Frisco/Allen: In-N-Out Opens Wednesday

[Dex]

Yes, North Texas, you can finally grab a Double-Double Animal Style at the first two In-N-Out locations opening this Wednesday, May 11.

Locations in Frisco and Allen will open at 10:30 a.m. on that day, though they may open early if customers are waiting, according to an e-mail sent from In-N-Out representitive Carl Van Fleet.

Fleet said the other North Texas locations are "at least several weeks, if not a few months, away" from opening.

The west-coast burger chain will have some fierce competition in the area, with Denver-based Smashburger looking to expand after investment from Cowboys offensive line player Mark Columbo and others brought the chain to the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Columbo told NBCDFW they plan on opening a Frisco location of the chain in the near future.

In addition, burger barns like Mooyah, Five Guys Burgers and Fries, Evolution Burger, Twisted Root, Love Shack and more are all expanding into North Texas, further enflaming the burger battle.


Looks like I'll have to be taking a road-trip soon.

Just hit one in Sacramento and damn is that shit delicious. If they ever make it to Austin, I'm going to be a fat fuck.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Right down the road from me. Gonna wait it out a month, but traffic is gonna suck on Preston :td

[4>0rings]

Mexicans want an In-N-Out too, along with a Steak and Shake. Bring them South!

there building a steak n shake by the rim @ six flags......in n out supposedly will be expanding to SA,Austin and Houston by no later than early next year....I'm hoping for fall :hat

[Sense]

Isn't there a steak and shake in Austin or somewhere by it?

[Buddy Holly]

Steak n Shake is SA based and they're building on at 1604 and I-10.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Steak n shake is complete crap. Whorrible.

[monosylab1k]

Yeah steak n shake is so bad i'd take mcdonalds over it any day

[Kermit]

Steak n' Shake up North is decent. In Austin it's probably the worst burger joint in town.

[JudynTX]

What's so great about these burgers?

[DMC]

Steak n Shake is overpriced crap.

There used to be a place either on 15th or MLK called Players that had good burgers and shakes. Haven't been there in forever so not sure it's still around.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

A buddy I work with drives in from Little Elm and said the line was already around the block this morning.

[SsKSpurs21]

they are good but nothing to overhype about. if you have ever been to P. terrys burger stand in Austin or top notch, its very very similar IMO.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

I went there after a night of drinking and if food sucks when you're drunk..........

Best burger I've had in San Antonio since I've been here has been from Texas Hamburger Company..

Haven't been to many burger joints in San Antonio other than shitty Chris Madrids.. but without comparing this place makes some delicious burgers..

[NASCARdad]

I had Chris Madrid's a few weeks ago and it is still a great tasting burger.

I used to think so.. until I realized how lazy they are at making them and how greasy they are... got me sick.. I stopped eating that shit

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Fox 4 was at the Frisco location this morning, first guy in line was this fat guy who said he'd been camping out for two days waiting for it to open.

Figures :lol

[Viva Las Espuelas]

The only reason I want to try it is cuz of Big Lebowski :lol
I hope my car doesn't get dinged up.

[Dex]

What's so great about these burgers?

That's the thing: they're not the most amazing burgers ever or anything. I can make a better burger in my own kitchen.

They are just good, basic fast food burgers. Good quality ingredients, not overdone or overdressed. Burgers, fries, drinks. That's it. See the menu:

http://i51.tinypic.com/dcpk02.jpg

You can't even get bacon on them or anything, but the beauty is in the simplicity, I guess.

One of the main reasons I like them is because they remind me of when I lived in California. Whenever we go back, it's a must stop. I would probably feel the same way about Whataburgers if I were to leave Texas.

Those are some good burgers, Walter.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Shut the fuck up, Donny

[dallaskd]

going up to the frisco location right now.. with high expectations

Yawn. I don't think I'm missing out on anything then.

[mrsmaalox]

That menu looks a lot like the one at that "3 or 5 or however many guys" place. I can't stand that place and their bag full of greasy french fry stubs. Bleh.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

About how long do you think one would have to wait to get food today? I'm planning on making a trip at around 7 tonight.

Who the hell would get in such a line for a burger? Seriously... wait it out

[Dex]

No kidding. I plan on hitting it up at some point, but I'll be giving it a good month or two, at least, to let the hype die down a bit.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Yeah. I remember when everyone shat themselves when Krystal's got here. It was crazy. When I finally tried it, cuz we couldn't think of anything else, it was eh. Now they're all gone here.

[baseline bum]

Who the hell would get in a line that long for a fucking burger? I wouldn't wait in that line even if the chick at the drive thru window was giving blowjobs with every order.

[baseline bum]

They could be serving steak and lobster for $2.99 and no way that line is worth waiting in.

[AmericanWoman]

I'd rather just have a DQ burger.

[greyforest]

I'm a fan of Longhorn Cafe on I10 near Cielo Vista. Great burgers. Tim Duncan eats there, fwiw

[CuckingFunt]

Not gonna lie. As a born and bred Californian who has lived several states away from In-N-Out for almost a year now, I can almost call that line worth it.

