I've never been to an In n Out but I did just try griddling patties in mustard and that made for a tasty burger. BTW, I will stan for thin burgers over thick anytime anywhere. A good burger is about texture.
True, but texture is not only one thing. A flattop burger can have a nice "char" on the outside, but it's also not going to be oozing out unctuous juices the way a nice thick burger does.

Is In N Out flame broiled? It had a little bit of a Burger Kingy essence when I had it. A lot better than BK, but definitely some form of commonality in the flavor.
No... It's cooked on a flattop, not over direct flame.

My favorite burger is:

Fresh ground beef 80/20 of good quality (The best I ever had was ground filet mignon tailings)
About 1/3 inch thick hand pattied without much pressure
Can be grilled or cooked on cast iron very hot skillet to sear outside
Medium rare (wife likes them rare)
Good quality fresh bun (or not bun)

Condiments and toppings to include sliced Vidalia onion

That's why you add a sauce

Btw if you are grinding your own burgers and seasoning them in advance, I highly recommend fish sauce as a seasoning

I have a nephew who is a chef in one of the North Dallas suburbs.  He's no big fast-food fan, but he occasionally has a fast-food burger.  His assessment of Whataburger vs. In and Out is that they are both OK and different from each other.  I pressed him on which was better, and he said that neither is objectively better than the other--it just depends on what you like.

I like Heinz 57 so much I use it to make a sloppy joe.  Expensive to do it, but damn good.

I had always heard about how good In N Out burgers were.  So, a few years ago I was in Anaheim for a work conference and my company had In N Out cater an after hours cocktail hour.  I was really disappointed.  I mean, they were fine and I ate a couple but it wasn’t anything special.  Maybe I had just built it up too much in my mind and it wasn’t going to meet that expectation. I don’t remember it being any better than a Dave’s double from Wendy’s (which is a fast food burger I really like).

Same-Same with craft beers.Many times I thought I had procured nectar in the Holy Grail to cascade over my taste buds based on "Reviews" and so called Snobs.Most of the time it fared slightly better than what I imagine Hot Dog Water or a warm Natty Lite to be

As an aside, I unapologetically like fast food.  I know all the reasons I shouldn’t but I do.  I probably eat some type of fast food at least once a week.  Don’t judge me.

Also, I typically like restaurant food over what I make at home.  I just like going out to eat.  My wife and I have never been big bar or nightclub people.  When we have a date night we typically go to a local place and have dinner and couple of drinks.  We actually prefer sitting at the bar rather than the dining room because the bar kind of overlooks the dining room and we can sit there and people watch and catch whatever sporting event is playing on the TVs over the bar.

Then, we will leave there and go to another local place, sit at the bar there, share a dessert, and have a couple of after dinner drinks.  Food is the one of the few things I’m totally ok overpaying for.
That's how I felt about Chick-Fil-A.  When we finally got one by us, I was psyched, had it, could not figure out the hype.  My brother in law makes it a must whenever he travels though.

Well I mean, invariably that's going to be true whenever folks choose to overhype fast food, at least in my opinion.  I don't ever "get" it.  There has never been and I suspect there will never be ANY fast food that lives up to the hype when folks choose to give it some.  It's just fast food.

The Popeyes Chicken Sandwich is a current example.  Folks are actually killing one another over it.

Those most likely to act that way (think Black Friday riots, injuries, deaths) are also the most likely to argue the point that we, humans, aren't merely animals.

Given the fast food caveat, In n Out did live up to it for me.  I wasn't expecting the greatest chicken sandwich Is ever had, just the best fast food one.  It didn't meet that.  Obviously food is a personal taste thing.

Yeah, and my experience with InO was precisely the opposite of yours.  So many people overyhyping it.  So much under-delivered.  Certainly not the best burger I've ever had, and not even the best fast food burger I've ever had.  Not even in the top 5 or 6 to be honest.  As you say taste varies.

I’m a pretty big fan of Chick Fil A.  And I have never seen a Chick Fil A that didn’t do fantastic business. There is a town about 30 minutes from where I live that has 3 of them and it really isn’t a big town at all. I joke that it’s a one Chick Fil A town with 3 Chick Fil A’s. But all three of them are packed all the time.  And any CFA I’ve hit whether it be VA, NC, SC, GA, TN or any place down south is always like that. Drive thru backed up out of the parking lot. Inside is packed.

Their menu and their religious stance I guess just plays in the Bible Belt.  Not to mention they just hire more impressive employees.  They smile, are well groomed, look you in the eye, and actually speak to you. I got my kids a Happy Meal from McDonald’s a couple of weeks ago.  The young guy at the window who gave me my food literally never said a word to me. Handed me one bag, stood there for 10 seconds waiting on the other one without saying anything, finally handed me the other bag, and shut the window.

That will never happen at a CFA.

Chick Fil A does have the best customer  service of any chain,  retail, food etc. I've ever seen and it isn't close.  I don't tend to eat there, my youngest likes or liked it.  Can t keep up w her.

The only enterprises close in terms of large Corp service are Disney, which I hate to admit or Ritz Carlton.   Probably put Hilton's Conrad brand in there along with Mandarin Hotels.
