Dude it was! Same with that sushi restaurant on the other side of the Fred Meyers from the Burgerville (I think it became the Hooters?). My friend took me there for my first sushi and just... bought me a big ass bowl of sashimi and made me eat the entire thing. I was definitely squeamish at first. Glad I was able to broaden my culinary horizons
Marine Polis/sushiland? We were addicted to that spot. Yep. I remember Swagat was what brought me into Indian food too. No one else would go with me though back then.
It's been too long since I've had either. So without a side by side taste test I wouldn't be able to provide an opinion.
It's also more expensive across the board and not fast food. Shake Shack is more in line with 5 Guys than In N Out. Part of the reason I think people hate InNOut is that it's been hyped up too much and people think they are getting a gourmet burger, when in fact it's just a fast food burger, even if it's a really good one at that.
GREAT grease joint and love their burgers! In my younger days it was walk 18 holes at Colwood or Broadmor and then go to Roakes for the Nordius Maximus! Now I'll settle for the Farmer John or Little John but still worth the trek, just remember they are cash only!
No, In-N-Out is just not good (at least in Oregon) . Every other fast food chain is better. Except possibly A&W. But literally every other place is better. And they all have shorter lines... It's hilarious.
Maybe I'll try the burgers again. I tried once and wasn't impressed and just defaulted to chili dogs after that.
I really enjoyed my time living and working in Milwaukie/Oak Grove. Is Tebo's still around? Their seasonal fresh (local) strawberry shortcake was off the charts! Oh, and how many of you are old enough to remember super nacho's @ Megellan's, or even The Bomber?
