Ok In-N- Out is a life saver. After a crappy day at work and then having to go to a three hour class at UCI where the professor just brags about himself the whole time, I was hungry. The line wasn't too long at In-N-Out so I order my usual cheeseburger meal with grilled onions. The girl at the first window (where you pay) was insanely cheerful. She was very excited to give me the lap mat they give you when you eat in the car. Then when got to the second window to pick up my food, it was ready and waiting for me. In-N-Out burgers are just amazing. I could always go for In-N-Out and the service at this one was beyond excellent.

Where can u get a decent burger for under $3 and it taste really good??!!! In-N-Out!!!! I was starving today after work so I went to the drive thru and get a double double w/ grill onions and no cheese.. it was $2.53. Meat was grill to a perfection, juicy and flavorful, buns are slightly crisp on the inside, the veggies are fresh and green, sauce is just the right amount... yuuuummmmmm...
I think back then I never really like In-N-Out so much, the only time I had them is in Barstow, on the way to Vegas..for the past 15 years or so.. until recently, I had In-N-Out again and slowly getting attached to their burger.. I think I didn't like the cheese in the burger so after I took out the cheese.. it went from C+ to A+... what a difference in grade jump. It's the best chain store burger around that price range that I ever had.. when you have In-N-Out.. I kick McDee's, Carl's and others out the curb side.. sorry guys..

I want my 100th review to be positive and corny. That's right folks. P-O-S-I-T-I-V-E and C-O-R-N-Y. This is Irvine's one and only In-N-Out location - hangout after every high school football game (in mid 90's) and center of life for UCI...not the best location for me anymore, but a classic landmark in Irvine.
I wanna try something new here
Ode to In-N-Out:
In-N-Out, with that distinct smell that calls out to me at any hour of the day, getting my juices flowing, my mouth salivating like one of Pavlov's dogs...
To you, In-N-Out, I remain true...
Because of you, I am subdued...
You get me all sauced up like animal style...only for you
And now...I am headed to the lou....
In-N-Out, you are:
I...nsidious (to the mid section)
N...ecessitous (to my very soul)
When I visit you, it's:
N..om nom nom (as the burger goes down...)
Leaving me:
O...rally satisfied or Orrrgasmic
U...ngulating, and my
T...ape worm enjoys it too (how else could I eat so much)
In-N-Out, always the ability to make me "extremely satisfied" = 5 stars.

Dear Barbie,
I haven't seen you in awhile. It's not the same. I wanted to ask and see if you still work here but I was too depressed. While I was eating my cheeseburger, all I can think of were the times when you took my order.

The first time you do the "hunka chunka" with someone new, it has to be raw, passionate and wild. Not to be misinterpreted for utterly rough to the point that she's dialing 911 and checking for an ice pick under the bed, but it does have to be intense. Clothes being ripped off and scattered across the floor, a picture frame or two falling off the wall, and maybe the neighbors' dogs are howling in response. Sweaty, huffing and seeing stars. Sweet Impulsive Jesus.
The first time is no time to be gentle and sensitive. Save the sixty lit candles, satin sheets and your acoustic rendition of your favorite Air Supply ballad for an anniversary or a special occasion.
That's basically how I feel for the first meal after an intense outdoor workout that has challenged me physically as well as mentally. Post workout, I don't yearn for some healthy portioned meal. I'm not craving anything fancy that's been cooked using ingredients like truffle oil, capers and foie gras. I also want to devour my food with my hands, not on a plate.
And that's where In n Out satisfies my voracious appetite. 3x3 burger protein style with a side of well done fries. Without the distraction of the buns, each bite of my burger was juicy to the core. The well done fries came in an abundance. Each and every fry was crunchy and golden. To soak up all this goodness, I indulged in a strawberry milkshake. The thick shake numbed my brain and tasted sweet in an almost sharp way.
I don't get to eat like this all the time, but when I do utter satisfaction is achieved. Eating like this can't be compared to the feeling after your very first kiss, but more so the aftermath of being pinned up against the wall, lashing your tongue everywhere followed by a primal pulling bite of the bottom lip. Have mercy.

