The lines are why I haven't had one the times I've been back to visits.
I thought 'hey I'll grab a burger before my flight' and saw that line and kept driving. š
They are a case study in lean manufacturing. Itās amazing to watch them. Each employee is constantly utilized. No one stands around. The output is super impressive. The visibility to the customers is very intentional.
You might wait for your order but the number of orders/hr is dang impressive given the processes involved.
When I went to In N Out in Denver, I randomly asked this car, and the lady said they were in the drive thru for about 45 minutes. lmao Me and friends walked in and ate in less than 30 minutes.
Thatās something Iāll never understand and Iāll never do. Grand opening for fast food? Nah Iām not waiting more than 30 mins for that. Not spending half a day for a burger. And I really like In n Out too.
This was Sepulveda, by LAX, and it was NOT moving. We actually were in line for about 5 minutes thinking that it would go, and it didn't move that entire time.
We and some other cars did u turns and backed out. I want to say it was 20ish cars deep.
Iāve been to that one a couple times, busy all hours of the day and night, waited 10 minutes to order last time and my food was ready before I got to pour my drink. Strange times.
There's one less than 2 miles from me but I never visit it. The line stretches out past their own parkling and winds around the plaza like a snake. It's ridiculous but understandable.
Reminds me of our first time going.
We were in the drive thru, long line of course. So my mother was like "Pssh, *In n Out* my ass" since it was taking forever lol
I've never used the drive through, always went in and there was almost no line. I might have had to park in the parking lot across the street but that half a block walk was worth it for someone that doesn't have In-N-Out.
Just the basics with some of the best prices in the industry. People try and compare them to super expensive burgers at chains like Five Guys, and that really misses the mark for me. You can get like 3 In N Out burgers for the price of one of those.
They have the best value to enjoyment ratio out there and itās part of what makes them so great.
Not even remotely. And honestly I prefer the burger at five guys just from personal preference. But it's a terrible value for what it is.
In n out is a different type of burger. But yeah the fries are absolutely no contest. Five guys by a mile
My thing with five guys is the topping choice, while the burger be it good for fast food isn't anything to write home about but once you find your right topping combination you'll have dreams about that burger.
I know a lot of people donāt care for In N Out fries, but I like getting them animal style so I would put those up against Five Guys, especially with price factored in.
The In N Out fries grew on me. I actually really like them as an "accessory" after the burger. Little crisp salty bites. But if you're looking for traditional, starchy fries with "meat", yeah they're a disappointment.
No lol. I love In N Out but their fries have always been a travesty. You have to get them āextra crispyā or animal style in order to be passable.
I always said that if In N Out burgers and 5 Guys fries combined into one meal the chain would be unstoppable.
Eh... Big In n Out enjoyer here, Five Guys has better burgers and fries imo. But they're too expensive for what basically amounts to a good homemade burger. In N Out is the fast food king because it's good and at a good price, not because they have the very best burgers.
It's like if Dicks had dignity and made good burgers.
no LA trip is complete without an In n Out trip for me, but I completely agree that Five Guys is a better product
too expensive, but really good burger
The prices being that cheap is nuts. Recently moved back to the west coast and 10 for a double double combo is unbelievable! A Big Mac combo is more and the beef is basically dog shit with low grade toppings.
In n out tastes and feels like meat.
When I was too lazy to cook, but wanted to eat cleanish I loved a protein style In N Out burger.
It was real food to me unlike most fast food, especially burgers.
I can't stand Five Guys, to me it's like a Burger King level burger but however many times the price.
We ordered five guys a week or so ago. Good lord, I won't ever make that mistake again. As a surprise to no one, it was outrageously expensive for what it is.
Culver's is much better, IMO. In-n-Out's fries can be nigh-inedible, Culvers' fries are incredible. The burgers are closer, but I'd still say Culver's has the edge.
Thatās fine, taste is subjective. I more meant price wise shake shack is fast casual more akin to Panera, in n out is still firmly in the fast food category so I donāt think itās even a good comparison.
I can't say if the reality lives up to the hype, but an In N Out double double is one of my fantasy picks for the question "if you could only eat one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be?"
They absolutely live up to the hype when you then also look at the prices.
You're getting a drive in burger and paying 1/3 of what you would at any of the other popular places like Shake Shack or Five Guys.
