I have tried In-n-out burger... now what?

When I choose NJ from the dropdown menu, it just gives me 22 grocery stores that sell frozen White Castle burgers. When I enter a zip code and click Find, nothing happens and it says “Error on Page” in the bottom of the screen in IE7.

The best burger place for really real, is Brgr on 26th and 7th Avenue in Manhattan.

I’m from New York (Queens) and there were plenty there when I was growing up. Where were White Castles in Lafayette. When I lived there (I left in '80) there weren’t any, damn it - not that I can complain about a lack of good food in Lafayette.

I buy the frozen ones, but I’d love me a bag of sliders.

Ooh, yea, you are right, their store locater blows.

I just clicked on the lovely Garden State on the map and a list popped up.

This might work. Or it might not.

Either way, there are lots and lots of White Castle’s in the NY/NJ area, and I make it a point to get a sack every time I go back. :wink:

Oh, son of a bitch - I was thinking of Krystal Burger! Both places have those little burgers than you can eat a zillion of* and I get them mixed up. My bad.

ETA:

    • don’t they? Now that I start to think about it, I don’t even remember the last time I went to White Castle.

I moved away from Trenton in 1996, after 23 years, and have STILL never seen a White Castle, ever, not in NJ or anywhere else I’ve lived.

Well, we had to go back to the room, because that’s where one third of the people eating the burgers happened to still be located.

Also, I’ve noticed that people only seem to go into such hysterics to describe just how bad something is, it often tends to be something that I enjoy a great deal (What-A-Burger, ID4, Indiana Jones 4, and Everybody Loves Raymond all come to mind)

I live in Calgary. They roll up the sidewalks at 10. It’s a Sunday. And I didn’t eat dinner.

I hate you people right now.

Drive home and have sex with Maude?

They were opening a Five Guys near where I work. You’d have thought it was the second coming according to people who had had this.

What-a-piece-of-shit.

First of all, you’re greeted by a sign that says, “we ONLY cook our burgers well done.”

If you’re going to declare you only cook your burgers one way, it better fucking be medium.

Second of all, they only can cook them well done because they’re so thin (which is also why a regular has two patties).

Third, the fries were the soggiest mass of crap I’ve ever had. And, they give you enough for 3 people, and charge you enough for 3. No “normal” sized option for $1.25.

People get these mass notions about burger chains that NEVER stand up to scrutiny. The best burger place in the world is ALWAYS the one you haven’t eaten at.

Never had Five Guys (burgers, that is), but I know people who worship at that altar like a scientologist. Does it have meth in the meat or something?

Joe

No, that can’t be right. I’ve eaten at In-N-Out. :smiley:

Five Guys is tasty, but nothing too special. The things that make them stand out for me is the variety of toppings, the malt vinegar that so few places provide for fries, and the free peanuts. I’ll take a Johnny Rockets over them any day.

I believe the gentelman is refering to actual food you can eat.

This thread has me hungry for a burger and chips, but I really don’t know where you can get a decent one in Belfast.

OP – I felt the same way. Then I went a few more times, and hole shit do I love the place. Please do not judge it based on your first visit – their burgers really do taste unlike anything else out there, and it’s almost sort of an acquired taste. But do give them a few more chances before forming a verdict

Currently my favorite burger place is Tommy’s. But it isn’t for the burger which is substandard. It’s the crack they add to the chili that goes on the burger. It is pure bliss.

There was a small burger chain in Manhattan in the late 90’s. I’ve tried google but I’m coming up blank.

There was high stool counter seating only (I think). The burgers were thick but weren’t very big (circumference-wise) and featured sauteed onions. The fries were thin and very crisp. I loved that place and I’m dismayed that I can’t remember the name. I vaguely planned to go back one day.
Oh - White Castle is king and I like Whataburger.

Tommy’s! I have to activly keep myself away from both Tommy’s and Fatburger. I go there once and end up having serious burger withdrawls if I don’t keep going back for every meal. Those are dangerous burger joints.

When I was at school I used to go the the In-N-Out in westwood at least once a week. Damn fine burger, but it’s not anywhere near as good as Fatburger (just cheeper and faster). And of course there is nothing in the world like Tommy’s.

I live two blocks from a Tommy’s, it is also directly on my path home every night. I fight the temptation daily.
