Consumer Reports: In-N-Out Best Burger

September 8, 2010

The new issue of Consumers Reports confirms what almost anybody in California, Nevada, Utah, or Arizona already knows: In-N-Out makes the best burger. [Consumer Reports]

The magazine surveyed 28,000 online subscribers and asked them to rate the burgers at 18 fast food restaurants. In-N-Out came out on top.

Ranked near the bottom: Wendy’s and Burger King.

Ranked at the very bottom: McDonald’s. Here’s the review of the Golden Arches:

“The basic burger was one 3.5-ounce patty with pickle slices, bits of chopped raw onion, and a dab of ketchup and mustard, served on a lightly browned bun. The meat tasted mild and more greasy than beefy. It was easier to bite through than the Five Guys patty and was uniformly round and brownish-gray. The major flavor came from the toppings. The bun was airy and bland.”

In-N-Out restaurants can be found locally in Santa Maria and Atascadero. A new Arroyo Grande location is set to open later this year.

I still like Virgils burger….thats some oldtimer stuff….in and out burgers are pretty tasty:-)


The best burgers in Atascadero are found next to the Sunken Gardens at Sylvesters.


Try Dan’s Grub Shack in the kMart center!


I would agree with this survey. I also like the Carl’s Jr. 6 Dollar Burgers. (Yum….)

However… My favorite Burger places are independent mom and pop “Walk Ups”.

I love a real good teriyaki burger. (Great, now I’m hungry…)

I was under the impression that most visitors to this site are vegans and wouldn’t have much interest in this shocking article
