Kroger and Albertsons in talks of a merger

Here, I'm about five minutes from Five Guys, which is our reasonable facsimile of In-N-Out.
It has been a long time since I've been to In-N-Out though. It may have declined.
So far, Five Guys has focused more on maintaining quality rather than keeping price down.

Other than both selling hamburgers and fries, there are few similarities between Five Guys and In-N-Out.
Please elaborate. I'd like to know.
Does Five Guys have a drive-through? Start there.
I've had both and in my opinion, Five Guys burgers and shakes are better. Not really a fan of fries, but I know In N Out seasons theirs and I don't think Five Guys does.
A key point in favor of In-N-Out is they apparently are still not franchising. It appears their expansion to Tennessee will be supplied by their Dallas TX meat warehouse. On a good day Five Guys burger is excellent, but so is In-N-Out (as I remember).
Eventually there is an obligation to check out Shake Shack. Probably need to drive up to NYC area for the full experience. Could also listen to NYC radio over-the-air.
Kelly A- Five Guys is expensive. That is a fact.

There are many: Differences right off the bat including:
* Five Guys has customized choices in how you want a burger built. Five Guys offer multiple patties, an array of condiments, etc. the customer chooses from. In-N-Out has three choices of burgers, (Double-Double, Cheeseburger, Hamburger), and only the Double-Double has two patties. At In-N-Out, you get the condiments that come on the burger. Personally, I prefer In-N-Out because the quality of the burger is more consistent and less greasy than Five Guys.
* In-N-Out offers shoestring fries, whereas Five Guys has thicker natural-cut fries in large volumes by comparison.
* Five Guys is crazy expensive by comparison. I had a rare lunch at Five Guys the other day, and it cost over $22 for a single with cheese, small fries and a Coke. In-N-Out you can get the same for less than $15.
I recall a moment when KLVE in LA had a visit from Mexican artist Fehr from the Maná group. We assigned to members of the promo staff to pick him up to come to the station in limo. He "demanded" to be taken to In-N-Out on his way!
There is a mystique surrounding those burgers!

The In-N-Out menu is short and simple: double or single cheeseburger, plain burger, fries, shakes, soft drinks. And you can ask for Animal Style. That's about it.
There's an extensive (yet unknown to many...) hidden menu for I-n-O.
The In-N-Out Secret Menu Items You Never Knew Existed
In-N-Out's classic menu may only offer burgers and fries, but the loyal In-N-Out fanbase has created a menu all its own. Find out all the secret menu items you can order right from the drive-thru, from animal style fries to Lemon-Up sodas.
Great idea. I went to one today for lunch. The burger is more like In-N-Out. Kind of a smash burger. Wrapped in paper, not aluminum. But I got the Korean BBQ Burger. They don't offer such a choice at either Five Guys or In-N-Out. The fries are crinkle cut, once again different from the other two. I say why pick one or the other?
Was waiting for my train home and stopped by the Shake Shack at Union Station in D.C. Was pretty underwhelmed by the price verses the size of the burger. If they served that little burger in Boston, it would have been considered a 'slider'.
You should have ordered the double. That's why I said it was comparable to In-N-Out, not Five Guys.
Five Guys is bigger, taller, and juicier. Also sloppier.
In-N-Out's single cheese is at least 25% larger in diameter than the Shake Shack single burger I had the other day. But noted that I'll try the double next time.
And the most expensive.
Shake Shack was quicker than Five Guys. Neither of them have drive-thru, although I see some Shake Shacks have them:

Very unlikely that the one in Union Station will get a drive-thru, given the location.
Shake Shack drive-thrus are coming
The chain's first-ever drive-thru opens next week, with nine more to follow.

True, but the one in Union Station was still very busy. Like me, lots of people waiting for their train.
My wife and I used to enjoy Five Guys, but after the pandemic they jacked up their prices about 40%. Another issue is that even the small order of fries is expensive, and is way too big for both of us to finish off.
Shake Shack is really good, but I’m starting to have an issue with the small burger size for the price.

I have never ordered the fries because I could never finish the burger if I also had fries. On the other hand, Shake Shack & fries was perfect. Although next time I'll try the double and no fries.
You're making me hungry. Unfortunately no In-N-Out Burger around these parts, but there are Five Guys in every strip mall. Get my grease, salt, and starch quota for the week.
