Yep. It's In-N-Out. If you've had it before, it tastes the same.
And if you get it to go, eat the fries in the car - they are undoubtedly
the worst not-warm fries on the planet.

Well, I haven't, until today.
I went by the Allen one and discovered that the line wasn't all that
long, and got a double-double, fries, and a shake after a half-hour
wait. Not bad (actually, quite good), but I agree that Five Guys is
better. In-N-Out is closer to me, though, so once the fascination
dies down I'll be back.

Ate half in the car, the other half at home. Agreed.

Not bad, but not worth the line or price. fries really suck if you take
them home. Not much if any better than Whataburger. They just have more options. Its a fad brought on by celebrities endorsing it but I don't
think they have a Whataburger or braums in L.A. For fast food as far as
price and quality goes I don't think you can beet Whataburger or Braums.
but I am always willing to try. At least Krystal's closed done. that
place really sucked but had the same hype as what In-N-Out is getting.
The only place I thought was worth the hype and I am sad to see it gone
in Plano was Krispy Cream. Another subject all in itself.

Liked Krystal's... not alot of burgers like that around. Though I prefer having the Carl's Jr. that took it's place truth be told.
Braum's are really good, great fries (when fresh) and shakes (best in DFW?)...

Personally, I won't eat at a Braum's. See:

Krystal is alive and well on Hwy 360 in Arlington. Can't eat the little
gut bombs like I used to though.
Every once in a while on the way to Florida is just fine.

Every person I've talked to who has served time in California and also spent time here has told me that the'd prefer a Whataburger over an In and Out Burger any day of the week and every hour of the day.
A friend of mine recently passed by there and found out it'd take an hour to get to the drive through. I wonder how much longer that will continue.
Are they still putting a scripture on the wrapper of their burgers? No one I know has been to one of their locations recently.

I didn't notice one on the wrapper, but there was one on the
bottom of my milkshake cup. Not too obtrusive, I guess.

Okay, good to know. It probably doesnt mean much to me anyway, since I
don't get up to Southern Oklahoma much these days.
I hear about their range of options. What do they offer that isn't
available other places? The biggest burger overload I've seen so far is Burger Island's Jungle Burger, which had me listening carefully to the
list of ingredients to determine if there were any plumbing fixtures in
it.
Burger Island is always great! Great choice for lunch tomorrow. Thanks!

I've heard the Irving location tends to produce soggy fries, but this information is a couple of years old. Anyone been there lately who can confirm or deny this?

Yup. That's correct. I just skip the fries.

I ate at the Rowlett location of Burger Island a couple of days
ago. It's on Lakeview Parkway in the Tom Thumb shopping center
where Bajio Grill used to be (the Garland location of Bajio
Grill was great - too bad they're both closed now). I ordered
the bacon cheeseburger combo. Since I like my fries crisp, I
asked the waitress if their's were. She told me that they could
make them that way. I asked her to do so. When my order came,
the fries were excellent. They were nice and crisp and very
tasty. The hamburger was also very good. I'll be back.
And, as long as we are discussing burger joints, my wife and I
tried Burger Extreme a few months ago. It is also on Lakeview
Parkway in Rowlett a few miles west of Burger Island, and thus,
a few miles closer to me. They are in the Aldi shopping center.
We both thought it was quite good. Unfortunately, their sign is
nearly impossible to read. I drove by it many, many times, never
knowing what it said until one day, a car painted with their
logo pulled up next to me when I was waiting at a red light.
Then, I was able to read it.
