Over rated ! Seriously, I am baffled about the in n out hype. Its a fast food burger. Nothing special.

Yep. I can safely say SmashBurger or 5 Guys is better. Everyone says In N Out is the best part about CA, wrong... seeing it in your rearview mirror is the best part about CA.

You're in The Springs - tried Drifters? https://www.google.com/search?site=&source=hp&ei=JJN3U_f7L5SdqAbQ3ICQCQ&q=drifters+colorado+springs&oq=drifters&gs_l=mobile-gws-hp.1.1.0l5.2918.5557.0.10146.10.6.1.0.0.0.1033.356 6.4-2j1j1j1.5.0....0...1c.1.43.mobile-gws-hp..6.4.1704.3._bsgUqa4hes

Same thoughts. Finally tried one in Tucson a couple months ago and couldn't figure out what is so special. They're good, but the way some people talk about them you would think they had some magical properties or were made of pure mana from heaven.

Smashburger and 5 Guys are twice the price if not more. Good burgers but I'd rather have In-N-Out.

My uncle manages a store. They will likely come here but not for a while still.

I did try in n out when I lived in CA: not that good and definitively a "California hyped" product.... 5 guys is far better.

Burgers are totally subjective to the tastes of the individuals. Kinda like chili. My all-time slap-yo-grandma favorite burgers come from dive bars and local burger joints in my hometown area in OK. Can't get those here though, so I tend to stick with Sonic and Wendy's. Ain't gourmet but it'll make a turd.

Madeinhb
05-17-2014, 13:42
Are they the best burger no. Are the the best in the 3-4 dollar range - yes. If take an In N out over mcdonalds, Burger King, etc any day. I don't like 5 guys. Too greasy. And like rondog said - all subjective.

kidicarus13
05-17-2014, 13:55
I had them once 5 years ago in California... ehhh. Over-hyped like Wataburger is in Texas and White Castle is in the Northeast. Not a bad burger just not a standout IMHO.

I agree with all of you that think in n out is overrated!!!!!! That place is for the Scientology type of people... They can't even make fries right.

When I ever have to go to CA I will always go to In & Out for a Double Double and fries. I have not found a burger in CO that is as good but then again, I don't really go out for burgers much anymore anyway. And I ain't gonna spend $10+ on a burger to find one as good as In & Out.

If I am out in the valley north of LA I will visit Tommy Burger for their Chili Cheese burger. Only the one near the Budweiser Brewery makes them right, the spin-offs just don't get it right for some reason.

Fat Burger over In N Out anyday


Tho I think there is one in the denver metro now .. I never make it there. Fat burger is my California treat.

spqrzilla
05-17-2014, 17:40
There is a Fatburger in Aurora NE of I225 / Alameda.

I like Fatburger better than In'n'Out as well. And Five Guys is a different style but still better than In'n'Out.

I used to like Johnny Rockets better too (went to one in Van Nuys for many years) but they have gone downhill IMO.

My wife raves about Tommy's, I've never had it, but we are road tripping to California in July, and she's put it on the list of things to try.

As far as In n out, VERY tasty, but completely over hyped. If folks would call it as it really is, there wouldn't be as much "hatin"

It's all fast food and In & Out is a step above is all I'm sayin'. Don't let that Tommy's chili get on your cloths, the stain is hard to get out. And, when you go to Tommy's, don't stand there asking a bunch of questions, just order a cheeseburger with or without onions, don't make them ask you. Step up and order and move on. It ain't no have it your way kind of place. I have seen the guys behind the counter just ignore someone that is ordering like in a restaurant or asking too many questions and take the order of the person next in line. Funny as heck to watch when it happens.

Stopped in at an I&O my last trip through LA. Meh. Wouldn't bother going again.

There are far better (non fast food) options out there.

Guess I'm a sucker for it. Ate there 3 times last visit to CA, and I was I only there less than 2 days.

