Yeah, but not a much fun as McDonald's. I like to order the plain one at McDonalds 'cause I like a good mystery and I never know if the meat has been dropped on the floor and picked up again. I usually takes me a few minutes to find the meat patty (gray) buried in the soggy bun but when I find it I check to see it there is sawdust ON it. (Of course there is sawdust IN it). And I like the pickle they get from China and the catsup that has SOME real tomato in it. I sometimes get a shake with it because nothing says milkshake like a powdered mix served just above room temperature.
Still...the fries ain't bad.
Yeah, big difference. I've stopped at McDonalds once or twice..I always get just a little cheeseburger. They suck. For a little bit more, you can get something fresh and pretty tasty at In & Out. Animal style cheeseburger...I think it's $2.75 or so. I wonder if I was REALLY born in the US, because I've never been all that fond of hamburgers. But when in the mood I used to go to Jaspers out on the highway. Great burger, but you have to hold it level 'cause the grease will run all over your arm if you tilt it. About one a year works for me.
But I can eat my weight in burritos!

I like Jaspers. I only like to be outside. They are great. I only have two or three that I like. They do a lot of sweet things with the burgers that I don't care for. Lots of jams and stuff. And I prefer a real beef burger, not an exotic game burger. But sometimes they have a lamb burger and I like that.

In and out fanatics will be there for the experience, not the burgers. It will be a zoo tomorrow.

I just saw photos on Facebook... my brother was there this evening (or perhaps it was this afternoon) for some sort of Pre-Opening Party. They got to eat... without waiting in line for gawd knows how long! LOL

Did they build that where that nasty motel used to be? I think someone put a club there before we left?

In and out uses fresh ground beef and potatoes. And a minimalist menu. Polar opposite of McDonald's.

Yes, that is all gone, and a new hotel is also in the works.

"Burger lovers started lining up at 7:50 last night for the grand opening of the Grants Pass In-N-Out, which opens at 10:30 this morning."
Look for coverage in this afternoon's edition of the Daily Courier and online at thedailycourier.com.

Regarding Jaspers, they've cut back on their table service, which is a drag. They had a nice service going there.

Well, I went to the in-out place today.
Not impressed at all.
Choices are a hamburger, a cheese burger or a double cheese burger.
No chicken burgers or fish...
The french fries ($1.75) were a decent size, but the skinny ones (about 1/4" wide). OK if you like a crunchy fry, I like the thicker ones myself.
Only a small soda selection (not like Burger King and Wendy's), The only non carbonated drinks were ice tea, lemonade and coffee
They had milk shakes too, but I didn't try that.
The burger ($2.60) was not as good as a California burger from Carl's Jr (which is only $2.50).
I won't be back.

Carls has gone way down in my book. I like In and Out for reasons stated before. They taste so much fresher. I like my cheeseburger animal style. Delicious. And not too big and not spendy.

I think it's minimalistic menu is a plus side. Love that.

I don't think I've been to a Carls Jr. since I lived in LA (a long time ago) I didn't like them then and never went back. Haven't been to that little french restaurant since then either, Jacque in the Box.

I think Carl's Junior is too expensive for a burger joint.

Too expensive? More than other fast food places? (I eat at the Salvation Army )

Yes I think they are indeed more spensive than MacPukes or Burger queen. It is better though.
