| - To wax poetic about In-N-Out would probably require at least a novella. Let's just say that It is consistently the best fast food burger that I have had.
I have been to this particular location 10 times if my Yelp check-ins tell the tale. It is just a few minutes from where I live and it is right off the highway as well as near a ton of stores such as Costco and Wal-Mart where people normally buy stuff. It can get reasonably high-traffic at peak hours, but it's not the worst I've seen.
The food is always great. I got my normal order tonight, the double-double animal style with no pickles, and fries lite well. Animal style is a so-called "secret" menu option, and when this modifier is applied to a burger, it gives you mustard-cooked beef, pickle (hence my "no pickle"), grilled onions instead of , and extra spread (their mix of ketchup, mayo, mustard, and pickle-that-I-like-to-consider-as-relish).
You can apply the animal style modifier to fries too, as I sometimes do. They'll pile a bunch of cheese, grilled onions, and spread on top of an order of fries. It's probably the ultimate pig-out option here. As for the lite well fries that I did order, they leave them in the fryer more than the usual amount of time, but not enough for all the fries to get crunchy and oil-filled. It's a happy medium between that extreme and the relatively limp regular fries.
The burger is a consistent masterpiece. Fluffy bun, beef that tastes just fine in spite of being cooked well-done, fresh tomato and lettuce, melted cheese, grilled onions, and delicious spread. It is easier for me to eat them in the same bite as my fries + ketchup when I'm actually eating in and using the somehow-always-cold ketchup in the paper thimbles. I kinda have this obsession about carefully applying dabs of ketchup to fries from the ketchup packets. I'd recommend eating in for that reason (and for the freshness factor).
Also on the menu are soda (or pink lemonade) and the three standard milkshake flavors on the menu. I feel like I get enough calories and avoid those nowadays, but if you want to treat yourself, mix some pink lemonade with Sprite, or ask for a neapolitan milkshake for all the flavors in one cup.
I've still yet to visit a Shake Shack, but other than that potential matchup, In-N-Out always holds its own against other fast food burger joints that I try. It's not even a true childhood favorite (McDonald's, ahem) since I only started eating there during high school. It's just a favorite, period.
