In-N-Out Burger — Restaurant in Placerville

Located just off the main highway with  easy access this is definitely  convenient and lives up to being ‘In-N-Out’ for a quick bite. This iconic California born burger chain has made a name for itself and definitely has its diehard fan base that continue to rave about their offerings, which by the way are limited.  A huge part of the success of this family owned operation (yes, all 380+ locations) is keeping it simple and supposedly never changing up the family tested menu. It's the same offering every time, every location and every day. No specials, no seasonal gimmicks and no questionable mystery meat re-configured into hundreds of various concoctions only excessive marketing magic can invent.  At In-N-Out what you will find (at all locations) will be a) The Double Double (double patty/double cheese) b) The Cheeseburger (or half a Double Double) c) the Hamburger (see item b without the cheese), and finally French Fries.  All burgers include fresh lettuce, a perfect onion slice, fresh tomatoes and their own secret sauce unchanged since the 1940’s.  Simple as it may be though, quality is key, as all meat utilized is local and hand select choice beef, hand trimmed, never frozen and actually ground by In-N-Out associates. French fries also follow the same path being potatoes are again all hand selected, hand washed, and cut as demand requires for freshness and quality. In-N-Out also prides itself in also being able to offer what the customer requests. If what's on the menu doesn't exactly meet your hunger needs? Then simply switch it up by requesting your own burger creation or taking a glance at the ‘Not so Secret’ menu where you can find other fan approved menu mix ups. In-N-Out also offers the standard array of Coca Cola products along with Chocolate, Vanilla or Strawberry real ice cream shakes (or the Neapolitan, a weird concoction of all three flavors). Two other items that we found to be somewhat unique (or strange) were the container of little green (hot!) Chili peppers located with the self-serve  condiments, and the printing of various Bible verses discretely located on cups and wrappers. The place was immaculate and bright with extremely enthusiastic staff. Is it better than our own locally owned and loved Puget Sound Dick’s? Uhm, that would be a...

As someone from the East Coast, every time I find myself in California or Nevada, I make a point to stop at In-N-Out Burger. On a recent trip from Stockton to Lake Tahoe, I swung by this legendary burger joint to satisfy my craving for one of their famous cheeseburgers.

I went through the drive-thru, and the order taker was quick and friendly—exactly what you want when you're hungry and on the go. My usual order? A cheeseburger Animal Style with a vanilla shake. The burger lived up to the hype. The sauce, the fresh toppings, and the soft, pillowy bun make it one of the best burgers in fast food, easily ranking in my top five.

However, the rest of the meal didn’t quite measure up. The fries were bland, lacking any seasoning or salt, which left me unimpressed. The vanilla shake, too, was a letdown—barely any flavor and, surprisingly, almost room temperature instead of the cold, creamy treat I was expecting.

All in all, the burger was good, but the other items in the meal left much to be desired. While the meal was filling, I’m not sure I’d go out of my way to return just for the burger. In-N-Out might be iconic, but if you're looking for a well-rounded fast food meal, you may want to keep searching for your go-to...
