The Ins and Outs of In-N-Out

Posted on by
In-N-Out is a renown burger joint founded in 1948 by Harry Snyder. Ever since 1972, most In-N-Out locations have carried out the tradition of planting crossed palm trees in the front, a reference to one of Snyder’s favorite movies, It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. Over the past sixty years, this fast food restaurant has received and continues to receive many positive reviews on its quality.
Although it is not the closest burger joint to AHS and is often tightly packed during lunch hours, In-N-Out is widely known to the public for the taste that leaves a positive impression on families. The restaurant’s affordable prices make it a suitable hangout for groups of various ages. The three main burger options–the hamburger, the cheeseburger and the Double-Double—cost no more than four dollars for one; a side of french fries and a soda also require no more than four dollars for both.
In addition to their commonly-served foods, they also have a Secret Menu that hide a number of customer favorites like the In-N-Out Burger Protein Style, a burger wrapped in lettuce with no buns. For vegetarians, they serve a meatless, cheese-less burger called the Veggie Burger, or Wish Burger. As for indecisive shake-lovers, there’s the “Neapolitan Shake,” a shake with a blend of chocolate, vanilla and strawberry flavors. One of In-N-Out’s most popular orders from the Secret Menu, sprinkled with grilled onions and coated with melted cheese and dressing, is their famous “Animal Fries.” These fries have been and continue to be a successful hit just as In-N-Out continues to be favored among most of the community today.
“The shakes are extremely fresh.”

“The best burgers I’ve ever eaten is at In-N-Out. I also like the fact that they use real potatoes to make their fries instead of frozen ones.”

“It tastes healthier and better than McDonald’s. There’s not as much grease, and it doesn’t taste fake.”
– Julie Yu, sophomore
“In-N-Out is the classic west coast American burger dinner. It stays true to its original menu by selling exclusive burgers, fries, drinks, and shakes unless you know codewords to get your hands on the good secret stuff. Regardless of its tiny menu, it gets hundreds of customers everyday coming back to get a good ol’ fashioned American cuisine.”
