It vastly varies per burger joint. The in-n-out nearby my house is fucking amazing -- the food isn't special, but it's the highest quality cheap "fast food" burger you can get -- while the one by the freeway entry ramp in my town tastes terrible. I imagine it has to do with the amount of seasoning they use, but either way it's a good place overall.

My friend's also talked about in-n-out in the same manner you described and it was a let down when we rolled through cali. It was a great time over all roadtrippin' with friends but the food itself was not horrible, just so mediocre. We hit it up on another instance and the same.

When they asked, I just told them it was nothing special (we ordered the same, double double, well done fries which were basically regular fries anywhere else) and they just looked at me, I said "you asked my opinion" and we agreed to disagree. I wasn't going to be a complete killjoy. They were heavy smokers, of all sorts (I only did bud on occasion), and their taste buds were probably nuked.

Heh, those guys I mentioned were huge cup noodle fiends and every food they ate not processed had to have an ass ton of seasoning.
One of them put Tabasco on a fucking apple, one of the few instances of him eating something unprocessed.

Now I like me some hot sauce and they introduced me to Tapatio on popcorn which I have on occasion to this day but anyways I don't hate in-n-out, save for the long lines. It's just the burger version of taco bell with a 'secret menu' and fewer locations.

Its only overrated in the midwest and west coast where they are playing fast and loose with the pricing. They're charging nearly 10 bucks for the double patty burger in Chicago.

Then when you get the cup, instead of filling it in the usual manner, look for a tiny lever UNDERNEATH the soda labels. You'll know you've found it because it says "WATER" on it.

I've eaten at Five Guys about six times since 2006. I eat there, forget that it was just okay and overpriced for what they offer. Then go back and have the same disappointing experience. I'll usually run into one of these threads and try to remember the specifics of the last time but cannot - only that it wasn't good. But I can't recall exactly why. So, I'd end up going back and going, "Oh, yea. That's right."

Of course now, after six trips in over a decade, I know to never spend money at a Five Guys.

I went once and bought a double bacon burger and a cajun fry. It was over $15. I washed the fry cup out with water from fountain then filled with dr pepper twice and filled with peanuts on the way out. Still not worth $15. Could have gotten bbq bacon burger and smash fries and a double double and well done fries for the same price.

I regret falling for the meme. the only reason I tried it was from reading a bunch of hype about it. It really is the most overhyped shit. in n out is better and cheaper, Id say its almost par with in n out, but still way more expensive.

Sodium and grease are linked to hypertension and arterial buildup, anon. Not that it matters as long as people don't eat enough of them to become fat fucks in the first place, just clarifying.

This.
In N Out is surpassed by any other non-chain burger restaurant, but those places always charge upwards of $13 for a burger, and that's just for the burger. If you want fries and a drink, then you're talking close to $20.

In N Out is great for the price.
