In-N-Out Burger vs. Whataburger: Who reigns supreme?

reesdoyle, anonymous:

Whataburger's beef is also fresh, never frozen (and they are open 24/7). Extra points?? I think so!

See the 3rd paragrah in their recent press release: http://eater.com/archives/2011/05/12/...

Allan, anonymous:

Five Guys.

SitizenKane, anonymous:

Come on TG; there is no settling this question...why even rattle our cages with such an attempt?

adamsontelevision, anonymous:

I've been eating Whataburgers for at least 25 years and have never recieved one that looks as bad as the one in your picture. Whataburger will reign supreme. In n Out tastes like a truck stop burger. Their fries need Viagra.

adamsontelevision, anonymous:

BTW, you should fix your article on the frozen patty business. Sounds like you're slandering Whataburger's product if it is also fresh.

jjerrier, anonymous:

The sheer amount of teenage douchery (customers, not staff) that pervade the Texas In-N-Outs give it minus 20 points.

adamsontelevision, anonymous:

I've refreshed a few times and don't see anything that changes my original impression. "fresh is supposed to be better than frozen, and so In-N-Out gets the point" goes beyond implying Whataburger uses frozen meat, it all but states it outright.

Sorry, you set up the rules of your little competition here, I'm just playing by them. Call the meat a draw, Whataburger wins 3-2.

dbunn, anonymous:

When I lived in California, I missed Whataburger. When I moved back I missed in and out. Now that both are in the same city, I will choose whataburger first but won't turn down an opportunity to get an in and out. But than again if I am near SMU, It's Jacks burger house all the way!

tracy1228, anonymous:

A point for Whataburger's Texas Toast option? It's a goodie!

afterberth, anonymous:

Five Guys is WAY better than either of these. You can't beat fresh cut fries and fresh beef.

joekantx, anonymous:

your talking about apples and oranges.

What a burger is bigger, but more expensive.

in n out is not quite as good but you can a get a whole lot of them for allot less $

It just depends on what your after.

Five guys is better than both.

runDMC, anonymous:

TG - in sports they would call you a "homer", a biased referee. In a million years Whathebooger could never be as good as an In-N-Out. The quality and freshness of the ingredients, the taste, the options and the service make In-N-Out the hands down winner. Why is it that Texans are always threatened when something better comes to town. They always rush to defend the indefensible. Sonny Bryan's is terrible bbq. El Fenix does not serve mexican food. Tom Landry deserved to be fired. Get over it. It's big world out there.

taguirre08, anonymous:

I have had both burgers, In-N-Out in L.A. and of course Whataburger all over Texas. Hands down Whataburger takes it. In-N-Out tasted drab and had no excitement to it. They claimed quality and freshness but the lettuce was really bland and the tomatoes they used were something to be desired. Plus Whataburger allows you to have it anyway you want it and with those fries and supersized = No Contest.

rnathanwhite, anonymous:

For me, I prefer In-N-Out. I do like Whataburger, but I can't tell you how many times they've screwed up my order, and there's almost always a little piece of gristle in the patties I get. Whataburger is great due to 24/7, always good after a late night of drinking.But you can't beat the animal-style fries at In-N-Out. I think it's just a matter of what I'm in the mood for. I'm ready for In-N-Out in Dallas and not having to drive out north.

butmenot, anonymous:

I think 5 guys is infinitely better than both In-N-Out and Whataburger. In-N-Out does have typically better service than Whataburger but Whataburger has a few more things on their menu, which isn't a bad thing.

5 Guys WINS!

sherrivargas63, anonymous:

The 5 guys comments - they may be better, but they are way more expensive. I'm a Whataburger lover all the way. I had In N Out in San Jose the first of this year for the first time and just didn't understand the fuss. I will try it again, but right now.. Whataburger all the way.

Montemalone, anonymous:

Bible verses on the wrapper?

Another place I won't have to worry about patronizing.

Keep your religious b.s. out of my face.

jtiffany, anonymous:

Five Guys costs double what the In-N-Out burger charges for the same type burger and fries. They also waste tons of potatoes by over-serving them to their customers. They all have a place, but the first bite of In-N-Out is heaven!!

lalaalss, anonymous:

Whataburger All the way!! And I was born in California!!!

dh6301, anonymous:

I ate at In-Out Burger in Cali before and saw a line the other in the Allen location. That is nuts! There are so many burger place much better.

Country Burger, Burger Island (Richardson Location), and Five Guy much better.

