I've tried other burgers that are much better and "fresher" than In n Out's. To me, In n Out is where you go for a greasy burger. I simply don't agree with: "The beef patty is good, the lettuce crisp, the tomato slices fresh, the grilled onions plentiful. And you can get a hamburger for under $2. The sides are also yummy. The milkshakes are thick and creamy" I've never had an In n Out that had crisp lettuce. The beef patty is ok. The tomato slices being fresh is harder to say. Grilled onions are delicious though. The milkshakes? Not that thick and creamy. I would say however, that In n Out makes a better "fastfood drive-thru chain restaurant" burger than any other fastfood drive-thru chains. I only post this here because I just got a #1 from In n Out (was hungry) and it basically made me remember why I hardly ever go to In n Out.

Islands (and Red Robin, etc) are not my types of burgers. I like my burger about 5-7 mm thick (about wafer to mcdonalds) so that the beef taste synergizes with the rest of the tastes, instead of overpowering it. Now i agree, islands and robin have really taste, themed burgers. They have stuff with like pinapples and onion rings and weird hawaian sauce, and others. Well, if you just get the "Classic Cheseburger" you will see that all you can taste is meat and cheese, and apparently thats what you like to focus on (cant blame ya). BUUUt back to the wafer thin burger - there you get a rounded experience. i honestly cant even seperate the beef from the rest of an in-n-out burger, and thats the way i like it. people have diff tastes. (oh P.S. so you must like the six dollar burger at carls, huh? i take famousstar over it any day.) well you are just a "mondo-burger" fan, in my opinion.

Its more than just the hamburger, its the clean environment, positive outgoing employees and the mouth watering flavor of the bun/burger/cheese and onions. Some how its just really good, like it doesnt taste fake like mcdonalds or burger king .Their potatoes are fresh and cut them right in front of you, I dont think they add any preservatives. I think the reason it stands out is the quality ingredients. Its kind of like mr pickles (quality wise). ill tell you why its so good.

I've been eating at IN-N-OUT since 1983 when my dad took me after he got out of class at Cerritos College. I'm in the Navy now and I let everybody I know that’s not from California about it. Let's just say there hasn't been one complaint. They love it and so do I! Thanks IN-N-OUT for being so darn DELICIOUS!!! All you need is a #1 Animal Style and a Pink Lemonade.

I could not wait to get off the plane and get an In and Out. Double Double Animal style! I don't eat fast food. Can't stand the stuff, but for some reason I have become addicted to these things. I grew up in Texas and I love me some Sonic, but all I get there are the drinks. In and Out is a different animal.

They have such a high standard for freshness that trucking thier ingredients that far would compromise this. I can honestly say I have no idea why they are so good they just are...

I am working at the second busiest In N Out Burger store in Arizona. It's a stressful job, more than our customers realize, but it is an amazing company. I can totally back up the fact that everything there is very healthy and very high quality. They are still family owned ever since they first started in 1948 and they are very serious about upholding the highest standard of customer service and quality. I have worked for them for about a year and even visited the In N Out Burger university in Baldwin Park, CA because my best friend took courses and graduated there and is in management with them. The place is beautiful, soo very clean and training is great. All in all it is what i consider a great example of how a food industry should be. :0) This is awesome reading all of this. :0) I actually work at In N Out burger in tempe, az.

The closest thing to In-N-Out on the east coast is Five Guys. They don't freeze their patties and the fries are cut and cooked on site. But the bad part is their fries suck. They give you a lot and there are peanuts to eat while you wait. Plus Five Guys also does grilled onions and any number of toppings (nothing too crazy here, but a good selection to please anyone) and they are really really inexpensive. I was reminded about them when someone mentioned frozen meat or lack thereof. G-Dangit! I really want to go to CA now just to hit up In-N-Out. Oh, and another thing.