When I was a kid, the only fast-food hamburger place my parents would buy food from was McDonald's.
It wasn't until high school (at around age 17) that I had my first taste of In-N-Out. From that day forward, my life changed. Haha!
Although the burgers are mighty yummy, the fries kind of take some getting used to. Don't get me wrong... They're delicious, but the texture isn't the same as fries you get at other places. Real potatoes people! This is what a real fried potato tastes like!
The one thing I like most about In-N-Out is the simple menu. You don't have to spend an hour scanning the menu. It's basically 1, 2 or 3.
Also, since I don't believe the restaurants are franchised, every one I've been to has had great staff and was very clean (at least to the naked eye).
Mmm... I want a burger... Protein style!

As a vegan, this isn't my first place I think of going to eat when people ask me. But many times when it's 1 in the morning, I find myself stepping out of the car, crossing the parking lot, with each step getting closer. You'll always find UCI and high school students here, and it seems to be more busy at 2 am than 2 pm, which I find funny.
I do love their fries and pink lemonade, both of which end up being surprisingly filling. You should watch me get my ketchup. It's quite a spectacle.
Ate here for lunch at work. One of the many times I have ate at In & Out. What can I say, you can't fault this place for anything. Nice simple menu, great food, great service, great prices and a clean environment.
The food is delicious. My motto is if you are gonna go, go BIG. And I did that by getting a double double grilled onions with extra spread and animal style fries. Now that is a delicious meal. You get a double pattied cheeseburger with their delicious grilled sponge bread bun, tomatoes, lettuce, grilled onions and their spread (which is like thousand island dressing but is a little creamier in my opinion. Man I love that spread it goes well with the fries as well. Which leads me to the animal style fries which are their regular french fries covered in cheese, grilled onions and their spread. That is money in the bank.
Prices are very reasonable. They have raised their prices in the past but it was a small raise and they are still lower overall then most burger joints. And for the quality you get it beats almost every fast food burger chain. I have been a fan of In-N-Out for a long time and will continue to visit here till the day I die. Even if my Dr. says not to eat any more burgers...I feel bad for people who don't have an In-N-Out by them.

Oh the memories. The scent of In N Out calling me in like a moth to the flame. I lived about a 50 yards from this In N Out. I miss living next to one. Get a 3x3 animal with fries and a large Neopolitan shake. You can now die happy.
Tasty, economical, and perfectly evil in its deliciousness when done animal style... what more can I say? Oh yeah, their staff are very happy and friendly.
I'm surprised there is even a listing for this, because In 'n Out in California is an institution-- and if you haven't heard about it, you are living in the Twilight Zone. Or maybe, the rest of us are living in a Twilight Zone... A Twilight Zone of delicious Double Doubles and strangely extra-potato tasting french fries.
Yummmaaaayyyy
My favorite place for a burger and fries. In n Out, as you may or may not know, is relatively healthy as far as fast food is concerned. They use all fresh ingredients and cook/cut/make it all to perfection. This is by far my favorite in n out location as it is not in a sketchy area like others. In addition, it is a lot bigger than other ones as well. Last, but not least, all I have to say is, "Animal Style."
Not a lot to add to these other glowing reviews other than the embarrassing admission that In-N-Out will probably be a major consideration if I am ever debating whether to move out of the west, and also that if, like me, you grew up with parents who ate chili peppers on the side with everything you may want to ask the staff for some peppers when you pick up your food. They are one of the more delicious In-N-Out secrets.

I used to go here all the time in undergrad at UCI. Best late night meals. Lines are long, but it is worth the wait. 3x3 with grilled onions. Yum. What more can you ask for after a night of partying? Uh, no not that. Let's keep this PG people.

