Community reacts to Idaho's first In-N-Out

[@georgespalding7640]

In-N-Out has stayed faithful to their roots in creating a hamburger joint with a simple menu and freshly cooked food and ingredients with a fair price. Employees that are paid decently is another good point.

[@gagandeepkang3997]

And the price is good. About 8 $ for cheese burger fries drink. It's good. And the fries are fresh potatoes. Never frozen

[@stevelouie5928]

Where i live in California, there are two in and outs within 5 minutes of each other. And they are both busy all the time.

[@yoshi759]

Actually same

[@bouji_]

There are three within a 5 mile radius of where I'm at. Two off the 99 freeway, and the third just opened off the 58 Westbound. They are all always packed as well. They must just print money there. 😂

[@stevelouie5928]

@@bouji_ They always paid their employees well. They don't have extra over head like marketing cost. Have you ever seen a commercial for in and out? Their food speaks for itself. The savings go to the employees. Mcd has to give you a toy so you have to eat their meals.

[@bouji_]

@@stevelouie5928 I've seen a lot of commercials for In-N-Out. It's a regional brand though, so they're probably pretty cheap to run.

In Southern California, it's actually rare to see an empty line at In-n-Out. My favorite burger place ever. Enjoy Idaho!

The ONLY time In-N-Out is empty is up to 5-10 minutes after they open and 5-10mins before they close.

[@realMDizzy]

The only time I saw an empty In N Out was when they opened Raising Cains across the street from the one in Northridge but I'm sure that didn't last long.

[@davidhadden-ii5hs]

I live in Germany. After my 11 hour flight into SFO, I head to my favourite In and Out.......

[@oOKitty86Oo]

I live in San Francisco, but I was born/raised in Los Angeles in 1986. In-N-Out has NEVER gotten my order wrong, and I have NOT ONCE been disappointed in my meal. My best friend in High School worked there, and they not only paid well, she said it was the best job she'd ever had. Moral is always high and she was there for about six years, providing for her family. World traveling chef and journalist Anthony Bourdain once called In-N-Out Burger "the only American chain worth a damn" and praised their french fries and shakes, also pointing out that the company "treat their employees like human beings" His favorite was the animal style double double, by the way. My almost weekly go-to is the Number 2, mustard fried with grilled onions and if you are feeling extra hungry, get your fries 'animal style'. Or, if you just like the 'secret sauce' and want to dip your fries in it, you can ask for a 'side of spread' with your order. I'm so curious, though, seeing as you are from Germany, what is your go-to order when you get In-N-Out? No wrong answers :)

[@Nite_Owl_]

You guys make great burgers over there in Germany, tho.

[@kumaquattro-le1vk]

McDonalds and the other fast food burger shops should take notice of the MEGA success of In-N-Out . The three main reasons In-N-Out is so successful : 1. Super clean restaurant , there's always someone cleaning tables, windows, floors and restrooms !! 2. The employees are super friendly, bright and clean cut with no visible tattoos .They all work like a well oiled machine because the company took the time to train them well .(Very important). 3. The food is made to order for each customer and is FRESH !! The fries you are eating were whole potatoes just minutes before that. When you bite into the burger, that meat is very hot because it just was removed from the grill . Meat is never frozen and fries never come out of a frozen bag either . This is what is called, fresh food . Because of all the above, customers don't mind waiting a few short minutes to enjoy a fresh quality, made to order meal , rather than the other burger places that have the food sitting in warming bins, YUK !! And no, I don't work for In-N-Out, I'm just a long time customer . Clean, great service and fresh food !! (sorry, I have to say it, "That's what a burger is all about !)😀

[@razor49er]

And the Price is still good too Unlike everybody else that’s charging 20$ for a burger Combo

[@SUPERBUZZED]

The best part about In-N- Out is their burgers (everything else is alright to say the least, minus the animal fries > never tried) and if you like onions, I get the animal style burger with the grilled/caramelized onions. With that said, I prefer the thick steak-like slab of raw onion. Nice slab of raw onion adds a big crispy texture to every bite is the best way to have an In-N- Out burger! In my best opinion. Mmm so, so, good .

[@skimdockdiamdock6123]

The saddest thing is that In-N-Out's quality used to be the standard for American fast food restaurants before corporate greed took over. For this reason alone I have dropped most fast food burger chains, and from what I'm seeing price-wise lately, it was a great idea. Speak with your wallets people! We can live without McDonalds fries! (KFC is a prime example of this. Look at any KFC in the 80's.)

[@12012channel]

I just hope this expansion isn't the beginning of them becoming Burger King or McDonalds. Raising prices and cutting corners on quality. Or worst becoming five guys and charging $30 for a burger to keep up with cost of expanding.

Been going to to IN 'OUT since the early 90s when I was traveling ocassionally through central California. It had ways had the taste of an old fashion burger and fries from Mom and Pop hamburger stands of the 50s. So glad the company has grown and still keeps to its original quality in food and customer service. I keep hearing in this video about " animal fries" from these Idaho folks,I never heard of it.

I lived in the city of San Fernando California back in the 70s and there was an In-N-Out there. Their hamburgers were great. I left LA in the late 80s and didn't go back to visit until 2016. Of course I had to go to an and In-N-Out and shortly after we landed at LAX and got our rental car I saw one so we stopped there and I ordered a "Double Double". It was nothing even close to the quality back when I lived there. It was no better than McD's, and I've not eaten McD's but a few times since I left LA. I don't get how anyone can say In-N-Out is even close to good anymore.

[@carlc5748]

I lived in San Fernando, as well, even during the 1994 northridge quake. I still have a magazine of the damage from the Feb, 6 1971 Sylmar quake where downtown San Fernando was demolished, I enjoyed living there, their police force was as good as Beverly Hills! Portions of a lot of the "CHiP's' TV series were filmed there.

@@carlc5748 : I moved to Sylmar in 1973 and lived there for about 6 years and felt some aftershocks that were pretty strong. I also knew Gary Davis who did the motorcycle stunts for the "CHiP's' TV series. They did a lot of those on the 210 fwy when it was just built. Used to watch the "hangliders" jump off the mountain there, and saw a few who crashed their kites there, and even a few who were killed doing that. Those guys were flat out crazy!
