    Last 3 times we went to In N Out in Keizer it has been terrible. My kids hate it, I thought it was worse than McDonald's or Burger King, and my wife won't even consider going.


    We didn't have to wait in any lines either. Just walked in and ordered.

    My eldest went another time iwth friends a couple weeks ago and said it still sucks.

    We had it in Grants Pass a few years ago and it was great. So we were excited to get one closer. No good.

    Strange. Having lived in CA for so long, it was more common and never had a bad experience. Maybe Oregonians are fucking up the food. It’s fresher than McD and BK etc. Carls Jr is better.

    I was visiting down in California awhile back and decided to try In and Out. I was hyped about it because I heard so many good things and that the food there was next level. I found myself underwhelmed. It was good but not anything special.

    Yeah, in Grants Pass it was a completely different experience. Very fresh tasting.

    Red Robin service is fucking trash now. The food tastes worse than it used to, too.

    In n out is so overrated. Chick fil a too. They don't deserve the lines they often get.

    Five guys cajun fries are amazing. The burgers are meh.

    Shake shack burgers are amazing. The fries are meh.

    Wendy's can be great. Just depends on the location. Some suck and some are fantastic.

    Buffalo Wild Wings has decent burgers.

    Killer Burger has good burgers.

    I went to Red Robin like 15 years ago and shocked how bad it was. It was the spot to be in HS, but it was trash.

    I won't wait for In-n-Out usually or Chic-Fil-A.

    Have you been to this chicken tender spot "Raising Canes". Its good AF.

    Buddy's Diner on Coburg Rd in Eugene
    Second choice...the Hilo Cafe in Hilo Hawaii.
    both have the best burgers and fries I've ever had. Both are 50's themed diners that are classic.

    This is the problem though, people have hyped it up to be the best burger ever, it's just a phenomenal fast food burger.

    Cane's is good, especially the sauce but it's kind of like In N Out in they have a limited menu. They basically do tenders and fries, that's it, but they try to perfect what they do.

    What do Wendy's and In N Out have in common .... using fresh never frozen beef! It's why people down here in Texas swear by Whataburger, but it has that frozen beef McD's taste to me. It's not horrible but the taste is recognizable.

    You don't start out that way. You 90% of the time get traditional wings.

    I'm just saying. I've had their burgers too and they are surprisingly good. Better than what Red Robin has trotted out the last couple of times i've been there. They have a cheese curd burger that is quite tasty.