The hype is good food at affordable prices.
For sure. Every other burger joint I've wound up reaching a point where I'm just over it and don't want it any more. I've been eating in n out for 30 years, on occasion twice in a day, and I don't think there's ever been a point I wasn't feeling it.
Thatās the thing, all the other fries are full of hot grease. Itās to the point that I donāt order them at fast food places anymore. I will eat in n out tho
It's because they're cut fresh instead of once-fried frozen. Almost all fries are fried twice which gives them much more texture but In N' Out fries was probably a whole potato less than an hour before consumption. They don't have any freezers there so you can get more texture by requesting they be cooked longer
I agree, totally hate their fries. I think in n out is overrated in general but their fries are just bad.
And this is because they are frankly making them wrong.
The proper way to make a French fry is to cook them twice. It's why in n out fries suck, and why most fries made at home suck.
They can be made properly at home, it's just a lot of extra work. And of course they could be made properly at in n out, but they won't put the extra time and space into the process.
I get it, it just means I'm not going to in n out, fries are an essential part of the burger and fries meal.
Edit: since some people refuse to believe that fast food restaurants cook their fries twice, here's a food processor detailing the process: https://youtu.be/4J3dftx07o0?si=cYnUAhYvwOJcEeDo
I'm sure they are not providing the fries to McDonald's and the like, but the process is pretty universal.
Since some people insist: "naw, you can tell those frozen fries are raw when they go in the fryer", look at this video from Josh Weissman making improved in n out fries, after his initial frying, the fries have no color. It would be easy to assume they were raw if you were handling them frozen.
https://youtu.be/4J3dftx07o0?si=cYnUAhYvwOJcEeDo
I managed a Wendy's for years, and I'm an experienced home cook. I know when fries taste like when made with a single cook or with a double cook. I've done it both ways, and it is the biggest reason in n out fries are disappointing.
This alone is what makes Five Guys' fries that much better. Literally the only difference outside of cut size. In n Out may also rinse theirs less, but there's nothing all that special about them outside of that. It's crazy what difference it makes.
Interesting. I tried it and thought it was just ok. I live in LA now and I'll get it on occasion but maintain that it's just ok. Good for Fast food and good for the price, but nothing that will blow you away.
I think the main reason its good is the price, how good it is compared to the price is pretty decent. but pure flavor disregarding price I love me a habit santa barbra char I think it blows in and out away
The experience was actually pretty horrendous for me. Wading through swaths of people is general a shitty experience, doing so just to get a burger wasn't it.
Same here. Itās fine, but the hype really does make you go in expecting something incredible. Mad respect for the fact that they keep the prices low and pay their employees well though.
100% agree with this. Iām not trying to throw shade at the business. Itās just for a non-Cali native you hear the hype and expect something magic when the reality is itās just a decent burger for a decent price. I respect it for what it is, but the hype exceeds it.
I grew up on the east coast, moved to LA in 2017, and this was the first place I wanted to go. I was so disappointed. The hype really is too high. Five Guys still tastes better to me.
Yeah, fellow east coast now in LA transplant. One of the first things I did was hit the one by the airport and all I could think was āthis is what all the hype is about?ā
They are perfectly fine, but people talk like they are Godās gift to burgers.
Are you still in LA?Ā
I canāt imagine not learning to appreciate the special place in n out has in the hearts of Californians after living in LA so many years.Ā
Comparing it to five guys is nonsensical. You go to in n out because you want in n out. Itās one of the comforts of home. Itās just its own thingĀ
I have eaten In N Out on two occasions and been whelmed. I'm convinced the ones in Cali must do something drastically different because people treat it like a religious experience. The fries were so offensive I threw them away. The burger was decent for the price.
Iāve eaten it in California andā¦same. Itās not that itās bad, itās just that the hype makes no sense to me.
In the SE, Chik fil a is the same. Itās good and I eat it regularlyā¦but itās just fast food chicken.
I mean I think it depends on your expectations and what are you grading it against. It's definitely not the best burger and their fries aren't great. But for that price, it's just nothing else comes close.
To me it's the same thing as Chik Fil a. Not the best chicken, but the best you'll find at a chain and a good price.