On Tuesday night at 9:45pm, I just left everything and everyone I had known all my life to start a new project on the West Coast. As I am driving my rental for the week, I look to my left towards my friend who is helping me with the transition. After two second I experience a very "spiritual" moment with my friend who is thinking the same thing I am- Animal Style baby.
Growing up on the east coast, you are exposed to multitude of culture, food, and people. Thus, when I knew I was coming to California, besides the sun and surf, I was looking forward to IN-N-OUT burgers! There is just nothing like it. I don't think even Wolfgang Puck can perfect this burger.
My favorite is double cheese burger animal style+ chillie peppers + vanilla shake = CHEAP, CONVENIENT, DELICIOUS HEAVEN!
PS: It's awesome post rough night out food.

I write this review in honor of every in-n-out location in existence and the few that I still dream of for the future. In-n-out is the lord and savior of all burger joints. I you disagree you do not deserve to live in the great state of cali. When I think of sinking my teeth in to a delicious double double I won't lie I get a little damp in my no-no bits. And ANIMAL STYLE FRIES godly!!!! sure they have few options, but who cares they do what they do oh so well. damn it now I can't get it out of my mind. To in-n-out Jeeves!

I'm almost embarrassed to say that even though I grew up five minutes from an In-N-Out, I never knew what animal style was until I started going to UCI and my freshman roommate told me about it. At first, I thought he was messing with me but low and behold, years later, I can enjoy animal style. Only now, in the end, do I understand.....
When I was going to UCI, In-N-Out and Dennys (...shudder...) were the only places that would be open past 9:00 on any given day, so double doubles and shakes became a staple of my college diet.
Points for having a nice spacious eating area, and every square inch is used up during lunch hour. It gets so busy, you can hear your order number re-used in the same lunch hour. As for the food, In-N-Out is In-N-Out. High quality ingredients done up right.

I am not a fan of fast food.
But I miss IN-n-out!! This was a great standby during my busy undergrad years across the street
The only fast food hamburger I will eat. Enough said.
Get their neopolitan shake if you feel like indulging. So good!
It gets really crowded during lunch time, because it is so close to campus, so try and hit it up during their off hours to avoid the crowds.

I came here for lunch. On a weekday. During the school year.
Too. Many. People. More so than your average lunch rush.
That said...I love In-N-Out and I find that the quality is about the same no matter which one you go to. Love the food...just don't come here if you need some food quick during rush.

My friend introduced me to In-N-Out at this location, four years ago. We were hungry (and I had no idea what was good), so he did the ordering, uttering phrases not visibly on their menu like "animal style", "3x3", etc., bringing a veritable feast to our table. When I took my first bite of an In-N-Out burger, it was fast food heaven.
Recommended if you've never been and aren't a vegetarian. If you HAVE been, this location tastes like any other In-N-Out I've been to. This location stays open late (when we was there) so GO late to avoid waiting through the rush of UCI students.

I often dream of In-N-Out while awake...ever see a ghost hamburger float past you? It's a trip, man.
I used to live accross the street from this In-N-Out. Everytime I'd walk to class I could smell it. I would eat here 2-3 times a week sometimes. My roomate would go "You want some In-N-Out?" and I'd say no. Next thing I know I'm eating In-N-Out and am in heaven.
I would literally get sick to my stomach thinking of eating another one of their burgers, but when I touched that heavenly sweet succulent bun, I'd fall in love again. Not this fake love crap we have with humans, no, this was REAL love. I'd gladly go off to war and write my double double letters from the front lines.
But then I'd get a letter back saying how she moved on and thought it'd be the best for us if we saw other people. HELLLOOOO!!! i'm in vietnam! Not really easy to pick up chicks when the VC are shooting at me! STUPID TRAMP BURGER I HATE YOU! YOU NEVER LOVED ME!!!!