But if just In-Out vs Whataburger... In Out meat taste better.

cablegose, anonymous:

Maple and Motor for a great burger! Whataburger for the best of the fast food wars. In and Out = meh. Five Guys= way over rated.

kennj143, anonymous:

Try GRIFFS in Ft. Worth or Haltom City. Puts both to SHAME

WeldingSuplyGuy, anonymous:

Whataburger all that needs to be said

ianmcgaughey, anonymous:

Whataburger's choices, quality of fries, Their Fresh never-frozen patties take less time from slaughterhouse to your face than in & out(do the research!), they have their own ketchup to match their food, and there is no elitism for those who frequent their establishment by hiding opritions on their menu, that seems to satisfy all the cali-kids, but I think ultra elitism is a california specialty. In & out I think is better compared to McDonalds, because when you compare In & Out double meat cheese fries and drink, it destroys the manufactured Big Mac combp, hands down. Plus WHATABURGER IS 24 HOURS WITH BREAKFAST. In & Out doesnt have the balls to run a 24 hour show. It takes a hell of a manager to run a second shift(16 hours) when the overnight mgr. is sick. Whataburger all day everyday in this debate!

Personally, Mooyah takes the cake, then Five guys, but those are both fast-casual, not fast food.

yomama128, anonymous:

Anyone else see the resemblance of the IN-n-Out burger to a Goff's hamburger?

jaydp2007, anonymous:

A point for bible verses? Please, I don't need some business shoving their religious views down my throat. Keep it in Church

paladin_svcs, anonymous:

My wife is from Texas and she said, "Wait until you taste Whataburger." My son went to school in California and he said, "Wait until you taste In & Out burgers." I'll give a point to In & Out because The Big Lebowski and friends eat there, but personally, I think they both taste like shoe leather. The only decent burgers are made in Fuddruckers, which no one seemed to mention.

arcangels1992, anonymous:

The last time I ate a Whataburger (never again), I made the mistake of stopping and looking at it half way through. The meat was gray! Freakin' disgusting. Worst burger around and I am from Texas.

brandonhorton, anonymous:

Born and raised in Texas. I had my first taste of In N Out and I will never touch Whataburger ever again! My Texas pride runs deep but we failed in the fast food burger dept compared to In N Out.

JohnDoe6882, anonymous:

Didn't the Mavericks settle this debate last week?

kg_wc310, anonymous:

Whataburger is terrible!!! If you notice, the only time it is busy is late at night when all the drunks are out looking for food. Hence the term "Drunk Food"!! There's a reason IN-N-Out is so successful everywhere it goes and Whataburger is stuck in this craphole of a place you call Texas. IN-N-Out, Five Guys, and Mooyah are all quality burgers with fresh cut potatoes for french fries. Quality over crap any day!!

JohnDoe6882, anonymous:

IN-N-OUT = HYPE, nothing more nothing less

The only reason it might be better in Texas is that you don't have to put up with the rude Cali customer service.

ianmcgaughey, anonymous:

Maybe bacon is a Texas thing, or unhealthy...whatever. It is delicious and we all know it. So why does In-N-Out burger not offer it? Whataburger's sure is tasty, they make my sandwich just like I like it...with BACON!!! In-N-Out should lose a point for not even offering bacon! And their fries taste just like ptotato stix in a can. The bun is good, but not whole wheat! Their patty has pink the other day so mad kudos to medium. But put 'animal style' on the menu and stop pretending you are so cool, cuz here in Texas we don't but it! But we have the audacity to be in your face here in Texas...

cablegose, anonymous:

coolrosco1, anonymous:

I've NEVER seen a like at Whataburger, they are good, but In -N- Out is GREAT and I always look forward to them when I go to California or Vegas and they ALWAYS have lines and lots of business. INO is just better and its clear by their business and their burgers are better. Who wears Whataburger shirts? No one. In N Out? Lots of them everywhere!!!

jbpcdm, anonymous:

The first Whataburger I had was so HUGE I couldn't finish it. That was over 40 yrs ago. The Whataburgers today are like what we used to call a Jr. burger. Not WHATaburger now, more like WHERE did WHATaburger go and we could watch our burger being cooked. Haven't tried I & O yet. I don't live anywhere near where they are located.

                                                                              Betty S.

