I much prefer the burgers at Steak & Shake (midwest US), and I prefer Wendy's to In-N-Out.
BTW, not all that excited about Five Guys, either. Smashburger and Graffiti Burger have been good IME.
Have you tried the burger Animal Style? For me, that makes all the difference. Without it, it's just a decent burger--thin, light, and fresh but lacking in big, bold flavor--that's not really worth going too far out of your way for.

Go to one of the other locations. The one in Madison Square Park is always mobbed. I've had good luck at the Brooklyn one and have never had to wait in line behind more than perhaps five people there.