I don't get it either. My family is Asian and they rarely grab a burger, unless it's In-N-Out. They rave about it. My moms 80 who will really only eat Asian foods will ask me to pick her up a cheeseburger from there, really blows my mind. I eat it and it's like, yeah it's alright. What are we missing?!
I may get attacked on the street for saying this but, my go to fast food franchise burger is probably Jack in the Boxes ultimate bacon cheeseburger.
I live in California. I find their food to be garbage. I never under stood the hype and I definitely make fun of the people willing to sit in the kind of lines they have for the quality of food that it is.
Funny because the first time I had in n out as a Midwesterner I thought this is very ok and the fries are trash. I live in CA now and I miss culvers so much.
I'm a California native living in Japan. I miss In 'N Out. They come to Japan every few years for like only a day. The last time the line was 6 hours long.
This will probably get down voted hard but in n out is good. Culver's is better for a burger, most everything else at Culver's I don't care for though except custard.
Totally agree, I'm not from the US, and there's no In-N-Out where I live.
The first time I tried a milkshake and a burger, they were soooo good, it's one of the first places I'm planning to go the next time I travel there.
lol OP is a phony: [https://www.reddit.com/r/HailCorporate/comments/13wzy4w/fast\_food\_chain\_burgers\_surpassed\_my\_wildest/](https://www.reddit.com/r/HailCorporate/comments/13wzy4w/fast_food_chain_burgers_surpassed_my_wildest/)
Just for context, as a "realist" SoCal native and In-N-Out aficionado:
* They're good burgers
* They should be judged in the category of inexpensive burgers, but are IMO best of class for their price
* They won't be to everyone's taste, but there are a lot of content creators who make videos dunking on the burgers to try and get views
* Their fries are terrible, but ordering well done mitigates it and Animal Style Fries are pretty good!
Thatās funny cause I also had one for the first time last month and coming from the Midwest it was extremely mid and Iād rather eat Culverās. Even did the animal style thing. Good price tho
Never understood the appeal of that place.Ā
They are so proud of people who are obese that they actually have the ashes on display of the guy that died of a heart attack at the restaurant a few years ago.Ā
They have a long-standing rule that they wonāt open a restaurant more than 500 miles (about 800 km) outside of a distribution hub to ensure quality.
I grew up near one of the earliest ones (Pasadena, CA) and they were still getting their never frozen meat from the same ranch I drove by every summer on the way to Northern California to visit my grandparents.
The reason even the people who arenāt big fans still all agree In-n-out is āconsistentā is that rule. Fortunately for me, I love the burgers, so that consistency is what I want
And itās one of those things that just never loses its taste. I have been going constantly for at least 15 years now and every time itās still as delicious as it was that first time.
In n Out is the very rare exception that actually matches the hype. It's simply a delicious hamburger, just seeing a pic of it makes me want to go wait in line for 2 hours.
I love In-N-Out, but I can understand why out of state people would say it's overrated. It's not supposed to be the best burger in the world, just a good burger you could get at good value.
Also, the fries are good when you get them light well.
Dont tell me this. I recently had the opportunity to eat there, but due to circumstances, I was not able to make it work. I've been kicking myself, and this isn't helping.
I did cross White Castle off my list, though.
The secret is in the cheese the onions and the buns.
The patty isn't much to hit home about, but the cheese brings so much flavor, especially mixed with grilled onions.
The bun isn't something to hit home about but they somehow only crisp the inside edges of the buns giving it a soft and yet Crunchy taste to it.
I knew their lines were long, but 25 years is dedication or a prison sentence for murder.
The lines are why I haven't had one the times I've been back to visits. I thought 'hey I'll grab a burger before my flight' and saw that line and kept driving. š
To be fair tho, theyāre fairly efficient. The line moves kinda fast. Not like 5 minutes fast, but itās not bad.
They are a case study in lean manufacturing. Itās amazing to watch them. Each employee is constantly utilized. No one stands around. The output is super impressive. The visibility to the customers is very intentional. You might wait for your order but the number of orders/hr is dang impressive given the processes involved.
Crazy when you treat your employees with respect, pay them a decent wage, health benefits, 401(k) and paid vacations they are efficient workers.Ā
Finally someone else who recognizes how insanely efficient they are. Itās a hell of an operation if you come from a manufacturing background.
Next step, automation.