Amanda RC, anonymous:

It's all about In-N-Out. And even California, I have never have experience rude customer service. Honestly since moving to Texas from California, I have probably experienced more rude people here than back there.

mmccune7, anonymous:

I have had both, although I've only had In-N-Out once, several years ago in California. What's the big deal? I was not overly impressed one way or the other. As long as people are crazy enough to wait in line for more than 5 minutes, I won't bother trying another one. I actually made an intentional effort to go for a WHAT-A-BURGER the day "the other guy" opened.

Texas through and through -- even when it comes to my hamburger!

lessowell, anonymous:

Al's Hamburgers in Arlington is my favorite, but it is not a chain so I guess those guys don't count. Al has been making burgers there since 1957! His fries and burgers are great. And he still has the same grill that he started with. Talk about a seasoned grill!

jenninapa, anonymous:

I don't think Whataburger's burgers are frozen. And i think they taste great. I-n-O is good, but just like a cut above other fastfood. Whataburger is as good as what you get in a sit-down restaurant most of the time. And they come around and bring you more napkins and refll your cokes...excellent. Many, many points to Whataburger!

gigigray, anonymous:

Burger Island in Richardson on Arapaho has great food, but the bathroom air freshner is so strong that you can smell it when you are eating... NOT SO GOOD

gigigray, anonymous:

I told my sister that I was never going back to Burger King again... the next day I heard that their business had dropped off 30%... Gee.... I didnt think it would cause such a drop in sales.... HaHa

gordon_d_kane, anonymous:

I just love burgers. Loved Griff's when I grew up in Ft Worth, loved Quarter Pounders and Big Macs in the 70's. Then Kincaids on Camp Bowie in my high school days. And What-A-Burger has been hitting the spot for the past few decades. Within the past 5 years, I've had Five Guys on the East Coast, MooYah locally, SmashBurger when they started growing in the the area, Purdy's before they closed, JCs, Fuddruckers, Burger Street, Burger Island, Jake's, Twisted Root --- they are all good. However, I did pass up the chance to give In-N-Out a try when I was in Vegas. And the line was still too long in Allen the other night. Burgers are pretty much burgers - make mine with mustard and bacon, and give me onion rings over fries any day.

CaptKirk, anonymous:

Whataburger all the way!!!

gotcatering2010, anonymous:

tie breaker....I agree Five Guys and I am a CA transplant and love in-n-out.......

bigbobftworth, anonymous:

Whataburger has always used fresh beef and never frozen. Whataburger even used to raise its own herds so that the product met such strict guidelines.

"Jesus fervor-

Both chains are Christian, but Whataburger keeps its love for Jesus on the down-low, while In-N-Out prints actual Bible verses on its packaging. Another point for In-N-Out."

God fer' you, Theresa!!! But personally, as an avowed "Tree huggin', dirt worshipin', Goddess luvin' Pagan Texan... I would rather be singin' "What a friend we have in CHEESES!"

If the "good and righteous" Christian restauranteurs like the I/O folks, and the Whataburger, Chick-fil-a, and Domino's Pizza pushers are such good Christians, why are they hell-bent on sending their fellow Christians "on to Glory" (or wherever it is that Earth-killing, Sewell SUV leasing, North Texas Baptist mega-church commuters go), via the "big" Baylor Cardiac ICU?

Now I'm not your typical granola eatin', Berkinstock wearin' hippy Pagan, but it seems that the last thing true Christian business would be doing is preaching the gospel according to Paula Dean, as sung by the "Hallelujah, Harden My Arteries" chorus.

The next time one of your good Christian fellows "feels the Spirit of the Holy Ghost" just after Jesus (Hernandez) hollers "CLEAR" and triggers up the defibrillator, ask yourself these questions... If your "Lord and Savior" were on Earth (in the flesh) today, (1) would He really be serving up KFC and Pepsi-Cola to his closest buddies at his "Last Supper"; (2) would He really tell his followers to "Honor thy father and thy mother" with a post-Medicare era inflation-plagued healthcare voucher: and lastly... ask yourself... WWJD? (Who Would Jesus Deport?)

hunter5477, anonymous:

who are we kidding? both of these places suck.

cdiman7, anonymous:

Haven't made it to In and Out yet, Whataburger is good at 3 am if you need food, but Fuddrucker's is my favorite place, can almost tour the country with Fuddrucker's except for a few places. Now about this fresh-frozen deal, how the heck do you store the stuff? Industrial freezers are way colder than what we have in our houses, and it their walk in freezer is big enough to hold a month's supply, fresh meat would go bad, so I think it all must be frozen, they're just playing on our ignorance (again).

