This is the location that popped my In-N-Out cherry. And for that visit alone...this place gets 5 stars. It was incredible, and I won't go into the details because I'm sure I have embellished them in my mind over the years probably to the point of being food pornography.
This is THE iconic In-N-Out of Vegas. It's right next to the strip, and therefore, YES....IT IS ALWAYS BUSY. Go there expecting a long wait and you won't be as disappointed. They also get 5 stars for the crap they have to put up with from drunks and tourists.
This is also the location I mentioned in another review in which I witnessed a group of 4 walk up to the counter and I overheard this:
GIRL: Can I just get like a grilled chicken sandwich
EMPLOYEE: I'm sorry we don't have any chicken sandwiches on our menu, just burgers.
GIRL: Really? I don't really like burgers, do you have anything else?
EMPLOYEE: (controlling a smirk) No. I'm sorry, just what's on the menu.
GIRL: Okaaaaaaay........ummmmmmm.......I guess let me have a burger, but can I have it with bacon and avocado?
EMPLOYEE: Oh I'm really sorry we don't have bacon or avocado.
GIRL: (Turns to boyfriend) Just order me something, this place is stupid! (Walks out of line and plops down in a booth with arms crossed.)
In the words of Jimmy Fallon on SNL: "Really?.......REALLYYYYY?"
And for God's sake don't write a review based on how many cars were in the drive-thru....In-N-Out may have ties to J.C. and Bible verse numbers on the cups, but they can't perform miracles...so stay focused on the interactions with the employees and the food.
I would give the company as a whole 6 stars if I could for low prices, quality ingredients, and insanely good and efficient service (This is the only fast food restaurant that can top Chick-fil-A).
But, with that said....Yea....The Fries....They Suck.....Any way you get them......They suck.
My standard order: 3x3 Animal style, light sauce, extra mustard seasoning on the patties, and no pickles with a vanilla shake.
