Full disclosure, I have a love/hate relationship with In-N-Out. I hate fast food and try to avoid it at all costs simply due to trying to eat clean and healthy. That being said, after a concert or night of clubbing or bar hopping, few things are more readily available and inexpensive than fast food. In-N-Out is the best of bad choices, IMHO. That being said, if you ever ever eaten at this establishment, you already know that their food is delicious, despite having a beef patty thinner than most supermodels dream of being. But if you want beef, you can always hit up their double double or add patties to match your ladder of caloric desire.
As for this specific location, I visited on a Wednesday night, and as always the drive thru was bustling, but the line was relatively short inside. The staff were above and beyond friendly and professional. Everyone seemed focused on their tasks and happy to be there. Their kindness and helpfulness seemed very genuine. The wait time from ordering to receiving the food was only a few minutes. Waiting while hungry definitely makes time seem to move slower, but I believe Einstein can explain that better than I. Do a different Google search for that answer. The price per value is always on point at In-N-Out and their meals actually reflect the more photo representations on the ordering wall. Most fast food joints hand over a burger that looks like it’s lived on the streets, strung out on meth for a decade, and then stepped on before being presented to me.
My only complaint? The bathrooms were overflowing with paper towels. It was around 9pm. This is unusual for this location. Things happen. Perhaps they had an abundance of sick calls that evening and focused on delivering food and checking the restrooms every other hour? Everyone on staff appeared to be working diligently, so I hesitate to condemn the location for a si file rough evening and local patrons that can’t seem to 1) compact paper towels in the trash or 2) miss the trash can altogether. At the end of the day, fast food patrons are pigs at a trough, more concerned with eating and grunting than cleaning up after themselves.
Thumbs up to the Gilroy location for making my visit a delicious, almost regret...
Read moreI ordered my usual, a Double Double Protein Style with extra lettuce, for th Ed ffg irst time I was very disappointed when I got my order. I guess the person assembling my burger was irritated with my order. It's like they took all the leftover pieces of lettuce and put it on top of my burger patties, my two slices of tomatoes were the end part because it had holes in the middle of them where the stem was removed. The whole thing wasn't even wrapped properly in the paper that helps hold the burger together before they put it in the sleeve. I had to take a picture of it because this is the first time I've ever gotten my order so poorly assembled.
We sat on a booth next to the counter which has the self serve ketchup and napkin dispensers. Both napkin dispensers were empty and so were both ketchup dispensers. A customer went up to the counter to inform a staff member about the situation. She came out to check and was murmuring to herself, "this is not my job, I don't know how to change this out." She returned to the counter without addressing the issue.
After I finished my meal, I went to the ladies restroom and it was disgusting. Like there had been no bathroom check by staff the whole afternoon. Paper towels over flowing from the trash can near the door, toilet seat protectors on the floor next to the toilets in both stalls. I went in there to wash my hands because after eating my discombobulated burger, my hands needed good wash. I overheard a lady in one stall asking for toilet paper from the other lady in the other stall because her stall was out.
This is my first experience of such lack of attention by staff members at an In-N-Out establishment. I visited this place at 5pm on a Saturday. I know that they are super busy, but if other locations can keep up with standards this location...
