no, not at all. 5 Guys and In-and-Out are tops in fast food, by my book.

Sonic and Whataburger are several steps down. Pretty average, really. I'd rather eat Hardees.

5 Guys isn’t really fast food, it’s fast casual on par with Chipotle and Qdoba. In-and-Out is fast food, but also incredibly overrated.

So it sucks is what you're saying

Cool I’ve been seeing an excess of cars in the parking lot and drive through so I figured they were opening soon.

that's all fast food in my book.

and In-and-Out is really good. 5 guys is very similar.

The entire experience is relatively the same, I'm not sure why you feel like it's apples and oranges.

Anything I walk up to the counter, read off my order, pay someone in a nametag and wait for my number to be called is fast food as far as I'm concerned.

Meh, it’s alright. Nothing to get excited about though. If I’m going to go in someplace and get a burger, I’m probably going to go somewhere else.

You can’t really compare a place with a drive thru that has to turn meals out in a minute to a place that does way less volume and can take more time like a 5 Guys. It’s not a level playing field.

I think you're creating differences where there really aren't any.

The end result is extremely similar. The quality of ingredients is extremely similar. The wait for your food is extremely similar.

It's a very similar experience, drive-thru or not.

doesn't matter. Whattaburger is very mediocre Texas bullshit. Like their idea of BBQ.

Yet you like In-n-Out which is a 100% McDonalds wanna be.

In and out is the most overrated worse fast food burger in the nation. And their fries are the worst fast food item in the nation. You have to drown them in the fake in n out Mac sauce for them to be decent.

Our experiences are very different then. I can go through the drive-thru in McDonalds and be gone in less time than it takes me to even order at 5 Guys. Now McDonalds sucks, no question, but you’re trading quality for convenience.

Also, I didn’t create those differences. Those are industry definitions I believe.

Yeah it's pretty ironic.

We went on vacation to Cali in 2018. One of the few things I was looking forward to was In-n-Out because of what everyone says about it.

I wanted to throw it on the floor and go somewhere else a few bites in.
