Visiting the West Coast? A stop at In-N-Out Burger is a must for any foodie.
This long-standing chain has pioneered many fast-food trends and boasts incredibly fresh ingredients. You can watch your burger and fries made to order from scratch.
While there are menu items worth trying, not everything is a winner.
In-N-Out may appear to have a limited menu, but a “secret menu” offers additional options. However, many of these aren’t worth the cost. Here’s a look at nine items to skip and three you should definitely try.
Skip These:
The 3×3 and 4×4 Burgers: These secret menu behemoths pack three and four patties respectively, along with multiple slices of cheese. While tempting, they are calorie and sodium bombs. Stick with the delicious, classic burger.
Animal Style Fries: In-N-Out’s fresh-cut fries are legendary. However, the Animal Style version, topped with cheese and grilled onions, can be overwhelming if you’re not an onion fan. Regular cheese fries are a better choice.
Cold Cheese: This secret menu oddity features, well, cold cheese. While some may enjoy it, most will find it underwhelming.
Flying Dutchman: This minimalist creation consists of two beef patties and two slices of cheese – no bun, no lettuce, just meat and cheese. It’s an acquired taste, and most will prefer a traditional burger.
Light or Well-Done Fries: In-N-Out’s fries are perfect as is. Ordering them “light” (less crispy) or “well-done” (extra crispy) detracts from their deliciousness.
Tomato Wrap: For the health-conscious, this secret menu item replaces the bun with tomato slices. While the intention is good, you’re better off creating a similar, more cost-effective meal at home.
Wish Burger: This vegetarian option consists of lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles on a bun – essentially a salad on a bun. It’s easily replicated at home.
Mustard-Grilled Burger: This option involves grilling the patty with mustard. Unless you’re a serious mustard lover, skip it.
Try These:
Hamburger/Cheeseburger with Onion: You can’t go wrong with the classic In-N-Out burger. Fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked, it’s a West Coast staple.
Neapolitan Shake: This secret menu gem blends vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry ice cream for a delightful treat. In-N-Out’s high-quality ice cream makes this shake a must-try.
Double-Double with Onion: If you’re looking for a bigger burger, the Double-Double, with two patties, is a good choice. It’s not an everyday meal, but it’s a worthwhile indulgence.
