In-N-Out Burgers is a West Coast institution. And one of the keys to their success has been keeping it simple. There are only four food items on the In-N-Out menu: Hamburger, Cheeseburger, Double-Double and French Fries.
In-N-Out compliments the food with the standard array of Coca-Cola beverages and three shakes: chocolate, vanilla and strawberry. And that’s the menu in its entirety…
…or at least that’s what they want you to think. The truth of the matter is that there is an extensive “secret menu” available for those in the know. In fact, the secret items actually outnumber the items legitimately on the menu.
This isn’t just stuff made up by bored employees. If you order a Flying Dutchman, “Flying Dutchman” prints out on your receipt. It’s in the computer.
There is lots of information out there on the Internet about the secret menu, but no one seems to have gotten it all, and a lot of what is out there is just plain wrong. Nothing is more embarrassing than ordering a secret item that doesn’t exist.
So, through dilligent research, we have managed to produce what we believe is the definitive guide to the In-N-Out secret menu.
Click on the name of the tester to see photos of our daring taste-test staff — Mgmt.
2×4 Burger
Tester: Josef
Description: A “2×4″ is a burger with two beef patties and four slices of cheese. You can also order a “3×3,” a “4×2″ or any other meat/cheese combo your little heart desires. Rumors of a “100×100″ are widespread and thus far unproven. (Yeah, yeah. It’s been proven now. We know. —The Mgmt.) We’d love to see a photo, though.
Comment: The 2×4 was humongous, but great.
3-by-Meat Burger
Tester: John
Description: Three beef patties, no cheese. You can pretty much order “any number”-by-Meat.
Comment: Triple the meat, triple the pleasure. Do you want your colon blocked but don’t want to wait for years and years for it to happen? Well, In-N-Out has the burger for you. I miss my cheese.
“Animal Style” Burger
Tester: Patti
Description: Mustard-cooked beef patty, additional pickles, extra secret sauce with grilled onions.
Comment: I love this burger. Best if ordered without tomato. It has lots of oniony, cheesy, goodness with “special sauce” to boot. (No one ever says that the sauce is just Thousand Island dressing.)
“Double-Meat” Burger
Tester: Maureen
Description: A Double-Double without the cheese.
Comment: The Double-Meat burger was huge — very filling. I would have liked some sauce, however. It seemed a little dry.
The Flying Dutchman
Tester: Steve
Description: 2 beef patties, 2 slices of cheese. That’s it. No lettuce. No onions. No bun. No nuthin’.
Comment: Two all-beef patties with cheese. What more can you say?
Grilled Cheese
Tester: Rachel
Description: Cheeseburger without the “burger.”
Comment: I always order the grilled cheese because I don’t eat beef and veggie burgers are boring. It isn’t as boring as a regular grilled cheese. The sauce makes it better.
“Protein Style” Burger
Tester: Aaron
Description: Any burger you want wrapped in lettuce instead of that carbohydrate-laden bun.
Comment: It felt like it was missing something…oh yeah, the bun! The lettuce wrapping actually made it less messy, but I was still hungry afterward. Next time, I’ll try “Animal Style.”
Veggie Burger
Tester: Chandra
Description: Hamburger with no burger and double tomatos.
Comment: Expected a “veggie burger.” Got a bun with whole grilled onions*, sauce, lettuce and double tomato. Not bad, but rather overly simple for eating out. Won’t order it again. I’ll stick with my usual Grilled Cheese with grilled onions.
“Extra Toast”
Tester: Shireen
Description: Leaves your bread on the grill a tad longer resulting in “crispy buns,” which is not as dirty as it sounds. Can be ordered with any burger.
Comment: About the same. Maybe slightly crispier than normal — but not much.
Fries: “Animal Style”
Tester: Ian
Description: French fries with secret sauce, onions and cheese on top.
Comment: Excellent! I will definitely order these again. Mmmmm…cheesey, oniony goodness!
Fries: “Light”
Tester: Desiree
Description: French fries cooked a little less than normal.
Comment: My light fries were very good.
Fries: “Well-Done”
Tester: Patti
Description: French fries cooked a little longer than normal.
Comment: I couldn’t really tell the difference from these vs. the normal fries. Not very impressive. I don’t think I’d bother asking for well-done again.
Choco-Vanilla Swirl Shake
Tester: Rachel
Description: Chocolate and vanilla shakes in the same cup. Swirled, not blended.
Comment: It tastes like a regular chocolate shake to me.
Lemon-Up
Tester: Tevin
Description: 1/2 Lemonade, 1/2 7-Up. Since they started letting you get your own drinks, you can make this yourself.
Comment: I thought it was OK. And it tasted like a tangerine.
Neopolitan Shake
Tester: Maureen
Description: Strawberry, vanilla and chocolcate all swirled together — not blended.
Comment: I loved the Neopolitan Shake. I expected all the flavors mixed together, but they were separate.
Tea-Ade
Tester: Miles
Description: 1/2 Iced Tea, 1/2 Lemonade. Since they started letting you get your own drinks, you can make this yourself.
Comment: It wasn’t good.
Failures
Tester: Various
Description: Not everything that we found on the Internet actually existed. So here are a few imaginary items that we ordered so you don’t have to.
Wish Burger - I assume this is a reference to a song from 1957 by The Chips, where you have two slices of bread, and you wish you had some meat. It’s supposed to be a veggie burger. Our lovely cashier had no ide what we were talking about. But she did recognize the words “Veggie Burger.” So we ordered that instead.
“On the Sal”: “On the Sal” was supposed to give us all the vegetables that normally go on the burger, with secret sauce on top, and nothing else — basically a tiny side salad. Once again, the lovely cashier had no idea what I was talking about.
But ordering the non-existant “On the Sal” taught us something important:
Although she had no idea what I was talking about, the cashier was perfectly willing to give me an “On the Sal” if I could describe it to her. Evidently, the registers at In-N-Out are a little more sophisticated than the “picture of the fries” model at Mickey-D’s.
The employees at In-N-Out will do anything to a burger if you ask them.
This probably doesn’t include stripping naked and dancing around the burger while praying to your dark gods, but it might — we didn’t ask.