I don't view as as the same as smash or 5 guys but rather a McD or Wendy alternative. If I need fast burger to go I'd take In and Out any day.

+1 for Drifters. Love that place. Better than In-n-Out.

05-17-2014, 20:50
Another place that I miss is Tommy's Burgers. I love that chili on a burger covered in cheese.

HoneyBadger
05-17-2014, 21:29
Of course in n out is "sub-par" when compared to a $10-14 burger from a sit down restaurant.. It's fast food and all of there stuff is fresh. McD's Wendy's etc don't hold a candle to In n Out. I lived in Cali for a year and sometimes I wouldn't mind getting 2 double doubles with fries if I'm in a hurry and want someone fresh and delicious.

Sucks that Red Top closed all of its locations down in the Springs. I loved that place. Drifters is also a frequent choice for me...for those that don't know Drifters was formally called Classics down on Flintridge and Academy. One day all of his employees looted his store and left him hanging. He had to close down and after a few years he was able to regroup and open Drifters. Great burgers!

That being said, In-N-Out is in a league of its own compared to fast food burgers for my family. You can taste the freshness in the fries and the burgers compared to any other chain around. My parents live in Dallas and whenever we visit we hit the In-N-Out pretty hard!

Dave
05-18-2014, 11:04
Yeah, I&O is better than Rotten Ronnie's burgers, but I just don't even place it any better than Culver's or Steak and Shake or Freddy's. I did stop at S&S for a triple steak burger and cheese fries yesterday on my way home from work. [Lick]

I don't ever find myself wanting a In-n-Out burger, but I sure would love to have a Whataburger.

I was waiting for that to pop up. Wife is from Texas and even though she has lived here 16 years I hear about it. [handbags] I do not see the big attraction of both and I have had them.

Back in the day, when MMMMel Tillis was the front man, it was good. Not so much now.

I grew up on Dairy Queen. Couldn't drag me into that place now.

I had Whattaburgers in Texas a few times, wasn't impressed. Too dry and basic to me, just a big flat cheeseburger with no taste.

Seems that people from Oklahoma have more experiences with burgers having grilled onions on them, which I absolutely love! I grew up eating cheeseburgers with grilled onions and will always order that if available. Even better is if the onions are sliced thin and mixed in the meat. Oh damnnnn.....

Could not disagree more I go to in n out about twice for every day I'm in california. I like smashburger and 5 guys a ton though. there is just something about in n out that wins out for me. But seeing Cali in your rearview is pretty satisfying though.

I've eaten at the Drifter's on Austin Bluffs just south of I25 - very "meh" In n Out is much better than Drifters, but I don't swoon over In n Out, either.

Aloha_Shooter
05-19-2014, 10:48
Hmmm ... I haven't been impressed by In n Out, 5 Guys, or Drifters. I'd rather get a burger at Jack-in-the-Box than either of those chains if I'm going to do cheap-and-tasty. Smashburger, Fatburger, and Crave are great but my over-40 waistline can't afford the calories they pack into their creations. All-in-all, I'd just rather get some top-grade beef and grill it myself.

I will be honest with you. I was really tired of eating In-and-Out. After not eating any in-and-out for over 8years, I wouldn't mind.

Speaking of burgers - anybody like Freddie's Steakburgers? I think they're pretty tasty too.

And Five Guys - I don't even remember their burger, I was too busy being aghast at the stupid amount of french fries they heaped on me.

Tried drifters on GoG today. Daughter and I thought food was good but to greasy and juice running out of burgers. Voted to not go back. Her fiance loves big burgers so she may take him for the big island, 4 patties and 4 slices of cheese.
Liked the atmosphere but will pass on the food.

I don't know if it's been mentioned but I tried a Lark Burger today and I've gotta say that's a tasty burger, but good lord are they proud of their food. 12 bucks for burger, fries and drink.

That will be a once in a while kinda place.

Went to Lark once, was pretty tasty, but definitely overpriced in my opinion.
