Since fatburger and Five Guys has been a complete disappointment, (after having IN and OUT), I am curious if anyone else has tried Jakes Wayback burgers yet?

Jake's Wayback burgers? A few locales on Long Island.
Since fatburger and Five Guys has been a complete disappointment, (after having IN and OUT), I am curious if anyone else has tried Jakes Wayback burgers yet?
Fatburger isn't bad their chargrilled taste is good. Five guys is overrated. If someone tries Jakes let us know.
There's another chain .......... Cheese Burger Cheese Burger .......... pretty darn good in my tasteful opinion.
I was always a fan of Five Guys though it'll never live up to the likes of In and Out....I had Fatburger out in AZ and have to say I felt like the burgers were entirely too bland...maybe it was just the location.
All American Burger in Massapequa, THE BEST!
Five Guys is just way too expensive for me... I mean burger and fries with drink for $14 bucks in Manhattan? WOW! But, they have good tasting burger. Never had the Wayback burger and CheBurgerCheBurger is also very good (Palisades Mall, Nyack) :biggrin:
Is In-n-Out that good??? I'm heading to LA tomorrow - going to be going to the In-n-Out in the afternoon to get some shots - and - hopefully a good burger...
I wasn't overly impressed by In-n-Out.

Marc. Order a 4x4 at In and Out. Then overnight it to me in NY.
Yes. Its greasy meat and its that yummy.
(Done CheeburgerCHeeburger, they are also near me. It was OK.)
Have had Cheeburger, FiveGuys, and All American all on Long Island and All American is the best thus far. Thankfully its a 20 minute ride away....
And you know what else? You can't beat a cheeseburger and fries at most greek owner diners on Long Island.
There's a place on Rt 202 in Wilmington DE where the burgers are freakin unbelievably good- I travel 40 minutes to get there from Philly- I give you "The Charcoal Pit":

on the note of ridiculousness, maybe Nick can chime in here but I've been to Phoenix thrice now, and haven't gone to this place...anyone have any idea how good it actually is? I've seen pics of the staff, and let me just say...it looks delicious =P

Not only do I know the owners, I know the butcher that exclusively mixes the meat for their burgers and it is a special mix of lean and fat meat... well, it is amazing... One right down the street from LGA.
Cheeburger Cheeburger is very 'meh' for me. I don't particularly like their buns. About on par with Five Guys in my opinion.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned Shake Shack in Manhattan. Closest I've ever come to In-N-Out without actually being In-N-Out. I think they're just as good in their own way.
They are awesome !!! Good call MarkQuote:

Gotta tell you, for good burgers out here, All American is the one to beat.
actually..screw all of the above...white manna owns.
What? No one mentions Big Mac? Come on, that's got to be the best :tongue:
Steve, unfortunately, not [that] close to the action, and wrong angle :frown: The ONLY thing you may see is a RWY 4 arrival through trees and far away... But they do have outdoor tablesQuote:

There is a Jakes Wayback here in Long Beach in the west end 4 blocks from my house. Went there one afternoon a week ago, absolutely fantastic food. The shakes arent bad either. Kind of has a sawdust joint feel to it minus the sawdust, flat screens, and they serve everything in pie tins.... Just what my cardiologist wants to hear. LMAO
r u talkin bout the shack?
You guys really need a Whataburger up there!
IN-N-Out by a landslide, double/double animal style for me, w/fries and a strawberry shake !

Yep you ever eat there? When I worked in Huntington 10 years ago it was on the Cold Spring side and I never made it that east. Now I drive past there couple times a week and it's always mobbed.
They have a sick chicken biscuit sandwich!Quote:

Yeah, Nick, I think its The Shack. It's alright.
Finally did Jake's wayback, BTW. BEtter than Five Guys, IMHO. Honestly, could be the pairing of the double cheeseburger with a milkshake....
But, In and OUt is still a tough one to beat. Perhaps its the infusion of Jet A that makes the difference.
Oh, Also heard thath te BK California Whopper kicks ass.
A few comments to add. The CheBurgerCheBurger in the Palisades Mall is gone, their is now a Popeyes where they used to be. I have eaten in the one at T5 at JFK around 5 times. The 1st 2 or 3 it was great, but once the newness wore off for me not that special at least for me.Quote:

ShakeShak seemed like a better value and burger and they continue to be my local favorite.

But then I had a big surprise yesterday. Wendy's has just unveiled their new Burger product I guess to compete with 5 Guys, In & Out and the likes, it is called "Dave's Hot & Juicy" and I was actually really impressed. By the far the most delicious Wendy's Burger I have ever tasted and even though I have always liked Wendy's this was the best anything I ever ate their.
So if your a Burger fan or a Wendy's fan or both go give one a try, I think Wendy's just launched a Winner.
