As a Midwesterner, it was a big thrill to finally get a taste of In-N-Out Burger! I got there ten minutes after they opened and that was when the crowd started arriving. I had heard about some of their menu items, but I didn't realize a lot of them were 'hidden'. Hidden as in no animal fries on the menu. They expect people to ask, which I suppose is a good thing. When I go to a chain restaurant for the first time, I usually start with their signature. I got the Double Double Cheeseburger with all available toppings and their animal fries. The looks and the taste was awesome. The fries were something else. While I was there, a birthday party was going on for a college student returning to Phoenix! If you go anytime during the day, definitely allow yourself plenty of time as In-N-Out (any location) is always busy!
I will definitely be back to In-N-Out next time I'm in the West. Its always great to get something which is not available back home. Side note: the co-founder, Esther Snyder, grew up in the tiny town of Sorento, Illinois, which is about 20 miles from me. Kind of makes me wonder why they don't expand to the Midwest?! Oh well...
