In-N-Out is that good?

Portions of the post that previously appeared in this space has been deleted. I would provide you with a reason why, but doing so would likely be against the TOS.

No. YMMV.

I'd consider them one of the best fast food burgers I've tried. They have a nice freshness quality to them.
Would I walk across a highway overpass if I had a craving for one. Yup. But would I be really disappointed if I didn't get change to eat one while in the vicinity of one? Nope. You can make a burger of similar quality on your home grill.

If God made hamburgers, they would taste just like In-N-Out's.

Personally, I have a preference for Fatburger, but In-N-Out is definitely above average. The fries are excellent, and you will never get such great service in any other fast food joint.

If you are hoofing it across I-15, please, please, please be careful.

Personally I think their burgers are "OK" and the fries awful.

There is one less than a mile from my home, and it is very low on my list of fast food places to go to. I surely would not pay a taxi to take me to one

Just need to know what to order. Get the fries extra crispy, or say "well done" and order a "four-by-four" for your burger. Four patties, four slices of cheese and the works. Make sure you have lots of fish oil handy

It's good by fast-food standards, but I'm not sure how much effort is it worth to get a $1.35 burger, when you are surrounded by world-class cuisine.

no... I don't even consider it special

yeah, we always stop off when we have a limo for the night (heck, why NOT

)

but, there are many a burger joint in NYC (and of course, in Vegas hotels.. even at the coffee shops) that blow away in-n-out w/ respect to overall food quality.

Personally, a hugh trek to in-n-out is a waste of time, of course, YMMV.

I grew up in California so a trip to one is a flashback to my adolescence.

A California burrito is a flashback to my drunken nights in Pacific Beach but that's a thread for another forum

It WILL be a stop during my trip to vegas... mmmmmm double-doubles..

Each to their own, but I love In 'n Out. And although I hate french fries, the only place I will eat them is at In 'n Out - made from scratch, fresh, right before your eyes. Doesn't get any better than that.

Note: the above posts were split off from a thread in the Las Vegas forum about how to get to the nearest In-N-Out from the Strip by walking.

In-N-Out Without a Personal Car? Which one is closest to The Strip? How to get to?

Even living in southern California, I've never understood the praise heaped upon In-n-Out here--it's like some secret cult.

I mean, for a fast-food burger, they're pretty good...but it's still just a pretty good fast-food burger. Lots of better things than that.

And the fries are horrible, no matter what secret way you order them.
