Culvers hands down. Well, Ive never been to in and out, but I would rather wait 5-7 mins at my table for a DELISH burger than get it right away... and at culvers they're thick and cheesy and tasty and YUM. They have a lot of them in Michigan.

This is like comparing mcdons to a nice steak house sit down place.

No comparison.

In-N-Out Burger is 1000 times better than Culvers!!! Culvers has good ice cream, but their burgers are pretty boring. Give me an in-n-out burger with double cheese, and grilled onions ANYDAY! Plus, I mean, who doesn't love the fact that if you tell them you're eating in the car, they put it in the little half box, and leave the sandwich half unwrapped for you??!?

Sure wish their were Runza's around here (native to the Midwest). Thus, my vote was cast in the 'other' category.

As far as the comparison, (culvers vs. in-n-out) it cannot be made. Culvers has a huge menu, and isn't marketed to be cheap fast food, unlike in-n-out. If you have to go to one of the former, choose culvers. The ol' saying is true, you really get what you pay for.
This is crazeee talk!!

To be fair to Culver's. I've been there once. It was very good. But to say there's no comparison? Oh, noes...

There isnt a comparison. It's seriously like comparing ramen noodles to Olive Garden or something.. I mean c'mon!

They should have more Culvers here... particularly in Scottsdale..

So get on it!

I like In N Out once in a while but I've to agree, their meat by itself is not tasty at all and kinda small hence the sorta cheap combo price. I also find their meat undercooked so I always tell tell to make it welldone.

I make pretty good meatball/hamburgers at home but often too lazy to (especially for myself). When I make 'em, I use half Turkish ingredients half my own experimental stuff (could come out zesty, spicey or hot) depending on my mood. Everyone who had my tasty balls was very satisfied (think Alec Baldwin's
Schweddy Balls
skit from SNL). lol

Nah, I like their fries but for the soggy part, I also get them welldone, they already have enough salt as it is.
I just wished, fries had skin on, I love fries with skin!!
