Culver's vs. In-N-Out (Tucson: home, live in, best)

[MN-Born-n-Raised]

I like the ketchup at Curver's better. But the mustard is better at Inn and Out Burger (better pepper as well). But the salt is way too salty at Culver's.

If you guys like Culvers, you should try Freddy's They have way better fries. Burgers are like Culver's but I think taste better.

I tried Freddy's on Waddell in Surprise. There are good but not as good as Culver's. They are also more expensive. My shakes were Dairy Queen quality.... Nothing special in that department.

In-N-Out wins for me because they happily accommodate people with food allergies, so my daughter can eat there with us. But if we're going on food alone, In-N-Out still wins. Culvers is way too greasy for me. In-N-Out fries cannot be eaten longer than 10-15 minutes after they're made, though. And yeah, Freddy's has awesome fries. I've heard Five Guys thrown into this debate as well and while they're okay and the fries are decent, no comparison really.

Although I rarely go, Five Guys Burgers area great. Just don't look at the grease on the sack-o-fries.

I'm a bit amazed at the craze over In-n-Out. They are SOOO no big deal. Over salty meat and fries. There isn't anything on the menu over at Culver's that doesn't kick it's butt at In-n-Out frankly. Hard to believe others don't see it that way. Not to mention the menu is vast and well beyond the other's limitations.

Yeh culvers is the best!! better then majority fast food places here in the valley. In n out sucks.. They just add lots of salt to there burger and frys to give it some flavor.. Everytime i eat a burger at in and out i need to drink like a gallon of water afterwords. Thirsty from all the huge amount of salt they use lol..

Yesterday I drove to Culver's and ordered their fries and butter burger with the works, drove down the road and ordered In/Out burger/fries. I haven't eaten a fast food burger in four months. Being a fan of In/Out for 33 years, I would only eat their hamburgers and swore by them. Guess what??? Yesterday, I found the In/Out burger to be salty and the size of the meat patty has decreased, so all I tasted was lettuce, onion, tomato, and salt tasting whatever but no meat taste and the fries were highly salted.

Culvers hamburger in comparison, the meat patty was bigger, you could actually taste the meat, the buttery flavor of the bun, the taste just popped in your mouth. I found In/out fries to be extremely salty. I use very little salt on my food. Culver's fries were hot and you could taste the potato and not the salt.

I ordered a chocolate shake from Culvers' and I am not a shake type of person but it was extremely tasty.

Culver's wins the taste test hands down. Goodbye In & Out.

We walked into the one by the Chandler Mall and about gagged on the smell in there. Not sure if it was someone using funky mop water or if that is the smell of their kitchen...but we walked out.

Haven't tried Culver's yet...but having grown up in California In-n-Out is one of our favorites. They have changed quite a bit over the years though. The patties seem smaller now. I just wish Tommy's would come out here...
