GF and I went to Epic Saturday evening before Indiana Jones (I recommend that as well). We both got the "Epic Burger" with cheddar (small upcharge), and chose egg bun over wheat, and raw onions over grilled. We shared a bag of fries and a chocolate shake. The burgers were delicious, juicy and cooked a perfect medium [edit: David said that unless you specify, they will cook the burger medium-well]. The shakes are made with Swiss Gourmet ice cream (you can also get them with yogurt) and tasty-thick. Fries were hand-cut and quite good, not greasy and not overly crispy either.
All in all, quite good. I can't compare it to In-N-Out since I've never been to one, but GF says it's pretty similar but Epic has better quality ingredients. We spoke with the owner, David Friedman, and he told us that he uses Coleman beef from Colorado.
Ambience is quaint and cheery, with orange plastic chairs and formica-top tables. There is a flat-panel TV to watch sports if one chooses (Cubs were on when we were there). It's a very clean place, which I always appreciate. Yes, it's more expensive, but quality ingredients make it a good deal, IMHO.
Check it out, y'all!

Homer: Are you saying you're never going to eat any animal again? What about bacon? Ham? Pork chops?
Lisa: Dad, those all come from the same animal.
Homer: Heh heh heh. Ooh, yeah, right, Lisa. A wonderful, magical animal.
