Still, there were waits. Is In-N-Out worth it? Readers posting comments on the Westword Facebook page story about the new fast-food joint are divided. Says Jay:
In-N-Out, go home! Who needs a California chain burger?Suggests Matthue:
Anyone who hates on In-N-Out hasn’t had Animal Style fries. If they have had them and still hate, then they also hate puppies and orphans.Adds John:
Haters gonna hate. I’ll simply go and enjoy Animal Style fries and a double double.Counters Kelly:
California-grown here. In-N-Out's fries are TRASH. Smother them in whatever you want, but they suck. Their burgers are bomb, though.Responds Brendan:
Meh. Local burger joints are better. There are some great local restaurants in my neighborhood.Suggests Josh:
Good Times is better. Go back to California if you miss your garage so much.Adds John:
Smashburger is way better. In-N-Out is overrated. Freddy’s crushes all of them.Urges Gary:
Keep Colorado like Colorado.Among the local spots that other readers suggest: Park Burger, Crown Burger and the Cherry Cricket. Other homegrown spots including Good Times (Boulder, 1987) and Smashburger (Denver, 2007) got their start here, too, although Freddy's did not.
