Don't get your hopes up. It's a good burger for a good price but I wouldn't call it amazing.

>>4409349
This, though I can understand if you can't get fast food like this in Yurop.

Cali has good Mexican food. Keep your eyes open for a taco truck and get yourself a fish taco.

>>4409349
I'm aware that it isnt a quality burger, but compared to its competitors it ought to. Or what?

Try the Asian food. Small mom and pop places not shit like Panda Express.

Where exactly are you going? You know that state is probably bigger than your whole country, right?

>>4409372
I'm fully aware of that, thank you. I'll be staying in Passedina, Culver City and Mision Viejo.

You should go to P.F. Changs. The food prices are very cheap there, and very delicious.

for Culver City
Cool Haus
A-Frame
could probably find a Kogi Truck in the area

I haven't been to Pasadena very much, but I think they have an Umami Burger there

Same situation with Mission Viejo, but if you're willing to drive, there's some good food in Irvine or Costa Mesa

>>4409355
In N Out is good compared to fast food class restaurants (think McDonalds, Burger King, Carls. Jr), but it loses out to sit down class restaurants like BJ's, Chile's, Fuddruckers, Red Robin, Tommy's, etc.

Out of those places I mentioned, my favorite is Tommy's, so I recommend you try it if it's in the area your visiting.

Seconded.

In-N-Out is great for what it is. I thought the prices were cheap (comparable to McDonald's), and the food seemed honest and fresh. It wasn't trying to be gourmet. It's just a classic burger and fries. Nothing more or less.

I think the appeal is, "Why go to McDonald's when I can pay the same price at In-N-Out and have better food and service?"

To make matters worse, the big chains hire the absolute dredges of society. They hire warm bodies that will do the minimum of their job description, and pay them a minimum wage. That's the only reason I need to not eat fast food.

If a good, honest, hard-working Christian family opened a McDonald's nearby with the promise of improving service, and relying less on the heat lamps and food warmers, then I'd probably eat at McDonald's occasionally. The food's seriously not that bad if you go to a good one.

>>4409349
If you're heading to LA go have a hot dog from one of those mexician carts, they make greasy stuff but its godly

>>4409675
>he food's seriously not that bad if you go to a good one.

The one nearby always (always) has the freshest shit available when I go. Their burgers are never dry pieces of shit and their fries are always steaming and fresh.
It's the only McDonalds I go to

I went to a mcdonalds in new jersey. All white english speaking staff. Best service I ever recieved.

>>4409824

godtier fast food right there

I'll give a nod to Red Robin. I go there whenever I want a step up from In-N-Out and or when it's happy hour.

Fish taco. Cheap and an easy bucket list tick.

>>4409824
>>4409854
You're 'I have the munchies' or 'it's 2 am and no one else is open' tier.

>>4409685
But be ready if you have a weak stomach because your anus is gonna want mercy.

if in LA, go to JR'S BBQ, Bludson's BBQ, Animal, IN'n'out, astro burger and sky tacos.

Farmer Boys is awesome too.

>>4409438
>geographically clueless

That's a hilarious thing for an american to say to anyone else.

>fully aware of that
>clueless

Makes sense. Faggot.

The French Laundry.

/thread

sup eurotrash. have you ever seen those pictures of carne asada fries on /ck/? thats a GODTIER item you want to get after a night out of drinking and clubbing. In-N-Out is also a good choice. It truly is better than 5 guys in my opinion, but hey youre on vacay i assume, try them both! Red Robin is also a good place for burgers. theyre supposed to be famous for their selection but i dunno, its just above average to me. hope you have fun in murrika

>>4409987
>bacon on a burger
Looks good otherwise.

Roscoes. But prepare to stick out like a sore thumb.

>>4409377
pita jungle in pasadena

>>4410053
You a muslim or what?

You missed out on the best burger ever.

Carl's Jr. Six Dollar Portebello Mushroom burger

That burger was amazing.

>>4409377
>Culver City
sooooo much ethnic food along venice blvd and along that area
cuban,ethopean, botswanian, finnish, canadian, venezualan, cajun, russian, tiawanese etc etc etc

for quality american tacos, go to the tacoshop "tito's tacos" super famous. for good mexican tacos go to any other taqueria.

Rallys burgers is amazing greasy fastfood, they have a menu thats like 2 awesome items from small chillicheese dogs $2, two fo $3 deals, $4 deals, 2 bacon double chillie swisscheese burger for $6 deals...

along venice blvd there was this taqueria that sold a 3lb burrito for 8dollars flat. i think its like all the extra bad cuts of everything, but its great for when you havent eaten all day... fuckers give me like 2 cups of salsa to go with it. not those little plastic cup things, but like actual 8oz cup

honestly id say skip fastfood all together.. aside from in-and-out just to let you know what fastfood can be like without all the msg and crap... but even then the line there is soo long it is NOT fast food

mom and pop shops are always super kickass in california

>>4410009
>HURR UR A FAGGOT
Great point, shiteater.

>>4409675
>I thought the prices were cheap (comparable to McDonald's
mcdonalds double cheeseburge $1
in and out cheeseburger $3
and theyre both the same fucking siZE

in n out (just because it's obligatory for any tourist)
california burrito and/or carne asada fries from an albertos or albertos rip off
hole in the wall mexican restaurant
isn't tito's tacos in culver city? people go all crazy over those

>>4409475
You're a funny guy.

