in-n-out

[FkLA]

been stuck in Dallas but heading back today so I'll probably stop on the way...what do yall niggas recommend, just like a #1 ?

[Buddy Mignon]

Taco Bell. Should make you feel at home, eh?

[Rogue]

people who grew up eating narutos, tacos and burritos don't like buying those shits from restaurants, just like chinks don't wanna by chinese food from chinese restaurants imho, instead they'd rather cook shits at home by themselves.

:lol very true we call Taco Bell fake Mexican food tbh

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

FkLA, don't get the fries. In-n-out fries are terrible. If you're gonna go there just get two burgers instead.

[jeebus]

I never understood the circle jerk over that place. Yeah it has ok burgers but not enough to go ape shit over it like people do. It's a fast food burger yet the news show people crying over it :lol

[Dirk Oneanddoneski]

Double double animal style tbh:hungry:

Same thing happened when Krispy Kreme first came to Austin. Fat fags were driving up north to get some and bring them back down. Then they opened in town and the fat tubs went even more crazy. Now? Meh. Overrated.

[FkLA]

Yeah, I'm just getting it to see what the big deal is tbh. If I don't like it I probably won't go back. I remember people making a big deal of Chris Madrids so I went but didn't really think it lived up to the hype--haven't gone back.

Not too picky with fries either, I'm more concerned with the burger tbh. Double double animal looks good, is that the best they got?

If you're gonna be in a car for several hours after, I wouldn't recommend animal style :lol

[baseline bum]

In N Out has the best shakes I have had. Their fries are pretty bland, the burgers are excellent for fast food (so don't expect too much, but it kills Whataburger).

[leemajors]

get the fries well done.

[DPG21920]

Make sure to get grilled onions, makes a huge difference imo fwiw.

[FkLA]

So one opened in Round Rock apparently, decided to stop here instead. Bad fucking idea the drive thru line is literally all the way across another parking lot. There's security and everything. Only in America tbh. :lol

[ChumpDumper]

Stop by P-Terry's in Austin. Close enough.

[oh crap]

I've never had a burnt burger from there, tbh....

[CuckingFunt]

I miss In-N-Out. I wouldn't drive all over the place, I wouldn't wait for hours, and I wouldn't cry, but if they opened one close to me I'd probably wait 50 minutes for that first Double Double. I haven't had one in years.

[Bill_Brasky]

Damn, how long has it been open? Who the fuck waits two hours for a burger?

a faggot. little red wagon >>>>>>>> any bullshit fast food

[FkLA]

Nah, that's why I laughed. Although I guess compared to the two hr wait they had when they opened Tuesday that wasn't too bad tbh.

[monosylab1k]

tbh maybe the ones in DFW just suck ass, but any time i've gone to Five Guys the burgers are burnt and their fries are disgustingly greasy.

[Katherine Robinson]

Just find a taco truck that cooks the burgers in churizo grease.

I'm always tempted to try them after hearing tlong's glowing review, but I think I'll steer clear now.

[ColinB]

Kind of surprised about the hate for Whataburger. I think it's solid and would take it over In-N-Out, Five Guys, P Terry's, and a lot of other fast food joints.

[oh crap]

whataburger is severely overrated. i'm always baffled by all the love it gets and the general consensus that it's so great.

[m>s]

smashburger is decent, whataburger is decent, certain burger box locations are really good but not all since i think they're independently owned. best burger i ever had was at a place called "hole in the wall" out by graham tx.

[DJR210]

This shit will be irrelevant in 6 months just like Krystal Burger.

I went there twice. never had a burnt burger but they just threw a bunch of fries in the bag. By the time I got home, you could see through my bag due to all the grease. no thank you. burger was just ok, at best.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Yeah, the fries at in-n-out aren't the greatest and I can't imagine what they're like regular. I always get them well done and they're still ehh. Also, animal style is the way to go on the burgers.