Theres something called Monkey Style. With fries in the burger. The fries are suppose to be bananas.
March 2nd, 2005 at 8:55 pm
I thought “light” for the burger meant No Sauce.
I do that and then add Mustard and Ketchup.
March 2nd, 2005 at 9:00 pm
Hadn’t heard of this so-called “Monkey Burger.”
If anyone orders one, takes a picture with it, and sends me the picture + a receipt showing it is a “real” item: I’ll add you and your burger to the menu.
That stands for any other secret item I missed, too.
March 2nd, 2005 at 9:31 pm
Also a 4X4, pretty much any double numbers. 4 x 4. 4 beef patties and 4 slices of cheese. Running about 5 bucks.
March 2nd, 2005 at 9:34 pm
Yeah, we covered that under “2×4″ if you look closely.
March 6th, 2005 at 11:37 pm
Hi! I love the animal-style fries. Hmm… I think I will try a monkey burger. Today, 3/6/05 is the very first day that I have ever heard about the secret menu. My mother looked at the animal-style fries when the lady handed it to her in the drive-thru window and she said (if I can recall),”It’s a sick joke! We want our money back!” =P, Hehe…. just as I expected. (which I wanted to happen)
March 10th, 2005 at 5:24 pm
No, there is no “Monkey” burger, it’s just a confused name for Animal Style. I worked for In-N-Out for 5 years as a Manager for 3 of them.
2×2, 4×4, 8×8, 16×16 are all true. As is Animal fries (A new official addition to their secret menu).
As are:
Veggie Burger
Grilled Cheese
Protien Style
Animal Style
Fry light
Fry well
Medium Rare meat
Light toast bun
They are no longer allowed to do “Inside out” which was the bun put on backwards, it was good but the new GM won’t allow it any more.
The Arnold Palmer (Ice tea and Lemoaid)
Fried mustard (similar to animal without the grilled onions or extra spread, does include pickles)
Plus most of the other stuff already listed.
March 21st, 2005 at 6:32 am
i always get the a cheese burger w/ grilled onions and chille
so for those of you who likes their burger with a little spice
and Chille!!
March 21st, 2005 at 6:34 am
ADD Chille Not Chille
March 21st, 2005 at 6:37 am
thats
ADD Chille not And chille
March 21st, 2005 at 6:39 am
for me, i always get the 4X4 with monkey sauce and i like to bring something called ABC sauce from 99 ranch.
and for those of you who have seen “SuperSize Me” me and my friend did it for In-N-Out and we asked them to “Amimal Me”
thanks
March 21st, 2005 at 6:40 am
sorry folks that was “Animal Me”
thanks
March 22nd, 2005 at 7:21 pm
You guys should try a veggie dutchman. like a flying dutchman but instead of cheese its lettuce and a patty with secretsauce
April 7th, 2005 at 8:55 pm
mmmmm i like in and out espcially ANIMAL STYLE
April 17th, 2005 at 4:51 am
dont hurt the animals
April 25th, 2005 at 10:55 pm
High quality article, John, and everyone else involved. An Animal Style 4×4 sounds great right about now, but I must…fight…the urge!
But the greatest thing about the article, in my opinion, is the shirt John’s wearing sporting the greatest Quackbusters line ever! Very nice.
May 4th, 2005 at 12:52 am
Awesome page. Mmmm, animal style. Makes me wish we had an In-N-Out in the Pacific NW. A boy can dream…
May 10th, 2005 at 8:39 pm
LOve In-N-Out. I’m a cook, (only when I’m at home)What temperatures do they grill their meat and buns on? Can’t get it right.
Thanks

