Hell yeah, they make one tasty burger.

I get it, because I'm pretty stoked about concord Popeyes. Which, for those uninitiated, half of their traditional charm is they will fuck up your order. Which probably won't be seen as part of the charm around here.
But there are so many people around here. Some with money, some with taste. Some with culture, some just bored. Wtf is everything 'new' to new Hampshire just am infiltration of strip mall bullshit that kinda sucks and costs too much for what it is but we heard about it?

Wake me up when In-N-Out breaks ground.

That might be a possibility. They’re finally expanding east of Texas with restaurants opening in the Nashville area by 2026, and they’ve said they’ll probably expand further than that.
Centinel_was_right t1_jdk9vnx wrote
I read about that. Can't fault them for being methodical, I can wait/move to Tennessee.

Honestly I've had In N' Out and it's okay but nothing to go crazy over IMO.
The burgers at Dairy Queen are actually really similar.

I don’t know if the ellipses are supposed to mean sarcasm, and I’ve got no stake in Shake Shack, but the two things you mentioned sound very delicious.

I've been to the one in Burlington MA a few times, and I probably won't go again. Super expensive, burgers aren't that great, and the service is incredibly slow.

Isn’t this just mid-west highway rest stop trash?
Edit: I’m thinking of Steak N Shake. What is this and why is it better than a local ice cream shop?
dingohoarder t1_jdkv54s wrote
Mid-n-Out. I’d put it below 5 guys honestly I’ve had it a few times now and have never understood the hype

Just moved back from LA. I need this.
AlexTheTolerable OP t1_jdkvgo4 wrote
Shake Shack is essentially the East Coast version of In N Out. They have good, simple burgers and really good milkshakes
PowPowPowerCrystal t1_jdkwawq wrote
So basically 5 Guys?
AlexTheTolerable OP t1_jdkweem wrote
Think Five Guys but cleaner and with beer
lightsblindfan t1_jdkxjf7 wrote
believe it or not the BEST burgers are Chilli’s

Nothing, even Shake Shack, will be enough for me to navigate 28 in Salem voluntarily
Grew up in the area and every time I return I have an existential crisis by the time I hit the 39th stoplight

I remember waiting in line for the Peabody sonic back in 07(maybe 08) as just a youngin it was 2 hours long.
Spicehawk86 t1_jdl0zfv wrote
Five guys and shake shack are both better then In-N-Out. Not even close. Same can’t be said Culver’s.
exhaustedretailwench t1_jdl8z9n wrote
there really should be a sarcasm font, but until then I'll just type like sarcastic Spongebob to get the point across.
meanwhile, love a blood-orange lemonade. Panera used to have one but ditched it.
Emeleigh_Rose t1_jdly5al wrote
Same here. I moved here from California and miss In-N-Out so much.
bubbynee t1_jdlz7nc wrote
From PHX and I remembered when In n' out first got there. There were LONG lines. I went after the hype died done. They were good, but definitely not worth a crazy wait. I would put them a step above McD and BK, maybe a little ahead of Wendy's and a step below Five Guys.

There was a Popeyes in Plaistow many decades ago
scajjr29 t1_jdm49n8 wrote
Same. Live 15 miles east of Salem, take back roads in whenever I have to go. Avoid 28 like the plague.

I can't handle going to Salem NH. Fuck that town.

We grew up on in-n-out and my whole family likes Shake shack more

NHiker469 t1_jdnep2v wrote
In N Out is so mediocre it’s not even funny. I’ve never left there and been like, “yea, that was so good”. Never.
Shake shack on the other hand, is dank AF.
NHiker469 t1_jdnhbp7 wrote
Yup. In our is just mediocre at best.
BiffWiff t1_jdnn9s6 wrote
Absolutely, Dairy Queen is even better, in n out is worse than McDonald’s. Absolute fucking trash. Cut your tongue off if you like that garbage.
BiffWiff t1_jdnnr9x wrote
In n out is basically McDonalds

Salem here! Stoked!!

Culver's was barely a half step above mcd

Last time I went to Chillis half my steak was a blood clot, never again.
Dave___Hester t1_jdo3zoa wrote
It's a step above Wendy's. Not bad at all, I like both, but it's not even close to being as good as some people say.

Smothered, covered, scattered, and chunked. But we're on the wrong side of the Mason-Dixon line. Sorry, I don't make the rules.

In-N-Out is garbage. Shake Shack is much better.

What's the alternative though? There's not a big city in NH so it's not going to get a lot of the upscale chains. If something that's not a chain opens here, it's not a recognized brand "coming to NH", it's just a new business in NH. As for strip malls, it's a rural state, so most of your brick and mortar consumer businesses open in strip malls.

I lived two blocks from a Shake Shack for five years.
My experience was eating it enough times in the first week of living there that I got sick of it and didn't have it again for like three years.
It is good though.
ThunderySleep t1_jdoryv9 wrote
I thought Shake Shack was a lot better than five guys. Never had the other two though.
ThunderySleep t1_jdos7wh wrote
I ate it a bunch in a short span when I moved near one once. It was delicious, but greasy enough I got sick of it quick, then didn't go again for a few years. When I finally did, it was the price that kept me away.
FruityRogelio t1_jdosbog wrote
I was more talking about alternatives to chains in general. One of the best restaurants in concord, for instance, is situated exactly in a strip mall. An og strip mall from the dawn of strip malls. Kathmandu bazaar is an ethnic grocery with a food counter. Place is amazing. I want more of that. Not FoodCorp's latest territorial infiltration, if that makes sense. This state is devoid of really worthwhile food. I drive an hour an half routinely to try shit because maybe there's Caribbean in Claremont. Getting giddy for new fast food is icky, imo. That said, I am stoked for popeyes
ThunderySleep t1_jdosq4v wrote
Shake Shack's more like your fancy/hipster fast food burgers. Tasty, but expensive and greasy. Kind of like a chain version of what Lexie's is. (yes, I know Lexie's has multiple locations)
ThunderySleep t1_jdox1zc wrote
If it's not a chain, then it's not "Thing you've heard of is coming to New Hampshire!", it's just "New thing opens!".
And I'm with you on the state's food situation. You can find good food, but you have to look a little harder for it. The big offense to me is how much people will overpraise the completely unremarkable stuff.
