Will try it.

I've fallen out of favor with their bacon though. It's not cooked well.

 

[PartlyCloudlike]

Spoiler: Hydrox came before Oreo.

Nothing says "this is safe for my kids to eat" better than Hydrox!

 

[Dishwalla]

Carl's Jr./Hardees is disgusting. They try so hard to make their food look like it's premium, but in the end it's still gross.

 

[Fox318]

 

[linkboy]

Unless they're using fresh ingredients (which I highly doubt), it's totally missing the point.

 

[faceless007]

This. I've never understood the obsession. The fries are good, but there are better burgers elsewhere.

Not for under $2.50 there aren't.

A lot of SoCalians like to hype up In-N-Out as the best burger ever, which I think does it a disservice since the price is a big factor. If there's a better cheeseburger+fries combo anywhere for under $4, I've love to know about it.

Also if you don't order with grilled onions and chopped chilies, you're doing it wrong.

for 4 dollars I can't think of anything better
but taste wise In N Out is low to middle of the road

Fries are shit though

 

[see5harp]

In and Out is all about the price/quality ratio. I think it's really good for the same price as a combo at McDonalds. I think shake shack and even five guys is probably a product on par or better though for a little more money.

 

[Aselith]

Available at Hardees?

 

[PeregrinSe7en]

in n out is da bomb

they're the best

oh wait i forgot about carls jr. fuck em

 

[Pejo]

As a recent mover to CA, I love In-N-Out. I'm willing to give this a try though. I already love Carl Jr's Jalapeno Turkey Burger, that thing is amazing.

 

[studyguy]

The difference with In N Out is that the actual product there is trucked in almost daily iirc. The main reason they don't expand is because their supply chain is super limited.

Sure there's a literal fuckton of bistros with similar quality to In N Out, but they cost an arm and a leg in comparison. The Habit gets hyped up but then you end up dropping nearly 4-5 per a regular ass burger (not even including fries/drink). It's great, but I could do just as well at In N Out for less and equal dope ass burger.

Also Animal Style everything all day every day because anything else is doing is wrong.

 

[Bread]

I know you're new to the best coast so I'll let it slide for now but you need to know your shit friend,

fuck you friend!

 

[Kieli]

There's a really good burger joint near where I live, but their burgers alone are like 10 bucks.

 

[Pancake Mix]

You Americans might consider it a cheap imitation, and you're probably right, but I'd like to try both it and In-N-Out burger sometime, sounds like heaven. I can already imagine the good tasting cheddar cheese, the salt, the fresh beef patty....

 

[ThisGuy]

Nope.

Animal style means to add pickles, extra spread, sub in grilled onions instead of raw, and then fry mustard onto the meat patties.

Jesus Christ that sounds delicious.

 

[Zackat]

I rank Carl's Jr, Jack in the Box, and Burger King as the absolute lowest form of fast food.

Actually Bakers and Sonic might be slightly lower.

The point is this won't taste like In-n-Out.

No McDonald's in your list? I think it's easily one of the worst fast food places there is. The fries and Coke are the only good things.

Imagine the best use of American cheese instead.

 

[truly101]

This thing will be the Hydrox of hamburgers.

Hydrox was first tho.

EDIT: I see that was covered

 

[see5harp]

The McDonalds double cheeseburger is certainly not disgusting. I think Carl's Jr. also does a ghetto ass big mac.

 

[norm9]

Just had it for lunch. It's not terrible.

Doesn't taste anything like In & Out with the exception of the grilled onions. It was real small too even with two patties, just as I suspected. Only cost 5 bucks though.

 

[Rootbeer]

I'm game to try this, for sure. I think Carl's is a pretty decent burger place if you know what to order. I like their grass fed beef patty too.

I'm sure it's no in-n-out, but since I have lots of Carl's around and not many In-N-Outs... i'm glad they are least trying to live up to the standard.

I'm in SF and we only have ONE in-n-out in the city... it sucks! They could easily expand more and keep the demand high. Wish they would.

 

[Soapbox Killer]

I wish for the day that In-N-out comes to the east coast.

And no, Five Guys is not a reasonable sub for In-N-Out.

 

[Makoto Yuki]

Hahaha.... HAHAHHAHA....

Come on....

 

[radioactivez0r]

I actually like CJ's burgers more than any other fast food chain, but I'll stick with the double western bacon or the big burger.

 

[The Lone Courier]

In n out is bland as fuck. It's an alright burger I guess... but I've had so much better

Preach!

 

[Host Samurai]

Read thread as Cell Jr. Been watching way too much DBZ these days

 

[Dr_Boris_Goltz]

No McDonald's in your list? I think it's easily one of the worst fast food places there is. The fries and Coke are the only good things.

I think the takeaway is that fast food, with very few exceptions, is awful.

 

[Setzer]

This. I've never understood the obsession. The fries are good, but there are better burgers elsewhere.

Yep, love their fries but I'll take a Five Guys burger over their burger any day.

 

[JustenP88]

In 'N Out is delicious and overrated.

Carl's Jr reminds me of Kmart. I'm always surprised when I see they still exist.

 

[Darth Pinche]

What is Carl's doing this. They already have the monster Double Western Bacon Cheeseburger!

Yes, those are god-dammned onion rings in there!

 

[Chris R]

So this is actually pretty damn good for the price.

Cheese isn't nearly as good and the meat has that Carl Jr's flavor, but when you can get the burger and a side of onion rings for the price of a double western it's kinda a no brainer.

 

[Stumpokapow]

hahaha oh man that title

 

[Ninja Scooter]

What is Carl's doing this. They already have the monster Double Western Bacon Cheeseburger!

Yes. Stay in your lane, Carl. Double Western Bacon Chee for life.

 

[Negaduck]

Love me some in N out, but fuck me the western from Carl is pretty damn good.

 

[thesoapster]

I hope someday I live somewhere near an In-N-Out.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

Surprised at the folks hatin on Carl's burgers. They're consistently better than the other fast food burgers at their chosen price points. Their weaknesses lie in their sides. The milkshakes are also great.

 

[smurfx]

 

[Undead Fantasy]

Damn, I'm hungry now.

 

[Subpar Spatula]

After not eating fast food for a while that doesn't look appealing. I just think of how bad that's for your body and shudder at the thought of actively wanting it.

 

[Khaliss]

I'll pay extra for panda meat.

 

[CB3]

Put the fresh baked bun on that thing and its 10/10

When I was in college they always had BOGO coupons for those all over the campus. That was my go to burger because I could go to town on two of those for cheap. So damn good.

Hardees v. Wendy's. The battle of the 620 calorie burgers

My man. Chopped Chilies, grilled onions, and on some days keep the raw onions as well

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

I have an IN-N-OUT closer to me than a Carl's Jr. This is pretty much pointless for me. Drive farther away to pick up a shittier knock off version of the world famous Double-Double?

Yeah, same here. And I have a Habit and a Five Guys closer than Carl's Jr as well.

 

[UltraGunner]

I remember last month Grill Em All had their own double double style burger that blew the original out of the water. I doubt this will hold a candle to that.

 

[mikeGFG]

Willing to try this

also, Tommy's California Classic already shits on in-n-out.

 

[Etrian Oddity]

In-N-Out gotta be the most overrated eatery in the world. I remember they hyped it up that it was coming here to Austin, and all the Cali immigrants were praising god for it.

Then the Texans tried it and went right back to Short Stop and P. Terry's.

 

[FeenixRising]

Carl's Jr. wins by default.

They're actually on the East Coast via Hardee's