In-N-Out’s Secret Menu
Reading HH’s In-N-Out review reminded me of a tidbit that every self-respecting burger fan knows about: In-N-Out’s secret menu.* When a simple cheeseburger isn’t enough, you can try some of these ca-razy combinations: “4-by-4″ = four meat patties and f…
June 13th, 2005 at 5:50 pm
I’ve been working at in n out for about 3 years now, and you missed one thing…..a Root Beer Float. There was also one guy that ordered a 50X50 for a birthday.
June 13th, 2005 at 6:02 pm
Hmm, I always thought the Root Beer Float was on the menu. I’ll check next time I’m out. If it’s not, I’ll add it here.
June 28th, 2005 at 10:37 pm
I used to work at IN-N-OUT a couple years ago. It’s the best burgers I’ve ever had in my life…before I started working there I didn’t eat meat for 7 years!
Anyway, I just wanted to confirm that IN-N-OUT does in fact have a secret menu that only the true fans know about. They will basically create almost anything you ask for. The best was when some guy got a 20 x 20!!!! I couldn’t even wrap the thing!!! I will also never forget when a customer asked me for their burger “doggy style” (he thought he was so cool because he thought he knew something that nobody else knew) he was so wrong, and i had to pretend to cough so he didn’t think I was laughing at him.
July 6th, 2005 at 1:02 am
I don’t know if anyone else likes their fries well done, with cheese? Tastes pretty good to me
July 16th, 2005 at 3:31 pm
half true, “The employees at In-N-Out will do anything to a burger if you ask them.”
one time i was in long beach and i wanted fries in my burger instead of the meat. they were great and did it. and the lady at the cashier made sure it was what i wanted.
but,
in torrance i asked for the same thing, and they did not do it. the man at the cashier said they did not do that.
July 19th, 2005 at 10:31 am
If you like only mustard, order your burger “mustard instead”–but if you want dressing (secret sauce) AND mustard, say “add mustard”
It’s after 10:30, so I’m on my way right now… Dub-dub animal style, fry well, lg Dr. Pepper.
———-
When I was a little kid, I went to In-N-Out #1 (my family NEVER ate at McDonald’s!). Didja know that at the start In-N-Out served Pepsi products? It’s about the only thing that has ever changed on the official menu.
July 19th, 2005 at 10:50 am
Oh! Another thing that has changed (although not related to the menu) is that when In-N-Out first opened and for the first who-knows-how-many years, the only employees were young white men. What a change THAT is!
August 11th, 2005 at 11:38 pm
They also have a very yummy root beer float, they make it with vanilla milk shake and root beer, they even give you a spoon (how nice!)
August 25th, 2005 at 9:45 am
My brother ate a 20×20 by himself. Got the pictures to prove it.

