I guess the East Coast vs. West Coast still rivals on.  I'm just one of many defending the east coast (Shake Shack NYC ALL THE WAY).  But I had to judge In-N-Out burger for myself.\n\nI came here with coworkers on a conference and we got lunch.  I ordered the cheeseburger animal style and fries also animal style.  \n\nI tried the burger and was unimpressed.  The burger patty is so thin compared to the toppings and the bun.  Bread with a side of meat?  Yea, pretty much.  The grilled onions really added flavor to the burger though.  \n\nThe fries were so heavy.  Thick cheese and sauce and onions.  Again, the onions made it better until the cheese congealed and was really goopy.\n\nThe service was fast and they were really nice.  This was also a lot cheaper than I thought.  Still, I'd gladly pay a premium to eat at Shake Shack NYC!