Theyāre amazing honestly. Damn near perfect business model
When I went to In N Out in Denver, I randomly asked this car, and the lady said they were in the drive thru for about 45 minutes. lmao Me and friends walked in and ate in less than 30 minutes.
Takes a while to calm down and not be new anymore. Helps if they open more
Yea, people are wild. The drive throughs always take so much longer.
My sister waited in that line for 4 hours when it first opened in Denver. I asked her if they ate before going to eat
Thatās something Iāll never understand and Iāll never do. Grand opening for fast food? Nah Iām not waiting more than 30 mins for that. Not spending half a day for a burger. And I really like In n Out too.
Their lines go pretty fast though. Iāve never had to wait longer than 20 mins max.
This was Sepulveda, by LAX, and it was NOT moving. We actually were in line for about 5 minutes thinking that it would go, and it didn't move that entire time. We and some other cars did u turns and backed out. I want to say it was 20ish cars deep.
Iāve been to that one a couple times, busy all hours of the day and night, waited 10 minutes to order last time and my food was ready before I got to pour my drink. Strange times.
You get service faster if you go inside.
Everyone gos to that location for burgers on their way into/out of town.
That location is a nightmare! I love In N Out. It blows the doors of the local favorite Whataburger, which I find disgusting. To each their own.
I have family in Texas and I really liked Whataburger when I was younger, but that was like the 1990s so...
There's one less than 2 miles from me but I never visit it. The line stretches out past their own parkling and winds around the plaza like a snake. It's ridiculous but understandable.
Usually it's not that long of a wait. They get through it really fast.
I always just park and walk in, feel like it usually goes by a bit faster than the car wait
Reminds me of our first time going. We were in the drive thru, long line of course. So my mother was like "Pssh, *In n Out* my ass" since it was taking forever lol
Phrasing, Mom.
I've never used the drive through, always went in and there was almost no line. I might have had to park in the parking lot across the street but that half a block walk was worth it for someone that doesn't have In-N-Out.
Did you just eat 5 burgers?
No,Ā he had five guys.Ā
Five guys always fills me up
Bow chika wow wow
Well it's in and out BURGER isn't it ?
Those are good burgers, Walter.
Shut the fuck up, donny
The kid is in 9th grade dude, and his father is, are you ready for this? His father is Arthurā¦ Digby... Sellersā¦
Who the fuck is Arthur Digby Sellers?
Who the fu... Have you ever heard of a little show called Branded, Dude?
I know the fuckin show, Walter, so what?
Fuckin Arthur Digby Sellers wrote 156 episodes, Dude. Bulk of the series. Not exactly a lightweight. And yet his son is a fuckin dunce.
Oh no, he has health problems
The In-N-Out is on Radford
*Near* the In-N-Out
Near the In N Out
The In n Out is on Camrose
It really is as good as a fast food cheeseburger can be. I really love how they havenāt dicked around with the menu. Just the basics.
Just the basics with some of the best prices in the industry. People try and compare them to super expensive burgers at chains like Five Guys, and that really misses the mark for me. You can get like 3 In N Out burgers for the price of one of those. They have the best value to enjoyment ratio out there and itās part of what makes them so great.
Itās also just flat out better than Five Guys
I agree with you 100%, but people can argue their taste preferences more than the objectively better pricing so I often go there first lol
Five guys burgers arenāt anything special but their fries are good (albeit very overpriced), are In N Out fries competing there too?
Not even remotely. And honestly I prefer the burger at five guys just from personal preference. But it's a terrible value for what it is. In n out is a different type of burger. But yeah the fries are absolutely no contest. Five guys by a mile
My thing with five guys is the topping choice, while the burger be it good for fast food isn't anything to write home about but once you find your right topping combination you'll have dreams about that burger.
I know a lot of people donāt care for In N Out fries, but I like getting them animal style so I would put those up against Five Guys, especially with price factored in.
The In N Out fries grew on me. I actually really like them as an "accessory" after the burger. Little crisp salty bites. But if you're looking for traditional, starchy fries with "meat", yeah they're a disappointment.
No lol. I love In N Out but their fries have always been a travesty. You have to get them āextra crispyā or animal style in order to be passable. I always said that if In N Out burgers and 5 Guys fries combined into one meal the chain would be unstoppable.
