In-n-Out Burger

[Hollywood]

To each their own, but I flipping love In-n-Out.

The only correct answer.

I literally live next to an In-N-Out here in Hollywood. It is a great place and you can’t beat the prices. It is coming to OKC. It’s a matter of time.

One would KILL IT at Covell/35.

I haven't verified at the local restaurants, but the WB website lists the Monterey Melt as being back, for a limited time.

!!!! Definitely going looking for a Monterey Melt this week. Thanks for the heads up. IMHO the Monterey Melt is the best true fast food burger there is.....I may have already said that on there somewhere come to think of it. Lol.

[CaptDave]

The only correct answer.

Agreed - I always go at least once when in CA and often when in the DFW area.

Even if I didn't like it personally seeing how busy it was in Rockwall Texas, it is clear it would be a major Success in OKC.

Yes it would be. If Jack in the Box has a line each day I can't imagine InNOut wouldn't

I was in Texas for the weekend and finally tried In-n-Out. I think I might be spoiled by growing up with a Braum's. The burger was okay and the tomato was bigger than the meat patty. The fries had no taste at all unless you smothered them in the sauce and cheese. The chocolate shake didn't even taste like chocolate. I really do not understand the appeal of this place. The only things I liked was the service, price, and the nostalgia of an old school looking burger joint. It was a well oiled machine and the staff was working well together. It reminded me of Chick-fil-a.

Braums?? Someone at work told me that Braums burgers were good and at a good price. I tried it but way too salty for me. Even at a cheap price, which I love, it's not something for me to return to get. I am not from here (OKC) and have lived a lot of places in the US including California and every local has their own palette and based on some of the most popular places I've been in OKC I feel ppl here like it heavy on the salt. Having said that I really do like Raising Cane's every once in a while.

Yep, me too. When I lived in California I really loved Del Taco as well but that was I different time/era. Sill good but a little different, not quite the same. Fat Burger in California was good as well as Rubio's, Wahoo's, and La Salsa Fish Tacos.

There is also Sharky's which is similar to La Salsa and the others, and I thought it was the best of the bunch.

El Pollo Loco is the California chain I'd most like to see here. It's all very fresh, not fried, and some tasty and healthy menu options. I love the combo of grilled chicken and the big salsa bar.

A couple of years ago EPL announced they were looking at OKC, but crickets ever since.

To each their own, but I flipping love In-n-Out.

Me too. I don't understand the strong negatives some people have with it. Good concept. Good execution. Simple menu. Fresh and good ingredients. I spent many years frequently in SoCal and it was a regular for me.

[FighttheGoodFight]

I do find it strange we don't have a Shake Shack here as well. Those do pretty well in Dallas.

I really do believe it is all about where you are raised and the burger joint you grew up going to. If I grew up with an In-n-Out I would probably love it.

I also grew up going to Big Ed's and went back a few years ago and loved the burger there.

Yes, there is always loyalty and nostalgia to factor in.

I never thought much of Whataburger and when I moved back I tried it again since there is such an avid following. I much prefer In-n-Out and I suspect it's due to the many positive associations I had with it over 25 years. Many road trips up and down the West Coast, storming in there with friends after a late night out, etc.

Whataburger was fantastic when I was a kid/teenager, but they have kinda devolved to average for me. Don't go there very often TBH so maybe that's not a fair assessment. I have only been to the In and Out in Ontario CA and it was very good

For me Garage makes a darned good burger but their fries stink. Braum's is decent too.

[Urbanized]

I don’t hate the fries at Garage, but lately I’ve switched to onion rings and I’m feeling pretty good about the change

[OkieinGeorgia]

In-N-Out is just a ridiculously consistent, fresh, cheap experience. It's hard to beat an Animal Style Double Double and their fries are always fresh and good. I have learned that the fries really need to be eaten fresh. You put any time on them and they aren't great. I think it's because they are actually so fresh and don't have any processing on them so that's why they don't hold up to time.

I love Braum's but it can be hit or miss with locations. Living in Florida now I can tell you I sure do miss Braum's.

Whataburger is consistently one of my favorites but with a caveat. I've found that I enjoy it MUCH MORE when I order a double meat JUNIOR burger instead of one of their normal sized burgers. The ratios on meat/toppings/buns comes out so much better and makes it a far better burger to me. Just my opinion. Oh, and I have found the same with Braum's as I order the 1/6th pound burger instead and sometimes double it up rather than getting the full sized burgers.

Here in Central Florida we don't have ANY of these mentioned and I miss them. We DO have a brand new Culver's next to the new house and they are very good so far, service and food. We also have a Sonic very close and so far the food from there has been VERY good, which warms my Okie heart, for sure. Their new Smasher burgers are pretty good.

We had Whataburger in Jacksonville we would go to when we lived in SE Georgia so that was nice, but JAX is the furthest into Florida they go at the moment, so I'm hoping they expand to the Orlando/Tampa area soon. No way I'm ever counting on getting a Braum's (given their radius policy) or an In-N-Out so those will just have to be things I enjoy when I'm back in OKC or Dallas.

Haha! I do this exact same thing at McDonald's when I have to go there... the smaller double or triple just seems better to me than the QP.

Braums is experiencing a system wide outage .... all stores are Cash only (this started on Tuesday and this may last a while)

I went thru the drive-thru normally on Tuesday morning but Wednesday morning, I encountered the outage. I assumed it would be a very temporary thing. I wonder what is going on?

Something extended like that might be ransomware.

a cyber attack is my understanding

My favorite fast food burger is Culver’s. Wish we had a couple in Oklahoma. My last experience at an In-N-Out was in suburban Las Vegas. The burger was not as good as I remembered and the location I visited was actually surprisingly unclean.

The only other times I’ve dined at In-N-Out was in San Francisco and it was quite good.

The only Shake Shack I visited was the original Danny Meyer location in Madison Square Park. It was exceptional but I have heard the other locations are hit or miss.

I've thought that also about their fries. I don't like them at all. They have really good onion rings if you like those.

Burger Punk has the best fries in the OKC metro by far.
