In-n-Out Burger

[Uncle Ted]

I expect In-n-Out will be pulling out of Dallas in a year...

In a matter of months, the SoCal burger chain built more than a dozen locations in Dallas-Fort Worth. We compared other burgers to In-N-Out's – even Whataburger. But slowly, like a friend who runs out of new jokes, we didn't find ourselves calling on In-N-Out Burger all that much. It became a novelty, not a standby.

“If there were two fast food joints next door to each other, and one of them was In-N-Out and the other sold tacos, I would go for the tacos even if I was craving a burger,” said Dallas resident Quentin Ford said. “Their burgers wallow in mediocrity, and a fast food junkie like me won't tolerate it.”

[...]

The fries at each location of In-N-Out seem to differ depending on the day – some are crunchy, some not cooked enough, some teeny, some not. While it seems In-N-Out has fine-tuned their fry-making process (and also allows other options on their secret menu), their fries still don't cut it.

[...]

In-N-Out isn't known for its options. Their menu is limited to burgers, fries, shakes, and other drinks, unless you order from the not-so-secret secret menu. Even then, there's not an option for chicken eaters; no onion rings here. That means In-N-Out needs to do the few things they do exceptionally well. Is it good enough to keep coming back for the exact same burger?

I ate here last time I was in Utah. This was the first time I've been in probably close to ten years and it sure wasn't as good as I remembered.

I can't think of a single example of a local vision that has gone national and maintained its quality. In-n-Out is no exception.

In-N-Out Burger reveals plan for Idaho.

I think In-N-Out is okay, but my wife is a bigger fan. We almost always stop at the one in Centerville when we're driving through.

You have to have an Idaho Statesman account to read whatever is at your link. So where are they going to be putting In-N-Out?

They put one in about 10 miles from my house. I went one day for lunch and was glad I got there early since the drive three line already too 20 minutes. I guess it’s a novelty in Houston right now.

I do like in n out. Pretty average burger but they are cheap. Gross fries though, even if you get them well done.

Do they seem underdone to you? I do agree, though, the fries are not great. And the burger is pretty average, but cheap. We rarely go there.

Huh, I was able to read it and I'm not a subscriber. But to your question, the plan is to have a Boise location within five years, so not close enough to know an exact location.

Oregon has three. Medford - Grants Pass - Salem/Keizer. They just announced a Portland location in Beaverton. Four of us can eat there for $25 - and our DS daughter thinks it's a big deal. She loves going there.

My kids love it too. My wife hates it. So when it is just me and the kids sometimes we get it. I agree that the fries aren't great. I know no fries are good cold, but INO fries lose their value quicker than others as they cool down.

That's true. I usually eat the fries first for that reason.

Nobody likes to talk about it, but the American cheese on the INO burger is not ideal. Would definitely be better with real cheese. #sjbh

The interesting thing is how many people are almost religious about InO fries. “But they’re all natural! Just cut potatoes!” Ok, fine. But they’re still just okay. It’s not why I go there.
