In n Out is king of the fast food industry.

I used to say it was overrated but it’s not for all the things you mentioned

In-N-Out may make a good burger, but they're not even on the list of top chains

Largest and best have little correlation

johnnybyu

There is some correlation. If 80-90% of the country can't access it, is it king?

MarylandFan

Well King in the locations they are at. If there is not one close sure not king

That is by design and one of the main reasons why they are so good

what's this now?

reagan21

Nov 19, 7:46pm

sorry, i confuse 5 guys and in'n'out... the food at both places is identical

HouseDeeking

maybe not the burgers, but the fries are clones of each other

Too bad I think their food is just mediocre.

I used to not like their fries but now that we go there regularly over the other

Great point. Both have set amazing standards.

Chefcurry

Bingo. In-N-Out: Double-double w/ Neapolitan Shake. Chick-Fil-A: Spicy Chicken w/ a frosted strawberry lemonade.

Need more robots and fewer people. Close down the dining areas. Focus on food quality and efficiency. 2-3 ppl to run it

That’s what McDonald’s is doing and it’s getting worse. In n out is not using

Chefcurry

In and out is a good burger and terrible fries. But maybe thats a good thing
