the claim to fame of in-n-out is that the beef is never frozen, potatoes are cut into fries at each location as needed etc. with that being said i thought i would let you know how good these burgers really are! my wife works in a shipping store (a private version of mailboxes etc., ups store et al ) she has customers order burgers and fries to send out to their friends fed-ex next day air. iguess even a day old and cold they are better than what people can buy locally!

We're a bit "chain burger resturant" deprived out here. No Fudruckers (nice one on Rt 22 in NJ); no Red Robin (awful service in Clifton); no In-Out; no Sonic; no White Castle . . .

But, in Lahaina there's the original "Cheeseburger In Paradise"; on the North Shore, Ku Aina Burger; and in Honolulu, Ted's Better Burgers, to satsify that urge for grilled ground beef.

Ok, after reading all of the posts to this thread, my mouth has begun to water like it has never watered before... ((oddly enough im making a burger for dinner) but Im tempted to run to In-n-out and get a double double animal style..... THE BEST fast food burger Ive had.

Also, when i was in Austin Texas this summer, my friend took me to Smithville, a little town maybe 45minutes to an hour or so away from Austin to go to a rib house that he claimed to have THE BEST ribs.....
and i would have to agree!!!!!!

I dont recall the name of the place, buts its in Smithville on the right hand side of the main road into town, after you go over a bridge. If you EVER find yourself here, treat yourself to some Ribs.. you WONT regret it!

Mike,
The tower is still there. Next time I'me heading that way, I'll do a "rib recce" by going through Smithville on Business 71 instead of around.

In and Out Burgers are good not great. A real gourmet burger is on a toasted sourdough roll, with thick sliced smoked bacon, real jack cheese(pepper jack even better), and choice of veggies, with your choice of condiments on the table- A1 Sauce, Tobasco, and maybe some brown deli mustard. The fries at In and Out are soggy and wimpy, yuch! Not cooked untill crispy enough.

Frequent visitor to In-N-Out land, gotta agree they make the best fast food burgers. Sure wish they'd expand operations to the right coast, so that I could enjoy them locally!

That said, I have never, ever, found a better burger joint that the Chuckbox in Tempe, AZ. The "Big Juan" (named for the cook - sheesh, I couldn't make up a name like that if I tried) has set the Burger Gold Standard for me. LOL

Beowulf, you're right, the Chuck Box is/was great! They closed the one in Scottsdale (corner of Scottsdale Rd. and Shea). Have you tried Cocomo Joes (corner of Tatum and Dynamite) Cave Creek? I think they make a great cheeseburger!