Almost.




My heart yearns for a Double Double.

Krystal's sucked though, just like white castle. In & Out is awesome for fast food, always stopped there when i would visit Cali. I hope they make it down here. They use fresh meat and you can taste it.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Wth?

[mFFL03]

someone on my FB board posted that they have been in line for 3 hours and just got to the line.....still worth it?

[symple19]

after getting used to INO in Cali, it sucks being so far away from one of those bomb-ass burgers. I love the fries too.

But no way would I ever wait in a line that long.

[Fpoonsie]

Didn't have shit else going on today, sooo...(I went to the one in Frisco)


Arrived at 5:30. The drive-thru line actually zig-zagged for at least half a mile.

http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc158/Fpoonsie/IMAG0205.jpg

I get to my spot in the line, but can't really see just how long it extends around the corner.

http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc158/Fpoonsie/IMAG0204.jpg

Finally, I get an idea of what I'm in for.

http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc158/Fpoonsie/IMAG0207.jpg
http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc158/Fpoonsie/IMAG0208.jpg

An hour in, and the medics and fire truck (tha fuck?) arrive. Evidently, someone tried to cut, and someone else took objection. I wish I was kidding. The cutter was arrested. The cut-TEE was sent to the hospital.

http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc158/Fpoonsie/IMAG0210.jpg

After 2 hours, I make it inside...only to find out that I have to wait another hour and 45 minutes for my order to be ready.

http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc158/Fpoonsie/IMAG0212.jpg

I came back at 9:30, and the line is even longer than it was when I first got there.

http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc158/Fpoonsie/IMAG0213.jpg

I grab my order, and make the long walk back to my car. A Double-Down and fries, both animal style, with a root beer. Tasty? Fuck yes. Worth a four hour wait? Not unless it comes w/ "animal style" sex afterwards.

Luckily, I've found a burger place here in Lexington that is almost as good

Smash Burger. Not sure how much of the country they cover, (had never seen one before moving here) but that is one tasty burger! BTW, they serve beer too.

Yeah, I've heard that's good, symp.

We have two of 'em in Dallas. Need to hit one up one of these days.

If nothing else, hopefully this shows In-N-Out that Texas is ready to support more than 2-5 freaking locations.

Crews preparing for more crowds today at In-N-Out Burger in Frisco
By Valerie Wigglesworth/Reporter
[email protected] | Bio
11:01 AM on Thu., May. 12, 2011

I stopped by In-N-Out Burger in Frisco this morning on my way to the office. The California-based chain had opened early again today, but didn't have nearly the line that it did on Wednesday - its first day in Texas here and in Allen.

Burger-fanatics on foot all fit inside the restaurant, and the drive-through lane was manageable with less than 10 cars.

But crews are expecting another big crowd. They've got yellow warning tape wrapped around the shopping center parking lot to guide drive-through customers, who stretched more than 80 cars long on Wednesday morning (I hear it got longer at lunchtime).

Frisco's store manager Scott Bayliss said he's been humbled by the warm welcome to Texas. He's been with In-N-Out for 13 years and moved to Frisco from Los Angeles a month ago. In the video above, which was shot on Wednesday before the burger chain's opening, he's on the right in the blue shirt and red apron leading the song.

Bayliss loves his job and loves bringing a bit of joy into customers' lives. "Food is one of life's little pleasures," he said. "We offer a burger, fries and a drink. But it's more than that."

In case you missed it, check out today's story on why places like In-N-Out garner such a following. And you can watch the video of the grand opening here.

Wonder how long it will take for the crowds to become semi-tolerable.

congratz on the In and Out Texas!

Makes me want to get one for lunch...

now should i go to the one 5 block from me to the East, or the one 5 blocks from me to the North....hmmmm....i guess ill go to the one next to my office instead.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

I've been to smashburger once. Once! And I intend to keep it that way. The novelty of "smashing" the meat on the grill really doesn't grab me. Gourmet prices for a salty all-around meal.

Agree. Way too salty meat. But I do love getting to opt for veggies instead of fries :tu

In n out, 5 Guys, etc.....I miss Rally's.

[CuckingFunt]

Okay. Wow.

I was only somewhat joking yesterday when I made the crack that my heart yearns for a Double Double. And there's no doubt in my mind that if an In-N-Out opened anywhere within an hour drive of me, I'd find a way to get there within its first week of business. But even I think it's fucking batshit to cry over a fast food hamburger. Equally batshit to eat one everyday.

"North Texas also seems an appropriate fit for the expanding In-N-Out presence (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/05/12/in-n-out-burger-north-texas-expansion_n_861172.html), considering its propensity of churches and Christian residents. In-N-Out's roots are largely Christian, and the chain even refers to bible verses on its food and drink items. "John 3:16" is printed in small text on the bottom of soda cups, milkshakes point to "Proverbs 3:5," and burger wrappers bear "Revelation 3:20."

I mentioned Smashburger a while back in another thread. And yes, it is delicious. I like that you can create your own burger too for the exact same price.

And they have so much selection...you can even put a fried egg on it.
