't 5 guys = east coast carls jr?

The only other fast food place i know that uses really fresh ingredients (about 50% comes from local farms/markets) is actually Chipotle.
Subway tastes fresh even though i know it all comes in plastic baggies ><

ya know, it's funny.. I helped encourage Sonic to open some restaurants in my city (hey, they DO listen! whattya know!) but lately, I haven't eaten there.. just haven't enjoyed they food with the high prices. Haven't eaten (or seen) a Inn N Out since 2001..maybe 2002.

I've had nothing but bad experience with Sonics. Could just be my local one, but half they time they leave you sitting out there for over half an hour and when you push the button again turns out they had forgotten all about your order.

No, not even close. I think Hardee's and Carl's Jr are the same, but 5 Guys is very very different.

what? WOW.. you should complain, but I commend you for your patience! Maximum hold time for me is 3-5 minutes..trust me, they DON'T forget about me!

I don't think I even waited that long during the free root beer float promotion, including the time it took to find a parking spot.

Problem with our one is they make you pay by credit card at the kiosk as soon as you order, before you get your food. You can't just change your mind and decide not to give them your business because you already GAVE them your business for the privileged of waiting around in their parking lot. Driving off would just leave you with nothing. Hence, I avoid ever going to Sonics.

How is that different from going to a Burger King or a McDonald's or any other joint where you pay before they give you your food? You also don't have to pay with credit card; they do accept cash. If you honestly feel that you received a sub-par experience there is always the option of asking for a refund (BEFORE you finish your food).

Yup, I know. But that doesn't make them good for me, and certainly doesn't make them taste good.

I tried animal style fries once. It still didn't taste good, on account of the cardboard-tasting fries.

I tried the fries of In and Out when I was in Utah. It was not bad. I think the thing is that it is fresh potato with no artificial stuff "put into" the fries. I like it.

The only thing I kenw abot In-and-Out is that one is mentioned in The Big Leboski... But this "secret menu" thing is awesome!

I thought the only reason In-and-Out stayed in business was the drive thru innuendo.

They call it In-and-Out because you eat it and it makes you poop.


True story.

And then he died.

No, I just feel and smell like it.


(*I need to go home and go back to bed. The flu sucks.)

In-n-Out always reminds me of my Anthropology professor. She was from California and ranted about a lot of the differences between home and Louisiana. The top 3 being:

1. No In-n-Out, which sucked
2. Louisianians wouldn't know a proper winter coat if it bit them on the ass
3. We flash our brights to tell people to "go ahead" in traffic, which was weird to her.

I had In-n-Out a couple times when I was in Sacremento on business a few years back. My boss was all gushing about the place. "You just HAVE to try these burgers!!!!" blah blah blah. So I went.

Honestly, I didn't see what all the fuss was about. I figured he just got sucked into the hype. It reminded me of when Alanis Morissette was the new popular thing. One of my friends went on and on about how hot she was. I told him "She's not hot. You just like her because she's popular. She has a horse face." Which caused no end of arguments. Then, one day, after she was no longer the 'next new thing' he said "You know, she kind of does have a horse face." I just rolled my eyes at him.

So yeah, In-n-Out has a horse face

heh.. They are coming July 4th! (so I'm told) whee. I gotta find an article on that.

Pretty much this. At the end of the day, it's just a burger. There's a mom and pop burger place in the town I went to college in that is far superior to all fast food burger joints. They make the patty in front of you. They baked their own buns. Cut the potatoes there (they actually soak them in salt water ahead of time), etc, etc. In-and-Out is decent (better than Wendy's, McDonald's, Burger King, Jack in the box, etc), but is not worth all the hype IMO. Now, Whataburger makes the best fast-food burger for me. It tastes more fresh than most places.

I wish they would open one up near me

I've had In-and-Out two times since coming to San Diego. I didn't think it was all that impressive considering I waited 20 minutes for soggy fries and a squashed burger with too much onion. I'd rather have a burger from Islands if I'm going to wait for it.

Burger Island.... mmmmmm

You and I are burger twins I love Whataburger. Calli rolls her eyes at me, because that's my #1 choice out of all the burger joints near the house.

Whatburger is awesomesauce, let me also throw out Dairy Queen. Amazing burgers

Maybe it's just the one near me, but Dairy Queen burgers taste EXACTLY like Burger King ones. If I wanted Burger King burgers, I could have gone to Burger King and gotten them cheaper there.

Now if you want a REALLY addicting burger, you wanna go to White Castle.

That's another place I miss. Islands was so good.

I love White Castle. My wife doesn't (she is in-and-out gal) but we have a good burger place call Burger Island (9 in Dallas area) it is awesome.

I do love Whataburger since I use to work there. It is pretty cool place and their food is fresh and cook right there. (no nuking)

If you're ever in Lafayette, Louisiana, stop by Judice Inn or Southside Bakery.

If you're REALLY hungry, go to Southside. The thing's enormous, and the bun's homemade. The Judice Inn burger is smaller and simpler, but the sauce on it is spicy and great. They don't serve fries, but you can order Zapp's chips.

I like DQ, but I don't like that they don't season their burgers. The chicken fried steak, and chicken fingers are what I go there for.

I grew up in CA with about three In-N-Outs near me, and recently moved to Michigan (with a Whitecastle about a fifteen minute walk away). I greatly prefer Whitecastle, but we'll see how my tastes change in a few years after no In-N-Out and the novelty's worn off.

Same here, went from two InO's within 10 minutes to a Krystal every other block. It was great at first.

One burger that surprised me with how good it was is the Del Taco burger. My parents went through the drive-through, I was kind of sick of tacos at the moment so ordered the burger, not expecting much of anything. It was actually really good.

Though it could just be a "you thought it was going to suck so it was comparatively great when you found out it didn't, in fact, suck all that much" moment.

Um, I don't know about you guys, but when I eat something, regardless of the source, it makes me poop.

You're doing it right.

Just had whataburger today for the first time. Hot damn that was good fast food

Yes, we have a fast food convert.

Man the Whataburger over here is garbage. I hear such great things about them--well, as great as you can hear about fast food, anyway.
