A lot of Californians won't like what I'm about to say, but In-N-Out is the single most overrated burger joints in existence. There are pros and cons, but the negatives outweigh the positives.
Pros: the menu is relatively cheap compared to other fast-food burger chains. Like Jack in the Box without the variety. The burger itself is fine. Mediocre, but fine. The milkshakes are definitely the highlight. Again, not whole lot of variety here, but that factor doesnt matter so much when your shakes are consistently excellent.
Cons: The fries suck, point blank period. Zero flavor, not even salt. You got to add that yourself which defeats the point of fast food. And I know what you're going to say, "you gotta get inlt ANIMAL STYLE!" ... Sorry, but if you have to dump a bunch slop onto your fries in order to make them palatable, they your fries are garbage. I already mentioned In-N-Out has no variety whatsoever, which would be fine if they excelled in the few products they serve, but that's not the case outside of their shakes. They serve coffee but it's gas station quality and last time I ordered it, they forgot the coffee THREE TIMES. First they apologized and said it would be right out. Then they said (after five minutes went by) that they only just put on a fresh pot. Five minutes after THAT, they finally admitted that they forgot. My food was cold while my coffee was scalding hot. The heck was that about? Plain black coffee should be the easiest thing there is. Also, the lines get really long, which is baffling all things considered. Finally, I'm not a religious person and don't enjoy having Bible scriptures hidden all over my cups, trays, and food wrapping.
If you want a cheap, mid Jesus burger with flavorlessly abysmal fries, In-N-Out is for you! If you want better burgers, edible fries, good coffee, less lines, and actual variety, eat like a heathen literally...
Read moreI've been out west for several months, but never had the time or courage to try any of the In-N-Out chain restaurants because the lines are always so long regardless of the time of day or city I'm in. Funny how eating at one of these joints was like an unspoken bucket list idea! I finally got the nerve to stop in Monday night (5/24/21) and order 2 double-doubles, 2 French fries, one medium strawberry shake (which wasn't that good), and one chocolate shake. Alot of good food for just $20.18. The drive-thru line was super long as usual, but only ONE person was inside at the counter ordering! Last night was my night, and when I walked in and saw the menu, it was so simple, I was shocked! I expected to see mushroom burgers, avocado bacon burgers, loaded fries, Yada Yada Yada! Nope, the menu was so simple (pic attached). Food so fresh, REAL, delicious, and simple but tasty. It didn't take very long (10-15 minutes) to get our food either. The food was also extremely affordable (receipt attached). The shakes really had no flavor. The food was haphazardly thrown into the bag, making us literally fish out our burgers (punctured our buns and got quite messy) from a ton of fresh crispy fries. I would definitely get no salt on our fries if we go again, which we likely will. Overall, good food, and I can see why people wait so long in these lines because the food is much better and cheaper than larger chains like McDs, BK, and others I try not to eat too often because those places have questionable "real" food. In-N-Out advertises real meat and potatoes and their food tastes undoubtedly authentic. Yes to...
Read moreFirst off, In-N-Out is the gold standard of burger joints. Food has a high strict quality of a clairvoyant standard.
This Palmdale Blvd location is pretty good. As for flavor it's good, a solid 4. Yeah it's not a bad rating. The In-N-Out on Seaward Ave in Ventura is the gold standard for flavor and Ambiance.
Service here is fast and friendly, i recommend the Animal Style Fries with extra Animal.
If any burger chain can top this, they definitely need to get their life choices in check. This is Mt Rushmore of standard.
Now that being said, Palmdale Blvd is a good location. Busy but quick to serve, one gentleman working was really cool to kids who were excited to experience a once in a life time burger to start their journey of goodness.
If you can't smell the fries cooking, tell them...
