In-N-Out was 9.20 for a combo.

five guys costs more than that.

in-n-out only costs me 7.05 after tax for a double-double combo where i live.
five guys charges 6.99 before tax, for a single cheeseburger, another 1.69 if you want a second patty. I haven't even gotten to a drink and fries yet.

 

[injurai]

five guys hate is such a wasted expenditure

i'll continue enjoying the hell out of it

 

[Jest Chillin]

Also, I don't know if it's just me.. but every time I have a Five Guys burger, I can't help but to think it would be better if they offered a chili topping. Like it would be better as a chili burger or something.

 

[AkuMifune]

I got a double double animal style and fries animal style at the In-N-Out in Austin, TX. it didn't live up to the hype for me.

I'd rather have whataburger or five guys.

I can almost walk to that one if I wanted. Went there once, it was alright. I think it's better than Whataburger, but not as good as Five Guys. About the same as P Terry's.

Top Burger still wins. Put some chili on it and leave me alone.

 

[Amentallica]

Borgata right? Yeah it's not the same. I live in LA for 4 years and I was really missing it. So my wife and I headed down to AC a few years ago and saw Fatburger in Borgata, I got so excited. But it just wasn't the same It was good, but not like it is in Cali.

Yup, the one in Borgata. Ah, well, I guess it's good then that I should be trying the one here in midtown instead. Did it originate on the west coast?

 

[J-Rod]

In-n-out burger patties are so thin they are more like the leftover burnt shit you clean/scrape off your grill after cooking a real burger.

 

[andycapps]

Shake Shack is so much better.

Who knew a mushroom burger could be so unhealthy?

Shake Shack is great, they just need more locations. And yes, better than In N Out and Five Guys.

 

[StopMakingSense]

In-N-Out was 9.20 for a combo.

Wait, what? Are they way expensive in Austin?

Unless you're going for like a 5x5, there is no 9.20 combo. The double double combo is like 5.50.

edit: oh, animal style fries.

 

[burgervan]

I've only eaten at In-N-Out twice, but I thought it was horrible. Even Macdonald's would be preferable.

 

[partime]

I need to try this Five guys nd put the debate to rest for myself at least. I personally love In-N-Out.

If you love In-N-Out, you'll hate Five Guys, it really does sucks, even the free peanuts, who wants peanuts with burgers anyway?

 

[Pryce]

Five Guys is trash.

 

[BajiBoxer]

Five guys is the only one of these places I've ever seen. I like five guys except the bun. It's about the quality of the super cheap buns you get at the supermarket. Haven't had one in a few years though, so maybe the quality has changed.

Best burger I've ever had was from a concession stand during a martial arts tournament about 10 or 11 years ago in Texas. It was talked about for years among myself and the few other competitors I knew who tried it for lunch, but we were never able to find a duplicate. As a side note, we all won gold in our respective divisions that day.

 

[Kibbles]

five guys is shit

This. Especially their soggy ass fries.


Being in Wisconsin and not traveling far, I've never had In-n-out sadly

 

[Feep]

This is science, people.

 

[Massive Duck. C.M.]

When In n Out burger has a jam dedicated to it, then we'll talk.

 

[gcubed]

Meh I think the burgers are a small step up from McDonalds ... The fries are pure unadulterated shit

 

[Soybean]

I'm with the OP. It was fine, but nothing near the hype. I too would prefer Five Guys. I'm willing to give it another try, though. People sure love it.

My favorite chain burger is Shake Shack, though.

 

[LAUGHTREY]

Animal style fries ruin it for me.

Its too rich. Regular everything is good.

 

[xsarien]

It's not you. In-N-Out is ridiculously over-hyped. It's merely "OK."

 

[Clydefrog]

yes, In N Out fries are pretty much unedible unless you cover them in sauce. Their burgers are great though!

 

[Anton Sugar]

In-N-Out was 9.20 for a combo.

I'm TELLING you fools: P. Terry's.

Double cheeseburger combo? $6.25.

