| - It's official. In-N-Out Burger is at the LINQ. This is also our first In-N-Out on the strip. This was news months ago and the predication was that this location is going to be the busiest In-N-Out ever. I don't know about that. The Barstow CA and Tropicana NV location is pretty crazy.
The girlfriend alerted me that this In-N-Out grand opened today and I couldn't resist. I've been to every In-N-Out in Las Vegas/Henderson and wasn't missing a chance at this one, especially since it was the middle of the week. I'm assuming that the lines during the weekends will be cray cray. There was a line when I arrived, but it's In-N-Out and goes by so quick. I found one seat open and took it. I don't know if it's temporary due to grand opening week, but my meal was served to me. I prefer a Double Double, spread only, extra toast, and well done fries. But on this visit, I kept it Keto style with two Flying Dutchman's (Two Patties/Two Cheese x 2). Of course I had spread added (awesome sauce!!). Both Flying Dutchman's were too salty for my liking. In-N-Out is known for throwing a lot of salt on their patties, but mine was a little too much. I'll give them a pass since they're new.
This is not your typical In-N-Out. For one, there's obviously no drive thru. And two, the prices are bumped up a bit. For example, a Double Double is normally $3.60. Here it's $4.35. Two Flying Dutchman's usually cost me $4.76. With a drink, I spent close to $9.00. A Double Double Meal aka a Number 1 is about $1.50 more. You get the point. The upcharge is due to location and rent must be exceptionally high. I get it, I just don't agree with it. This location is not going to be crazy, it's going to be Karazy. I'm sure they'll make enough to cover expenses. In my opinion, locals should get a discount.
Overall, I'm a huge fan of In-N-Out. I just don't see myself going out of the way to eat here. But if I am at the LINQ and in need of a good burger, then you know where to find me.
TIP #1: Don't forget about the secret menu. Animal Style!!
TIP #2: This location has a Company Store. It's small but good to know.
TIP#3: Expect tons of tourist here. It was cool to watch excited customers walking in and out. I even witnessed a few hi-fives and cheering. Poor things...we are so privileged out on the west.
