In-N-Out Burger — Restaurant in Lathrop

We were driving down Interstate 5 when I felt the need to be feed. We were near the town of Lathrop, CA. It was lunchtime. So we veered off the freeway and headed to In N Out.'Cause that's what a hamburger's all about! Indeed our burgers and milkshake were on point. The drive thru went swiftly.

The food was served hot and neatly assembled to be eaten in the car. Burgers were delicious. But is it just me, burger size seems to be shrinking overall at In N Out.

Anyways, this drive thru was bizee. Lots of cars. It moved quickly though. Plus, the landscape is the most beautiful I have ever seen at an In N Out. Seriously, I was impressed. Well maintained garden like setting. I wanted to hop out of the car to take a closer look. Tropical paradise in Lathrop. It just added a calming vibe in the hubbub of getting through a busy drive thru. For a few minutes, I was pleasantly distracted. And of course they had the signature X mark the spot criss cross palm trees.

The In N Out was in a large shopping complex. A busy one. The parking lot setup was not ideal. To exit the lot, you have to yield to traffic coming from the right and left (they have the right of way with no stop sign) and watch for direct opposite traffic. The opposite traffic and you have a stop sign. During peak times, it may take awhile to make a left turn (towards the interior lot of the shopping center) out of the In N Out parking lot. A right turn will head you back towards the freeway. Not a big deal, I only mention it since our plan was to eat in the parking lot. We did but in a different lot down the street from here. The other side of the freeway has...

I actually don't go to fast food but my grandson does. I live in Lathrop now so we went to the In-N-Out Burger in Lathrop instead of the one in Manteca. what a huge difference 13 miles makes. in Manteca it's always a 20-minute wait or more in the drive-thru and sometimes even in the walk-in. The food is always dry in my opinion - I mean I used to eat burgers and I know what a good juicy burger looks like. well low and behold, this In-N-Out Burger in Lathrop actually served juicy burgers. and no I don't mean raw or medium rare I mean not cook to death where you can still see the juices and it's not so thin you want to use it for a frisbee. so if I were a burger eater I would definitely make that extra time to go to the one in Lathrop. as far as my personal opinion of In-N-Out burgers food, I can comment on the french fries and there's something weird about them. if you're going to eat french fries you need to go to dairy Queen or Foster's freeze where they still make a good thick fry actually still taste like potato and doesn't get fried in low fat oil, whatever the heck...

I guess like any other place when they open, they make everything BIG and awesome to get customers back. The meat in the hamburgers seem to be getting thinner and smaller, in reality we eat bun and tomatoe. Yesterday I asked for extra lettuce and when I got my hamburger, they forgot it so I told the server and I even said "I think they forgot to put ANY lettuce in my burger" because there was literally a super thin strip of lettuce that was unnoticeable. The "extra" lettuce that they gave me separately was another 2 strips of thin lettuce so in reality I ended up getting what they use to put in it originally 🙄. I forgot to take a picture because they also took a very long time to get them done, there wasn't that many people inside to begin with, but they were focusing a lot more on the fast food lines. Once we got our food, they gave us half of what they usually give for fries. I use to get full on their food, I left hungry, got home and had to eat something else. This isn't ok In&Out. You raised your prices, I expect to get served accordingly to...
