      20-30 years ago they were awesome. Used to be around the speed and price of five guys but way better. They’ve been on a steady decline for a long time now. All of them near me have been shut down for a while, I’m kind of surprised they’re still around in any significant numbers.

      Fatburger is a California based fast-ish food chain. They are better than McDonalds but also more expensive and slower and not any nicer to eat/order at. Their burgers are configurable with a lot of options, but in the end you end up paying restaurant prices for a burger that isn’t as good and isn’t much faster.

          A) The line. I hate lines. Even though In-N-Out does do a great job of moving the line fast, I still don’t have any desire to sit in my car breathing the exhaust of 50 other cars to get a fast food burger. I’d rather order ahead and go pick it up.

          B) It’s better than McDonalds, but not by much. It’s a hard truth that people will get super offended about, but In-N-Out is just a slightly better McDonalds. People not from CA see the hype about it and are disappointed after trying it, thinking it will be like a Five Guys or Habit or something. It isn’t. It’s truly just a fast food burger done well.

          C) I don’t like the fries from In-N-Out.

            C) agreed the fries are like cardboard.

            But McD has nothing like animal style AFAIK. I am not from Cali and I really look forward to in and out for some reason.

            I never do the drive-thru tho

      Mediocre burger that ends up costing $16 when you get a fry and drink. There are sit down burger restaurants not charging as much, that are much better. TBH a Philly cheesesteak from Jersey Mike’s is better and cheaper.

    There’s a shitty airport I have to travel to once a year, and this place is the only bar in the shitty airport.

    Shit, the shitty airport just got shittier!
