    In n out has the best food and it’s still like $5 for a meal

    It’s why all of the other drive throughs are empty and in n outs drive through line spans three parking lots. Somehow pulling up to in n out as the 40th person in the line I still get through it quicker than if I pull up to an empty McDonald’s. I guess the in n out having 20 employees is able to actually make food faster than the McDonald’s with maybe two people in it

      Disagree on the taste, and hate the wafer-thin patties, but you can’t argue with the price. Cheapest fast food in town.

      That said, you can make the burgers a little more palatable by asking for a 4x4 with chopped chilies and pickles, and replacing the spread with mustard. Makes it taste closer to a traditional double cheeseburger. But unfortunately the buns still taste like crap, so I have to order it protein style, and either spend a little extra money grabbing my own buns from the grocery store (and thus negating any cost savings), or simply eating the burger without a bun.

      And don’t even get me started on how bland the fries are. Quite honestly the worst French fries I’ve ever had. But they’re okay if you order them with cheese (or animal style without the spread). TBH, I’m just not much of a fan of fries. I wish they had more choices for side dishes.

      But again, you can’t beat the price, so I’m willing to sacrifice on taste to save a little money from time to time. But I will never understand why people like the taste so much.
