Ugh... these burgers are SO over-rated... about equal with a dollar burger from Burger King... why the fuss?
Ryan Neider | 4:52 p.m. Aug. 10, 2009
My mouth is already salivating!

What.... | 4:57 p.m. Aug. 10, 2009
about SLC? No Double-Double in the state capital?
Homer | 4:57 p.m. Aug. 10, 2009
MMMMM.. burgers.

Thanks for reminding me. I have a eat for free card at In and Out. I'm really not into burgers. It must be reading about e. coli. In and Out really does care more about their customers.
Wimpy | 6:31 p.m. Aug. 10, 2009
Hooray! Best inexpensive burgers, period. Gimme that grilled bun! That section of lettuce head! That fresh grilled meat!

Best fries in the world, cut from a potato right before your eyes.

This is what a hamburger place SHOULD be.

Anybody know how the old argument about Northern Utah being too far away for a In and Out was solved?
Yum | 8:32 p.m. Aug. 10, 2009
Don't forget Riverton! We're getting one out here soon, too! Tasty fun!
@ kiaoraguy | 11:00 p.m. Aug. 10, 2009
I believe it was solved by the in-n-out copies (I'm not saying that their bad, just... copies) like EZ take out (although they've been around since '69) and Chadder's opening. I think in-n-out just couldn't stand seeing people making money that the majority of customers would rather spend on a genuine in-n-out burger. I believe that more than anything they'd just like to put Chadder's out of business. I for one can't stand the fanatics that are guaranteed to pack any new in-n-out for at least the first six months after opening so I'll be keeping my business the the copies. Once the hype dies down, I'll go get the real thing at least once.
Take cash or checks? | 4:32 a.m. Aug. 11, 2009
Not being one laden down with credit cards or debts will they take checks or cash? It is getting hard to find places that accept real money and doesn't force on people indenturing themselves for the fast buck.

Joking aside, this is just what we need, another unhealthy fast food joint. Another joint where the food you eat may be harmful to your health, especially if they have diseased illegal aliens employed there.

How about some good old fashioned restaurants that promote and use local food supply's. I'm tired getting crappy food that you have no idea where it came from and what insidious hormones and chemicals have been added to preserve them for shipment. If there are any such restaurants in the Valley I would like to see them advertise it so I can eat out once in a while. I need to find a restaurant that doesn't own a deep fryer and grills, fries in a pan, or bakes all their meats and food at a reasonable cost.

Needless to say about in-out, so what?

Any plans for Jack in the Box?

In-N-Out is good for the price, but I have had better in Utah at 5 Guys or Apollo Burger.
billybob | 6:56 a.m. Aug. 11, 2009
where in Riverton

The copies will have a hard time with the "real" competition.

I've been to in-n-out in So Calf and in Saint George, and to the copies looking for a similar quality, The only one that is even close is 5 guys but they are pricey.

John | 8:45 a.m. Aug. 11, 2009
Can't wait to be able to get In-n-out when I come home to visit family. Normally I have to wait until I go TDY to Nellis/Las Vegas to have one. It's great.
Re: STB. Sorry but Apollo burger is a totally different type of burger. And if you are going to do that you have to go to CROWN BURGER. That is better than Apollo, hands down. And the owners are awesome. Gotta love Rita at the West Valley store!
I will pass | 8:48 a.m. Aug. 11, 2009
I have no desire to eat a greasy fried burger.
Jeff | 8:54 a.m. Aug. 11, 2009
In N Out is great! I love the one here in St. George, You guys up north are going to LOVE IT. Be sure and ask for your hamburger "animal style" - Mustard, pickles, grilled onions along with the fresh tomatoes and lettuce. They are a great company to support, they pay their workers well, and employee top notch people. McDonalds could take a lesson from them! In N Out is truly a great American business!
Brian | 9:08 a.m. Aug. 11, 2009
I love In-N-Out Burger. I was the first one to the one in Washington, UT. I can't wait till they open up by me now. I'm actually getting my fix tonight in Washington. Cheesburger animal style, dark cheesy fries, and a Neopaliton shake. I can taste it now.

I just love In-N-Out for their freshness. The fresh buns, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, everything, chopped that day. They have no freezers so their meat is fresh. Their potatoes are cut while you watch in Drive-thru. Chadders is nothing like this place. I like them a lot for their fast service. They get them flying out fast.