So when did In n Out become one of those asian type of diners where people hover over your table so that they can swoop in the second your butt leaves the seat? During weekday lunch hours this joint attracts students, kids, business heads, and all sorts of people. And even though some of them don't want to admit it, they're all hover-ers. What boggles my mind are those people who sit at a booth...by themselves! Stop being selfish and sit in the island where you can sit with the rest of the loners. Despite the hover-ers and selfish loners, the burgers are scrumptious, fries are tasty, and the little neon yellow peppers are spicy. Ok, ok I'm a hover-er too.

The ingredients are fresh, the luttuce is crispy, the buns are perfectly toasted, and there is just the right amount of sauce. In n Out is my absolute favorite burger joint, and is one of the few restaurants I will miss in my move to the east coast.
You can edit your burger by asking for extra onions, no onions, extra raw onions, animal style, animal style frieds. You can ask for a veggie burger (which tastes pertty good!), a protein burger. Check out In n Outs website for the 'hidden menu.'
In n Out executives... If youre reading this.... Please fulfill this poor pious girl's fantasies and expand to the east coast (particularly, D.C.!!!)

SOOOO good. I went to UCI. In-n-out pretty much was the staple of my diet. I get double double, protein, both kinds of onions ( whole grilled) fries well-done done, and a shake. Pretty much the best death ever. If Jesus is to come back down for one last meal, it would be in-n-out. OUT.

I usually don't eat fast food but I still like going to In-N-Out on occasion. Last night was such an occasion - when it was late, I was up with friends and I just wanted a milk shake and fries... reeeeeeal bad...
It deserves some props for being open late in the city of Irvine.
Best meal you can buy for less then $7. In-and-Out has never disappointed me over the last 10 years or so I have been a regular customer.

Pros:
-Cheaper than Lee's for a cheap sandwich (hamburger w/ grilled onions and raw onions -- $1.78)
-Double-double
-Free drink refills
-Service is relatively quick during non-peak hours
-Food's pretty fresh
-Closes pretty late
-Free chili peppers (the spicy pickled kind)!!
-One of my favorite In-N-Outs. Close to UCI campus.
Cons:
-Service is slow like molasses during peak hours (lunch time, 5 pm, 11 pm)
-Usually very busy Drive Thru window
Best burgers. Period.
That's really all I have to say but for those who know me, you know I like to write. A lot. What makes this place so good? Everything. You're not a true Californian until you've eaten (and enjoyed) a burger from In-N-Out, and you certainly haven't experienced what little California has to offer, if you haven't tried this West Coast treat.
This location continues to hold record business while many of the stores in the University Center come and go. It's uber crowded during lunch hours with UCI students, University High students, and business people alike meshing together in line to eat what I can only describe as the best burger for the money. Or for any amount, really. Oh, and they open late past midnight too.
Inside - It's squeaky clean and bright inside. Perhaps it's the fact the corporate office is located only a couple hunded feet away. The staff is friendly and you really get a feel of just how non-fast food this place is. It really isn't fast food at all, and should be acknowledged as a gourmet burger parlor. Even Gordon Ramsey proclaims quality at this place. That says a lot. Also, look around - you'll never see a more whiter staff than here.
The burgers - oh man - where do I begin? From the soft spongy buns that have that perfectly grilled outer with the satisfyingly crispy edge down to the juicy beef patties and thousand island spread, man In-N-Out really hits the spot. Everything is 100% fresh and nothing is ever frozen or reheated. My favorite: Double-Double, no tomatoes, grilled onions. Perfection. Of course, like any Californian, you should already know about the "secret menu" with items like the Animal-style fries and burgers. Filling and artery-clogging, yes, but definitely worth trying. For the more daring, try the "Flying Dutchess" hehe. And the best part is the prices - $1.39 will start you off nicely with a great hamburger. Add more patties and cheeses to your sick likenly...
And of course you gotta order the fries which are among tops. Fresh cut, not too salty and not too oily. Fries that actually make you think they're good for you. And top it off with a shake and you got yourself a great meal.
I come here frequently and have been for over a decade and I have never had a disappointing meal. In-N-Out is a gem and is definitely on my top lists of favorite eats when the craving hits. It certainly puts any of the fast-food burger joints to shame as well as the sitdowns that have burgers costing twice as much. No burger will give you the quality, service, freshness, taste, and value that could only come from In-N-Out.

