In-N-Out Burger to Texas?

That’s what one Disher claims. Nothing on their website. I’m drooling checking on it. (Note to self: why do you fall for this rumor every time?)

I have also heard rumors of this and heard that one will be replacing the Steak n’ Shake off of 75 near Caruth.

OMG, is there a house for sale nearby?
Nate @ August 22nd, 2008 at 4:51 pm

Ironic, since I had talked to them before about possibly opening one in Dallas. Guess they already had this lined up, because I was thanked for the interest but turned down for unspecified reasons.

I wonder what word Bill Addison would use to describe the color of the meat patties…

I always thought that In-N-Out Burger was still family owned and didn’t do franchises…

This might be the best thing that has ever happened to Dallas if it comes to fruition. I was raised on In n’ Out and since I moved to the Big D I’ve craved it almost daily… Is God finally answering my prayers?

BTW… It is a family owned business, no franchises.

I wish they’d come to Hong Kong

as a long-time dallas resident living in southern california i can assure you that whataburger is HANDS DOWN a better burger - NO QUESTION.

what’s worse is that the dq’s here are owned by brazier and are horrendous relative to the dq’s in and around dallas. rural dq’s are a close 2nd to whataburger, but the california competitors are not anywhere close.

sorry. the bang-to-hype ratio is way out of line.
Anne Young Fritsche @ August 22nd, 2008 at 7:49 pm

YES.

Yes yes yes yes yes yes YES.

As a Dallasite-cum-brief-Southern Californian-cum-Dallasite again…. this would positively delight me.

Whataburger has its place, but In-N-Out is a whole ‘nother burger, and excellent in its own right.

I really hope this rumor is true!

I much prefer Fatburger to In-and-Out. But In-and-Out has better t-shirts.
Ginger @ August 22nd, 2008 at 8:20 pm

I could hear my heart pounding in my chest when I saw this post. Oh please oh please let it be true.
Vikrum @ August 22nd, 2008 at 9:18 pm

Very exciting! I’m from LA, and I really miss In-N-Out. Mooyah in Plano is pretty good, too, though…..
KRM @ August 22nd, 2008 at 9:27 pm

Born in Glendale, CA. Please, please, please, please, please, PLEASE be true!

DUDE: Uh, the In-and-Out Burger’s on Camrose.

WALTER: Near the In-and-Out Burger. Th–

DONNY: Those are good burgers, Walter.

WALTER: Shut the f*ck up, Donny. The kid is in ninth grade, Dude, and his father is–are you ready for this?–

DUDE: Hmm.

WALTER: His father is, Arthur Digby Sellers.

DUDE: Who the **** is that?

WALTER: Huh?

DUDE: Who the f*ck is Arthur Digby Sellers?

OK, if I moved from Dallas to SoCal and there was a rumor that Whataburger was coming to Cali - I would be saying “yes, yes, yes” and “oh please, please, please” and “Whataburger is way better than In-N-Out” etc… So with that said, I have been fortunate enough to have eaten plenty of both! IMO, Whataburger is better! In-N-Out is so Hollywood over-hyped (not saying its bad- just an average burger)…
Nancy Nichols @ August 23rd, 2008 at 10:03 am

You all make me giggle. I’m with DGirl–love Fatburger, but I think In-N-Out is the new Krispy Kreme. Rolling out.Ryan A, you made my day. Good stuff all of you. Thanks.
Sway @ August 23rd, 2008 at 1:00 pm

In and Out in Dallas would be a dream come true! I’m so addicted to their burgers that I bring them home frozen.

I was saying months ago when they brought in 2 other west coast restaurants(Gordon Bierch Brewery and RA Sushi) that In and Out had to come too!!! It would be stupid not to put one here.
JS @ August 24th, 2008 at 12:20 pm

I know In-N-Out Burger. In-N-Out Burger is a friend of mine. Whataburger, you are no In-N-Out Burger. Not even close. Really not in the same neighborhood.
thomas @ August 25th, 2008 at 10:40 am

Have eaten at several sites from Cali to Las Vegas. Burgers remind me of Wendy’s way back in the day when they advertised “hot and juicy”…………Burgers are good, fries are kinda soggy……..Bottom line - I think Nancy is right drawing comparisons to Krispy Kreme. They came in with great fanfare, long lines and now????? You can drive right up and get served. It’ll be the same with In n Out…………..
Aardvark @ August 25th, 2008 at 1:40 pm

It’s won’t be the same with In-N-Out because it is good food at a good price and not just a novelty or nostalgia. I lived the first 24 years of my life in SoCal and have yet to see an In-N-Out that struggled.

I hope the rumor is accurate. Please keep us updated.
Nikki @ August 26th, 2008 at 2:45 am

Hey I’m a manager at In-N-Out. The company has plans to go to texas but it won’t be for a couple of years. Because our meat is never frozen we can’t drive it across the country because it would compromise our quality standards. What we hope to do is open our own meat department out there (because yes, it’s so fresh we even make our own meat patties)so we can successfully open a few stores in the more heavily populted ares of texas.
Ricki Melton @ August 26th, 2008 at 11:22 am

If you like In-N-Out there is an new place in Frisco called GoGo Burger - the burgers and fries taste like you are sitting at INO in the middle of southern california. They have the best milkshakes I have ever tasted (crushed twinkies in the milkshake).
Bradley @ August 29th, 2008 at 1:29 pm

I just ate at an In-N-Out burger two days ago and I, most certainly, do not understand the hype. Onion or no onion? Come on. The burger basks in mediocrity (at best).
markzero @ September 16th, 2008 at 1:52 pm

Googled for “In-n-out Dallas” and got an address on Marsh… I’m just sayin’.
Nancy Nichols @ September 16th, 2008 at 2:08 pm

Call them or give me the address.
Azrael @ September 22nd, 2008 at 11:04 pm

“Basks in mediocrity” It’s cute how you strive to be different by having a dissenting opinion. Food is, by definition, a matter of taste. For those of us who have a taste for a Double-Double, and live in Dallas, this would be heaven sent. If you don’t like, please just stay out of our way in the drive thru.
scott @ November 19th, 2008 at 6:51 pm

Bradley = retard. In N Out rocks!! Saudi sheiks have them flown over on private jets to Saudi Arabia. What other burger can make that claim.
