Both suck compared to In-N-Out

I'm spoiled and live in very close proximity to a In-N-Out, Five Guys, and Habit Grill.
The former two's burgers are good in ways distinct from the other, but that's the last thing I'd order at Habit; their's are basically slightly-inferior In-N-Out burgers at Five Guys prices.
Their Golden Chicken Sandwich gives me life, though.

what kind of argument is that? I'm paying for prepared food, I shouldn't have to salt my fries.
edit: I'm not done with you yet. Salting fries after they get to your table means that the salt is not going to melt into the fry. They need to get salt straight out of the fryer. FACTS.

It kind of makes sense to be able to control some items yourself. Does this mean you do nothing to your food once received. No condiments for things like fries, no additional toppings, dips for other types of food, nothing? Just take it literally as-is?

The burger wars are very, very real.
I'm in Rapid City and we've got three Culver's.
The burgers are great, but I'm not a big fan of their fries. They somehow managed to fuck up golden crinkle fries.
Meh, as a Midwesterner, I'd take Culver's over In-N-Out any day:
I'm a huge in-n-out fan but Culver's is no joke.
Lol
The bitterness and jealousy is real
We have In-N-Out in southern Oregon. It's also in Arizona, Nevada, Texas, etc. Never even heard of Burgerville.

All the Culver's love in this thread gives me hope for humanity.

Whataburger
Shake Shack
Five Guys
I've been to two Five Guys in LA and both were awful.
In-N-Out is always consistent.

hell yes as is. The cooks add the toppings and condiments I want.
Okay, we will. But we also have Five Guys and Shake shack, so enjoy your lack of options.

That family has literally had the most misfortunate history ever man, I don't actually envy her. Hell, she's kept out of spotlight for a while since she had a couple kidnapping attempts not even a few years ago.
I really don't understand the appeal. There are 4 classes of fast food burgers that I can think of:
1. Highest quality. Seasoned, uses normal quality beef and not mechanically separated cow scraps from heart tissue etc. These places tend to cost a bit more but that's why. $5 for a ~quarter pound burger. Example: Wendy's, Red Robin.
2. Marginally better than McDonalds territory. Whataburger, Burger King (barely), P Terry's, Five Guys (good beef, but they don't know how to season it). Cheaper beef, but not horrible.
3. McDonalds. Poor seasoning, shit tier beef. This is how they can make a profit selling prepared quarter pounds of beef for a couple of bucks.
4. Stuff that often will make you sick. 711 burgers, Krystal, White Castle.
I think In N Out is clearly in the #2 area.

I don't think anybody in America has a lack of options when it comes to burgers.

He wasn't alone.
Your comment is falling on deaf ears.
Cause I ain't hearing that mess.

This seems weird. So then do you make the cooks pre-drizzle the bloomin onion sauce on your blooming onion before you'd accept it? Do you make sure your bread is pre-buttered too?
You don't know what you're talking about if you think In-N-Out is marginally better than McDonalds but worse than Wendy's in terms of beef quality and freshness.

We have a load of great Burger joints in Glasgow Scotland: Bread Meats Bread, Handmade Burger Company, Gourmet Burger and we have a Five Guys.
If In N Out aren't going to the East coast of America, I take it there's no chance of getting one here? Actually, think there might have been a pop up one in London a while back, maybe a one off?

You eat pizza with a fork is all I'm hearing.
As a East coaster, shake shack even five guys are better. But in-n-out is the best value by far.
Where are you eating that Wendy's is better than In N Out? The hell.
In N Out isn't the absolute best burger, but for the money and the quality of service it's really hard to beat. I've never once had bad service despite them usually being absolutely jammed full of customers and I've never had a burger that didn't taste fresh. I've got a Five Guys, Freddies, Culvers etc... all around me but prefer the In N Out.
burgerville is great, just a little bit expensive. i know they have one inside PDX and i used to go to the one up in OC
great burgers, great burger sauce, insane shakes
people like the walla walla onion rings
I'm probably going to upset a lot of people, but yes Wendy's double is consistently better. In N Out tastes like McDonalds with lots of sauce and cheese.
From what I remember the last time I had 5 guys is it was just a hunk of meat without a lot of seasoning and lots of soggy fries soaked with peanut oil. I wouldn't be surprised if 5 guys uses better ingredients, but they don't know how to cook.

I've only ever had terrible burgers from 5 guys. They are expensive and awful. Plus all the locations I've been to have been disgusting.
Preach. Went way more than was healthy in college, thank goodness they expanded to my home town. Nothing beats that $5 tray at that price point.
