I don't think Shake Shack vs In N Out is a fair comparison. Five Guys is a much better one on one comparison. McDs is more in its lane than Shake Shack - Just my opinion.
I am not doing a comparison with other burger places. I am saying that the fries suck. The best fries are cooked twice so even most frozen fries are going to be better (frozen fries are cooked once before freezing) than INO which are made from fresh potatoes and only fried once. They are flabby, not at all crispy.
