In-N-Out Burgers vs. Five Guys
Me | 4/8/11 | Oh, the huge vanity

Posted on 04/08/2011 9:32:29 PM PDT by Mike Darancette

5 guys just moved into town which is better In-N-Out Burgers or Five Guys?

From what I hear 5 Guys is better but for fries, shakes, burger taste and prices. What say you all.

Their burgers look like plastic, I suspect people go for the ladies not the food.

Jack-in-the-Box or Hardees are the best for hamburgers!

I have never been to a 5 guys.

That said, what could possibly be better than an In-N-out Double-Double?

You live in Seattle and you haven’t been to XXX or FatBurger???

Red Robin is a Burgerking in comparison.

In and Out is in Calif, AZ, NV, Utah, and now a few Texas ( opening soon ) locations. Thought they were OK when I lived in SoCal but not the best. Five Guys is better.

Five Guys is amazing. TONS of fries—real, fresh potato fries. Pretty much any topping you want on the burger. Meat that tastes like actual beef.

In and Out was lame the one time I went there.

Chicago is famous for the Rib Eye Burger although they don’t call it a burger, some other name.

That that sucker is fantastic.

There is some place there I ate called Hillbilly’s or something like that. It is killer, a burger made with nothing but steak.

No need to see the pics, I lived in southern Cal for a while, so I’ve seen and eaten many an In and Out burger in person. Like I said, I do consider it to be a very good fast food burger.

I’ve only tried Five Guys once. I don’t remember the burger-—it seemed a little dry and cold and didn’t look like it came off the greasy grill. The fries were crisp and plentiful, but they only serve ketchup for dipping——no tartar! I can’t eat fries without tartar sauce. It’s one of my eating-out favorite foods. I can understand that they want things simple, but really, no tartar is a dealbreaker.

The atmosphere wasn’t very relaxing. The lighting is too harsh and their walls are bright white. I felt like I was in a hospital or at the dentist. I prefer soft lighting where I can’t see my dining partner’s mayo and ketchup smeared on their faces so clearly.

I wss hoping that it would be like a cheaper Red Robin, but, like I said before, their burgers were not very memorable. I’m sure I’ll give it another shot and maybe bring my own tartar.

Of the two, gotta go with In n Out. But when I used to go to Los Angeles on business, my favorite was Tommy’s. I haven’t been there in years though. Are they still around

No, I am talking about Fat Burger and XXX

I am sure you have been to In-n-Out, who in Cali hasn’t

The closest Jack to me is 3 hours away but sometimes it seems almost worth the drive just for the sirloin burger and tacos.

They're both better than any burgers in New England.

On the other hand, I would kill to have D'Angelo's open stores in Columbus so I could get a real sandwich.

You got a bad one. Usually, Fudd’s is top notch.

The tacos that Jack makes are deep fried with American cheese, they frankly don’t taste like tacos to me yet are surprisingly good.

I think they will kill my heart though, so I don’t eat them anymore.

Will give them a go, only about 10 miles from me. I have been avoiding them like the plague but have noticed that their parking lot doesn’t look very active.

It made me think nothing had changed. But I will stick my nose in there.

And In-n-Out has the cleanest kitchen, nicest staff and best service of any fast food (and most dine-in) restaurant in the country. Never got a wrong order. Never had anything less than a perfect experience there. Fast food heaven.

That's the same as my 5 Guys location.
