    I dunno what it is, but their fries (animal style with Chiles, or plain) seem to really upset my guts, consistently. I suspect it’s their oil, but so far as I know, it’s just regular peanut oil…

      They are the lowest quality fries I’ve ever had, with or without salad dressing to cover it up

    I’m not a fan of animal style fries, but I do like their fries. I get a laugh at how everyone hates on them for having the least processed fries in the business. Long before in n out was in my area, every now and then my dad would make fries out of fresh potatoes. He would do it just like in n out. Cut up the potato, fry it up and add salt. I get that nostalgia plays a part, but those were the best damn fries I ever ate as a child. In n out’s taste very similar especially if you get them fresh. (Still not the same, but it’s very good) People always complain that they aren’t as crisp, but honestly, just appreciate that they are made differently, and expect something different. There are literally 3 ingredients. Potato, oil, and salt, and you can watch them manually cutting potatoes from the drive thru or lobby. Imo that’s a sign of quality, and I would be mad as hell if they switched to generic par fried frozen shit that you can get literally anywhere else.

      I haven’t had In n Out in like 20 years but back then the fries were golden and crispy. I liked them a lot.

      I’ll take a Double Triple Bossy Deluxe, on a raft, four-by-four animal-style, extra shingles with a shimmy and a squeeze, light axle grease, make it cry, burn it, and let it swim.

    I’d recognize the drab bomb shelter lighting temperature of an In-N-out any day, with or without the food.

      They do that to keep people awake. Customers and workers alike. That’s just what I’ve heard from the workers, though.

        It’s also a pretty common lighting choice in just about any office building or commercial entity. When you’re as big as a giant fast food franchise, I can see the likelihood someone might have done the research necessary to conclude it was worth getting this lighting specifically to avoid sleeping customers and staff but I think it’s also quite likely they’re just cheap.

      Thank god I’m not the only one. I didn’t grow up on them, being from the east coast, and I think it tastes like a dressed up McDonald’s burger (animal style included). It’s just not great. Hell, Freddy’s and Culvers is better.

      Oh their fries are absolute trash, that I agree on.

      For me, it’s the Flying Dutchman Animal Style. The best fast food sandwich. I even ask for extra chopped chilis and the staff is so friendly and more than willing to oblige.

      One time I asked for an extra slice of cheese and they gave me three. I said, “Wow, three for free!” and the nice friendly In-N-Out worker laughed and said, “I’m going to call you 3-for-free!”.

      Now the staff greets me with “hey it’s 3-for-free!” and ALWAYS give me three slices. It’s such a fun and cool atmosphere at my local In-N-Out restaurant, I go there at least 3 times a week for lunch and a large milkshake, 1-2 times for breakfast on the weekend, and maybe once for dinner when I’m in a rush but want a great meal that is affordable, fast, and can match my daily nutritional needs.

      I even dip my fries in milkshake, it’s delicious! What a great restaurant.

    Their fries are always so chalky and dry, they legitimate taste fucking disgusting. Burgers are amazing, though.

      I don’t like their fries all that much either, but on the off chance that you’ve been eating them unsalted, they don’t salt them, just give you the salt on the side.

      Amazing burgers and the worst fast-food fries on the planet. In ‘n Out is such a weird dichotomy.

      Nothing of value was lost, those fries are so nasty to begin with. In-n-out has the absolute worst fries.

      I get them in the burger. Double-double with a whole grilled onion and chopped chilies, animal style fries. It’s what makes the world go round. Almost forgot to mention, toasted bun to help keep it from falling apart.

    Did someone dump a can of cream-of-mushroom soup on that? I don’t know what I’m looking at.

        Thousand Island dressing + nacho saucethermoplastic sealant.

        remember. Thousand Island is McDonald’s “secret sauce”. (though there’s some distinctions in their particular thousand island.)

      It’s a quarter cup of cat barf. It’s difficult at first to get your pets to barf into measuring cups, but it absolutely can be done. Carrot, not the stick. Positive reinforcement.

    Not trying to yuck your yum, but…yuck. Is that thousand island on undercooked fries?
