This thread is in no way paid for and is not in any way affiliated with In-n-out burger INC.

For those who dont live in the west, In-n-out burger is a chain burger joint.

but anyway heres why it's the best buisness model out there.

First off, Limited menu allows for perfection of the items on it. (disregarding secret menu items)

Also its family owned.

No stock, no franchises.

All of their locations(in vegas) Are located near major tourist attractions, and the resturaunt alone is a tourist attraction as well.

Here's the menu: (it shows up right away in google)

Secret menu;

so many people searched it google put it in the results

Regular:


Simple right?

People who work there make 15$ an hour, get 401k, and health benifits.

Also i would like to point something out about the soda area.

7-up drinks: 7-up, dr pepper
Coke drinks: coke, diet coke, lemonade
pepsi drinks: Iced tea(brisk).

See? 3 Companies on one fountain, where else do you see that?

I think that in and out approached all the companies and offered to carry their drinks.

anyway, In-n out burger corperation has 290 locations in the west coast.

and last year they raked in 640 million dollars just last year.



I just wanted to make a sort of reportish thread for two reasons, To spread a message, and get some practice in for honors english.

immasOnly good thing about 5 guys is the cajun fries.


Which you could also get at Jack in the crack in curly form for half the price - or least you used to.

DingoSeanIn both cases the fries are very good, though...

Still not Little Big Burger's truffle fries though. The hype there is ultra deserved.

my god i'm salivating now.



can confirm ate there last thursday for the first time...delicious

Yeah, and not only that, but holy selection! (this isn't even the full choice)



I mean, fuck.. they have 16's of RR and OG for like 3$, as well as HUB and Caldera (which was my collegetown brew)

And, seriously... nowhere else serves true catsup... and theirs is fucking Camdens (seriously, get a fucking bottle of it - it's spicy and amazing as fuck - so good on bbq hotdogs/links)

DingoSeanI don't care what religion you adhere to. It's 2014. There's no tolerance for that assbackwards shit anymore, in my book.

Free speech it up all you want - but expect a retort to that speech if it's supporting anyone not having basic rights.

I'm fairly positive you're thinking of something else. InNout wasn't even in Northern California until the mid-late 90's...

Shit, it didn't even venture into Reno until 10 years ago.

they are, technically.. but indie companies that make 'catsup' like Camden's tend to produce it more traditionally - it's thicker, borderline marinara consistency and normally seasoned better.

In Los Angeles... and in Southern California is where it generally remained until the late 1990's. I have pretty real doubts as to whether they made it to Michigan before other reaches of the Southwest.

I can guarantee they did not. They have never closed a store once opened. Their whole business model is to only expand within their limits and stay less than a ~8 hours drive from a supplier. Texas was a big deal when they opened there and it all relied on finding new suppliers.

207Double Double Meal is 6.50

2 Cheeseburgers Meal @ Mcdonalds $4.89

Keep in mind it's different depending upon where you live. In Cali Mcds is more expensive, and I'm in AK right now and in Anchorage a 2 cheeseburger meal would prolly be 8 dollars. Man I wish I had an animal double double right now.

There is no way that is going to be as good as fresh... In N Out is AWFUL as leftovers.

...also, I'm going to have In N Out for lunch again today, suckers.

The one thing about In N Out that really sets it apart is the fact that it's so high quality, and you can get it at a drive thru... When I was in Truckee and drove down to Sac or the Bay Area, i'd always stop at the Auburn location because of the access to a cheap, decent meal. That said, as far as eating in, I'd rather go to so many other burger spots that take the same amount of time to get your food out to you.

Funny you mention that. This thread made me want a 4x4 animal style rare, so on my lunch break I went to the Northern most In n Out in California in Redding. Mind you this location is one of the busiest in the state since it has just as man Oregon customers as local ones. Anyway, the chick next to me, about mid 20's was straight up INHALING a burger. She had an Oregon "O" tattooed on her foot and so that got the conversation going and it ended with her admitting that she had 2 more burgers in the bag next to her that were going into the cooler in the car to eat later on down the road. Haha, not to mention my buddy in Bend always asking me to bring him one. Shits bomb. I really want to give that Little Big Burger a try Sean!

Hahaha Dude, I had so many friends while living in Oregon who would drive down to redding on an In N Out roadtrip for whatever dumb fat reason... I went with them just to take photos of Shasta en-route.

If you ever go to Eugene or Portland, you HAVE To, Nate. It's fucking awesome, and they have an absolutely bonkers beer selection.

Also, fuck UofO lolol they lost to UofA last weekend.
