What the previous poster said! ^ ^

Sorry O2K, In and Out, hands down. They have fresh lemonade also.

Personally don't like Fatburger fries, and In and Out has WONDERFUL fries. Reading above that you can have the burger grilled may improve it.

We have a Fatburger 1 block from the office and our every-single-day take-out lunch group has only gotten food from there once. No requests for a repeat. It's not even on the long version of our rotation list (And KFC is, if that gives you a clue!) Advantage of Fatburger is no line ^ . (Also no drive-through , at least at our local one.)

But I must admit we have George Burger a local 2-store place that is almost as good as In and Out, so we choose that over Fatburger.

Unfortunately, the city turned down an In and Out location years ago because In and Out wanted a sign visible from the freeway. Duh. (Apparently only auto dealers are allowed to do that )

So OP, skip the midnight buffet and head for In and Out. Then Fatburger. Then In and Out. It may be the best food in Vegas. Think of the money you'll save for gambling or buying your wife tokens of appreciation.

Fatburger was where I went when I was in college. Now that I'm an adult, it's In-and-Out all the way. The best wedding reception I ever went to was a rather formal one for 100+ people and it was actually catered by In-and-Out.

In 'n' Out.
Even the Dude would abide.

Ever hear the slogan "Fatburger, fatburger, that what a hamburger's all about?" didn't think so.
In-n-out all the way

Double Double Animal Style

It's midnight here and nearest In and Out is about 45 minutes away......
ah, could be three time zones away, I guess.

Gives new meaning to the phrase going to bed hungry.

I have to admit that I've never eaten at fatburger, but let me tell you just one thing:


(sneak away from wife if needed)

Seriously, take your wife along on the first day of your trip. If she's never tasted In-N-Out before, she might want to eat there again!

That's the ticket. Blows F-burger away. Though I can't stand In n Out fries.

Actually I love BOTH!

In & Out has great double double animal style or Fatburger King size with eggs and cheese!!! But I have to vote for Fat fries. Even though In & Out fries were made of fresh potato, but yuck! (the burger is good though )

Go whole hog and get:

3x3 Animal Style

Crispy Fries animal style

A must.

This is always the sequence of my trips to the west coast.

1. Arrive at airport
2. get rental car (and ask where the nearest location is)
3. proceed to the nearest in-and-out

My only advice is to get a double-double even if you think that you only want a single burger. It is my opinion that the balance of the ingredients is much better than a regular cheese burger and will give you the full In and Out experience. I would also say that your first experience should be the regular Double-Double. When you sneak away from your wife later in the trip to go back you can get Animal style or another variation.

I was disappointed that I was staying at the SF Sheraton Fishermans' Wharf last week, until I found that there was an In-N-Out about three blocks away on foot (over by where the F muni ends). I must admit that I don't like Animal style, but my regular 3x3 was really what I needed after a stressful day.

ButIsItArt's 9 steps for a happy Westbound transcon

1. Three glasses of wine in flight.
2. Nice chat with purser
3. Arrive at SFO
4. Take AirTrain to rental car counter, and check out all the *A 744's at G-gates along the way. Look out especially for N196UA
5. Get rental car
6. Proceed to In-N-Out
7. Order favorite meal option, and a chocolate shake
8. Eat fries in car while driving to destination (Fries need to be eaten immediately, otherwise they become quite unsavory)
9.
