The standard burger doesn't suck, but it just isn't great.
And it's definitely not worth the wait. It simply doesn't
deserve its reputation, IMO. I suppose maybe like Pat's
and/or Geno's.

(I took all of the kids in the entire neighborhood to InO
recently. The oldest (~15) asked if he could order a 10x10.
I said yes. He didn't eat it all himself, but there were no
scraps left 30 minutes later.)

It's just not a great burger. It just isn't. Restaurant-
pack patties and produce, crappy buns (as you say), all
drowned in Secret Sauce.

The one thing I will give them credit for is that the burgers
are smallish and not cater-to-the-fat-**** huge.

I will also give them another thing: They apparently pay
their workers relatively well and also give benefits right
off the bat. And I've never been treated even slighly poorly
at an InO.

I'll take a Tommy's over any of 'em.

So you're going to advertize for a company you don't like?

Uh...So you're gonna keep and wear your Budweiser t-shirt?

That's...not right.
