In-N-Out Burger secret menu items make an awesome burger joint even better.

In addition to my sister’s wedding in the Valley of Fire the highlight of Las Vegas was visitingIn-N-Out Burger.

It was highly anticipated, which was why I needed to dig deep into the internet to find the In-N-Out Burger Secret Menu.

California’s first drive thru burger joint, the beauty of In-N-Out Burger is a super simple menu of burgers, shakes and french fries.

And of course if you want to get crazy a double double. They focus on a few things and do them really well.

But… if you want it’s possible totake those items and reinvent them into new awesome menu items.

The OfficialIn-N-Out Burger Secret Menu

However, the secret menu isn’t so secret. Furthermore, it’s well documented by regulars.

In fact, In-N-Out Burger has buttons on the cash register for the most popular items and a link to itsnot so secret menu to get the best fast food burger.

Seems like aDouble Double isn’t enough for you? You can supersize it and ask for a3×3 or 4×4 –which is 4 cheeseburgers packed on top for each other.

It was once possible to get even more but of course college guys in the Sin City location pushed their luck will 100×100and since then it’s been limited to 4.

But even with these official items, many new secret menu items have been created over the years.

In-N-Out Burger for Carbophobes

• Protein Style is a regular burger without the bun, wrapped in lettuce.
• The Scooby Snack is a single grilled beef patty.
• The Flying Dutchman includes two slices of melted cheese between beef patties.
• The Flying Dutchman Animal Style burger adds diced onions between the cheese.

Vegetarian Options at In-N-Out Burger

• Grilled Cheese:cheese between two toasted buns.
• Cheesy Wiki:three slices of cheese with four slices of tomato on a double toasted bun.
• Wish Burger: a toasted burger with lettuce and tomato, you can add the usual onions, special sauce spread, and pickles.

Most noteworthy:vegetarians should double check to see if the items are cooked on the burger grill.

You Want Fries With That

I had to have the Animal Style Fries, who could pass up cheese fries covered with spread and grilled onions.

While people rave about the burgers, fries at In-N-Out Burger are controversial and many criticize they are too soggy.

But you can ask for them to be cooked well done or fries light wellwhich are crunchier but not overcooked.

Onions Your Way at In-N-Out Burger

First of all, they come as a fresh slice by default. In addition, raw chopped, chopped grilled, and whole grilled onions are available by request.

Your Burger Your Way

• Mustard fried is a must! A mustard grilled burger is THE BEST. The burger is spread with mustard, then grilled. The hot grill burns the tasty mustard into the patty. Because we loved it so much we now do it at home.
• Yellow chilies are available on the burger whole, chopped or on the side.
• Medium rare is available if you ask.
• Double toasted bun or not toasted at all.
• Cold cheesecan be ordered on the cheeseburger if you don’t want your American cheese melted.
• Cut in half perfect for families.
• No salt or extra salt – who orders extra salt at a fast food joint???

Shakes and Drinks

In addition to regular shakes and soft drinks you can choose an In-N-Out Burger menu combination for beverages as well:

• Black and white is also known as a chocolate vanilla swirl.
• Neapolitan is chocolate, strawberry and vanilla combined.
• Around the World all of the shake flavours combined.
• Root beer floatis half vanilla shake and half root beer. You can have it split 50/50 or any ratio you’d like.
• Arnold Palmerwith lemonade and ice tea.
• LemonUpwith lemonade and 7Up
• You can also ordera large shakein a medium cup or ask for asplit shakefor two kids to share.

What In-N-Out Burger Won’t Do

Almost all employees try to please customers by accommodating a variety of unusual combinations in the secret menu at In-N-Out Burger. However, there are a few restrictions:

• No Monkey Burger – also known as fries on a burger. Maybe because they are cooked at different stations?
• No Lemon Fries which are simply fries with a squeeze from a lemon wedge.
• No Roadkill Fries – opposite of a Monkey Burger, this involves a chopped up burger patty on top of animal style fries.\
