Went to Culvers last week. Burger looked like an elephant stepped on it. Meat was burnt crispy............
:(
We drove through Texas and everyone said “Stop an In-n-Out burger! You’ll love it!” So, in the middle of Dallas we stopped.
It sucked.
I would have said that a few years ago. But the last few times I went to Culvers the food wasn’t very good. Shakes are still great, but the food slipped in quality, really greasy, not very flavorful.
Was in Culver’s 3 weeks ago. Burger was overcooked and dry. Wife’s crispy chicken sandwich was soooooo thin, little meat and a lot of breading. Not impressed. Fries were pretty spot on, but that didn’t save the meal.
Culver’s is delicious but their fries are nothing to write home about.
I like their onion rings though.
Tommy’s on Beverly and Rampart was way better until Tommy died and they F’d it up totally. I wish I could have tried one in the 50s
From the East Coast and went to San Diego in February to visit my brother. Never tried In-N-Out as they are a West coast chain. So I went to In-N-Out and was not impressed. Hell, Fuddruckers was better than In-N-Out back in the day and Five Guys is better now.
The fries are fresh, peeled and cut in the store. I don’t know what they put in the oil. Meat is fresh too mostly from local area farms (one of the reasons they still aren’t a ‘national chain’). I’m not an In-n-Out fanatic though. Everything there is too salty.
we don’t have an In and Out near us, so when we go to Vegas, we always stop in ....we love it....fun atmosphere, you can sit outside in the warmth, staff is friendly....
I would agree that Culver’s is better than In and Out. Those cheese curd things are great! In and Out is good, but their fries are ... well ... Californi-fied.
I agree. I prefer Culvers, Whataburger Carl’s Jr. or Freddy’s over In n Out any day.
I’ll take Five Guys.
In and Out is horrible.
Its silly. Judging takeout burgers and fries is like judging Barbeque sauces or Chili - to each his own, taste. Best is what is best to you.
I don’t really “get” the constant drumbeat of complaints about In-N-Out french fries. They peel potatoes, push ‘em through a slicer and then fry them in sunflower oil. Add some salt. That’s it. Those are real french fries. Period. There’s nothing to “fix.” If you don’t like them, then the problem is that you don’t like real french fries. If whatever frozen, sugar-coated, chemically-enhanced potato byproduct served at McDonald’s, Burger King and their ilk is more to your liking, then eat that instead.
back in the day carls jr rocked!
In-n-Out is great. Nation's is better, but only found in the greater Bay area.