September 2nd, 2005 at 2:08 am
I’m surprised no one pointed this out yet, but your description of the 2×4 burger is wrong — it’s two meat patties and FOUR pieces of cheese.
Two meat patties and two pieces of cheese is a Double-Double, and it’s already on the official menu.
September 6th, 2005 at 11:09 am
MmMM…this article makes me want to go eat IN-N-OUT. There’s one just down the street from my apartment.

I too, worked for In-N-Out from 1992 to 1996. The wish burger does exist, however it is just another name for the veggie burger. When I worked there the button for it said
veggie/wish.

Thanks for pointing out the glaring typo that no one noticed. I fixed it.

November 13th, 2005 at 1:59 am
the lil’ peppers are called PEPPEROCINIs…
November 23rd, 2005 at 3:32 pm
There is loads missing, but nothing major. For example, there are 114 ways to order non-float shakes that I can think of. If you include floats, it’s at least 5000, probably a lot more.
LTO and Wish Burger were taken off registers awhile back. Medium rare is off Arizona registers and Volcano Top was removed from all registers for health code reasons. A few employees know what “on the sal” is, but most reply, “What?”
December 4th, 2005 at 7:13 pm
Just so you know, the half lemonaide, half iced tea is not original to IN-N-OUT, and it’s actually called an “Arnold Palmer” after the famous golfer who always ordered his drinks that way. Some places call them half and halfs, but they’re really Arnold Palmers, and you can order them at any restauraunt that serves both.
December 5th, 2005 at 9:03 pm
I wish there were In-N-Out’s on the east coast =(. Just reading the menu makes me wanna hop on a plane for it.

you can order a 100×100 at In’N'Out. Though I can understand why the person who ordered it never wants to go back again. What amazes me is that they seem to

January 29th, 2006 at 12:06 am
for those who have no In n Out…you should know that the patty itself is fairly small BUT it has the best, freshest burger taste of ANY chain worldwide and frequently tops corner stands for flavor…Mine: Double Meat Pickle and dressing, well done fries , root beer float. I have driven over fifty miles one way to have these.
January 29th, 2006 at 9:26 am
WHOA!! i never knew In n Out offered so much stuff. When i still ate meat i used to go nuts on a double double a shake and fries, but i lost interest when i quit with carnage. I think im gonna have to go get a some animal style fries and have like an arse load of grilled onions on them. Thanks for all the info, my life has been altered permanently, =P

You can also order fries with melted cheese put on top. That’s some good stuff.
When they do it, as for the “Cheese-It’s” on the side. The cheese-its is just the crispy cheese left on the grill once they melt the cheese and put it on your fries.
January 30th, 2006 at 7:51 pm
My fave was the Dirty Sanchez style. The register lady looked very confused, but finally got it. And like a good In n’ Out employee, gave it to me just like I wanted. The $6 price was a bit higher than expected, though. Will order again.

February 5th, 2006 at 8:56 pm
The cheese has rennet so in a round about sorta way you are still eating a dead animal product.
February 7th, 2006 at 1:34 pm
Gosh! i really miss the HUGE hamburgers with extra cheese pickles on the fresh buns.Yum one good thing about california is diffently the “In and Out Urge” meaning The IN and OUT Buger. Of course! UMMMM!!
February 8th, 2006 at 3:29 am
If you really want to piss off a cook, ask for something like a 4×4 animal style extra whole-grilled onions instead with an extra toasted bun, chopped chillies added, with no salt on the meat patties cut in half. That’ll learn ‘em.
February 8th, 2006 at 8:06 am
I’m from the east coast and I just found out about animal syle a few weeks ago. What’s with the secret menu?! Animal style should be enjoyed by all.
February 8th, 2006 at 10:14 am
the whole grilled onion is the best.
Ive had just about everything on here, and I always go back to the 2×2 with a whole grilled onion.
February 11th, 2006 at 6:16 pm
just to let people know in n out is not a chain, it has been family owned by the snyder family since the 50’s and the on the sal and wish burgers are just old names that they don’t use anymore.
February 14th, 2006 at 1:25 pm
Actually, they are a chain. They just aren’t a “franchise.” Fast Food Nation mentions them as the one chain that does fast food right.
I agree.