TheTextTailor, anonymous:

Now you have to realize that on opening day for In n Out, they had to have cooked up patties since the middle of the night and then had to let them simmer in au jus or water or grease or ...whatever.... There was no way they could cook to each order. When the bru-ha-ha dies down and they can get back to truly cooking to order, I will go back again. I believe that they will be the same WONDERFUL In n Out that I have known and loved since 1963...... I'll be back.......

cablegose, anonymous:

Teresa, your sarcasm has won me over...

ljf_57, anonymous:

Whataburger is too expensive for what you get and, is not all that. If I wanted an onion burger I would order an onion burger. They put wayyyy too many onions in their burgers, can't even taste or find the meat since the patties are so thin. In-N-Out all the way oh and, Jack-In-The-Box 99 cent tacos at 3am in the morning after a night of drinking. lol...oh yeah, baby!...I don't care that it isn't real meat, ground up snake, ground up bats, gound up fake crap and bad for you...love their tacos anyway. =0)~~

smssteve, anonymous:

Kinkaids is the best burger in DFW...& Yes...I have had all the contenders.

jaytee817, anonymous:

To all those saying whataburger doesn't have frozen meat, YES IT DOES! I used to work at whataburger. Their meat patties are shipped frozen.

jaytee817, anonymous:

Even though Whataburger does have frozen meat patties, I still love eating there. My favorite combo is this: Whataburger with cheese, mustard, mayo and ketchup, light on the lettuce, grilled jalopenos, grilled onions only!

bsnell1988, anonymous:

yeah i actually had been a team leader there before and the meat comes from sysco frozen off the truck. some boxes are taken to the fridge to thaw and be used that day and others are kept in the freezer for later use.

but I dont think whataburger said or says otherwise. they dont advertise it as never frozen.

only wendys does that.

Im from texas but I lived in vegas for nine months and was lucky enough to of tried in n out. I love them both but if one had to go i would say innout stays.

ozandaxe, anonymous:

The question should be what is your 'favorite' burger, not what is the 'best' burger. It's all subjective. I like both and I wouldn't drive past one to get to the other. Also, I expect that soon we will hear of a lawsuit to remove the Bible verses from In n Out's packaging because non believers find it offensive.

bsnell1988, anonymous:

and I have to agree. kinkaids is the best burger place. they are really fresh and fat.

bobbyth28, anonymous:

The Feed Bag all the way!!!!

carriecrpntr, anonymous:

Whataburger gets my point for NOT printing bible verses on their packaging...that is just obnoxious!

ozandaxe, anonymous:

Then don't patronize In N Out

ozandaxe, anonymous:

For me 'obnoxious' is the hyping of yet another inane Hollywood movie on the side of my drink cup. Like I said, its all subjective.

j2443, anonymous:

Burger House is better than both, and i grew up eating whataburger!

srspofford, anonymous:

Everyone should try a Braum's burger. It's a great Texas burger as much as Whataburger and you can get a butter pecan ice cream shake to go with. You will be surprised how great of a meal you just had. And the fries a crinkle cut which is vintage and awesome.

ozandaxe, anonymous:

Anybody remember Abbey Inn at Skillman and Southwestern (Medallion Center), back in the 70s and 80s? Great burgers and what I believe may have been the worlds first steak fries!!

cbird609, anonymous:

Who cares which is best?!!! The bigger question is this: How awesome is it to live in Allen and literally be five minutes away from Whataburger, Mooyah, Five Guys, Scotty P's,In N Out, Purple Cow, Dairy Queen, etc.? It's like living in the hamburger epicenter!

For all the people arguing for In N Out, let me say this: There's no way in h3ll I'm waiting for over an hour for a hamburger.

janaburrus, anonymous:

I say in-n-out burger with whataburger ketchup and fries with in-n-out animal style added to the fries....or forget that and go to Kellers!

lesfarrington, anonymous:

In and Out prints Bible Verses on thier packaging and so that means they get a POINT for that? i am just wondering how close they come to "money changers in the Temple" by doing so? they arent handing out those burgers for free! i will never ever eat at In and OUT period. i will stay at Whataburger where they keep thier personal religious views to themselves instead of trying to mix CAPITALISM with Christianity..

