The In-N-Out Burger appears frequently in US Magazine and Star Magazine as photographers snap pics of your favorite stars grabbing some burgers showing they’re “just like you and me”.
I’ve heard good things about these burgers. The restaurants only exist in four states: California, Nevada, Utah and Arizona.
The menu is, and I kid you not, entirely as follows: Hamburger, Cheeseburger, Double Cheeseburger. Fries, Milkshakes and soda.
That’s it.
Their big pitch is they do everything fresh: never frozen burgers, fresh hand cut fries, real ice cream milkshakes…
It was ok. I didn’t really care for it. I do like Carl’s Jr. on the west coast, though I know their deal is different then In-N-Out.
*** UPDATE 8/1/2010 ***
As promised I visited In-N-Out burger again on my most recent trip to Vegas. First, the location closest to UNLV had lines stretching into the street on Saturday afternoon. This was impressive. I did manage to revisit the location I went to the first time and this time I went inside to sit down and have a proper meal.
I ordered a single (I don’t like double or triple burgers) with everything: the sauteed onions, sauce, cheese, lettuce and tomatoes. I also ordered fries animal style and a coke.
Again, the burger and toppings were fresh. Getting the fries animal style provided some healthy insight into what it is I don’t like about In-N-Out burger that it’s devotees do like. I don’t care for the sauce. It is similar to McDonalds Big Mac sauce in composition, but far more savory. McDonald’s sauce on the Big Mac has a certain sweetness to it that I like. It’s missing here.
Don’t get me wrong, I think people who love In-N-Out burgers know what they like and are passionate about it. I did try my burger with some ketchup. I think if I were to try a burger there again I’d get it without the fried onions or the sauce.
So try it and see for yourself if you’re ever out west. Not my cup of tea, but maybe you’ll be swept up in the hysteria.
You are crazy! They are te best burgers on earth
Your fuckin dumb. In-N-Out is the best. Scotts right. your an idiot.
wowwww this guy is an idiott!! In-N-Out is heaven on earth with bugers fries shakes and soda……AAhh-Maaaaa-Zinnngggg!! Yeah umm I dont know what is wrong with his brain but Carl’s Jr. well we all know what Carl’s Jr. is like! HAHA But anyway…..this is a crappy report about In-N-out he probably hasn’t even gone to one. He probably works at Carl’s Jr.!!
Tell me you like In & Out’s fries.
retard!!! carl’s jr. is nothing compared to in-n-out!!!
Now, this is a well thought out retort to the original post.
Than’t like saying “I’d never have sex again with a super Model, she couldn’t keep up intelectualy. all she could say is (no kidding) Ooooo, Haaa, and OMG!!”. “I perfer drunk beer goggle last call bar chicks, or better yet, crack whores”crack whores.
all of the above is true but the last one cuz i dont think it fucken made sense. i dont think hes ever even eaten at in-n-out.

Jake- read your article and not surprised by your article or the responses. No offense to Carl’s Jr. as there food, especially the western, is good for fast food, but In N out is simply extraordinary at the traditional burger, and something more than fast food. In N out is legendary, especially in So Cal. Many times we would take out of town guests to In N out and they would have the same reaction and we would always be stumped as to why they were not moving to So Cal just so they could eat at In N out. What we found is that a lot of people, for whatever reason, do not seem to understand In N out until the second time around. Then they fall in love and become enthusiast, as you can see from some of the previous responders. So I hope you will try it again as I believe the 2nd time, as it has been for many of my friends, will be the charm. Ask for it Animal style….you will not regret it!
Well,
here’s how I see it.
Wendy’s – okay, but not as good as they used to be.
Carl’s Jr, – decent.
In N Out – delicious and worth the wait.
Hahah. You’ve obviously never eaten there.
Blog what you know, retard.
In-N-Out Burger is absolutely the best burger in the world. It’s not too big, not too small, never frozen, always fresh, and affordable. I can’t believe you think Wendy’s and Carl’s Jr (Hardy’s) is better. Of course, you’re entitled to your own opinion, but I completely disagree 🙂
I am headed back to Las Vegas in late May. We plan to make a return visit to In-N-Out Burger. Maybe I’ll “get it” the second time around or maybe I got some employee in training the first time or something…I will post a followup after we give it a second try.
Finally had an In and Out burger in San Fran. Was I disappointed! Not in the burger, it was fine, but what are those things they call fries? I think it is some form of edible tasteless plastic made to look like fries. NO flavor at all! It was enough to ruin my experience with In and Out.