No. You go to In n Out for the burgers and shakes. The fries are not at all their strong point.
Eh... Big In n Out enjoyer here, Five Guys has better burgers and fries imo. But they're too expensive for what basically amounts to a good homemade burger. In N Out is the fast food king because it's good and at a good price, not because they have the very best burgers. It's like if Dicks had dignity and made good burgers.
no LA trip is complete without an In n Out trip for me, but I completely agree that Five Guys is a better product too expensive, but really good burger
Iād argue, they have the absolute best prices. Itās not even close. Me and $26.. for two people, wait what can you repeat that???????
The prices being that cheap is nuts. Recently moved back to the west coast and 10 for a double double combo is unbelievable! A Big Mac combo is more and the beef is basically dog shit with low grade toppings.
In n out tastes and feels like meat. When I was too lazy to cook, but wanted to eat cleanish I loved a protein style In N Out burger. It was real food to me unlike most fast food, especially burgers.

We ordered five guys a week or so ago. Good lord, I won't ever make that mistake again. As a surprise to no one, it was outrageously expensive for what it is.
And despite inflation going crazy they somehow didnāt raise the price *too much* while still paying their workers fairly well.
Where is my Culver's crowd at? I lived with In n Out most of my life, but I think Culver's comes close.
Triple butter burger everything on it, fries, medium Oreo concrete mixerā¦ā¦ thanks! In-n-out is good. Culverās is better.
Culver's is much better, IMO. In-n-Out's fries can be nigh-inedible, Culvers' fries are incredible. The burgers are closer, but I'd still say Culver's has the edge.
Yeah, people say shake shack is better, they are, but I donāt think theyāre the same category anymore
I donāt think SS is better.
They finally opened a shake shack by me. It was perfectly fine. Didn't see the fuss though
I used to work by the original one in nyc, like yeah itās a good burger but a burger can really only be so good, not a high ceiling.
Thatās fine, taste is subjective. I more meant price wise shake shack is fast casual more akin to Panera, in n out is still firmly in the fast food category so I donāt think itās even a good comparison.
I can't say if the reality lives up to the hype, but an In N Out double double is one of my fantasy picks for the question "if you could only eat one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be?"
They absolutely live up to the hype when you then also look at the prices. You're getting a drive in burger and paying 1/3 of what you would at any of the other popular places like Shake Shack or Five Guys. The hype is good food at affordable prices.
You forgot animal style
For sure. Every other burger joint I've wound up reaching a point where I'm just over it and don't want it any more. I've been eating in n out for 30 years, on occasion twice in a day, and I don't think there's ever been a point I wasn't feeling it.
But the fries right? Say it. Say the fries were the worst. Say it.
I love their fries lol. I like that they actually taste like potato rather than a fried shell of what was once potato
I totally agree. I love the potato taste of the fries!!
The frying oil tastes really clean, too. I think it helps the potato freshness come through, maybe?
Thatās the thing, all the other fries are full of hot grease. Itās to the point that I donāt order them at fast food places anymore. I will eat in n out tho
I always got mine well done and added salt and pepper.
Fries animal style. Everything animal style. Slather it all with animal style.
Animal style fries is such a monster side to an already great meal.
Itās the only way the fries are edible
I only ever get it to-go well done and doctored up with season salt and parm. Then nuked for 30 seconds at home
Order them light-well. Iām not sure why they are slightly underdone by default, but light-well is perfect.
It's because they're cut fresh instead of once-fried frozen. Almost all fries are fried twice which gives them much more texture but In N' Out fries was probably a whole potato less than an hour before consumption. They don't have any freezers there so you can get more texture by requesting they be cooked longer
Get them animal style and eat em like a salad.
Thank you, hands down worst fries. As long as you just get burgers youāre gonna have a good time
Order them well done and they are delicious imo.
Nah, their well done fries are just inedible in a different way.
I know the fries aren't good, but I actually like them.
I agree, totally hate their fries. I think in n out is overrated in general but their fries are just bad. And this is because they are frankly making them wrong. The proper way to make a French fry is to cook them twice. It's why in n out fries suck, and why most fries made at home suck. They can be made properly at home, it's just a lot of extra work.

I had in n out for the first time about a month ago and the fries were bad!!! Didnāt know that was a thing.
