I'm pretty sure that was referring to Frac Tech Services LLC, read from the 7th paragraph on. Wish it was IN-N-OUT though.

edit: I meant to quote the part where the FW economic development manager states they are looking for sites in Oklahoma and Louisiana.

I had the same confusion when this popped up on my Google alert. I was quickly reminded it's best to read the entire story and not trust the summary...

Now I am confused, the Frac part of the article is "other news" and not related to In-n-Out's distribution plans, right? From the article:

Just after opening its first In-N-Out Burger restaurant in Fort Worth, the California-based chain is seeking a tax abatement to locate its regional distribution center in the city at CentrePort Business Park near Dallas/Fort Worth Airport.

The Fort Worth City Council was briefed Tuesday on a proposed 10-year, 60 percent tax abatement for 25 acres.

Under the proposal, the city would grant a tax abatement worth $840,000 and In-N-Out would spend $21 million in capital investments.

In-N-Out would also create 100 jobs by December 2018, with half created by the end of 2013.

The regional center would include a meatpacking facility that would support expansion across Texas and possibly into neighboring states, said Jeff Russell, In-N-Out's regional real estate manager.

We need the email address for Jeff Russell, In N Out Regional Real Estate manager?

I had In-N-Out for the first time recently and it is good for fast food, but not much better than other places. Their shakes taste just like Burger Street. Their hamburger is above average for fast food, but their fries are some of the worst I've ever had at a fast food place. All in all, their immense popularity is more the result of hype, meme, and scarcity (not in many states) than anything. Still good though.

At first, I felt the same about In-n-Out but now I am a devotee, and I'm not one for fast food.

Here's what I've grown to love about it: 1) everything is super fresh and of high quality; 2) the service is fantastic; 3) it's very inexpensive; less than $5 for a burger, fries and drink; and 4) I really love the burger prepared "animal style", which means grilled in mustard with grilled onions and extra spread.

Also, while initially I did not care for the fries at all, I really like them now.


But in the end, it's still a fast food burger so no one should get their hopes up too high. And it's not worth waiting in line for 30 minutes. Out here, you typically only wait 10-15 minutes and that's well worth it.

The triumvirate of In-N-Out Burger, Dave & Busters, and Target would make NW Expressway and May the best intersection west of the mighty Mississip'.

No offense, but if you're serious, you have low standards.

I drove a beer truck in the '70s & '80s (Miller) and the same name brand hype was burning with Coors. At that time Coors was not available east of OK, and possibly not in TX either. Truckers going east through the state bought it by the 10s of cases at a time, bootlegging it for $25 a case. Its advertising, wild west mystique, and lack of availability was all that caused the demand. It damn sure wasn't the flavor!

What!!! Coors tastes miles better than that urine beer, Miller. Miller is the beer that stores put out near the door hoping that the teenage fools would steal instead of the good stuff. My family owned numerous stores so I know the truth of this.

Miller, Coors, Bud are very similar in quality. It's really just personal preference. You have to get past the national name brand beers to significantly up the quality.

You know the truth of your experience, not the truth of "it"!

Hey, I just sold the stuff, I didn't use it! All of the big 3 (Coors, Miller, Bud) are pisswater. And, if it says "Light" (or "Lite") anywhere on the label, it ain't beer! My taste runs toward ambers, e.g. Shiner Bock, Dos Equis, Negro Modelo, etc.

I agree on the Dos Equis and Modelloights Shiner Bock is cow pisswater and a tasteless/foolish comparision.

How can I take the opinion of a Ford fan seriously?:LolLolLol

I'm a Bud guy. I like some of those brews at places like McNellie's here in OKC, but I still prefer an ice cold Budweiser. At my "other" home in Plano, I enjoy Gordon Biersch Brewery, but I still come back to my Bud.

Guys, this is supposed to be about In-N-Out!

Back to subject, please.

Oh yeah. I like In-N-Out. The one that's opened not too far from me in Plano is so busy. Fighting the traffic with the newness factor is the only problem. I like the simplicity of their menu and the whole philosophy behind the company.

So anyhow, back to the rumor of the site west of MacArthur, where Charcoal Oven was....the new building sure looks like fast food to me, similar to the shape of In and Out, and there is still no sign out front

That old Charcoal Oven site was recently purchased by a small company in Tulsa.

Seriously doubt this has anything to do with In-N-Out.

If you Google "In n out Burgers Oklahoma City", a listing does appear with a phone number & address. I know it isn't an In N Out , but it is interesting that their is already a listing.

I live at 54th & Portland, will have to check that address out and see what is there. Am thinking it is either the medical office building or the bank across the street...in any case, called the number listed and it is "disconnected"

It would be too perfect to get an In-N-Out so close to me as 57th and N Portland but I'm just not that lucky.

I live in moore,and i would be more thean happy to drive to n 57th and portland for in-n-out

5700 N. Portland is an office building.

In-N-Out wouldn't have offices here anyway. They are all strictly company-owned sites.

In-N-Out be damned, I'd be one of the few loyal fans waiting for opening day if we ever were graced with a Burgerville location.

After a quick check of their website, seeing as how they are only in southwest Washington and Northwest Oregon, it doesn't look like we'll ever get one. There sure were some good looking burgers on their website though.

They are new in the DFW area - I an assure you of that. I wonder why their map or whatever you looked at doesn't show them?

Oh, wait....just read the post above yours. You were probably talking about Burgerville.

Yes, I was talking about Burgerville, sorry about not quoting the previous post.

