    I’ve had both, I’d totally eat a bag of Dick’s. :)

    I have yet to have a decent In-N-Out burger. Burned little hockey pucks. 4 different restauaraunts. LA, Sun City, Cupertino, San Francisco. Animal style, not animal style… doesn’t matter.

        Their fries are the best part. Shake Shack is also pretty great. Get a milkshake with your burger and fries, trust me on this.

          Lul you’re right, a bit pricey but they’re good. I very occasionally treat myself to one of these places, I’m trying to eat healthier so it’s mostly home cooked meals for me.

      I’m glad I’m not the only one who doesn’t like in-n-out. I’ve only had it twice but both times were extremely underwhelming; once in Phoenix AZ and once in Vegas. Over cooked burgers and shit fries. I do not understand the hype at all.

      Never had or even heard of dicks. I’m from the Midwest though so I’m assuming it’s another west coast chain.

      That’s a bit surprising, but you can ask for your patty to be “medium rare.” I’ve found Dick’s to be more well-done, and the first time I ate there, the fries were absolutely disgusting. It’s definitely the place to go when it’s 1 AM and you need some burg, but my first stop any time I’m back in CA is In-N-Out.

        It’s always wild for me to read such high opinions of In-N-Out, not to yuck anyone’s yum but I’m from the east coast and was pretty excited to try In-N-Out when I came out west for work about a decade ago. But I don’t get the hype for it at all, fries were alright and burger was acceptable, I’ve tried it again since and felt the same, and Dicks is about the same, nothing to really write home about

        I’m glad you enjoy it, but if your ever in the southeast give Cookout a shot and see how it compares for you

          Dick’s doesn’t pretend to be more than it is, is the difference. No weird religious foundation, no secret menu, just a bag of reasonably priced burgers that you can walk to after midnight.

            I got no beef with Dicks, it’s the closest thing to a spiritual brother to Waffle House as I can find out here

          Cookout is great for milkshakes the burger and fries not really any better than any other fast food place catering to high school/nostalgia and a weird cult.

          The thing about In-N-Out is that they get compared to Five Guys or Shake Shack when you really should be comparing them to McDonald’s. A Double Double is way better than a Big Mac, and it’s still less expensive.
