If you are ever able to grab a bite at In-N-Out, don't miss the chance! Since the establishment of the In-N-Out chain on October 22, 1948, the world-famous burger joint has kept its fresh, delicious, and inexpensive menu at the top of the fast-food game. Founders Harry and Esther Snyder kept to their motto ¨Keep it simple; do one thing, and do it the best you can¨. Though the menu is mostly limited to burgers, fries, drinks, and milkshakes, they have developed them into uniqueness and perfection. You can get a double cheeseburger combo (with fries and a drink) for just $10! With all things considered the price for the quality is amazing and makes for a burger-lovers dream.

Not looking for burgers? In-n-out includes a secret menu adding to the uniqueness of the fast-food chain. You can order grilled cheese, animal-style fries, etc. This secret menu expands into drinks, including root beer floats, lemon-ups, and Neapolitan shakes. Secret menu for burgers you say? They´ve got you covered with protein style, animal style, 4x4, 3x3, mustard grilled, and many more options.


Freshness is key at In-n-Out, with their hamburger patties consisting of 100% USDA ground chuck beef, free of additives, fillers, and preservatives. Never-frozen patties are sent to In-N-Out locations daily directly from company-owned patty-making facilities sent on company-owned trucks. The same goes for vegetables and toppings, which are exported almost daily. The only thing pre-packaged about In-n-Out is the condiments; beef, toppings, and even buns are sourced locally, which is why they have such a fresh taste. In-N-Out claims to not own a freezer, microwave, or heat lamp at any location, and burgers are made right in front of you on the grill. A No-BS policy when it comes to food quality beats out most fast-food restaurants and shows why In-n-Out is king.

Going to an In-n-Out is seen as a novelty for a lot of people. Restaurants are regularly packed with locals, travelers, and celebrities alike. In an interview with Thrillist magazine debating Shake Shack vs In-N-Out, Celebrity Chef Gordon Ramsay expresses ¨"No offense to my friend Danny Meyer of Shake Shack, but it's an In-N-Out burger, all the way... Especially when it's freshly cooked and served animal style. Nothing better..". It's not only this that draws people to the exemplary burger spot. The restaurants flaunt an old-school Californian palm tree design from the wallpaper to the cups. The workers are amiable, paid healthy wages, and are given benefits including health care, insurance, etc. And even though In-n-Out is exclusive to states, it adds to its novelty. Exclusivity, taste, freshness, what more could you ask for? In-n-out is the pinnacle of fast food.
