I love the business model...they are great to customers and employees...managers make on average $150,000 per year...but the burgers are shit...nothing special about them in any way...the "Secret" menu which everyone knows about is stupid and the lines around the building pouring out on to the street...or parking lot...blocking traffic are ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!! Thoughts?

Little bit of a cult following. I don't think they are bad, but they are certainly not worth waiting in those crazy lines for. Used to do some work for them and they treat their vendors very well.

Give me a Habit Charburger anytime...

The venom for In-N-Out is so interesting. All they do is make burgers and make money and people are constantly compelled to call them out. If you don't like, it don't go there, I doubt it's going to effect their bottom line much.

I guess their popularity drives people nuts, you never see a Burger King call out blog. In-N-Out is like the Trump of burgers I guess, you either love or hate but you gotta make sure everyone knows where you stand.

There is an In-N-Out about a mile from me, I drive past it going to a mom and pop Korean burger joint about two miles from me. I stop at In-N-Out a couple of times a year but haven't been this year. Maybe the long lines have something to do with it and I don't care for their fries but the burger is ok.

Fast food isn't fast when the lines are that long. It is a business that is working. Somebody has to hate them.

I would rather eat In N Out over any other burger place. Prices are very reasonable and the food is freshly made and tastes like real food.

I think its a fairly dependable burger for dine in. you get it hot and it tastes a lot better that way. have not had to wait more than 10-15 mins.

that being said think its a totally different experience when using the drive through and eating at home. their burger and fries are a lot worse when it gets cold. flavors get muted and texture of fries and cheese quite soggy and unappetizing. I think a lot of ppl just dont care about serving temperature and food texture.

Lots of food does not 'travel' well. As stated, food temperature and condensation (causes the sogginess) can make even the best food terrible.

I think many restaurants learned some valuable lessons during the pandemic on which of their food items really work as 'to go'.

Best thing about their business model - they can't force you to buy.

Take advantage of that key feature and all will be well.

My own guilty pleasure is the Jack in the Box Sourdough Burger.

I know it's not good for me, but I just love it.

Having minorities, especially black people working at a joint like In-N-Out Burger flipping burgers, serving me, and picking up my garbage, makes me feel like a racist. I am glad they choose not to work at In-N-Out and tend to gravitate to McDonalds and the unemployment line.

When I get the In-and-Out urger...oh wait, that's HX!

Cheeseburger with grilled onions, extra crispy fries, half a cup of ketchup. Def an 8/10 but not the best burger to be found.

Walk in for a shorter, less-aggravating wait.

I am not hating on In n Out...the company is great and it treats the employees well...I am just saying I do not get the lines around the building for such a mediocre product...and for the record...I never use the drive thru...I think it's lazy!!!!!!!!!!

Back in the day on the way to the River the In/Out in Corona was a mandatory stop. Pull the pickups and boats into the parking lot and eat right there...We tried taking the food with us but as previously stated it did not travel well,

I agree that they don’t travel well but what fast food does. The food is better than most burgers but the long lines and limited parking usually keep me away. Shake shack burgers are my current favorites.

In and Out employees can actually 'make change' when you pay cash. I get so aggravated that people don't have a clue about taking money and making change. I don't necessarily want to have every purchase on a credit or debit card. Small things are nice for cash. But I just want to explode when my total is something like 10.26 and I give them a $20, a quarter and a penny and they want to give me back the quarter and penny, saying the $20 will cover the total....LOL.

Burgers are bland. Ordinary. Boring.
Lettuce wet, not crunchy. Tomato, no taste
No bacon, no avocado... Nothing to add.

Give me a Western Bacon Cheeseburger. A Sourdough Jack with secret sauce.
A Tommy's chili cheeseburger. Even a Big Mac!

Some in-n-out's have softer fries, fluffy inside, instead of overcooked dry fries.