Yeah, it was a choice burger of mine when I lived in Portland. Their special sauce is amazing. There's a giant billboard on the highway, Eastbound, in the Columbia River Gorge near The Dalles, warning you that the last Burgerville for 24,337 miles is just ahead. On the move out here, I had to pull over and get my last taste *sniffle*. I was vegetarian back then, and their veggie burgers are the shiznit.

Had lunch at the In-N-Out on Mockingbird Lane in Dallas today, not bad, but it's not a place I would drive across town to eat at.

Had lunch at the In-N-Out on Mockingbird Lane in Dallas today, not bad, but it's not a place I would drive across town to eat at. I also had lunch today at the In-N- Out on Coit and I 635. It just opened up about 3 weeks ago. The burgers are pretty darn good, however, the fries have a lot to be desired. Very bland in taste. I have to say that Mickey D's has much better fries and are the best for fast food!

No more talking about hamburger restaurants that aren't here.lol

Anyone care to discuss the actual topic? See my post #79, does anyone know what is going there or we just going to give in and put reviews from other states?

Call the City of Warr Acres tomorrow and ask them about the building permit information for that site.

Anyone know what is going into the smallish 1 story building being built in front of the Weokie building on NW Expressway at N Macarthur? I asked at weokie the last time i was there and none of the tellers knew.

Didn't realize we had such a big Wookie population in this city.

We have no Wookies, this is Oklahoma, we have Weokies.

Please see the 4 page thread about In and Out Burger coming to OKC....

This is going to be a small, retail clothing store.

Sorry, no In and Out Burger here.....

After eating at an In-N-Out burger in LA for the first time last May, I left confused as to what the hype was all about. It wasn't a bad burger. I appreciated that the toppings were fresh, that they actually toast their buns (I wish more places did that!), and that the restaurant seemed very clean and well managed, but the actual meat part of the burger was tiny and bland. I finished my food still kinda hungry and yet not really wanting to get anything more from the restaurant I was at. I probably should have ordered a double rather than a single, but having never been there before it seemed crazy to order a double cheeseburger if I wasn't starving. The experience just left me wanting. I've had better fast food burgers elsewhere.

Went to Dallas over the weekend and thought it would be fun to hit in-n-out burger. Went to the one on Central. They had a line of cars 20 deep along the service road. Hired traffic guards. Insane! Is any burger really worth that hassle? Went to Whole Foods and had a great lunch (love their pizza!). I remember when Krispy Kreme did that kind of business....

Hellz no comes to mind...Hard to wait an hour for anything that takes less than 10 minutes to devour

As I've stated before, In-N-Out is very solid, reasonable, fresh and served by people with a fantastic customer service ethic. But the hamburger itself is merely very good, not great. And for most, it's an acquired taste; I know it was for me.

The crowds will die down but even here in Cali where they are ubiquitous there is always at least a decent wait, even in off-peak times.

Almost everyone seems to be indifferent towards their food when first introduced but almost everyone comes to love it.

Pete that basically confirms what I thought about the place during visits in both San Diego and Phoenix last year. Burgers are good, but not great, but I do respect the stores general cleanliness and good customer service.

Let me just say that I've talked to a lot of my friends and family down there, many of which have tried it buying into the hype, and all said the same thing. Of course these are all people native to this part of the world. I get the feeling those lines are filled with all of the CA transplants in DFW who are looking for a "bite of home."

As far as I'm concerned, nothing beats a bacon and cheese Whataburger.

True about Krispy Kreme...had never had one before so could not relate to that type of following. Having tried them since, I admit they are some of the best donuts i have ever had (esp when they are fresh out of the fryer and the glaze "waterfall"). But to wait that long, aint going to happen. Especially in a "fast food" environment. If cars a stacked that deep, I either go inside (if not backed up as well) or hit it at another time.

Agreed...I do think their fries are pretty stellar though (being fresh cut and all).....At least the most tasty of any fast food chain I've been to.

I was in Ft. Worth about 3 weeks ago and they had just opened their In-n-Out on 7th Street west of DT. I thought it was crazy going on the first Saturday after it opened and it was a mess, we parked 2 blocks away. The inside was packed with a line going outside 4 wide, the drive thru was lined up 3 blocks down the road. However the line went fast and the wait for our food was quick. Before we got done with our food they had already went through the order numbers (1-100) again. My first time to have it and loved the burger animal style. The fries were so-so, could have been better with cheese. I'd love to see one put in... hopefully convenient to me also!

(You can order your fries Animal Style, too. It's a secret to everybody.)

Saw another fast food restaurant going up at I-40 and MacArthur. Any chance that is our mystery In-n-Out Burger?

You know, I still haven't figured out what it is yet. I doubt it is an In-n-Out Burger joint, but I can't say that for sure, so we'll see.

They have a "secret menu." I miss In-n-Out so bad.

If you are talking about just north of Circle K on the NE corner, that's a Jack in the Box.

If you are talking about just west of Applebee's on the NW corner, that's a Steak & Shake.

No, they're currently building a new building directly East of the Lin's Buffet.

Panera Bread.

I don't think he meant those as those have been open. I think he is referring to something under construction.

There is a fast food restaurant under construction to the west of the Steak and Shake location, just to the south of Home Depot.

Pete, is the building that is already up the Panera Bread or what cause metro and Soonerinfiniti confused me. And we're talking about SW 3rd incase no one stated that.

Sorry, I screwed up. I said directly East of Lin's Buffet, but it's actually directly West of Lin's buffet and directly East of Ryan's.