That's six dollars and a single quarter in fucking United States Dollars for a burger that's better than Five Guys, Whataburger, or In-n-Out.

 

[titiklabingapat]

The thing with In N Out is that it's great...for a $3 burger. Five guys burger is what, $5 for a mini?

 

[OrlanisWorks]

Sounds like your In-n-Out is holding out on you.

It was only that much because of the animal style fries he got, otherwise in and out is VERY reasonable.

 

[Typographenia]

In-N-Out's burgers aren't anything to write home about, but their well-done fries are amazing.

 

[Muffdraul]

Hype makes everything seem worse than it actually is when you finally get around to experiencing it for yourself. Even if you end up thinking the thing is awesome. You would have thought it was even more awesome if you came upon it free of hype.

 

[Meesh]

I actually like the burgers at "The Rock" wood fired pizza joint. The "Hurts so good burger" is awesome

 

[weepy]

There's a place in the Valley with an In N Out and Five Guys literally yards away from each other. Imagine the traffic there, lol.

White castle is very reasonable too

 

[okayfrog]

In-N-Out was 9.20 for a combo.

Yeah, 'cause you got animal style fries.

Five Guys burger + fries + drink: $10
In-N-Out burger + fries + drink: $7

That being said, I like both places. I like both the seemingly clean In-N-Out and the greasy cafeteria-like Five Guys.

 

[Dega]

Smart man.

 

[Hip Hop]

I think In-N-Out is overrated. Their prices are okay if you ain't doing combos as you can get two or even three burgers, but that is about it.

I'd rather go eat at Jack-In-The-Box, and that is my least favorite hamburger place.

Yeah, I know that is In-N-Out serves the food much "fresher", but the taste doesn't do it for me every time I go.

 

[Fjordson]

In-N-Out is top notch. Must be a bad location.

 

[Feep]

See my video above. It's in Northridge, and it's the only place to hold such an accurate test.

 

[J-Rod]

I think back yard burger is the best cheap drive through burger, although like Burger King, it sometimes ends up tasting like propane.

 

[Goro Majima]

Whataburger is amazing so it makes sense that it seems overrated.

 

[LOLDSFAN]

This thread comes up every 2 weeks, surely there is room for a In-n-out vs five guys thread in Community.

Yeah I don't visit OT that much, but yeah I always see some type of burger thread come up frequently.

Anyways I prefer In-N-Out over 5 Guys.

Never heard of it.

Cook Out is a surprisingly good burger. Also, the fact that you can get a shake any combination of flavors you want it, a burger, and 2 sides for $5-6 bucks is just incredible. Plus, hush puppies.

 

[Bulbo Urethral Baggins]

For those who have tried Smashburger, how does it compare?

 

[Carlisle]

Double-double animal style with animal style fries is the best In-N-Out can do. Five Guys is still better, sorry west coast.

 

[Hartt951]

I have a Five Guys and an In-n-Out near me so I've tried both. To me In-n-Out has the best burgers and Five Guys has the best fries.

I'd agree with this.

Five Guys' cajun fries are absolutely delicious.

 

[DarkFlow]

As some that has both a 5 guys and a In N Out with in 5 mins of my house... In N Out beats down 5 guys any day of the week.

 

[okayfrog]

Meh. Pricey and forgettable.

buddy you just made an enemy!

 

[augmental]

Ever had Winstead's? We have a local place here called the Green Room that is really good too. They have Irish Cheddar and interesting buns / toppings.

 

[Dega]

buddy you just made an enemy!

So did you!

 

[Anton Sugar]

Never heard of it.

Austin-only, sorry, forgot to mention that.

 

[nel e nel]

Fatburger > In-N-Out. Why the fuck is Fatburger never ever mentioned in these threads? Five Guys, Shake Shack, In-N-Out none of them touch Fatburger.

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

Five Guys is mediocre at best...

Five Guys is not very good at all.

 

[Freaky Fred]

Every single fast food thread turns into this same debate.

The reason nobody can agree on which fast food place is the best is because they're all equally disgusting.
