    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. :|

      No matter what praise I’ve seen of In-N-Out the criticism of their fries seems nearly universal.

      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.

        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.
