    Yea it's decent, but what really takes the cake is that it's far better than what you can get at McDonald's and (at least in my area) it's cheaper than McDs

    Their double double combo is like 10$ compared to McDs pitiful BigMac combo at like 13

    It's not worth flying across the country for like some do, but if I have a choice between McDs or In-N-Out....

  • I remember when In-n-Out first came to Texas, and the line to try it had the entire highway backed up for miles; People couldn’t even fit in the parking lot, and the line had literally backed up all the way up the highway exit and onto the highway.

    Tried it like a month later, and wasn’t impressed; If I just want a fast food burger, Whataburger is better.

    It's worse than ok. I'd rather have any other common fast food. Fries are stale, shake melted, burger bad. The burger was the best part, but god damn it was a terrible meal. Not worth the meal. I would have rather eaten saltine crackers and peanut butter. We ended up throwing most of it out and going somewhere else.

    Contrary to the negativity, while McDonald's for me is generally considered the bell-curve available absolute 5/10, their food engineering is incredible and worth admiring. They're the one chain that I confidently am in awe of from a scientific perspective, AND, still hold the crown for best Coke.

  • It's a lot better than other fast food burgers. But it's a pretty basic, straight forward burger. It's fresh ingredients, done simply. And it's why everyone loves it.

    I know of a few places near me where they serve nearly identical burgers, and I love those too.

    Then you go to the east coast and they claim Five Guys is the better In-n-out and holy shit it is definitely not. Even more overpriced and not even as good as a burger king. Sheesh.

    Having eaten all 3, Five Guys is the best. But hey, that's why everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Yours just happens to be wrong. 🙂

    Burger King is the best when done properly. I've had godawful burger King and it's by far the closest to innout. Five guys is good tasting, but always melts into a horrible mess, which is basically an automatic fail. If they could solve that (maybe I'll try extra toasted bun next time), I would consider them to be higher ranked.
