Well it’s official. Zagat has just announced that In-N-Out is the best Fast Food Burger. Based on a study done with 6100 diners, Zagat has listed the 2009 Fast Food Best Burger as the In-N-Out burger. With their attention to quality and their limited and calculated restaurant locations and the fact that they have such a loyal and vocal following (with t-shirts, hats and happy customers) I’m sure it was a well deserving fast food restaurant. The top 5 “Best Fastfood Burgers” were:
- In-N-Out Burger
- Wendy’s
- Burger King
- McDonald’s
- Whataburger
With locations in California, Nevada and Utah, it’s kind of exciting to see a western states only chain with the coveted Fast Food award. Perhaps this is a great opportunity to mention that In-N-Out is also coming to American Fork, Utah soon:) McDonalds was given the “best fries” award with In-N-Out coming in at third.

I don’t understand the infatuation with In-N-Out. I’ve eaten there 3 or 4 times and have not been too impressed. I must admit that when ordering “Animal Style” the burgers are better, but that’s not saying much. Whenever I eat at In-N-Out, I always come away asking the old question, “Where’s the beef?”
