I've enjoyed burgers at the Habit, and at Five Guys, and I still love In-N-Out. It's even possible that 5 Guys or the Habit have tastier burgers. However, In-n-out burgers are almost half the price, and the drive through service makes me genuinely pleased every time I go. Best drive through process I've ever seen -- people taking your order before you get to the speakers, a window to take your money, a window to give you food, and every post staffed by cheerful, helpful people.

I've even taken the time to find their website and say, "wow, I'm impressed by the good service I've seen here, there, everywhere", which is something I can't usually be bothered to do for any other restaurant.

I'm not sure how much of my enjoyment of them is due to nostalgia, consistently excellent service, or maybe a pareto optimal price-vs-taste point? ;)

I adore In-N-Out though the guy is right who says the fries are better at Habit.

But I still am convinced that Culver's beats them all. Course you have to be in the upper Midwest to sample them.

We frequently stop at the Culver's in Bowling Green, Kentucky, on the way from here to somewhere else. There are restaurants in Tennessee which are closer, but we never seem to pass them near meal times.

As Culver's is a Wisconsin thing, I'm not at all surprised that they showed up in Arizona.

I recently visited the first Five Guys franchise in germany and got really disappointed. The meat itself is better than the burgers at McDonalds or Burger King, but the rest of the burger is equally bad.

There are at least two local burger chains around the serve way better burgers for an equal or even slightly lower price.

So unless Five Guys really messed up in their first german location, I just don't understand why it is so famous in the US.
