    replying to u/Epic_Finance: Petey’s in Astoria

    “Petey's doesn't really scratch the same itch for me. It's more expensive and the patties are substantially thicker. Most importantly, they can't do an animal style burger, which is the best item at In-n-Out. Their fries are very good though, substantially better than the starchy abominations at In-n-Out.”

    replying to u/SoothedSnakePlant: This is an injustice to In N Out,. I've lived next to Petey's for years, and thought it was terrible for years. Their fries are good and I'll walk in and do am order of fries to go occasionally, but that is IT.

    “Excellent greasy burgers.”

    replying to u/charcoalist: Petey's is awful. Maybe a step above McDonald's but not as good as any number of options around NYC.

    replying to u/As_algorithm: I've had Petey's and wasn't impressed. [Paper Plate](https://paperplatenyc.com/) has the same branding as In-N-Out, but I was also not impressed. Tried Flip Sigi based on another Reddit thread, wasn't impressed; looks like they're permanently closed? One I haven't tried yet is [Blue Collar](https://www.eatbluecollar.com/menu/). Pet peeve of mine when people suggest Shake Shack or anything else; they look and taste wildly different. I'm partially convinced an In-N-Out dupe does not exist :( because everyone here uses a potato bun, the produce isn't the same level, too much meat, lack of animal sauce, etc. Good luck and hopefully you find something!!!

    replying to u/thecakeisalie9: I see you are in Astoria, you have to try Petey’s burger in LIC. Best burger I ever had.

    “The burger was good!”

    replying to u/isatsan: Ahhh I love this question. Off the top of my head I’d say Petey’s (3.7 for my local location). I think people overlook it because it’s a basic smash burger but people who know, know. I’d take a Petey’s Patty Melt over a [insert popular chain name here] any day!
