Cruising89143 Posted June 20, 2007 #176 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Must be the "chili pup" keeping them going. I guess somebody like the burgers since this place hs been around forever.

FlyingPhotog Posted June 20, 2007 #177 Share Posted June 20, 2007 The BEST (fast food) burgers east of Arizona are at a place called WHATABURGER! Southerners holla if you hear me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joyceyw Posted June 20, 2007 #178 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Nope to Whataburger. No comparison to In N Out Nope to Bakers, again, no comparison to In N Out Fritz - You are so right about why In N Out is so successful. There's 2 within 5/10 minutes from my job, the one out by the airport and the new on on Century in Inglewood. Guess I know where I'm going for lunch today with all this talk and pictures.

mcfaddensfarm Posted June 20, 2007 #180 Share Posted June 20, 2007 I was wondering if anyone mentioned the bumper stickers that I remember when I lived in LA. The original bumper sticker said "In-N-Out Burger". But some were known to modify it when it was on their car, so that it read "In-N-Out urge" :D I grew up in Long Beach (Southern CA) and have lived in Idaho for 11 years now. I MISS IN-N-OUT BURGER!!!:( DisneyBlonde, LOL! I remember those bumper stickers! You'd always see those on the cars in the high school parking lots. This past January my husband & I went on a Monarch cruise (with FitzLA--Hi Tim!:D ) My husband begged Tim to take us to Tommy Burger, so even though I was dying for an In-N-Out burger, I obliged and he won out. I think Tommy's comes in a close second to In-N-Out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cigal Posted June 20, 2007 #181 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Thanks for the pictures AZMGL - now I am really having In-N-Out withdrawals!!! Good thing I'm going to LA next weekend or I might have to make a road trip:D DisneyBlonde - I remember those bumper stickers. I think they are why my parents never let us eat there (my parents were easily scandalized about certain things). We all thought it was hilarious after we figured out what it meant:rolleyes: (with no help from the parents of course). For those who have not seen them, the bumper stickers were red with white letters so it was easy to fill in the "B" and the "R" in BURGER with red marker, leaving URGE white. They stopped making that type of bumper sticker. Wonder why?? Maybe my parents wrote a letter....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travel_lover Posted June 20, 2007 #182 Share Posted June 20, 2007 I just got back from my first trip ever to California and Las Vegas...also it was my first time at IN-N-OUT, amazing. So much better than JR. JRs shakes are great but I don't like the fries. I love how IN-N-OUT makes theirs from scratch, man I would never leave the ship if they traded it for JR!

Arizona Laura Posted June 20, 2007 #184 Share Posted June 20, 2007 In-N-Out BURGER REVIEW JUNE 20TH..JUST BACK Stayed up too late last night on the CC boards..till midnight. I am off work today but got up at 4:45 am with DH who had to work . I started out pretty sluggish this morning. Left for follow up doctor appt at 0902am. Appt at 0920. Arrived at dr office at 0918. Dr saw me, we spoke about how warm it is going to be in Phx this weekend and I left at 0950 am. Drove to Macy's to take back a purse arrived at 1000 and left at 1025 am. Drove to Chevron to get a Pepsi (In-N-Out Burger has Coke)(no flaming please). Walked up to the counter and the young man asked me if that was all I was going to get and I said "Yes". He then said "Have a nice day" and gave me my drink free. What a kind gesture. No name tag and sorry I forgot to get his name. Arrival at In-N-Out Burger: Drove to the Drive Thru and ordered a Double Double with onions and Fries (well done as suggested here). The bill came to $4.37 cents. Now I usually order a regular cheeseburger but after all this talk and pictures I decided to get the Double Double. Now I usually do not eat in my car but I decided to today since I was alone. Catlyn was my server. Very sweet looking and just as nice speaking to me. Asked me if I wanted ketchup and of course I accepted (never used though). They have a timer on the wall and I was 2:15. I drove to the parking lot where there were other stores but no one was parked near me. I started to eat my Double Double. Now I have to admit I had a hard time eating it. It was very large and kept dripping sauce all over the handy cardboard box they give you. OK so I am sitting there minding my own business and all of a sudden 3 motorcycle Chandler police officers come racing toward me and pull in the space next to me and start getting off their bikes. I am thinking to myself "What the hell? I am just sitting here eating my Double Double and well done fries what is so wrong with that?" I wiped my face off real fast and looked at them and they smiled at me and walked off. My appetite after that scare was not as big and I could not eat very many fries but they definately were better WELL DONE. As I was cleaning up I thought to myself I am glad I don't eat in my car very often..just too messy. I am really too full now and understand that I am better off with my regular cheeseburger. A Double Double was just too much. Overall I definately would recommend In-N-Out Burger to anyone. I would suggest eating inside though. Any questions please feel free to ask.

