Five Guys is straight shit but as mentioned a few times, I don't even consider them and Shake Shack competition in this category. The price and quality of In-N-Out are the major appeal. I'd sooner make my own damn burger than pay Five Guys/Shake Shack prices.

 

[Volimar]

Someone mail me some In n Out. I'll decide for everyone. Plain cheeseburger, large fries, chocolate shake.



Damn, I would murder a chocolate shake right now. Been ages since I've had one.

the more west you go, the more likely you are to get dysentery

that's just a fact

 

[perfectchaos007]

5 Guys and In-N-Out aren't really direct competitors given the difference in price. In-N-Out competes against the low bar $5-$8 avg meal QSR's like McDonalds, BK, Wendys etc. while Five Guys competes against the higher priced $9-$12 avg meal QSR's like Smash Burger, Shake Shack, and Habit

 

[Reptars Revenge]

Lol I love how people can claim some places are complete shit only fit for dogs then hail a place serving very comparable food as the next coming of jesus

And Whataburger is a perfect medium, slightly higher price, slightly longer wait, but it's worth it.

Seems like the west coast is afraid of Beast Coast

how sad

You just took our coast and added an A

That's not how this works

 

[Fat4all]

you comparing yourself to yourself?

typical west coast conceits, can't compete with the east coast

 

[Poppy]

isnt going through multiple thread title attempts a little desperate looking, hmm?

 

[SmackCrackleNPop]

We have Five Guys in soCal too. Fries are good..Burgers are pricey

 

[BennyBlanco]

Can we at least get fatburger on the least coast at some point?

ive been to a fatburger in NJ

 

[kingsamj]

The thread re-name would be better if we didn't already have Five Guys throughout In-N-Out's existing markets. We have Shake Shack in SoCal too...

Yeah.. In Westwood by UCLA there used to be an In-N-Out and a Five Guys just a few blocks from each other. Guess which one is still open? (Hint: it's In-N-Out).

Whataburger is getting closer to the pricey tier. My local Whataburger just went up about 50cents on every combo on the menu last week.

Worst Coast sounds like struggle nation with all these people whining about cost.

they spendin too much on avocado toast i guess

 

[Dr. Black Jack]

lol @ people saying 5 Guys is "expensive"

 

[sir_kevith]

5 guys sucks ass. I'd rather go to a Red Robin and I'd still save money.

 

[Angry Grimace]

Five Guys sucks bad. They are most definitely not afraid of entering their turf. In N' Out doesn't even think about Five Guys.

I like both of them but in fairness I like almost all food in general.

I don't know what the term for that is but I can guarantee you I would like a burger from pretty much anywhere so long as it wasn't cooked wrong.

I have never actually been to shake shack but I would be highly surprised if I didn't like it. I like Five Guys a lot, but they aren't the same thing or even going for the same market.

 

[perfectchaos007]

lol @ people saying 5 Guys is "expensive"

wow check your privilege sir

5 guys sucks ass. I'd rather go to a Red Robin and I'd still save money.

when you factor in tip, not really. You tip at RR, no tip at FG

 

[TheGreyHulk]

In n out is the shit. Simple tasty burger made with fresh ingredients and it's priced decently.

It's not the best burger ever, but it's pretty damn good.

Five guys is ok but way over priced and i swear to God, ive never had a five guys burger where the damn buns stays in tact. It's always saugy and falling apart. Wtf.

 

[Chamber]

lol @ people saying 5 Guys is "expensive"

$15 for a burger and fries (not even counting the drink) at a fast food joint is expensive, fuck that noise.

 

[Angry Grimace]

$15 for a burger and fries (not even counting the drink) at a fast food joint is expensive, fuck that noise.

10 dollars for a burger is excessive. Five Guys is good but I do not consider it even sort of reasonably priced.

 

[Dr. Black Jack]

$15 for a burger and fries (not even counting the drink) at a fast food joint is expensive, fuck that noise.

if you order the biggest burger and large/family fries it's $15, sure

also fast casual != fast food

Ordering Five Guys here costs double that at least. lol

True. I went to a Byron burger in the UK and it was probably close to $30 bucks to eat there.

Wait, food costs money? Lol, so that's where that little decimal point is going all the time! Guess I don't have to fire my second personal accountant.

No matter what you order at Five Guys, you're paying at least double the price for the corresponding item on In-N-Out's menu.

 

[MidnightCowboy]

God bless anyone who thinks Steak N Shake is better than In-N-Out

They need it

 

[Not]

Jesus, these must be peak Mod hours

They're having a thread title change war.

They're avin a giggle m8

 

[Pankratous]

This thread has made me want a Five Guys badly.

We don't have In-N-Out in the UK, but FG is incredible.

 

[theWB27]

That steak and shake shout out is top notch. That 4 dollar menu is heaven. With a shake too...yummmsies

 

[Dr. Black Jack]

and yet FG is everywhere but InO is still west coast struggle food

 

[perfectchaos007]

Lets have a real conversation here. When it comes to burger chains that have all of their franchises on ONE side of the Mississippi river, which one is the best? In-N-Out is probably hands down the west coast representative since Whataburger is on both sides of the Mississippi. Which chain would rep the East though? Cookout?

 

[MidnightCowboy]

Gordon Ramsay loves In-N-Out and you should too

 

[Sou Da]

Agreed.

Japan has no FG but has like 3 Shake Shack locations now.

Don't care about brands but it's harder than not to find "smashed" style burgers here, especially for cheap(ish).

 

[katsubento]

Lol at the title changes tonight.

 

[Angry Grimace]

it doesn't include the fries.

 

[Fat4all]

steak n shake gave me food poisoning










and double herpies

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

Damn, I would murder a chocolate shake right now. Been ages since I've had one.

Getting a plain cheeseburger at In N Out is literally doing it wrong. Double Double Animal Style is the correct choice.

 

[LaNaranja]

It is ok to believe that In-N-Out is not the best burger of all time. But to claim it is terrible and "I didn't want it anyway"?

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

Wow what a deal

 

[Stumpokapow]

They're having a thread title change war.

it's actually just one desperate east coast mod arguing with himself because he can't get in n out and he's sad

But Gordon Shamsay is wrong about pineapple pizza, soooo...

Ah. I've never watched a mod go through the 5 stages of grief via thread title changes. Current title is the denial stage? There's a first for everything I guess

 

[theWB27]

Has in and out corporate ever been asked why you have to eat their fries directly from the grease if you want them not cold?

 

[Intheflorsh]

Steak N Shake makes a good milkshake, but those hamburgers? Eh.

In-N-Out is a mediocre chain celebrated by mediocre people.