I Love in-n-out’s double double w/cheese.I usually drink sprite with lemonade. You can add hot sauce to their ketchup, but I prefer mine plain as is. If you ask for an X-Large soda,they most likely won’t have it. Think they should have every size soda cup.

March 14th, 2006 at 12:31 am
they covered just about everything that is on the menu. Some things they can put in your burger:whole grilled onions, fried mustard, probably fried ketchup, chilies, raw chopped onions, xtra toasted or light buns, meat:md rare to xxxxxx well, those are the names of things that are actually on the cashier’s menu (xcept fried ketchup, but they would do it). The guy who said the rootbeer float was right, but you can get any flavor if you want (w/any kind of soda). You just have to tell them, because they have the system set up so you can type anything on the receipt. When I worked there I worked with some legends; This girl made donuts out of the puritan hamburger buns. She would roll the dough into balls and then pour chocalate shake on them. Next she would throw them into the frier and take them out later and put sugar on them. You can make them do this, if you talk to the right worker. The people that work at the register are usaully people that haven’t been with the company for to long. If you wan’t to talk to someone who knows what they are doing, you should talk to somebody who works past 11 pm or from 10 am to 11 am. The people who open and close the store know about most this stuff. You can also have them wrap a burger with tomatoe instead of lettuce. I don’t remember what this is called. You can make them put xtra chocolate and stawberry into the shakes, its a pain in the ass, but you can. You can make them get you a chocolate and stawberry milk. They just use the syrups and stirr it. I don’t work there anymore, so I don’t mind being a gaint pain in the ass to the people who still do. Haha make me proud.

i work at in n out on lake mead and rock springs. it is by far the best fast food place there is. our only competition is ourselves!! we do have a secret menu but people who come in all the time already know what we have, just ask. our store i think is the most friendly in n out in vegas. all of our customers that come in regulary love all of the associates. we can only sell 8*8’s now we can not sell over that, because of the 100*100 pictures. i dont exactly know the whole reason but i know it has to do with that. there is another store going up soon on Ann road and the 95, it should be done towards the end of this year. and i have one thing to say if people dont like our food i am sorry but dont come in and tell us, it just pisses us off. thanxs guys i love this website. it is great to see these comments. feel free to call 18007861000 and tell them which in n out u went to and give a great congrats. we love getting those. it especially makes our managers happy.

I sure wish there was a IN and OUT here in Houston TX. I love there homemade chocolate shakes as well. YUMMY!! Its TWO O’clock AM and I’m starving Just thinking of their grt food and wonderful sevice!!
March 17th, 2006 at 9:56 am
oh hey tigger we dont have chili, its just grilled onions cheese and the fry sauce. i like it except for the onions. i know we need in n out’s lost of places. but because it is family owned it doesnt get around to a lot of places. Sooner or later I am sure it will end up there. The shakes are awsome! i love them haha. well bye

I am interested in picking the brains of anyone who has worked at In N Out (particularly managers). I am in the early stages of opening a similar type restaurant chain in the midwest. This could become a paying consulting assignment if desired.
Please reply to this comment with any contact info. Thanks.

order it occasionally and I’m always
satisfied with the content and flavors!

I am originally from California but now reside in Charleston, South Carolina. The thought of In-Out makes me homesick. Everytime I got back to Cali for the holidays the first thing I do is stop by the In-Out burger next to LAX and get a juicy double double with a pink lemonade. The best welcome home greeting a person can ever have. Mmm…

Always, ALWAYS ask for grilled onions. It’s just so much better than plain ol’ onions.

GOOD GOD!!! what they do to food these days. The ‘animal style fries’ look REVOLTING!! By the way they are about 1800 calories, leaving only 200 calories for the standard diet. Yes i am a proud calorie counter!!
April 13th, 2006 at 3:32 pm
if u dont like the animal fries then dont eat them. yes they have a lot of calories but some people like them. if u are trying to watch ur calories then here is an idea dont eat at fast food places.
just an idea.

I’ve known there was a secret menu but I didn’t know what it entailed. So I FINALLY got a bright idea…….Google it!!
I just printed out the menu……..In-N-Out burger here I come…….I’m looking forward to the “Animal Style” fries!! along with a 2×4 extra toast, and root beer float! ahahaha I’ll need to work out 8 hours to work this meal off!!

not selling 100×100s?A couple of my friends and I had an idea: We ordered 50 2×2, and it worked!! We were able to eat almost all of them (i think there were about two 2×2s left)I don’t see whats the difference one 100×100 and fifty 2×2s are the same thing! thanks to loopholes, everyone can enjoy a 100×100 once again.

