Title: Coming to OKC
Post by: joiei on April 01, 2018, 05:43:31 pm
Looks like OKC gets one first.  At least y'all can stop driving to the DFW to get one.

I wouldn't drive across the street for them, much less to OKC.  I never saw the draw for those.  I had one when I visiting the Bay Area several years ago and was underwhelmed.  Oh well, to each their own I guess.  I'd rather go to Hank's or Fat Guy's.

Different universes.  In-N-Out is like a White Castle....not very good, but sometimes ya just gotta have one....   Dallas has one if the urge ever hits you.  Otherwise, go to Hank's or Lot-A-Burger...

I have both of those within a mile of me.  I wonder how the Lot-a-Burger on North Mingo stays open, then I remember....American Airlines.

But I go to Hanks so much he recognizes my number when I call the order in.

I'm confused.  I this a joke, or are people really excited about a chain fast food place putting a location 90 miles away?

I'd rather see Whitecastle here before In N Out.

OK, I'll vote.   I'd be happy with neither.  I've eaten at both, and just don't understand what the big deal is with either.

I gotta get back to Hank's!   May just do that today!  Thanks for the reminder!

the ONLY gripe I have with Hanks...and it may not really even be valid..is that when I have a craving for a shake or a malt, half the time the shake/malt machine is broken.  My last trip there was that way.  I guess their machine is so old it's becoming hard to get parts for it.

It's just sad that it is a joke...In-N-Out would be a good thing for OKC, and since I am in OKC so much, would be good to get that "fix" once in a while....

It's like Coney Islander....even though they are terrible coney's, sometimes ya just gotta have one of those little gut bombs!!

When I was at OSU, I went to Coney on the strip once or twice a week. (or at least it seemed that way)  When we moved back into Tulsa about three years ago, I was really excited to take my son to the Coney on Peoria. I had built it up pretty solid to him, and we both went in ready to do some damage to some Coneys.  And it was terrible.  I don't know if nostalgia got the better of me or what, but I've never been back.

That is how it has been since at least the early 60's, when I first started going there.  Still, I do have to go back from time to time... it is compelling.  Like In-N-Out and White Castle....

I view it as a "soul cleansing" experience!

Or something....