If you have not tried one, please do. Don't say I will go when the crowd dies down because they never will have a crowd die down. There are at least 4 - 6 cars in drive thru late at night, like around 10 p.m. It is crazy. Just go! You may have to wait about 10 min., but that is only if the crowd is huge.

And shame on you to those that dispise In-N-Out. Nothing is as fresh as In-N-Out.
Thinkin' Man | 9:08 a.m. Aug. 11, 2009
An In-N-Out burger is no less healthy than a similar meal cooked at home. This "fast food" doesn't have the artificial ingredients found at the big guys.
Centerville | 9:40 a.m. Aug. 11, 2009
I am from Soouthern California and have been waiting for them to finally pull their heads out and start expanding here. I like the new Tony Burgers by the Wal Mart. But...i can taste it now and cant wait! I am going to get even fatter and enjoy it!
Riverton | 10:06 a.m. Aug. 11, 2009
12600 South and Bangerter Hwy.
Kathy Koenig | 10:49 a.m. Aug. 11, 2009
Just one request from In-N-Out: Please keep it pure Southern California style. Please, please, NO Fry Sauce!!! That's for those cheap imitations!
Cant' wait | 11:03 a.m. Aug. 11, 2009
The one in Orem has me salivating right now. But, we are going to see serious traffic jams over there.
Go North My Good Man | 11:10 a.m. Aug. 11, 2009
Let's face it folks, the best burger in Utah is at the Burger Bar. In fact it is probably the best burger any where. That aside I am excited for In and Out to get here. Good product at a good pice.
About Time! | 11:42 a.m. Aug. 11, 2009
There is no need for fry sauce when there is a chocolate shake involved in the mix. MMM I wish they would have brought it to Orem sooner. They bring it to my city and I move farther away from California. I guess I have yet another reason to visit home! and ewww to the person that suggested jack in the box
YUMYUMYUM | 12:01 p.m. Aug. 11, 2009
Anyone know when the one in American Fork is opening? I thought it was going to be in August but it hasn't started being built yet.
Tonyburgers in Centerville  | 12:03 p.m. Aug. 11, 2009
Tonyburgers has been put on notice: You will be out of business shortly. First, your prices are ridiculously high and not in line with other competing burger places. Secondly, In-n-Out has the corporate muscle and name brand to steamroll you into submission. It's really too bad cuz I like Tonyburgers, but to feed my wife and I is 20 bucks, compared to more like 15 at I/O. Welcome to the C-Ville In-n-Out, I think this is a great thing for No. Utah.
Kathleen Hunter | 12:17 p.m. Aug. 11, 2009
What they really need to do it put one in Pocatello and Boise Idaho. They are the very best burger in the world. I really miss California for that reason. The best burger and fries. Almost worth a trip to Utah just to get one. But you better beleive that when the one in orem opens there will be people here that will make an excuse to go there because of In-n-Out. I know them well. Even know someone that would open on here if they would let them use the franchise.
SLC gal | 12:24 p.m. Aug. 11, 2009
I've eaten at the one in St. George. Good stuff!!! Now bring on Popeye's!!!!!!!
PC Livin | 12:39 p.m. Aug. 11, 2009
Overrated - Five guys and Fries are MUCH better!
People.... | 12:45 p.m. Aug. 11, 2009
B - 5 Guys is not a copy of In n Out. It has been around for years and is a eastern chain.

Take Cash = racist

Kathy K... they won't do fry sauce but as with the ones in cali you can always ask for burger sauce and they will give you a packet to put on your fries
dave | 12:53 p.m. Aug. 11, 2009
Tonyburgers in Centerville has a better burger than in n out, but unless they drop their price, they will be heading out of business...
SLC gal....i think i love you | 12:56 p.m. Aug. 11, 2009
It's all about the Popeye's
Marsha | 1:49 p.m. Aug. 11, 2009
You are right! I would totally make an excuse for a Road Trip to get one! I didn't truly appreciate their goodness until I moved from California, although I liked them then. Last summer we went there about 6 times in four days! We fed a family of 6 for about 20 bucks! Woohoo! Idaho isn't too far away from Utah and I go there anyways....I would still make an excuse. I do have to admit I haven't ever tried the Animal Style. I may have to just because! Besides, I LOVE THEIR FRESH FRIES!
John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt | 3:52 p.m. Aug. 11, 2009
YEEAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Overrated | 5:09 p.m. Aug. 11, 2009
Sorry, but In N Out is probably the most overrated burger out there. Why is everyone excited? Just trying to relive the memories of the So. Cal trip?
5 GUYS | 6:39 p.m. Aug. 11, 2009
5 guys are so much better
Anonymous | 8:33 p.m. Aug. 11, 2009
Huntsman officially resigns, sworn in as ambassador........ man O man that article only recieved 4 comments, and this one about burgers recieves 38. Welcome to Utah home of the GUT....