I’m a California transplant living in Nebraska. Everytime we go West on vacation, we start looking for those In-N-Outs in Western Nevada and ride them on into California. I had heard tell of Animalizing before, but these other secret menu items just changed my life forever. I’ll probably still order the same thing everytime, but just knowing the secret stuff makes me feel connected that much more to Cali, and knowing is half the battle.

This web site is full of bullsh!t. First off, your pictures suck, whoever made those burgers are the worst cooks in the company. There is no sercet menu, either you know what your ordering or you don’t. Jack@sses who order Monkey stye or gorilla style don’t know what the hell they are ordering. Animal style is the only special style, aside from protien which is just a lettuce wrapped burger. A veegie is just like a burger only no meat or cheese, and a grill cheese is just a cheesburger with no meat. A fry light is a lightly cooked fry. “Animal” fries are fries with spread, cheese and grilled onoins on them. A fry well, is fry cooked longer. So it comes out darker and cripser. A flying dutchman is a doubl-double with no bun, just the meat patties with cheese. As for the shakes, you can get the flavors mixed, its no SECRET. Whoever posted that one is a real dumb$hit. And just to clarify for the retards animals style is just a regular burger, we just fry mustard on the meat patties and add extra sauce, pickles and grilled onoins. Any one else who wants the truth just call this #18007861000.

Dude, I do agree that whoever made those burgers should NOT have been passed off, because yeah, they look like ass. But hey man, these are our CUSTOMERS- if it makes them happy, then let’s just let them have their “secret” menu. I don’t know about you, but my bonus grows as the company grows and we build sales. I don’t think calling the people who are ultimately responsible for your paycheck “retards” is really going to help that cause. Maybe you need a refresher on the Golden Rule or the 4 Nevers…Do you think that Mrs. Snyder would have shared your sentiments?

I point you to the official “In-n-Out” Web site: http://www.in-n-out.com/secretmenu.asp
In-n-Out seems to think there is a secret to the secret menu. They list some of these items on the “Secret Menu” page of their Web site.
All in all, I think I’ll file your comment under “D,” for “Why are you acting like such a Dick?”

I always get fries well done. They are crispier and you usually get more of them. They are much better than the regular fries. In either case, you gotta eat them before they get cool or they are not good. Your order will take a bit longer with fries well done. I once tried to order a double-double animal style and the drive through cashier didn’t know what that was, so I would suggest trying a new item at more than one place.

Has anyone heard of dump truck style? The cook scrapes the grill and tops the burger with it…
September 13th, 2006 at 3:25 pm
I had it last night! WOW! According to the in-n-out off El Toro Road, they are not allowed to place the scrappings on the burger, but he was nice enough to put them on the side so we could do it ourselves. 2 x 4 animal style, whole onion DUMP TRUCK STYLE! WOW WHAT A BURGER!
September 21st, 2006 at 3:45 am
UMM…HEY EVERYONE…INTRESTING SITE. THANKS FOR THE PICS OF THE 100X100. I’VE WORKED FOR IN-N-OUT ALMOST FOUR YEARS NOW, AND TO SOME DEGREE YOU ARE ALL RIGHT ABOUT CERTAIN THINGS. IT’S QUITE INTERESTING, EVERYONE COMES UP WITH SOOO MANY IDEAS. I WON’T SPOIL YOUR FUN, BUT WE AS A COMPANY HAVE A LOT OF NEW RULES AND REGULATIONS, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE DEATH OF MRS. SNYDER A MONTH AGO. WE CAN NO LONGER MAKE ANYTHING BIGGER THAN A 4X4. DUE TO THE FACT THAT THERE ARE COOKS OUT THERE THAT SHOULDN’T BE. I KNOW I CAN MAKE A PRETTY DAMN GOOD LOOKING 10X10 AND SO ON. AFTER THAT IT GETS TRICKY BECAUSE OF PACKAGING CONSTRAINTS. NOT TO BURST ANYONE’S BUBBLE, BUT DUMP TRUCK STYLE AND THOSE OTHER CRAZY THINGS DO NOT EXIST. ASSOCIATES {EMPLOYEES} COULD GET IN DEEP TROUBLE IF CORPORATE KNEW SOME OF THESE THINGS. THANKS FOR ALL YOUR LOVE, WE SURE DO APPRECIATE IT. WITHOUT YOU GUYS, OUR COMPANY AND IT’S ASSOCIATES WOULD BE NOWHERE. P.S. THE COMPANY JUST GAVE US A GOOD SIZE RAISE, WITHOUT YOU THAT WOULDN’T BE POSSIBLE. PEACE AND LOVE. GOD BLESS.
September 22nd, 2006 at 6:54 am
Umm, hate to burst YOUR bubble JC, but we did have a dump truck at the El Toro location, the cook did say that he was not allowed, but did it any way. GOTTA LOVE THOSE RULE BREAKERS! It is unfortunate that things are changing it up at the greatest hamburger stand in the world. I can only hope that they never tell me no to a 2×4 animal, whole onion with animal fries. Thanks for the info JC and good luck with the corporate changes…