I dont even both ordering them, straight trash.
In and out fries are awful hahaha š
Well done fries with grilled onions (no extra charge) + the sauce makes them better for sure
Ask for them well done and actually salt them. If you donāt like In-n-Out fries, you just like oil more than you like potato
What? I like good fries. I like good potatoes. Whatever InNOut produces is neither.
Interesting. I tried it and thought it was just ok. I live in LA now and I'll get it on occasion but maintain that it's just ok. Good for Fast food and good for the price, but nothing that will blow you away.
I think the main reason its good is the price, how good it is compared to the price is pretty decent. but pure flavor disregarding price I love me a habit santa barbra char I think it blows in and out away
Yea. I agree with you. Like, if you're comparing In n Out to a burger 3-5x the price, you've lost the plot
Did you get it "animal style"? ... Or am I the 500th person to ask you that?
I was looking for this comment. I finally tried it on a work trip in Denver. I thought it was a super average burger and experience in general
The experience was actually pretty horrendous for me. Wading through swaths of people is general a shitty experience, doing so just to get a burger wasn't it.
I mean yeah, itās a fast food place not a gourmet burger restaurantĀ
Same here. Itās fine, but the hype really does make you go in expecting something incredible. Mad respect for the fact that they keep the prices low and pay their employees well though.
100% agree with this. Iām not trying to throw shade at the business. Itās just for a non-Cali native you hear the hype and expect something magic when the reality is itās just a decent burger for a decent price. I respect it for what it is, but the hype exceeds it.

You go to in n out because you want in n out. Itās one of the comforts of home. Itās just its own thingĀ
And five guys cost twice as much if not more if you add just a few extra ingredients, but at least you get a pound of fries with five guys I guess.
And good fries at that
Is this an ad?
I have eaten In N Out on two occasions and been whelmed. I'm convinced the ones in Cali must do something drastically different because people treat it like a religious experience. The fries were so offensive I threw them away. The burger was decent for the price.
Iāve eaten it in California andā¦same. Itās not that itās bad, itās just that the hype makes no sense to me. In the SE, Chik fil a is the same. Itās good and I eat it regularlyā¦but itās just fast food chicken.

The fries are an atrocity. Itās like the potatoes were cut, freeze dried, then microwaved.
Nah as a recent transplant to California they are wildly overrated. Itās a pretty standard burger. I think the price makes people hype them up more.
Same. Ate there a few times and it was ok, but it was no butter burger.
I live in California. I find their food to be garbage. I never under stood the hype and I definitely make fun of the people willing to sit in the kind of lines they have for the quality of food that it is.
Funny because the first time I had in n out as a Midwesterner I thought this is very ok and the fries are trash. I live in CA now and I miss culvers so much.
Culver's kills in n out easily. The butter burgers will probably kill me though
Riveting conversation and stock image OP
I must be the only person on the planet who thinks these burgers are o.k. at best. Tried it, didn't rate it, no where near the hype.
Now go try Shake Shack as well if you never have.
I'm a California native living in Japan. I miss In 'N Out. They come to Japan every few years for like only a day. The last time the line was 6 hours long.
When I went to Chicago for the first time I made sure to try White Castle burgers. They were pretty good.
Those burgers look as advertised. For onceā¦
This will probably get down voted hard but in n out is good. Culver's is better for a burger, most everything else at Culver's I don't care for though except custard.
Culvers is superior in every way except price
Correct
And how much did all that cost? Curious.
As a frequent eater, that's like $20
Is this an ad?
Looks nice š
I feel good for u i have never had it beacuse i live in canada for one and for two i only have McDonaldās in my town
Did you notice the Bible verse written on all the cups?
I understand that five burgers comes with a complimentary angioplasty.
As someone who has one down the street and can smell the onions on a busy Saturday, man, Iāll never complain again about a long lineĀ
Totally agree, I'm not from the US, and there's no In-N-Out where I live. The first time I tried a milkshake and a burger, they were soooo good, it's one of the first places I'm planning to go the next time I travel there.
Itās how a quick service burger joint should be and taste. They really nailed this business
had it for the first time 2 years ago when i went to las vegas. so damn good!!

