In-n-Out: Overrated.

Mmmmmmmmm Red Robin Raspberry Limeade. Almost enough to make me wish there was one closer than an hour away.

Used to get the Banzai Burger. Pretty sure it's not on my diet.

Had my first Five Guys burger in the West Village last night. Wow. Better than In-N-Out by far, imo.

Get back to the Left Coast and regain your senses.

I love that place. You go there with kids and the waitresses make sure they have balloons before they even sit down. They have crayons chocolate milk and cups they can bring home.

Just about every time we're trying to decide where to go for dinner one of my kids screams "Red Robin"

There is a lot to be said for a place that is so family friendly and the adults aren't exactly complaining about the food either.

Now I'm even more thankful I've never stepped foot in a Red Robin!

Luv ya, bro!

EDIT:

Wait. You're in "The City" and the best you could do for eats was Five Guys? WTF?

It was late, I was a little tipsy, two blocks from where I'm staying...had to try it. And quite honestly, I remembered this thread, which planted the seed.

Bay Area just started getting In-N-Out in the last 10 years or so. When the first one opened there would be two-hour lines. I couldn't fathom what the fuss was over once I had one -- I think it's just Californian pride about something that's theirs.

It's better than the other fast-food places, but nothing worth going out of your way for.

It's the allure of what you can't have. My cousin, who lived in Vegas for a couple of years, tells me there's a bar there that'll give you a $100 bar tab for every case of Yuengling you deliver them. They turn around and sell them for $10 a can. In Pennsylvania, they use Yuengling to wash the dog. On the Strip, it's 24-karat.

There was a time Coors had that appeal on the East Coast, because you couldn't get the stuff but you'd hear that it was seriously awesome stuff. Then we got it and ... howaboutno.jpg.

I would like to get a double-double animal style with well done animal style fries and a neopolitan shake, just to say I did. But I doubt it'll live up to the hype. I'm not sure it's possible.

Any chance you have the name of this bar? If not, can you get it?

And yes, after six years of lurking around here, THIS is what finally motivated me to register. It's certainly not how I imagined it.

Least that's what my cousin says. Not sure if it's an urban myth or what (this isn't the sort of transaction they want to advertise on their site, for obvious reasons)

Terrible -- but inevitable.

I am not gonna read all nine pages, but will add this: That is one fine way to earn an ass-beating 'round these parts.

Never had an In-Out but HC & I went to the newest Five Guys that opened a few months go. I think there are two in Canada.

Well, it was a good burger but not much better than Harvey's (a national chain up here) and certainly not as good as either Lick's or South Street Burgers (two regional chains)

The 'large' fries were more like XXXL. There were enough for four people, easy. The fries were better than average but not as good as South Street's New York Fries

Price of two cheeseburgers, fries and two regular drinks was $23.00. Way overpriced for the quality. Won't go back

I've heard about Harvey's, I'm definitely trying it if I ever cross the border. I tried Tim Horton's in New York and decided I'll try any Canadian chain with good reviews.