Is there a name for a burger with bun, double meat, double cheese, and thats it?!?!
September 24th, 2006 at 9:39 pm
yeah theres a rumor that if you ask for the stinkburger they wipe the top bun on the outer rim of the employee toilet and serve everything else normal, my cousin greg got it last summer for fun but he realized it was just chocolate syrup!@!!!

My Mom orders the “wish” burger all of the time in San Francisco and Mill Vally’s locations. It is a burger wrapped in lettuce, just as this site refers to it as a protein burger.
October 23rd, 2006 at 11:37 pm
so basically i cant order a 100×100? is there any loops around this because i want to try this 100×100 myself.
October 27th, 2006 at 5:44 am
the wish burger is a veggie burger not a protein burger…those are two different types of things…no you can no longer order a 100×100 the max is now a 4×4 new company rules…sorry =0(. as for texas can you wait 3 or 4 years our company is in the process…later dayz.
October 29th, 2006 at 11:01 pm
So is the stuff about the new company policy being that nothing bigger than a 4×4 can be ordered true?
November 1st, 2006 at 8:24 pm
i went to IN-N-OUT and was looking forward to a delicious 7×7….to my unpleasnat surprise i was told nothing bigger than a 4×4……..WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS..this happened at 2 different locations and is supposed to be a company policy
November 9th, 2006 at 2:03 pm
Hi Everyone!
Tonight I will be trying my first ever In&Out burger in Weed, California. My husband did not believe me when I told him there was a “secret menu” - after a quick search, I found your site! Thanks for all the great info. I believe I will have a med-rare animal and a neopolitan shake with light fries. Yum! I hope everyone has a great weekend and I’ll come back on Sunday to report on what I thought. =) Michelle
November 14th, 2006 at 7:19 am
yes yes yes…very sorry to all our customers but the 4×4 rule is true…the only way to change things if ever…is to launch massive complaints from YOU the customers….call 800.786.1000..customer service and give them a piece of your mind…a lot of us(employees) don’t like this rule…they changed it right after our owner esther snyder passed away…a lot of things are changing…peace and love.
November 15th, 2006 at 11:57 pm
There have been a few changes with IN N OUT and its burgers, here they are:
1) there is no such thing as MONKEY STYLE, DOGGIE STYLE, MONSTER STYLE, only ANIMAL STYLE is the real one.
2) No longer can you order anything larger than a 4×4 (four meat, four cheese) as IN N OUT officials have deemed that there is no quality in anything bigger than that
3) The menu recently got a bit more spendier, because IN N OUT has its own trucking team, which means gas, which means more $$$ therefore resulting in inflation
4)Fries “well” means double cooking time
Fries “light” mean they are cooked 2 minutes less
5) there are a few things IN N OUT will NOT do with a burger such as… Fry Ketchup on your patty(They will fry mustard though), They will not add fries on your burger, and they will not serve your burger raw or anything near it.
6) If you have any more questions about IN N OUT, ask to speak to a MANAGER. Please do not ask a Dining room attendant, as they probaby are a new-hire, and may not have the correct answer, but feel obligated to answer anyways.

