Rhapakatui Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 It'll probably close down due to health code violations in under 2 years. After the shine wears off a bit, people will go back to eating wherever is closest to work/home, and the business will go to shit. That's what happened to Krispy Kreme in Beaumont. Line down the block for the first 2 weeks. A year later, no business at all. One more year and it was closed. I'd rather just eat GOOD food. Fast food is just that, something fast to shove down my throat and get back to work before my 30 minutes is up. I guess it's just another example of Texas getting homogenized with the rest of the States. Quote Link to comment

oldskoolvws Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Its not that good to me. It is good, but Nations here in California is way better IMO. I have a INO and a Nations, both within a 3-mile radius of my house. The cool thing about INO is the secret menu. Animal style fries and burgers. The really cool one in that you can order a burger with as many patties that you want for $.99 cents each. So theoretically you cold order a 10 or 20 patty burger! Quote Link to comment
PurePontiacKid Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 INO gives me boners Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 I cook my own damn burgers and they're better than all of those joints. Just goes to show, everything IS bigger in Texas! (Including stupidity!) :D Oooo, I 'm gonna get it now from the Texas crowd! :rofl: Quote Link to comment

flatcat19 Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Never eaten at In-N-Out, so I can't say anything. But any of you Colorado guys can pipe up about Good Times. So far, in all my travels, best fast food burgers around. Do want. Do miss. Quote Link to comment
spitznoz Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Archibald burger is so much better than in n out Quote Link to comment
71DIMER Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 We live next to all these burger places and for my money I'd take a Five Guys burger, In-N-Out yellow peppers, and McDobalds fries and I'm good to go! Oh yeah love the Five Guys hit dogs, they're damn good, plus free peanuts while you wait (score)! In-N-Out has too much thousand island dressing type sauce for my taste. Yeah it's a California original and definitely better than regular fast food joints but it's clearly the whole it's new so let's go wait in line, it'll pass trust me. Quote Link to comment
NOTES... Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Ive never seen or heard of 5 Guys Burgers.... :huh: Edit: Just googled it... seems like there is one 5.6 miles away in San Marcos... On my way... :D Quote Link to comment
dennis Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 The line is Frisco was much longer than the one in Allen. I live a couple of miles away from the Frisco location and have tried to eat at it on four occasions. I ate there the first day and waited an hour. I grew up eating in-n-out in the 70's till the late 90's when I left CA. I havent been back to CA since 2003 so when they opened it up my mouth started to water. The line in the Frisco location is almost a three hour wait and it has been open for over two weeks. It broke the hamburger sales for all of in-n-out locations. in Frisco and Plano TX you have a lot of people from CA and they cant get enough. We are also getting a Yoshinoya in about two weeks as well and that was my second favorite place to eat. Quote Link to comment
Rhapakatui Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 Pig stand was the best fast food chain in history. Hands down. The two in Beaumont closed a few years back. First Texas drive through. Inventor of "Texas Toast." Great diner, open 24/7. My grandparents ate there, and I took my first date there. I miss it like crazy. I'd wait in a line for Pig Stand, so I do kinda see where a nastalgic diner might bring back some memories and make people line up. Unfortunately, mine will probably never come back.

Burabuda Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 there was a small chain in socal called "doodleburger" that none of these joints could hold a candle to doodleburger is gone now, and it's because you just can't turn a profit making the best burger Quote Link to comment
pharouh Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 We had a White Castle open here a few months ago,and opening day was packed. People lined up to get in. Now when you go by there,it might have 3 or 4 cars.. They want to say 'Hey I ate there before you did' Stupid... Quote Link to comment
Javin Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 Ok/// so i went to 5 guys burgers.. and well #1.. EXPENSIVE... atleast compared to INO #2.. Fries arent that great... taste burned... #3.. Burger is Good.. INO still better imo.. I got the BAcon Cheeseburger... mmm... delicious I think it all depends on the burger you get. I think that 5Guys burgers are better.. I like their fries better than INO as well. Luckily there is one local to me unlike those INO guys. Quote Link to comment
Wicked Saint Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 This just defeats the purpose of "fast food". If you want he classic drive in feel then hold out for a Sonic. Oh and if you have never gone to In-N-Out but plan to, get your fires "animal style" Only way to have em. Quote Link to comment

I didnt grab any cuz i wasnt sure.. lol Quote Link to comment
Jesse C. Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 The thing about INO is that they still have a simple menu with good eats for little dough. Double Double Animal Style with fries well done and a coke for under 6 bucks. Who else can beat that? Locally, I am still a Jack In the Box kid. I still love that crappy food and especially the ALPO tacos! As for Sonics, still some of the worst food I have ever had! When they opened one out in the east county they had the long line crap for weeks! I guess it took a bit for folks to realize how crappy the stuff really is. Now you can drive up anytime and find a spot. Carl's Jr. was good until they kept adding too much crap to their menu and the food started suffering and those shitty ass commercial just made me stay away from that place. So I guess we all have our own local favorites and until we try them, we will just champion our own stuff. I still want to try a Crown Burger, heard they are monsters! Roscoe's anyone?

john510 Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 I live right down the street from the Sonic in Santee,there was a line there for months.When i finally got to try it i couldnt figure out what all the excitement was about.The only thing i really like are the onion rings.I'll take in & out over the others,a simple menu and it is always the same quality.Any of you san diego guys try Beef&Bun in la mesa ? good stuff there.
