In-N-Out

[SoonerQueen]

I had my first In-N-Out experience tonight. They have a very simple menu, just burgers, fries, and drinks. Couldn't believe the line of cars waiting for take out. We ate in, and I had a double burger, fries, and iced tea. The meat on the burger was very good, kinda like a really good quality double cheeseburger. Have to be honest, I like Smashburgers better and the sweet potato fries. We also went to Costco, and got to go in and check out the store. We couldn't buy anything without a membership.We really need to get a Costco in the OKC area. They had a bottle of wine there for $450.00. I liked it much better than Sams.

What are we posting Facebook statuses on OKCtalk now?

[SoonerQueen]

I'm just sharing my new experiences with you all. I'll be coming home Friday night, so there won't be anything to type about after that.

[nighttrain12]

Your original post doesn't mention what city you are in. At first I assumed it was the OKC area and I wondered where a new In & Out was.

[SoonerQueen]

I'm in Dallas Texas.

Check out Five Guys or Mooyah

SoonerQueen, you made me look up where Costco is in OKC. :-/

you been hanging with Durant? <VBG>

[SoonerQueen]

Costco isn't in Oklahoma. We're in the Dallas area, and we went to one of the stores here.

Obviously there is confusion from these "random thoughts" threads, or Facebook-like status posts, when they are not descriptive enough to say they aren't concerning OKC and that they are in another city. Perhaps we need a "Non-OKC" section of the forum or perhaps a Blogs section for people to post such threads. It is always welcome to hear thoughts on how other cities do things, but just need to make sure things are clear to say that it isn't about OKC but about another city. At least this thread wasn't started with just a link to some random page with no additional contribution to assist in the discussion.

I don't know which specific thread you are referring to, but since I started one last night about Native Roots going downtown, I am going to assume that it's the most recent one that bugged you. I don't know why you would expect there to be a need to say anything on development news. A development story speaks for itself and responses are merely opinions and expressions of excitement and or/apathy towards it; someone needs to get the news out. Fwiw, I think Native Roots is a great addition to downtown, hence the exclamation point in the thread title.

Costco does have a good French Roast Coffee...albeit in a pretty big croaker sack...

[SoonerQueen]

Sad but true, after Friday I'll be back in OKC and not traveling for a long time. So most if not all posts will be OKC related.Sorry for any confusion my posts may have caused.

[redrunner]

Shoulda titled this thread "SoonerQueen's Dallas Adventure" since it wasn't just about In-N-Out.

We went to the mall tonight and saw Green Lantern. Before that we went to Sonny Bryan's BBQ for dinner. They say they are the best BBQ in Texas. Not sure if they are the best, but it was pretty darn good.

Barry Luxton likes this. . .but do we really need to have two threads about the same restaurant chain on the first page? Honestly?

[bluedogok]

Which Sonny Bryan's? The original on Inwood was still the best when I lived down there 20 years ago. There was one in the tunnels downtown that I would get lunch at and one in the West End at that time. I have stopped at the one by Alliance Airport in Fort Worth heading back to Austin a few times.

[SoonerQueen]

The one we went to was on Preston Road in a shopping center. My husband went to another location that had school desks in it.

[bluedogok]

The Inwood location (just south of Love Field) has the desks.

Have you heard of Pete's Cafe on Belt Line Road? We ate breakfast a lot there. Norma's was good too. Pete's was busy all the time. I'm missing my Smashburgers sweet potato fries already.

Pete's Cafe on Belt Line is quite the breakfast place. It is rather small, however, that adds to the charm and originality of this nice clean hole in the wall diner. There pecan waffles are incredible. They cook the pecans in the batter so it makes them nice and warm. In addition, they serve their Belgian Waffles with warm syrup! Great breakfast Norma's is good as well. They make all their pies and pastries and they the best Strawberry Cake!

Wasn't directed at that thread specifically at all. However, a thread shouldn't be started with just a link and nothing else. If anything include the first paragraph of the story being linked and other items allowed by copyright restrictions. I don't really see how hard it is to contribute an opinion, thought or idea when posting on a discussion forum. Just my 2 cents.

Back to the In and Out rumors....

[Brett]

KXAS produced a good news article about In N Out Burger. A little over two weeks from now, I should be enjoying my first double double animal style.

[InsomniCat]

I hear that In-N-Out, like Braums, never freezes their meat so they have to have chains in daily driving distance from their distribution site. We may see one sooner than not here in Oklahoma City since we're in range of that distribution center. At least that's what I'm hoping for. I'd like to see a Five Guys here as well.. Next time I travel to get a burger it'll be to Meers where I hear they have an excellent 100% longhorn burger. I'm a burgervore so I love me a good burger experience.
