In-N-Out Burger — Restaurant in Colorado Springs

Imagine, if you will, a place where the very concept of a burger is distilled to its purest form—a place that strips away the noise of modern culinary excess, leaving only simplicity and a quiet, cult-like devotion to quality. This is In-N-Out, a burger joint that has achieved near-mythic status, transforming the humble fast-food experience into something that borders on the sacred.

There is a monastic quality to the menu: burgers, fries, milkshakes. No salads, no wraps, no bewildering seasonal specials—just the core components of the American dream, as envisioned through patties, cheese, and crisp iceberg lettuce. It is a symphony of minimalism, an ode to restraint, and yet this simplicity holds a certain gravitational pull. The line of cars in the drive-thru stretches, in a continuous homage, as though paying respects to a modern oracle of beef and bun.

The employees, clad in white with hats that feel like a throwback to a forgotten era, move with remarkable efficiency, as though in a trance, aware of the weighty responsibility of this food-making ritual. Each burger is wrapped in a paper shroud, handed over with a sense of ceremony. The Double-Double—an offering of two beef patties, cheese, lettuce, and tomato, rendered perfectly proportional—is the pinnacle of this pilgrimage. The “Animal Style” option is a curious and thrilling paradox: off the menu yet widely known, it is a testament to the subtle anarchy that thrives within In-N-Out’s otherwise structured universe.

Then, there are the fries. These, however, present a peculiar challenge, for they are cut fresh and cooked in pure oil, crisp yet humble in a way that borders on austere. One is compelled to eat them with reverence or douse them in condiments to wring out whatever flavor their virtue may hide. And the milkshakes—ah, the milkshakes, rich yet simple, as if all the world’s dairy had gathered into a single cup to remind you of childhood joys.

In the end, In-N-Out does not aim to surprise or even innovate. It is a pilgrimage to the fundamentals, a burger joint that has made peace with its identity and delivers it to you with both humility and pride. This is no gastronomic revelation, but a quiet reminder that sometimes perfection lies in simplicity, that the humble burger, crafted with care, can be as comforting as a fond memory, and that true greatness in fast food is, perhaps, best served with a wink and a...

Every time i come to in and out, it is always a disappointment. To be honest, it isn't even this specific location. Its every single one i've tried in CO so far. The staff were fantastic, the facilities were darn near spotless, the drive through was quick enough.

Drifters closed, so i went here as a potential replacement for my after therapy burger and i just gotta say it doesn't hold a candle to Drifters. I mean it was okay, just really salty. The fries are fresh but still somehow taste stale, like you'd expect a crunch but its more of a starchy squishy crunch. There is also like virtually zero taste to the fries other than the salt.

To me the fries are just the worst part (3.5/10 if that) and i really wish they'd update them. The burger was ok, 7/10 maybe too salty for me tbh.

All around disappointment tbh, i likely wont be coming back and i do not get the hype at all and kind of saddened that this is what drove our local burger joint out of business. I think people just have a love for this place i don't get. Perhaps i should try it next time I visit cali...

totally wish the best to all the staff though, they were so absolutely sweet (: no complaints there and literally the only reason this isnt a 1 star tbh.

Taco bell fries were wayyy better, let that sink in. I gave my bf a fry and he reacted the same and offered me his taco bell fries xD I'm a fry demon, these aint it. If you like them good on you, but def d Tier.

The prices are fantastic though, but i have to write that the food at in and out in CO has been nothing short of lackluster :( It's more like 'in and avoid' for me

RIP Drifters. looks like i will not be finding a replacement any...

I recently visited your location and placed an in-house order (number 43) at 3:19 PM. Unfortunately, I experienced a significant wait time, receiving my order at around 3:39 PM (estimated 20 minutes). During this period, I observed that numerous drive-thru orders were fulfilled, and even witnessed the preparation of 10-15 orders go through the drive-thru window.

While I understand the importance of serving all customers, I felt that my in-house order was somewhat overlooked. Furthermore, my order was served in a bag instead of the box I had specifically requested. To add to my disappointment, I noticed a vehicle that would have been ahead of me in the drive-thru line pass by me as I waited. I chose to order to-go because there were no other customers in line inside at the time. Despite this, no one inquired about the reason for my extended wait. I observed some employees standing idle while others attended to other tasks. I believe that prioritizing the comfort and satisfaction of the current customer should be a primary focus.

Additionally, after receiving my order, I noticed an employee checking on a customer to ensure they had received their order promptly. This action, while commendable, highlighted the inconsistency in service that I experienced.

I hope this feedback is constructive and helps to improve the overall customer experience at...