>>4410026
>doesn't have bacon or fresh jalapenos
>better than Five Guys

Nope.

Carne Asada Fries. California's Poutine

In N Out is good, by far the best for fast food. It's not the best I've ever had, but it's cheap and very very good (everything is pretty much fresh). Although if I had to recommend a time, go somewhere in the afternoon at like 1pm-3pm, it's packed the entire day otherwise. It's always the busiest from 5-10pm.

Adalberto's is a great Mexican place with about 10 locations if you are going to the Sacramento area, theres plenty of Adalberto's rip offs too though, while all might not be bad, I've been to some that were bad as compared to the 4 different Adalberto I've went to they are all good. Besides, theres plenty of normal good Mexican restaurants around here that it's hard to look for a particular one. Just look up the ones nearest to where you are going and check ratings/reviews and you are bound to find a few that people like. Also, taco trucks are plentiful and can be worth trying too since they can be good also. >>4409377 Can't really recommend anything else though, live alot further north. But yeah just make sure you get some Mexican food, it would be stupid to pass up the opportunity while here. I mean there's lots of other food thats good here but Mexican is probably the best in this state.

>>4410336
>was

I believe that's been on the menu indefinitely for two years. Unfortunately, the six dollar jalapeño burger is no longer offered.

>>4410053
Your comment does not follow.

>>4410571
this. but you really won't find it north of LA.

>>4409343

In-n-out is good, because it resembles local non-chain burger joints. For a good cheeseburger and fries, no-one can really compete against In-n-out in large chains. However, all chains are usually inferior to local burger joints, because local burger joints usually get their meat from local smallish farming communities. So, if the choice is between a local burger joint and In-n-out, choose the local joint. If the choice is between In-n-out and any other chain burgers, choose In-n-out.

Since you'll be in California, head to the coastline and look for fish markets. They'll usually have sushi or steak shops located nearby that get all their produce fresh from the fishermen. It'll be expensive, but properly cut, cooked, or prepared fresh fish is worth its weight in gold.

Also, please understand that eating our freedom fries or cheeseburgers makes you an American by proxy. If that doesn't sit well with you, you'll need to finish off the cheeseburger with a shot of communist vodka. You'll get a bit of gas from the force annihilation, but you'll be back to being a Eurofag.

in-n-out is awesome, but I'd recommend reading-up on the menu to really get what you want from there.

>>4409343
It's shit. Better than mcd's, but still greasy, drippy, american cheesed soggy fried shit.

Find some good hole-in-the-wall burger joints/vietnemese sandwich shops.

OPhere.

Thank you all for the recomendations! It's much appreciated!

>>4409372
>You know that state is probably bigger than your whole country, right?
why would you even post that m8?

>>4409377
>Mision Viejo.
Go to Big Grill Mongolian BBQ. It's a damn quality AYCE place.

>>4412189
asking about "california" is really vague. I mean the difference between San Francisco, California and San Diego, California is huge and they are only hours apart. California is one of the larger states.
>Anyway
Nathans hot dogs are good
If barbeque isn't readily available where you live, I would try a few places. Most have sandwiches that are good but ribs are where its at.

avoid mcdonalds if possible, but I ate it when I was in cali

If you have time, drive to vegas. Even 2 days in vegas is dope and if you go to east vegas at night, by the stratosphere hotel there is a gas station and a liqour store across the street, you can get drugs really easily. Just ask someone for drugs.

You should visit Jake's Burger Shack located in Old Town Pasadena.

Piss off British cunt, we kicked your ass 300 years ago, we'll do it again. It's bad enough with Piers Morgans, if you're not going to call yourself an American, be pro-gun and pro-constitution, and join the Republic, then you can stay out of the best country in the world.

Ruby's diner

The one in orange county, not the balboa pier location, the other one, is the best. but they are all good

except the pensylvania location, it sucks balls.

>>4409824
>There is one Taco Bell in the whole of the UK
>went to it once on an impulse when I was in the area
>literally the worst food I've ever tasted

I visited Cali and tried In n Out

I might consider flying back just for it.

>animal style burger with well done animal style fries please

>>4412313
Go to Texas instead. Much better people and cities (except Austin). There are about a dozen stores opened now.

>>4412322
>texans inserting themselves into every conversation that has nothing to do with them

Why don't you guys secede already?

Are you going to the bay area or los angeles?

make sure you find one of these

>>4412333
>has nothing to do with them
Except the dozen In-n-Out's that are here.

>secede
If only.

>>4412367
I remember seeing videos of opening days. drivethru lines a mile long. I hope they expand to the east coast before I die of old age.

>mfw i've only been to in-n-out once and have lived 3 blocks away from it for 9 years

Really isn't that big of a deal.

>>4412384
Sure beats the shit out of the usual big chain joints.

Archibald's is pretty damn good too.

go to chronic taco

Pinks for hot dogs

The Nosh for Pastrami

If you're anywhere near LA or Santa Barbara, go to The Habit. It's sort of a chain now. It's way better than In-N-Out to say the least.

Do yourself a favor and acquaint yourself with the In-n-Out secret menu.

Also try Carl's Junior and Skittles

>>4410053

Where the hell are you from?

I am not sure about chains but find some place that sells tacos, even better if they have good fish tacos.

Southern California also has a lot of really good sushi places.

be careful about in and out

i went there on vacation to california and threw up after
