Overrated anyway. I was born and raised in L.A. and there are a million better burgers to be found. Oh, and their fries really just suck. :|

No matter what praise I've seen of In-N-Out the criticism of their fries seems nearly universal.

Totally agree. Don’t understand the cult following. It’s just fast food. Necessary on the road sometimes but I can’t imagine why someone would be excited about it.

It's a tourist thing. People hear In-N-Out is "good" and, frankly, the burgers are pretty damn good for the price point. But it's about going to In-N-Out, getting a t-shirt, and taking a selfie with your bestie surrounded by 50s diner decor, and then, continuing on your road trip or whatever.

There's always a place nearby to get a "better" burger, and you could pull better fries out of a store-branded bag of frozen "seasoned potato sticks", but the food ain't the reason people go.

I like that it's relatively cheap, but the fries are bad.