[BurgerKing]

People in So Cal don’t spend their day bragging about fast food like YOU FAT PEOPLE do in San Antonio…In n Out is just a fast food joint that is not horrible like McDonalds, Burger King or Jack in the Box. :lol

:flipoff

[The Gemini Method]

In-N-Out is a cult thing here in Cali--It's rather good for the price you pay as you can safely buy three combo meals and spend less than $20. I live down the street from one of the original In-N-Outs and you can wait upwards to 30 mins at the place. I normally go with the Animal Style w/circle onion and chopped banana peppers. I would choose it over Five Guys and any other moderately priced fast food, but it wouldn't be the first choice of burger if I had to pick. That would go to Father's Office, Umami, or Slater's 50/50. Congregation Ale House has a Kobe beef or Wagyu beef burger that is definitely worth the try.

[Spur|n|Austin]

I'll go to the In-n-out in Round Rock once the lines go down, I'm not in a rush like the fatties they showed on the news literally crying over the opening. As far as I'm concerned, Whataburger is tops in the fast food department for burgers right now, may change my mind after trying In-n-out though.

[gameFACE]

Yeah, I don't get it. I love Whataburger. I tried In N Out and thought it was okay but absolutely nothing to write home about. It's just another fast food burger. If anything I thought the "special sauce" was laughable. You should be embarrassed if you have to have fucking 1000 island dressing on your burger.:lol I gave them a second chance without the sauce and it was decent enough.

I've heard of G Burger in the O.C., but I haven't been out there yet. I would also recommend The Counter, too. The Habit could be compared to your guys' Whataburger, I think? I would recommend going to Father's Office and Umami first and Slater's 50/50 if you're really hungry or are planning on working out hard if you're in the SoCal area. They use a burger which is 50% beef (sirloin and other types) and 50% bacon ground up. You also have a plethora of custom-made sauce and toppings that you can add to really give you indigestion and a coronary!

See them on our way to Vegas--never had the urge to try 'em and I think that is a direct correlation to the desire to get to the Capital of Debauchery that I hadn't stopped and try one. I mean, I just recently stopped @ Alien Jerky and its been around forever on the way back from LV.

[JoeChalupa]

Haven't tried in-n-out, 5 guys or smash burger. Will try them someday.

[DJR210]

For those in the Medical Center area, check out San Antonio Burger. The owner relies on word of mouth so his food is always on point. I've never had a bad experience when ordering from him. They are a bit more expensive than average, but it's worth it IMO.

Plus, they deliver. No need to do a munchie run when you're high as shit.

[Mark in Austin]

Tried the In n Out that just opened on Airport Blvd in Austin last night around 7:30. Had it when I've been out west - was looking forward to a high quality burger. Was disappointed. Fries tasted like the shoestring potatoes you get in a can / pringles (reconstituted, not real), burger was burnt. Lettuce was yellow and bitter. This burger would have had trouble beating DQ, much less whataburger or pterrys.

Tried it again w/ a friend today. Burger was better, but something is still off about the fries.

'Well Done' means crispy to the point they're not the typical In-N-Out fries. I don't particularly like the fries normally from In-N-Out so I usually get them well done with cheese on them or I just share with my other half.

[IronMaxipad]

The fries are meh which is why i always get them animal style. So much better.

In N Out fries are lousy. I'll have to try them well done with the cheese & peppers though. That doesn't sound too bad. Surprised to hear the quality of their burger was so shitty at that Austin location. Sad if expansion kills the golden goose with them. They resisted expansion so long, but I think the owner died 2-3 years ago and the kids took over, and I'd hate to see them end up like the Lakers did when the same shit happened tbh.

It was a wife & husband thing for the first 45-50 years and when they both died, there was a huge war over who'd have control since the couple didn't have any biological kids. I believe it was between the niece and CFO and they're varying ideas of how the corporation should head in the 21st century. The niece wanted to expand eastward and make it a national chain and the CFO had the vision of keeping the In-N-Out a western chain with the emphasis on California being the hub and main point of its existence. It got pretty heated and went through lawsuits and I believe the niece won out and so you have the expansion of the name. Which, I am sure, has made the product less the once proud icon of California living and another branch of chain manifestation that seems to be archaic with a trend of restaurants seeking to be smaller in scale.

I think it depends on when you get 'em--I have gotten the fries during the dinner rush and they don't seem to be on point. However, getting them late (a sin; I know) after like 11pm here in Cali they're way better.

