Overrated anyway. I was born and raised in L.A. and there are a million better burgers to be found. Oh, and their fries really just suck. :|
Totally agree. Don’t understand the cult following. It’s just fast food. Necessary on the road sometimes but I can’t imagine why someone would be excited about it.
It's a tourist thing. People hear In-N-Out is "good" and, frankly, the burgers are pretty damn good for the price point. But it's about going to In-N-Out, getting a t-shirt, and taking a selfie with your bestie surrounded by 50s diner decor, and then, continuing on your road trip or whatever.
There's always a place nearby to get a "better" burger, and you could pull better fries out of a store-branded bag of frozen "seasoned potato sticks", but the food ain't the reason people go.
No matter what praise I've seen of In-N-Out the criticism of their fries seems nearly universal.
We got some in my state recently, and I have to agree. I had always heard about in and out and wanted to try. Boy, was it disappointing. Hamburgers just okay, but the fries are terrible.
I like that it's relatively cheap, but the fries are bad.
Say you arent really from LA without saying you arent really from LA. Where you gonna go thats better thats as cheap... Dinos? Nasty ass Tommys? Ur crusty ass probably gonna say Jims
Imagine white knighting friggin' In-N-Out of all places, with all the far better "cheap" food options available out here. For instance, Tommy's - seeing it's been around here longer than In-N-Out lol.
Tommys is strictly intended to feed the morbidly obese. Im not out here defending tommys because thats dog food. However, there must be a reason theres a line for 2 hours during covid lockdowns at in n out and not at Tommys.
Why someone would wait in line 2 hours for a middling burger is beyond me.
Maybe because people like it? Maybe cuz its pretty good?
Where did I say nobody likes it? Or that it isn’t any good? Or that someone shouldn’t wait that long if they actually dig it that much?
I was born here in 1970, genius. 😂 Back when the Valley was 213 area code. Did you even know that it used to be 213 and wasn't always 818? JFC, some people. In & Out sucks, you spend more in gas waiting in their fucking lines than you save by eating their shitty ass fries and weak burgers. You're acting like I slapped your mother.