As a 2-time winner of the "Best Walter" trophy in LA and once in NYC at LebowskiFests, I'll have to go with In 'n Out. Now STFU, Donnie.

verutaus, anonymous:

In-N-Out has fresh patties made and grilled, fresh peeled and cut fries, and fesh baked buns, and fresh cut veggies all within minutes--classic, what's not to like. Plus it's good value for the price. When people gripe about bacon and what-not, they miss the point. In-N-Out is not about the latest trend in burger dressings. It's all about the all American classic burger, fries, and ice cream shake, which is why the chain began as an outpost close to Route 66 in the 1940s. If I wanted variety of toppings I could go to Wendy's, Jack-in-the-Box, Islands, Applebees, or my local mom&pop fast food shack (not that there is anything wrong with these, but none of these offer fresh). Another thing I'd like to point out is that they only use what they have to get creative with their "secret menu" (although I would love me some onion rings). Double-doubles, 4 x 4's, animal style (cheese, sauce, grilled onions) burgers and fries. They could have gone the Whataburger, Wendy's, Jack-in-the-Box way along time ago with variety, but didn't on purpose--I give them 1,000 points for that.

kkwilson0716, anonymous:

I am still a fan of Whataberger. It has been around for years. Keep up the good work Whataberger and you're still #1!

zang2nd, anonymous:

Whataburger rules In-And-Out Burger hands down, but a Sonic "Supersonic" double meat/double cheese with jalapenos and tots rules them both!

To the genius that thinks Texans feel threatened by any outside franchises? Tom Landry has been dead for many years, just like In/Out Burger's phony creepy-Christian appeal...

verutaus, anonymous:

In-N-out is about the basics and freshness and quality over quantity. It's not in the same ballpark as Whataburger (or Wendy's for that matter). Apples to oranges.

shawnccorley, anonymous:

had my 1st in and out in Vegas and it was only an average burger, thought maybe it was due to the location (shipping to an out of the way location etc.) so I had another in Cali and it was the same. I do believe that preference has alot to do with what you grew up eating so I take the choice of people who arent from texas or cali who have had both. So far with about 90% of the vote Whataburger has been the favorite of friends from the north and east coast areas whohave had both.

ee, anonymous:

The only reason people on this dislike In-N-Out (It's not hard to spell it correctly) is, as some others have alluded to, Texas citizens are very prideful and take offense to anything new coming into their "country". I was born in Texas, raised in California, and am back in Texas, and Whataburger does not hold a candle to In-N-Out. EVERYTHING at In-N-Out is organic, made to order and they actually allow the customers to see their food being made with an open kitchen and glass on the drive-thru side. Texas needs to get over themselves, as not everything in Texas is better. And for those that say California has rude service, well that is just ignorant, but plays to the attitude of all Texans. Please, continue to eat Whataburger, In-N-Out will still perform just fine without your business. And for those of you upset about the bible verses, it is for one called FREEDOM of speech, they are a private company, that is owned by 1 family, whom are very religious, do not knock them for their views. Why not get upset at Chick-fil-a for being closed on Sunday's for religious reasons? Plus these bible verses are in areas of the packaging in which you would have to search for, unless you know from prior experience where they are located. And for the idiot that thinks In-N-Out is "mixing Capitalism with Christianity" this is false, because they do in fact take out trucks and go and make food for the homeless and needy ALL the time. So why don't you open your mind, and if not experience it yourself, at least educate yourself on what they stand for before you make false accusations and stand behind a second rate burger joint. You really cannot compare the two, as Whataburger is a bonafide fast food restaurant, where In-N-Out is not. In-N-Out spends time on the food they put out and focus on quality. Before I leave you, I pose one question, who can In-N-Out be critically acclaimed across the country for the product they put out when prior to this year they were only in 4 states? But Whataburger is better right? You Texas loyalists are a joke and it's no wonder why people in every other state dislike you.

oh yeah, i'll take griff's as well in haltom city...and the clown burger....now if we could only get dairy queen back...

zang2nd, anonymous:

Fort Worth's "Kincaid's" all the way! Screw In-N-Out, which I believe is still slang for "sex"...? Or does it merely suggest how fast their food goes through you? They should call it "Sh*t-Through-A-Goose Burger" instead.

gcovington_75048_2000, anonymous:

