In-n-Out Reviews?
With In-n-Out now open in Frisco and Allen, and more locations coming soon, I am interested to hear if Texans that have tried it feel it lives up to the hype?

I've had I-N-O in L.A. and it's decent - about like Whataburger or Sonic. Definitely not worth an overnight camp out. Jake's/Keller's/Burger House are all better, IMO.

We tried one in Vegas a few years back...it was OK. I'll take a Chapp's burger over them any day!
Did you see the moron crying at the counter?
M3 is always the answer.
I agree in the similarity to a sonic burger (although I would place In-N-Out a little higher on the list. I found my one Whataburger to be horrible. IIRC, I ate less than 1/4 of it and threw the rest out.
I had a 5 Guys burger in the DC Airport last month and that was even closer (and slightly better) to In-n-out.
I love Whataburger, so I'm guessign you got a lame one. INO is not bad, and their special versions (4x4) are great for a hangover. I think DQ burgers are superior to all of these, depending on the location. Best burger in town for my $ is Adair's Saloon in Deep Ellum, but I was almost always drunk when eating them, so I could have a skewed recollection.

I've had an Adair's burger and it was awesome, but I was awesomely drunk too...
That was a good burger, but waaay overpriced IMO. But I have to say their fries were like crack...

The burger I disliked and tossed was actually my second Whataburger purchase, as the first went in to the garbage after I discovered they covered it in Mustard after I said NO MUSTARD. Some day I expect I will find myself in a Whataburger with a group and will give it another try, but I won't go into one by choice again.
I too am a fan of a DQ Burger, but specifically just the Jalitos Ranch Burger. If I go to DQ, it is because I am craving Jalitos... much like I only go to Carl's Jr when I am craving one of their Wester bacon cheeseburgers.
It probably isn't fair to compare a restaurant burger to a fast food burger.
Every time I go to DQ, I'm inexorably drawn to the steak finger basket.

I do not think anyone has ever eaten a burger at Adairs while sober.Good burgers, though... I think.
I have eaten a few In-n-Out burgers and they are good, but good burgers are all over the place. There are several in this thread that are as good or better, plus many others not mentioned. I would eat another In-n-Out, but I am not going to wait in a long line for it.
It's like getting excited about a new chicken fried steak or BBQ. Good ones are all over this area.
In-N-Out is ok. I wouldn't go out of my way for one. My favorite drive through burgers are still Burger Street.
I am the Cookie Monster, not the macaroni monster.
I had my first In-n-Out experience (rimshot) a few months ago in Anaheim. I set realistic expectations despite all the hype, and still thought it was quite good. But there are plenty of good burgers out there, and even the best I've had wasn't worth an hour-long wait, much less 4+. I've also learned not to expect 100% consistency from even the best.
Side note: I once heard that suburban in-town Whataburgers are so-so, and you need to be in small-town TX to get a good one. My experience suggests this may be true. (See "consistency", above.)
Growing up in Northern California, we didn't have much in the way of good FF burgers. When In-n-out came, it lived up to the hype because there was nothing like it. I could see how it is not as big of a thing to arrive here, as north Texas already has a lot of good choices.
Titus....this is TX...we eat mustard on our burgers...