Pathetic
Robbie | 9:03 p.m. Aug. 11, 2009
comparing In-N-Out Burger to anyone else is really unfair, as everyone else uses frozen meat to start with. Try it for yourself when they open, fresh does make a difference, and you can taste it. I am glad they are coming and hope they give all of the competition a run for their money!
TucsonUte | 9:18 p.m. Aug. 11, 2009
While In-N-Out is a decent burger it can't compare to my Utah favs: Crown Burger, Hires, Training Table, Artic Circle or Stone Drug in Spanish Fork. Sure In-N-Out will make their money like every other market the have entered but I have a feeling it will be a bit tougher in the Beehive State. Why? Because Utah is a place of great hamburger joints. Another thing is their weak shakes can't compare to what you can get in every mom and pop drive-in around Utah. There fries are turn to rubbish in less than five minutes.
SJ Bobkins | 9:21 p.m. Aug. 11, 2009
Rejoice Saints, the great burger has discovered "the place". In AZ we have had them for maybe 6 or 7 years, since they're opening, I haven't made any MCDonald, Burger King, or other chain burger stops. Nothing is frozen, not even the fries which are cut in front of you. The kids working there are many levels above the typical fast food worker in friendliness, attitude, and appearance and the restaurants are spotless. Outside of the BIG H at Hires, In-n-Out is the best. For many years it has been family tradition that every time my family flies into SLC we hit The Big H, and then get a shake at the Iceberg. SLC is very lucky to have these two business's. But for a chain IN-N-Out os the very best.
CommonSense | 8:30 a.m. Aug. 12, 2009
Five Guys is the best???? Then folks, you have NO taste. If you love greasy over-priced crapola served by greasy over-paid workers, then "enjoy" Five Guys and "enjoy" the colon problems.
In-N-Out is simple, refreshing, CLEAN(something NO restaurant in Utah can manage), tasty, affordable, better than the truly nasty Arctic Circle(I'd rather eat Burger King than A/C and that's pathetic), has frsh CLEAN ingredients(also something lacking in Utah restaurants).
Glad to see the Snyder Family moving into Utah-finally. Now if we could only get a couple of Jack-in-the-Cracks we would be living the high life, instead of having to "settle".
I do agree that Crown Burger seems to be far better than their so-called "competitors" like Five Guys(crap), Apollo(dumpy), Arctic Circle(a gathering of parolees and inbreds) and the worst of the worst Hires-Big H what a dump, lousy food, lousy staff.
re: tusconute | 10:46 a.m. Aug. 12, 2009
comparing i and o to artic circle is just plain disturbing!!!
John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt | 11:37 a.m. Aug. 12, 2009
In N Out Burger is not only the best burger but a great corporate citizen and pay their employees a nice wage. The 5 I have been to have exceptionally polite service.
not that good | 12:02 p.m. Aug. 12, 2009
I went to the in n out in vegas, and geeze, whats all the fuss about. It was like any other normal burger place, actually, I thought burger king was better, or carls jr. They arent as good as everyone thinks
Ken adams | 9:20 p.m. Aug. 12, 2009
Tonyburgers kills in n out, and five guys.
Paul Strathman | 9:43 p.m. Aug. 12, 2009
Five Guys is good but simply WAAAY too overpriced. I'm vacationing in So. Cal. now (my old hometown) and have visited daily for that oh so fresh burger with an honest to goodness thick SLICE of onion on it. Gonna hate to go back to St. Louis.
Regina | 4:33 p.m. Aug. 13, 2009
Tonyburgers is not only better, but local. That's their only location and our family loves it. Maybe the crowds will die down now with I-n-o coming to town
Dawn | 6:07 p.m. Aug. 13, 2009
I agree, TonyBurgers is so good, their burgers are awesome and so are their shakes and salads.
