Never had In N Out. With Shake Shack and Five Guys I can't understand paying basically the same price for an inferior burger in a fast food type setting when basically any pub or restaurant does a better job.
I think it depends on your preference. I prefer a well seasoned griddle cooked smashed style burger on sweet and soft bun, i.e. potato bun with limited fixings. Not a huge fan of pub burgers unless the meat quality and cut combos are killer. My favorite meat cuts by far are short ribs and brisket so if that is the blend, I am all in. Shake Shacks meat purveyor has an amazing reputation. Maybe the quality has gone done with their increased capacity but it seems the same to me. Five Guys is a step below in terms of ingredient quality.
