Tears and a two-mile-long line mark opening of the first In-N-Out Burger joints in Texas

  If you know anyone from Southern California, you've probably heard them wax poetic about In-N-Out Burger.

The legendary family-run chain is now winning over legions of new fans, but farther east than ever before as two new restaurants open in the north Texas towns of Frisco and Allen.

Cars lined up as far as two miles for the drive-thrus, and fans spent the night in the parking lot, for the chance to get a bite of the first In-N-Out burgers east of Arizona.

Danielle DeInnocentes of The Colony, Texas, broke into tears after she bit into a Double-Double, a famous In-N-Out sandwich made from two meat patties and two slices of cheese.

Ms DeInnocentes is originally from Rialto, California, and in a video posted online, she says she is ecstatic that In-N-Out opened a restaurant two miles from her house.

She told restaurant staff: 'You're going to see my every day'.

Ms DeInnocentes called the Double-Double 'the best hamburger in the world', and said, 'Pinch me, it doesn't feel real!'

There hasn’t been a good fast food French fry since the late lamented Wuv’s chain went belly-up in 1991. All fries cut from fresh Russets and put right into the fryer. Never a frozen potato.

In N Out only uses fresh potatoes, no frozen.

I still miss Naugles.

Texans have too many foods that are so much better than an In and Out Burger!

Great BBQ, great smoked briskets, out of this world steak restaurants using mesquite to cook over, fajitas to die for! Tell me you all don’t have local joints that put these hamburger chains to shame?

Two Pesos got taken-over by Taco Cabana.

Taco Cabana can’t compare. I really miss Two Pesos.

This story is about a new In-n-Out, not “the old in-n-out.”

That’s what I think makes In-N-Out a neat experience. The advertised menu is sparse, but man, you’re only limited by your imagination there.

There’s just something about a bun that’s been greased on a griddle and a hamburger made with FRESH ingredients, nothing frozen.

It isn’t just a burger when it tastes like home and 17 and good times and hot women.

That was my feeling of Taco Cabana. Similar floor plan, but just not the same home flavor,..sort of a Tex-Mex Po-Man’s Country Club.

I can’t believe someone would cry over a hamburger, no matter how good it is. She probably cries all the time. Must be tough to be her husband.

Ask for the fries “crispy” and they WILL do it for you!

Specify a little extra - or extra extra. They will fry them up.

Fresh potatoes in pure canola oil.

The old drive in for me was called Griffs and you got a hamburger (not much of one) for 15cents

Yep been eating them for years...a friend's dad worked at the first one...we use to go by all the time...

and while it isn't fast food it is worth the wait...