November 19th, 2006 at 2:50 pm
I just had IN N OUT a while go, I was trying their food for the first time. They just put a new IN N OUT where I live. I live in Yuma,Arizona. I went there on a Sunday, when I got there there was a huge line of cars in front of us. Since there was such a long line, they had put out some employees outside of the IN N OUT resturant to take our order. So their costumers didn’t have to wait a long time for their food. I was impressed by the great busniess model. IN N Out’s was great! You should try it, you’ll love it!!

December 5th, 2006 at 4:17 pm
I know its open to interpretation, but trying to get the consensus best order for someone, like myself, who likes a lot of stuff on their burgers and fries.. so far im thinking a 2×4 animal style, animal fries with “cheese its” (the scrap cheese… can they still do that?) and a root beer float.. any better suggestions???
December 21st, 2006 at 1:45 pm
I worked at In-n-out for 15 yrs,as store manager for 10 of those years, I can remember when In-n-out didnt even supply ketchup for the fries.But that was when burgers were 55 cents Fries were 10 cents and the only soda cup was a s-12 for 10 cents.Anyone remember those days?????
December 24th, 2006 at 1:38 pm
When I started at In-n-out It was 1979 at store # 2 in Covina Calif.This was one of the two lane drive through stores.Can you believe the cooks or Managers as you know had to remember orders for Three cars on each side,Walk up orders were written down.the rest the cook had not only remember the burger but also what the customer wanted on the burger,Those were the days when the cook shouted out the back is three one is,or three two are.The assocites at In-n-out allthough the greatest in the industry couldnt even imagine.Ask a old associate what a AUDI is ,not a burger for sure….great memories…
December 24th, 2006 at 9:41 pm
In-N-Out is my favorite fast food restuarant. Hands down, the animal style fries are bomb. I suggest half pink lemonade and half 7up on the side. I’m looking forward to all of these “secrets” posted. Thanks for this, I will be coming back many more times to try each one. The inventor of In-N-Out and all their concepts is a genius. He IS a real buisnes man. Me love you long time ^_^ V and that’s f’shagginoff.

January 2nd, 2007 at 4:29 pm
I just read up. I see that there have been a few of you who have had the same experience. Bummer! I guess that you can get a 4×4 and add a flying dutchman.
Man I am hungry again.
January 5th, 2007 at 10:41 am
[...] In-N-Out has a “secret menu”. But it’s not so secret any more since even their corporate site links to it. There are whole web sites dedicated just to the secret menu. Here’s an In-N-Out Secret Menu site I found especially entertaining. [...]
January 5th, 2007 at 3:35 pm
I am an associate at In-n-Out Store #158 in San Jose off of Tully Ave. and E. Capitol Ave. (shameless plug!) and it is true, we no longer make burgers bigger than a 4×4. This is because there have been too much bad publicity on the internet regarding our burgers made into obscenely large, and therefore, ugly presentations of our “quality” foods.
As for a “Monkey style” burger, I’ve never seen or heard of it, but we might be able to make it if the managers allow us.
January 9th, 2007 at 6:08 pm
The Ohio State Buckeyes ate at in-n-outs during the week before the big game. The players were featured on the news comparing Wendy’s to in-n-outs. they really liked the burgers at in-n-outs. i had never heard of that place before.
i noticed the big bellies on some of the players before running onto the field before the game. I think that is why they were so sluggish during the game against florida . . . they ate too many 4×4s.

store #136. Monkey style does not exist, and no, we’re not allowed to serve fries on the burger, some stores might do it, but they shouldn’t.
and oh yeah, we also carry chili peppers.

I love In N’ Out. The secret menu and all the permutations of the burger are awesome. Unfortunately though, all the associates at the register to take your order don’t get it, some do, some don’t.
I usually order a 2X4 animal style, whole grilled onions, medium rare, animal fries, chili peppers, root beer float. (just thinking about it almost clogs my arteries…)
It’s a 50/50 proposition whether or not I will get the burger the way I want it. Sometimes is comes out right, sometimes I get a 4X4, sometimes I get a 4X2… I can always tell the newbie associates, I start to order and they get a “complete panic” look on their face.