Well I went to the In-N-Out Burger place the other day the lines sucked so I my wife and daughter and i went to a burger joint about a block away called Mooyahh Burger, We walked in and saw Idaho potato boxes on the floor found it funny. Anyway we ordered a large fry and some burgers which you can have made anyway you want. The menu said the large fries feeds 3 to 4 I didn't believe it till I got it. I was knocked off my feet. It actually feeds up to 6 people and they were the best fries I have had at a restaurant in a long time. Glad I didn't waste my time waiting in line for a burger at In-N-Out. Anyway we talked to alot of people that had gone to In-N-Out Burger and said it taste kind of like WhataBurger but not as good. Anyway I am glad I found Mooyaah Burger, they rock. Anyway to be fair I did go to In-N-Out and I like to try new places and don't favor one place to another. Every place has something nice to offer. Anyway I have to say whataburger kicks In-N-Out out of the park. But I do like the biblical references on the package's. And for all you idiots that get mad because you have some STUPID idea someone is pushing religion on you. GET OVER IT!! Everyone has the right to there believes. Just like you have the right to think you came from a stupid monkey even though not ONE scientist on earth for some astonishing reason can't seem too find a missing link too actually proof that hypothisis. Anyway the point is thats what makes America great, because we are entitled to our beliefs and can open up a business and make it unique like putting bibical phrases on there packages. God bless America!! Impeach Obama!!!

terryeheatley, anonymous:

Hasn't anyone been to a Love Shack? It's my new favorite. My first burger was at the Pig Stand on 7th St in FW. It was wondeful and since that time burgers are my favorite food. Period. Kincaid's are great, too, and Fudruckers is similar and it's a real plus to be able to dress it myself, but they're a little full of themselves. Five Guys is good but it's too noisy and who wants to suck in exhaust fumes sitting on the patio. A drive-up would help but they're still a little pricey. Snuffers are tasty. Isn't it nice that we have so many to choose from? Now, everyone just go to your favorite place for lunch today and just be glad that everyone isn't at your place trying your choice, in line, in front of you!

Of course, impeach Obama, he's black after all!! Probably isn't even a real US citizen. Gotta be an arab sympathizer with a name like that. And it goes without saying that he's responsible for 2 wars, the deficit, the aging of America, illegal immigration and destroying the entire medical/insurance complex. It's been a whirlwind 18 months. He's a force of nature. We feel threatened don't we? Put on your hood and drink a vanilla milkshake. Feel better? OK, well then, suck your thumb and turn on Fox.

anonymous5892, anonymous:

The very first thing I did when I moved back to Texas from the east coast and being vegetarian for years was go to Whataburger. Worth. Giving. Up. Vegetarianism. The best burgers! Always open, always so many options (fantastic breakfast). In N Out is nice but lame (secret menu? really?), and a bit limited and plain.

In regards to "Jesus Fervor", I think Whataburger should have GOTTEN the point for not being obnoxious and in-your-face about their religion: it's more welcoming that way. And they do NOT use frozen patties. So: Whataburger 4, In N Out 2.

unclemaude, anonymous:

In and Out sucks!!!!! Their food is amazingly overrated! Whataburger is a Texas company! Keep the $ here!

Has anyone tried breakfast at In-N-Out? Oh yeah that's right...advantage Whataburger.

I agree with texasguy4 - Hole in the Wall is the BOMB! And their onion rings are TO DIE FOR!!!

On this actual topic, though, I'm not willing to wait in line to try In and Out - maybe once the fervor dies down, but I'd rather starve than eat Whataburger. Blech.

rooost, anonymous:

You guys bashing Texas have to realize a few things.

1. North Plano, Allen, McKinney are Anytown Stripmall, Chainstore USA. Da that's why they get all the latest fads in chainstores. Not so Texan

2. If either TX or CA has the market cornered on rude people id be suprised, I'd bet that the rudeness one perceives is generally related to the rudeness on emits.

3. If you do think this area your calling TEXAS sucks, then buy your soul back and go find your true passion. But I'll bet you really love your good job, low taxes, big fancy tract house (also a chain)

There is no way in the universe that this is a tie. In-N-Out is the most horrible burger chain ever conceived. I have eaten it ONCE, and once is enough. It is so bad that it made me physically ill. This is just another example of how California (and every other state, for that matter) wants to be Texas.

5 Guys Sucks (especially the Cajun fries, disgusting) and it's way overpriced! Whataburger and In N Out are both fantastic in their own unique way... Neither is better than the other, but both are definitely better than 5 Guys... SmashBurger is also surprisingly delicious but like 5 Guys, more expensive... But unlike 5 Guys, worth the price...

There is a reason whataburger has to offer 200 diff items on the menu. They don't one thing really well. Jack of all trades master of none. In n out offers burgers and fries...period. They are burger masters. Get over it Texas. California has better burger chain and Texas has best NFL franchise, Cowboys. 5 guys is not even in the conversation unless you like feeling like someone poured a bucket of grease on you.