Is this a creation of God? Or was this restaurant created by the Devil himself? How can delicious food be so fucking tasty and affordable, but also be bad for you? Its like God showing us mortals how good we are going to eat in heaven. But also there is Satan trying to fatten us up and make us guilty of one of the seven deadly sins: Gluttony.
This location is a little larger then most of the other IN N OUTS i have been to. The location of it being directly across the street from UCI is a double edged swords. Sometimes there are amazingly cute college girls there. Sometimes there are douche bag college frat guys there. Its a gamble really. But the food there is always excellent. Man, i can smell the animal style french fries and grilled chesse now...
I really belive they intentionally delay to make the orders just to make lines and consequentely make everybody thinks that that big line is because the burgues are so good that nobody minds staying 30 min in line to get a simple chesseburguer...
This is a premier In-N-Out location since it's so close to the corporate headquarters. It appeared in In-N-Out advertisments in the early 90s. During my time at UCI I must have eaten here 50-100 times.
The food is the same as all other In-N-Outs. Depending on how hungry I am I'll get either a double double, double double and a cheeseburger, or a 3x3 or 4x4 (QUAD BABY!) I like to order them animal style like most people. Animal style fries are also good although really quite disgusting, I normally get plain fries and add salt and ketchup.
Their hamburgers are old school. Small in diameter with quarter pound patties but stacked tall kind of like a tasty version of the Big Mac. I hate Thousand Island but I can still enjoy In-N-Out. You can tell it's a decent burger because if you eat it standing around in a parking lot you'll create a 2' diameter pool of grease, thousand island, and lettuce on the asphalt.
Worth it for students, if you've never been, or for the occasional, "I wanna eat like a pig!" session. As hamburgers go, it's still a fast food joint.

In n out is good, but it's not great, compared to other fastfood joints, you don't feel as much grease going down your arteries. I usually get my burger animal style here, which comes with grilled onions and pickles. But you can also get your fries animal style, which is cheese, grilled onions, and there spread sauce. Sometimes I get overwhelmed from eating here with my friends and i'll just switch it up and get the off the road, which they replace the buns for lettuce, overall they're good, always busy and very inexpensive.

On my way to the airport to come home from California I started freaking out because I realized that I had forgotten to go to an In-N-Out. So, rather than getting to the airport and checking in, we ended up driving around for 45 minutes while frantically looking for an In-N-Out near the Santa Ana airport. I kept trying mobile Yelp, but it was just giving me addresses and I needed directions. We stopped at 3 gas stations and at the 1 where the person understood what I was asking he had no idea where an In-N-Out was. I called 411 and got the toll-free In-N-Out number and tried to get the lady on the line to tell me how to get to one as quickly as possible.
We were just about to give up and after nearly an hour of getting dirty looks from all 3 people in the car, we found it. We all ordered cheeseburgers and fries and my brother got a chocolate milkshake. The milkshake was amazing! So creamy and perfectly chocolate-y. The fries were fresh and hot and not soggy and dripping with grease. The burger tasted so fresh and the bun was so soft and warm. Mmmm...and after we all devoured our food, everyone seemed to forget how mad they were at me!
People up in Seattle compare Dick's to In-N-Out, but really there's no comparison. Dick's is like the retarded cousin in the cheeseburger family. I almost regret trying In-N-Out because I know when I go up to Dick's it just won't be the same.

One of the reasons I don't think I could be a vegetarian. The fact that they grill the bun just makes the burgers extra yummy. They always ask if you want grilled onions, and though it takes extra time it's always worth it.
I like to think this In-N-Out is their "control" location since it's right by the headquarters. I used to work in the building in the office park and missed my elevator stop one day, and lo and behold guess who has palm trees etched into the elevators on their floor...
