Give me Shake Shack over In-N-Out any day of the week.
With the talk about wages in the thread, I was at in and out burger when I visited Dallas this weekend. There was a sign outside advertising hiring at $11 per hour. If I was a high schooler I would be applying.
Of course it was delicious.
As in, you could get in and out of the restaurant very quickly. In 1948, they were among the first restaurants - if not the first - to have a drive-through in the way we know it today, allowing for a faster speed of service vs the carhop system that was prevalent then.

Just thought I would add that I got to visit with a store manager at one of the Dallas locations about two weeks ago. He mentioned that there had been an internal survey this summer for store managers about potential relocation to OKC. He has heard that OKC and Houston are candidates for their next major market but he thinks that OKC could be first. This truly is the greatest fast food chain in America IMHO. I would urge all of you to contact In-N-Out corporate about our city.

I'm sure that we will eventually see them here but for us die hard fans that day can't come soon enough!
In-n-Out is probably the worst fast food burger I have ever had in my life. The fries arent even edible.
Mind-blowing that this **** burger chain has a thread 9 pages long in a market where we dont even have one.
Remember when people lost their minds when Krispy Kreme finally showed up in OKC, then they realized it was just another donut?
In-N-Out will be similar, only people will realize it tastes like **** compared to virtually any other burger in the metro.
My favorite thing about In-n-Out Burger is the limited selection. You order a hamburger or a cheeseburger then you move out of the way so the next person can order. No standing around for five minutes trying to decide if you want the #1,#2,#3. . .and so on. JMO!
I will admit their fries leave a little bit to be desired, but to take a dump on the burgers? You are insane.
It's not in the same league as a Nick's burger, etc. because -- well it's not in the same league. It's a fast food restaurant--it's market is shared by McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, Carl's Jr, and Jack In The Box. In-N-Out has the best fast food burger by far.
It's unfair to compare it to a burger at a sit-down restaurant or greasy-spoon, because it's not even the same category.
I'm not as extreme as some here, but honestly? I've had both and I'll take Whataburger anyway and I know several friends who've felt the same. We've even had the discussion at work and the opinion was pretty much unanimous. I mean, I'm all for more chains and businesses. But I don't hold it on some alter.
I agree Whataburger is good fast food burger. And so is Five Guys. But this homeboy up here is acting like In-N-Out is garbage and McDonalds makes a better burger. Which is asinine and a total grab at trying to get attention. With that said I feel as though there are 2 levels of fast food burgers, and the ones mentioned are in the upper level for sure.
As a burger lover, I can't complain about any burger joint. Each one really has their own flavor which I may crave one day and not the next. There are times when the flavor of the In-N-Out burger does not sound good, but a BBQ double cheeseburger at Burger King does sound good. Other days a McDonald's standard double cheeseburger sounds good. The quality and flavor of each vary, so really it is difficult to honestly compare taste which is a completely impossible thing as each of us have different tastes, and your body craves different flavors day to day and even meal to meal.
Hate to be a buzz killer but if you don't want a date with the widow maker like I had, you need to make sure that burger you like doesn't have trans fat in it. Artery disease is real and trans fats are a cause. (I only eat Freddys Steak Burgers now. )
