I love me some Arbys, unfortunately the Arbys near me is in a sketchy location so I really never go. Used to love the roast beef with lettuce and tomatoes and I am a fan of the Beef n' Chedder and Jamoca shakes.
I rarely go because its always crowded. I have 3 In'n'Out's within 5 miles of me too. Back in the day that used to always be the Barstow pit stop on the way to Vegas. Cheeseburger animal style + Animal style fries. Gotta drizzle the Banana peppers juice on em too.
There was supposed to be a Shake Shack going in across the street from Powell's Books on Burnside. Can't believe they would be able to have that additional traffic in that spot though.
Shake shacks don't have a ton of traffic. At least here, no one really cares about it anymore. Is that pizza joint still there?
My favorite part of the denial is they openly admit it had nothing to do with the public's concerns and only about some made up zoning rules. Fuck the people and what you want but what the government has arbitrarily decided must not be messed with!
They probably read the "What's Going on in Portland" thread, ignoring all the posts of some Laker fan and saw what a shithole downtown Portland is now!
Is The Helvetia Tavern still all that for burgers? Oh, and what happened to Calamity Jane's? (COVID?)
Did Helvetia a few years ago on the way to Seaside and it was still delicious! Pretty sure Calamity Janes closed down before COVID, such a shame, there was nothing like one of their burgers after a long day on Mt. Hood!
Beaverton Hillsdale Highway is already a clusterfuck. The absolute LAST thing that area needs is a traffic magnet like an In-N-Out. The county did their due diligence. They did what is best for the entire county (and indirectly) the whole PDX area. That is why zoning laws exist in the first place and why we have commissions to enforce them. Unfortunately, regardless of whatever the public wants, the public isn't always right....or can see the big picture. Personally, if In-N-Out ever tries to move into my community I would literally do everything humanly (and legally) possible to keep them away. Why anyone would push for another guaranteed traffic jam in a metropolitan area that is already one big parking lot is beyond my limited imagination.......
I don't care that it's an In N Out ... more that the arbitrary lines drawn up by governmental agencies mean more to them than the will of the people. Could have even tossed those citizens a bone and said they took their comments into account and it played a part but they went out of the way to say it had nothing to do with what the neighbors wanted.
In N Out is good it’s just people have pumped it up and now people want to say it’s no good. It is good. The lines suck. Five Guys is always good but last time i went the bun was cold or some shit and ruined it. Honestly as far as chains, it might sounds weird but I went to a Cheesecake Factory once near my hotel in Hawaii and that cheeseburger will blow your balls off.