Arizona Laura Posted June 20, 2007 #187 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Hear there is one in Chandler, AZ......Great.....we'll be in Gilbert the first week of August and be able to ck out the In-n-Out burgers.....look forward to it......... There is one on Stapley Blvd south of the 60 freeway which may be closer depending on what part of Gilbert you will be in. The one closest to me was on Chandler Blvd east of 101 freeway. One on Ray Road east of I-10 freeway. It's gonna be hot in August. Enjoy your visit and hamburgers. Laura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Feb 2009 does seem so far away. I would love to meet those who can make it in Long Beach in Aug but depends if our long weekend or not since would drive from Az. Everyone seems so nice on our Roll Call. Can't wait. Gotta have your In-N-Out burger right off the grill. Laura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruising89143 Posted June 20, 2007 #189 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Its a bust in this town and wont be long till it goes outta business(since Backyard Burger just opened up right down the street).No comparision......... I like Krystals too,but never go since no one else in my family likes them....I used to get made fun of when I worked and told people I ate there,,,,,,Hey!,I like steamy and squishy..:p I tried the Whataburger in Gainesville once. The food wasn't bad but it took over thirty minutes to get our meal. Not good for a fast food place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phopte Posted June 20, 2007 #190 Share Posted June 20, 2007 I like Krystals too,but never go since no one else in my family likes them....I used to get made fun of when I worked and told people I ate there,,,,,,Hey!,I like steamy and squishy..:p My daughters like Krystal as well but my wife is at best ambivalent. The big joke is when she won't be home for dinner that the rest of us head for Krystal. I have turned quite a few people on to Krystal as well. Having said that, JR's is pretty good when you are several hundred miles out to sea without a good burger joint in sight!;) I know I might get flamed but Carnival has a pretty good burger, at least they did on the Miracle last April. I do like the atmosphere on board at JR and yes, I even like the dancing and singing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Set2travel Posted June 22, 2007 #193 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Hey Cruisingator2...I too have been to Whattaburger in Gainesville...lived there for about 8 years...Did you ever go to Yonah Burger up toward Helen. If not you didn't miss anything! I am not one to judge a burger joint...I eat the Veggie burgers and I love Johnny Rockets! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msunrullieone Posted June 22, 2007 #194 Share Posted June 22, 2007 I love Whataburger!! Maybe they tried to branch out too much, because here in Texas, they are awesome. We have a Sonic on about every corner, so they're not so special. If I ever get out to California, I'll have to try those In and Out burgers.

We have a Sonic on about every corner, so they're not so special. If I ever get out to California, I'll have to try those In and Out burgers. About 5 yrs ago my sister and I were in the Dallas area. I had heard good things about Whataburger so decided to do a drive thru after a night out in a very fun western bar/nightclub. Not only was the service bad (the kid couldn't get our order right and it took forever to get our meal and we were the only ones in the drive thru at midnight), but the burger was dry and...lack of a better word...blah. I was so disappointed. I assume its better than we experienced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riteonglor Posted June 22, 2007 #196 Share Posted June 22, 2007 I would rather have a good burger over steak anyday. We have a Culver's here and its the best burgers I have ever ate. They are made fresh and are fried when you order...no sitting under heat lights. They are called butter burgers and I'm assuming because they butter and grill the bun. It would take a lot to beat them, best ground beef I have ever tasted. I will be looking for an In & Out next time we travel so I can compare.

Also our police dept makes the most calls for problems at the Whataburger - must go hand in hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was so disappointed. I assume its better than we experienced? There are several Whataburgers in the Mobile area and I wouldn't eat there if they were handing them out for free. To their credit they have the best smell coming from their stores though. Too bad they don't taste as good as they smell. As for police calls to Whataburger, one of them in Mobile is right across the street from the PD HQ. You can look out of the PD and look right into the front windows of the Whataburger and it still gets held up occasionally. I don't know if the criminals are just plain brazen or the PD is just asleep at the wheel. Checkers is my favorite. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EggDropErin Posted June 22, 2007 #199 Share Posted June 22, 2007 I have never had In & Out burgers...but I do LOVE JR's! I have never had less than delicious food whether it be onboard on here in town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alcheme Posted June 22, 2007 #200 Share Posted June 22, 2007 We have Whattaburger here, but I've never tried it. Looks like it would be just a typical fast-food burger joint, and I'm not that much into fast food, so I've never really thought to stop there. Cheeburger Cheeburger is the place I go occasionally for a good burger. I wouldn't mind having a bit of In-n-Out on my cruise, though. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
