MINIDRVR Posted June 18, 2007 #126 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Johnny Rockets food is never really that good on land why would putting it on a ship make a difference..........fries have always been served cold, hamburgers are nothing to write home about......that only good thing is grilled cheese sandwich......I suppose their malts and shakes are good but prices seem a little high for me.....the dancing is a novelty, only thing really going for it cause it's fun.......... Now if you want a great burger, fries, etc. find ya a Backyard Burger...... We just had one open up here and it's going to run the other burger joints out of business cause they have great food. Oh, and the chicken tenders are wonderful as well......fries, hot and seasoned:D plus they have waffle fries (haven't tried them yet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MINIDRVR Posted June 18, 2007 #129 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Parrothead8 if you do go to BY Burger it is really, really busy from the time it opens, 11 AM until around 1:30......so if you do go either go right when it opens or after 1:30.....they do have a really big problem with the drive thru line, it backs all the way up to Easy St and it makes it hard to get in and out of:eek: .........you place your order, take a # that sits on your table and then they have servers who bring it to you.........you won't be disappointed.....and for the Whataburger, understand it has most police calls of any fast food rest.........maybe because the food isn't any good or because it's open 24/7, who knows:eek: Oh we're located in the SE as well, off of SE 17th St near the duck pond.

zuscruiserz Posted June 19, 2007 #132 Share Posted June 19, 2007 No one mentioned the Double Double Protein Style! With a vanilla shake (xtra large) to balance it off! ...and yes, you have to eat the fries when they are hot Double, double protein style with BOTH kinds of onions - yum!! Now you did it, I'm on a diet :( - lol! (and there's one here right by my work - boo hoo). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seaside2358 Posted June 19, 2007 #137 Share Posted June 19, 2007 On our last trip to Vegas in April there was always a line at In-N-Out. We have decided that our next trip in August we are going to eat there. As for Fuddrucker's, YUK! JMHO... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genxian Posted June 19, 2007 #138 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I would like the cruise company to hire a chef to make a great burger, and not charge extra for a "chain restaurant" on the ship. We all know that the cruise lines love providing avenues for us to spend more money. And that isn't always a problem, but I think in the area of food the cruise company should pride themselves on what they prepare, and not have gimmicks like JR. As with many of you, I try to avoid chain restaurants as much as possible in my home town. The local mom and pop places are almost always better. The cruise lines should take that attitude and innovate their food selections for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spongerob Posted June 19, 2007 #140 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Give me a double double animal style and I would eat there every day. Ok a guy can dream right?The absolute best burgers in the world are (were?, it was a while ago) served at the Big T Driving Range and Par 3 golf course in Anaheim. The owner's daughters only made a good thing better. But that double/double has me all hungry now. The closest we've got is Steak & Shake, a fair imitation of In-N-Out but definitely not in the same league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingPhotog Posted June 19, 2007 #141 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I have IN-N-Out any time I'm in a town with one. I love their burgers! I've never had their fries that weren't hot and crispy. My last visit was to the one at LAX airport where you can watch the jumbo jets land right in front of you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree - don't know who the cruise line is listening to when it comes to ideas for venues on board:eek: ......maybe more us need to fill out the comment cards before leaving ship.......guess the guys with the big money don't really get out much to the local hamburger joints and think that's what we really want.....it's like going to a different city and checking out the mall and everything looks the same....why bother.:eek: Oh Parrothead8, I told you it was a good burger.....totally agree about them not having Coke products but The Mug root beer is just lovely for us:) .......... Not sure what the In-n Out burger place is like..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4bythebeach Posted June 19, 2007 #143 Share Posted June 19, 2007 My family and I would certainly enthusiastically vote for In N Out. We are originally from So. Cal and have missed our In N Out here in FL. There is just no other burger joint that compares! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayou cruiser Posted June 19, 2007 #144 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Had my first IN N OUT burger during Spring Break while visiting colleges with my son in SoCal. Can't wait for Aug. to deliver him to college so I can have another burger and shake............YUM! Love JR but In/Out is just as good if not better.

MINIDRVR Posted June 19, 2007 #146 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I plan on checking out the In-n-Out burger web site and send them a note that we "need" one of them here in town.....:D Ok, just sent them the word to come on down and test them there burgers in our part of town.....look forward to hearing from them....

cigal Posted June 19, 2007 #147 Share Posted June 19, 2007 IMHO, You haven't lived 'till you've eaten an In-N-Out burger! I grew up in SoCal but just recently moved to NorCal, and there are NO In-N-Out Burgers nearby :( . I guess I'll have to eat up when I visit family! So if RCCL put In-N-Out onboard, I would just have one more reason to go on a cruise:) No one has mentioned In-N-Out's 4X4s.... My nephew used to eat them before football practice. They are not on the menu - you have to ask for them. As the name suggests, they have four patties and four slices of cheese.:eek: Meat-eaters and hungry teenagers love 'em, but I can't eat that much at one time. A double/double with extra pickles and a shake is heaven on earth for me! If you live in the Midwest - try a Culver's butterburger. Those are the closest things to In-N-Out East of AZ. That's my 2 cents! I love this thread, but now I miss my In-N-Out more:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PennStateForever Posted June 19, 2007 #148 Share Posted June 19, 2007 While I've never had an In-and-Out burger, I've heard they're excellent. That having been said, I think JRs can stay. The onion rings and the ladle-added syrups for Cokes are enough for me. :) I love how as soon as you sit down you're given the half-fries/half-onion rings apetizer. Man, those are good rings. And if you can argue for putting an In and Out burger on the RCI ships, you can make that argument for Five Guys Burgers. For those of you who don't know, 5 Guys is the east coast In and Out Burger (except 5 Guys also has hot dogs on the menu). The burgers are AMAZING... As are the fries. The fries are the quintisential "Fair" fries (like at a county fair). I'd love to see a 5 Guys aboard the RCL ships. :) But I'm content with JRs because of the rings and Cokes. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BPWJR Posted June 20, 2007 #149 Share Posted June 20, 2007 thread got me looking, but can not find one - heading to UC Berkeley this weekend - have one near there anyone know? Lucky that I have to go to Prescott AZ twice a year, and In N Out a required stop; Have a JR here in Daytona Beach and would prefer In N Out on board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisneyBlonde Posted June 20, 2007 #150 Share Posted June 20, 2007 We have a place here is Connecticut called "Tomlinsons" . Known to everyone in the area as "The Greeks" because of the family who owned and operated the place. Are you talking about The Greeks in Milford? I worked at their competition, Paul's, while I was in college. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