[CuckingFunt]

In general I've only ever had optimal In-N-Out fries in Southern California locations. My old Pasadena In-N-Out had the best fries ever; perfect and super fresh. Ordering them well done seems to make up for a lot of sins, but the fries definitely have been the thing to suffer most from the chain's expansion.

[Mark in Austin]

After trying In-n-out multiple times, at different times of day, and varying up the order (trying animal style burger, well done fries, no cheese to taste the flavor of the burger better, etc), I'm out. It's just not as good as I remember in LA. Tonight the tomatoes were mealy, the lettuce was bitter and yellow, and the fries still taste like something out of a can. After 5 visits, the only thing I've had that I want to have again is the vanilla shake.

P. Terry's Burger Stand (they're only in Austin but are a similar, simple menu burger concept with about half a dozen locations) outclasses In-n-out in just about every way. It is a tastier burger: bigger patty, better quality toppings, wheat bun option. Thin cut, skin-on fries that actually taste like fried potatoes. A ground chicken burger and a veggie burger that are both excellent as well. And the Maine Root milkshake can hold it's own against the In-n-out shake.

I'll still swing by In-n-out when I'm in LA, but they can't deliver anything better than an average burger experience in Austin.

[mrsmaalox]

Speaking of In-N-Out.....I read that the tentative location here in SA is at 410 and McCullough, across from Northstar Mall (the strip center where TGIF and Sam Ash are). That makes no sense at all to me with the kind of traffic In-N-Out generates---that has to be one of the shittiest parking lots in all of SA to begin with; I just can't see it without razing the entire strip center first.

I go to HopDoddy at 2pm when no one is there if I do go.

Coincidentally I was at HopDoddy in Dallas this weekend. Great burger, fries AND Maine Root craft sodas! The wait on Sunday afternoon was not bad.

It's strange to me that a hamburger joint would choose not to serve all their fries well done. I mean why would anyone want under done fries? Unless in this case "well done" means "over done", then yea, it's a matter of taste.

Apparently you've never heard of "shoestring potatoes" which are quite popular in stores across the nation.

Yes I've heard of shoestring potatoes :rolleyes. But what does that have to do with the level of "doneness"? Any shape/cut of potato can be overdone, underdone or well done.

Super crispy (and super greasy I might add), to the point of ridiculous IMHO.
But it all goes to show, since they are well liked, that one persons poison is another persons pie.
"Doneness" is in the eye of the beholder, or in this case, the mouth of the taster.
:lol

Personally, I can't stand the taste or consistency of how frozen fried potatoes come out. I prefer fresh cut and long French fries like you get at places like Chester's or Chris Madrids.
That is the way I make them at home.

Two drive thru P Terry's opened near 183 and Duval about a month ago. I still just go to Short Stop on their special days -- combo for under $5 and no maddening wait. Folks here have gone overboard with supposedly fancy burgers.

I'm not a big fan of a fancy burger. Nothing makes me crazier than eating a meal with a bunch of pretentious hipsters (which is why I avoid Torchy's Tacos here as well - their slogan might as well be "We fry avocado for hipster douchebags"). And if I'm going to wait for a burger, it will be at Counter Cafe, Chris Madrid's or the original Fuddruckers (if it's still there - haven't been in years).

However, I do think it's worth discussing a burger chain that has built it's reputation on an affordable, very high quality product; and if that product actually delivers. Comparing it to a local Austin chain that is also passionate about quality and affordability (as I know Patrick Terry is) I also think has merit.

Yeah, I am much more likely to go to the sit-down P-Terry's on Parmer or outside on Lamar when I'm there. I just really hate waiting around in my car.

The Torchy's up here on Spicewood Springs is relatively hipster free, thank God.

Really? I'll have to give it a try. I honestly was so turned off by the atmosphere last time I was at one I'm sure it lowered my opinion of the food. It's going to be hard to dislodge TacoDeli as my favorite breakfast / lunch taco joint, but I'll give that Torchy's a shot.

You been to the Veracruz trailer on Caesar Chavez? It's quite good, excellent tacos but they can be overzealous with cilantro (i am one of the 30% who tastes it as soap.

The only decent place I've found to eat good Mexican food in Austin is Dario's on East 6th St.
