In-N-Out Burgers not coming east. Steak N Shake still secretly the best.

Bingo. I like Five Guys and I like In-N-Out, but In-N-Out blows them away for value.
No shit? Do they check to make sure you're Christian or something?
No. It's unique in structure in that they still have a lot of control over the operation. And no one is allowed to own more than a single restaurant. They want their owners IN the building in those early years working in the trenches. So every Chick Fil A is someone's life's work essentially. It's a personal and emotional investment, in addition to financial.

At least you can get one. Thanks to this fucking thread that keeps being bumped I've gone to a Carl's Jr. three times in two weeks (before this I hadn't gone to one in a year) since I cant get a In N Out and all I can do is imagine I'm going to one by choosing the closest thing I have.

Agreed. They're pricey but I love Fuddrockers!
Because of the dumb Imperial system I ordered by mistake the biggest fucking burger I've ever been served in my life. All I saw were these weird fractions and the word "lb." besodes the size of the burger. I figured it was easier to say "1 pound" since 1/3 of whatever a pound was sounded like something so tiny.
Lo and behold I was served a burger in a 1 pound patty and holy shit at the size of that motherfucking thing. Had I known it was essentially a 500 gram patty I would'nt have paid for that. Of course I didnt finish half of it.
Still love Fuddrockers. The 1 pound thing I blame more on the American government
same exact experience during E3. Came away far from impressed.

On a couple of different occasions I took some In N Out virgins to In N Out and they left unimpressed. I felt like I somehow let them down, and they had me questioning my own love for In N Out.
No....no its THEM who are wrong. In N Out is amazing.
Your friend's mind must be made of dandelion fluff.
I tried Shake Shack for the first time this past weekend and OH MY GOD it's so good. Culver's is still the best option in the midwest, but I am a Shake Shack believer.

In N Out is a slow burn....I was unimpressed the first time as well. It wasn't until like my 3rd or 4th time there did I really enjoy it.

Good, we don't want it. I wouldn't go to an In N Out if a Five Guys is remotely close.
Same and from Chicago. Shit is delicious!
The actual one in Japan is better.

I've had Five Guys a few times (there's one near me) and it's unfortunately really inconsistent. The fries are always good (even if they're like 2000 calories alone) but the burgers are often overly greasy, soggy, and low on flavor.
One of my favorite things about In n Out is how amazingly consistent and fresh it is.
They have one in SoCal. Been there a few times. I definitely don't go for the burgers though, I go for all the other stuff.

This cult Midwest chain is better than In-N-Out and Shake Shack here's what it's like to eat there
The Culver's meme is picking up steam.

There are a couple of Culver's in Austin, TX but they get overshadowed by all the other burger options available. I lived in Austin for 4 years and never tried Culvers. I did think about trying them on multiple occasions but never got myself to

The west has Five Guys too ya know...
I like them both. In-N-Out is great if I'm looking for a cheap meal that doesn't taste like sugar bread and oatmeal burger (McDonals).
I go to Five Guys when I want a bigger meal with more options. The Cajun fries are great too.

I'm a big fan of the burgers and the concrete but those fries are a damn shame.
Looks like paid for propaganda.
Lots of young bucks attack the king for attention only to be brought down. This "article" is low.
Culver's has the best ice cream out of all the chains mentioned, but the fries are basically cafeteria level. Good thing they've got the cheese curds to make up for it. Their burgers are in the same tier as the other 'good' chains, nothing super special.

I thought they had Custard, not ice cream
If the fries are fresh they are good and my local Culver's makes them per order so it's rarely a bad experience. Crispy on the outside, like they should be.
I did go to a different location when I was on a business trip. At that Culver's the fries were not fresh and were terrible.All soggy and soft. I'm talking Wendy's fries level of bad.
But yeah, burger + cheese curds + custard is the way to go at Culver's.
