You gotta be talking about the Dicks at...(ummm) 3rd and Division...Grew up on the lower south hill. Used to be a Friday nite/Saturday nite cruising stop...Haven't been there in 20 years, but drove by it last summer, and it's still as busy as ever. Started out as a Panda, waaaaay back in the early 60's...Zip's used to make a great greasy burger as well. Our favorite was Ron's...Pines and E. Sprague.

Living in Kahleeforneeya, I've grown to like I&O, especially when compared to most of the other burger joints. Only one I like as well/better, is Carl's Jr. Their $6 burger menu is great.

I grew up in the Valley, but I lived on the South Hill while I was in high school, even though I continued to attend at U-Hi. 28th and Thor, about.

Zip's... mmm.... the best thing at Zip's are their fries because they're accordion style, and their tartar sauce is also delicious. A tub o' fries and a couple of Belly Busters or Papa Joes and I'm good to go! :thumbsup:

Used to eat at Ron's a lot, too. We'd hit it up when we'd visit the White Elephant out there. They had really good shakes, as I recall.

Damn, now I'm hungry...

Ok, you former Spokanites have gotta remember Long Horn BBQ, as well.

But back in the day, cruising Riverside and hitting Dick's at about midnite, was the thing to do.

I was an Lewis & Clark guy, met my wife at Expo 74...she was a Central Valley girl...
My in-laws were friends with (I think) one of the brothers who owned the original LongHorn...GREAT food...
Now How about Taco Time? SOOOO Much better than Taco Smell...

My step father was president of the corporation that owned all the Taco Times in Spokane, except for one, which was owned by a dentist friend of his.

BTW, I went to Lewis & Clark my freshman and sophmore year, then Ferris.

Damn, then I certainly helped make him rich...Taco Time ROCKED! I wonder if the friend's was the "Sunshine Taco Time" in the valley?

No, but his corporation managed the Sunshine Taco Times for a while. His friends was the north Monroe location.

Damn right I love me some LongHorn BBQ! I was a big fan of Taco Time's Taco Burger as well.

I'm a bit younger than you old farts though (27) and by the time the kids my age could drive the cops were already cracking down on Riverside cruisers. Thanks gang-banger wannabes.

I'm a big dicks fan but one thing I noticed is that if you go on a non-peak time the food has been sitting out long enough that the grease goes through the paper around the burger and the cheese is hard/not that warm any more.
However I went on their aniversery where they were selling burgers for like $.25 and they were fresh- best damn cheese burger I've ever had from fast food.

 

[compuwiz1]

A Whammy or Double Whammy from Dick's FTW!

 

[IHAVEAQUESTION]

I've tried both Dick's and I&O, and the verdict is...


I&O > Dick's

 

[flashbacck]

5) Crew was very professional. Unlike most of the incompetance that runs rampant in most FF joints, it felt like the people that worked for I&O may have owned stock in the company and wanted it to do well.

QFT. Employee turnover is very low and all managers actually start out as lowly hourly workers.

I agree with all the points the OP made about In and Out. They pay their people well so they are always very polite and professional. You can't argue with the product either.

I personally also enjoy Fat Burger. Everything I'd ordered there was not only delicious, but always hot when it got to me. I used to love "Rallys" as well, but they left a long time ago. I also loved a place called "Tops" in Los Angeles, but I can't go there often.

 

[I Saw OJ]

Grats on loving In and Out. The only bad thing is now when you go back to your home town that doesnt have In and Out all you will be thinking about is In and Out.

 

[Dobbs]

french fries are my weakness and I have to say in and out has the absolute worst fries I have ever had in my entire life and thats including the first time I tried to microwave a bag of frozen fries as a kid. They also have the worst shakes around as they are always just thick milk. Just my opinion and I have eaten at more than a few separate locations mainly when friends from out of town stop by as I never go their for myself.

I agree about I&O's fries. Combine Dick's fries with I&O burgers, and you will have hit the jackpot.

Fries have to be hot, and I usually unwrap my doubledouble and let it drip onto the fries. In N Out fries are horrible the second they get warm/cool.

Can't beat the service though.

Fat Burger is EXPENSIVE! Their dogs are decent, way over priced. If I'm in LA (live in Riverside) it's ALWAYS gotta be Beverly & Rampart - Original Tommys

nothing in this world is as delicious to me as a fresh Tommys burger and some extra cripsy fries, both loaded to the max with that Tommys Chilli. I don't think the burger is very good on it's own, but their chilli makes it dining perfection.

I-N-O is great, but I don't love the fries, don't exactly hate them but I dunno. My GF said I should try ordering them with Cheese, I might tomorrow for lunch to see how much better they are.

 

[Blazin Trav]

Burger joints like Jonny Rockets and Mel's Diner are still better.
But for fast food in and out is as good as it gets.

Haha, that's a tradition whenever I go out to Vegas with my friends as well. Usually we'll hit up a place right after we get off the plane and pick up our rental car.

I remember Ptomaine Tommy's and their glass bottle sodas from the past. Their burgers are a lot better than In and Out.

Did any of you remember In and Out use to give out free bumper stickers and people would modify them to read In and Out urge by removing the b an r?

omg if whataburger is what i remeber it to be... a glorified sonic burger.. then no thanks.
all the ones ive ever been to theres been like super sketchy ppl working.. fries are good tho made fresh to order.

Uh no its not a glorified sonic burger.

 

[giantpinkbunnyhead]

I think In-n-Out's burgers are better than anyone elses, period. I don't know why... maybe it's the insane amount of salt or something, but they're DAMN good! And the fries are much better than any fast food fries out there IMO. One of my favorite things to do when visiting CA is to grab some of that good grub... mmm, maybe I'll go visit next week!

would you like some burger with your mayonaise?

 

[Hammer]

i like em, i get them anytime i go to the west coast.

and no elfenix, whataburger isn't as good. sorry...

 

[Syringer]

I&O should be cheap in order for people that eat it regularly to be able to afford their hospital bills after they get a heart attack.

Have you ever been to I&O?

I&O burgers are not served with ketchup or mayo..or mustard for that matter.
