One of the perks of living on the West Coast is In-N-Out Burger, which has a unique, cult-like iconic status among fast food chains. Kind of like fictional Big Belly Burger that shows up in all those DC Superhero TV shows. BTW Arrow is my favorite show and my TV crush is Felicity Smoak, LOL!
This In-N-Out is closest to my house and I always chuckle when I drive along SRVB and see the crazy line of cars lined up for the drive thru at every hour. I prefer to order in! Why is this burger chain so special?
1. Super fresh burgers and fries. So fresh there's no freezer on site and no phone-ahead or delivery. You eat in, order in person, or do drive through since they need to ensure quality.
2. Happy, friendly employees. I think being a private, family-owned business allows them to pay employees more generously than say a typical franchise.
3. Affordable! You can get juicy burger and fries for two for just under $11! My favorite is the Double Double with grilled onions.
4. The Secret Menu! Their main menu looks simple but you actually have options if you know the codes for burgers (animal style, 3x3, 4x4, protein style, etc.) or fried (fries light, well done, animal style, etc.). Remember those triple flavor Neapolitan Ice Creams? They have a milkshake version too on the Secret Menu.
5. Clean restaurant and restrooms if you decide to dine in. In the age of COVID they have sanitizer inside and large plexiglass shields over the cashier station.