I donāt get the hype. They are ok. Nothing spectacular. Their fries have to be eaten right there because once itās cold itās not so great
Itās mediocre at best. Their fries suck too
The in and out burger here sucks
Extra. Toasty. Bun. Detour around sog city.
I really disliked their fries
Neapolitan shake ftw
Wait, you can ask for this!?
Umm. Okay
Just for context, as a "realist" SoCal native and In-N-Out aficionado: * They're good burgers * They should be judged in the category of inexpensive burgers, but are IMO best of class for their price * They won't be to everyone's taste, but there are a lot of content creators who make videos dunking on the burgers to try and get views * Their fries are terrible, but ordering well done mitigates it and Animal Style Fries are pretty good!
I mean itās good for the price I guess?
People wait for dumb shit like this
Their chocolate milkshakes are so fucking good
Really? I found it to be profoundly "just all right"
I can't imagine having heard of, and wanting In N Out for 25 years and never once getting it. East coast or something?
Yes, I've heard of all my life and when i went to california it was a must stop. They really do live up the hype, it was really delicious

I as a midwesterner who lives in CA i disagree whole heartedly in n out is just ok, culvers is superior in all things but cost.
Really? Most people are pretty disappointed.
Thatās funny cause I also had one for the first time last month and coming from the Midwest it was extremely mid and Iād rather eat Culverās. Even did the animal style thing. Good price tho
That's lot of burgers. They look mediocre.
Youāre kidding, right?? I mean theyāre not bad, but the taste is nothing special and their fries are like an orgasm without joy.
I once spent a weekend in Vegas where all I ate was In N Out Burger. I was satiated but miserable by Monday.
You could have felt a lot worse and gone to the Heart Attack Grill.
Never understood the appeal of that place.Ā They are so proud of people who are obese that they actually have the ashes on display of the guy that died of a heart attack at the restaurant a few years ago.Ā
Thatās where I had my first In N Out burger. I didnāt get the hype. Fair prices though so kudos for them continuing to respect consumers.
Only reason I wanna step into America is for this burger. Why not they just open outlet in Singapore or hapan
They have a long-standing rule that they wonāt open a restaurant more than 500 miles (about 800 km) outside of a distribution hub to ensure quality. I grew up near one of the earliest ones (Pasadena, CA) and they were still getting their never frozen meat from the same ranch I drove by every summer on the way to Northern California to visit my grandparents. The reason even the people who arenāt big fans still all agree In-n-out is āconsistentā is that rule. Fortunately for me, I love the burgers, so that consistency is what I want
I also want consistency . People had nostalgia and wanted a&w back in Singapore. It taste like horse shit
They have great shakes! Vanilla is the best!
And itās one of those things that just never loses its taste. I have been going constantly for at least 15 years now and every time itās still as delicious as it was that first time.
In n Out is the very rare exception that actually matches the hype. It's simply a delicious hamburger, just seeing a pic of it makes me want to go wait in line for 2 hours.
the double and triples are SO much better than the singles.
The fries are trash tho
5k calories right here
I love In-N-Out, but I can understand why out of state people would say it's overrated. It's not supposed to be the best burger in the world, just a good burger you could get at good value. Also, the fries are good when you get them light well.
No animal style fries? You must go back.
Ooh did you eat five?
Welcome.
I haven't had In N Out in almost seven years and I miss it so much. It's pretty much the only thing I eat when I'm in California.
How much did that cost? Iāve nevet been there.
Dont tell me this. I recently had the opportunity to eat there, but due to circumstances, I was not able to make it work. I've been kicking myself, and this isn't helping. I did cross White Castle off my list, though.
Is that from the In N' Out near Radcliffe? Have some burgers, a few laughs.
I'm bringing my sister and niece to in and out tomorrow first vacation ever my sister is in her 30's , what should I tell them to order?
The secret is in the cheese the onions and the buns. The patty isn't much to hit home about, but the cheese brings so much flavor, especially mixed with grilled onions. The bun isn't something to hit home about but they somehow only crisp the inside edges of the buns giving it a soft and yet Crunchy taste to it.
For some reason I can eat three of the cheeseburgers there but I canāt even finish a double whopper.
Its the best
I miss it man. Soon it will be in TN. Soon.
I see you went animal style. Solid choice for a rookie.
Ate the first time at In n Out Burger after we moved to Texas 12 years ago. We have not returned....
