In-N-Out Hype
I'll admit, I thought the hype for In-N-Out was a bit much. But I'll give it to them, for their prices, the burger I ate was delicious. No question it is hands down better than Chadders, and was pretty tasty.
I upset my wife a bit when I brought our order back to the table and proceeded to down a 4x4. I told her if I was going to do In-N-Out, I was going to do it right. I did forget to order a shake, but my old man did and it looked pretty good. I'm sure we'll eat there again, so I'll have to give it a go. As far as true Fast Food goes, In-N-Out is head and shoulders above the McDonalds/Burger King/Carl's Jr chains, and IMO is in the same league as a Big Ben's Burger Bar. Of course, I was raised on Burger Bar, so that may be what I lean towards for a good burger. But In-N-Out didn't disappoint me either. Were they in Utah, I'd be a regular. |

A 4x4? Dang, you don't mess around.
Did you go animal style? I like the 3 x 3 animal style with fries well and a lemonade. You can also animal style the fries, but that is a bit much. IO is a nice burger, but it does suffer from so much tourist hype. Sounds like you enjoyed it for what it was....a really nice burger experience, but not the be all end all of dining. Sometimes CBers go overboard with the worship. I agree though...normal fast food places need not apply. Yuck.

Never been to In and Out, is it really that AMAZING? Surfah says so, but I think he just wants to be cool, anyone with an unbiased opinion?

Damn...I forgot--smiley faces are NOT cool. In-N-Out's a great burger, and I still can't figure out how they sell it so cheap. Outstanding service, great fresh tomatoes and lettuce, burger grilled fresh each time. I hear they pay their workers very well (managers can make six figures). |

Also, try one protein style, wrapped in lettuce. doesnt taste any better, but it is a unique experience eating a burger using lettuce as the bookends.
