In-N-Out is the best burger joint around these parts, though I’ve lost my taste for their fries. It seems like very few places cook their freedom fries enough for me any more. They just seem limp and soggy. But a double double with cheese and a double helping of grilled onions is a heck of an experience.
There hasn’t been a good fast food French fry since the late lamented Wuv’s chain went belly-up in 1991. All fries cut from fresh Russets and put right into the fryer. Never a frozen potato.
Ask for the fries “crispy” and they WILL do it for you!
Specify a little extra - or extra extra. They will fry them up.
Fresh potatoes in pure canola oil.
I have not been to INNO but I can now understand their fans. The fries are a big part of it.
I did not believe the ravings from folks about Five Guys Burger and Fries.
Till I pulled into the one in Mesquite, Texas.
I have not had a simple burger and fries w ice tea like that since I was about 9 or 10 in a home-made burger joint in Louisiana.
Now I get it.

They are probably fresh cut. Fresh cut fries are never as good as frozen. Even if I cut my own fries, I soak them in water, then freeze them. The ice on/in a frozen fry really activates the cooking oil and gives you a crisp, airy fry. A freshly cut and fried fry is like you say--limp and soggy.
