Ah, I see now. It looks very similar to Five Guy's in that picture. If they are anything like Five Guy's then they will have success, and I will go there on occasion. But, I agree with the person above, who talked about to much meat. I am no vegetarian, but I have cut way down on the meat (when I don't have my carnivorous cravings). I realized, not to long ago, that I can't keep shoving the good stuff. My body just doesn't feel good packing it all in anymore. So I won't be getting the double patties often. Maybe after some drinks?

omg my ice cream is rumbling right now looking at that picture.
The giant meat, globbered in cheese burgers are what they market as their "burger" that just looks like a trip to the bathroom and bring a couple of things to keep you busy.

The Pappas Bros. are 'mom and pop'?

Are those mom and pop places fast food? Why do people want to compare InO to local burger joints, when InO is a fast food place?

No, Papa's isn't mom and pop. I know Dot's is owned by the Pappa's brand. I mean other places with burgers. I just mentioned Dot's, because they have a pretty good burger there.

No, I don't eat at Burger King, McDonald, Jack in the Crack, etc. If that is what you mean. I can actually taste the chemical (or whatever it is) in those burgers now. It also did bad things to my stomach, and other things. I stopped eating all of that bad food, on a trip to Maryland, that I took in 2008. When I came back to Houston I was hungry, and needed something fast. I went to Burger King, it was bad. I went to Jack in the crack, and it was bad. So from that point, I have not eaten fast food burgers.

I don't think it is wrong to compare a big chain restaurant, or any chain for that matter, with a mom and pop stop. How would people know what they were missing?

The point wasn't whether or not you eat fast food. Just that InO is a fast food place. Can't compare local mom and pop burger places, or sit-down burger joints to a fast food restaurant like InO, which is better compared to the other fast food places. And fast food is awesome. Look at the macros on a double quarter pounder from McDonalds. One of the best post-workout meals.

Well I'm not going to argue with you on your point. It is your opinion. But, I can compare what I want to. And if that helps people make choices, then I'm more happy about it. But, I will say something on one of your points (in bold). I don't care how many macros (don't know what that is) are in a quarter pounder. If it is disgusting and low quality to me, then I am not going to eat it.

In N Out Burgers are just plain GROSS! Tried them twice since I moved out here and believe me they are GROSS! Texas knows how to make great burgers! In N Out is just a hype and for those of you who have never tried one...you won't be impressed at all.
