I’ve had the 4×4 and Animal Style burger but never knew about all the french fry combinations. California’s In-N-Out burgers are amazing for a cheap good(greasy) meal, try something from the Secret Menu next time.

Highlights:
“Animal Style” Burger: “Mustard-cooked beef patty, additional pickles, extra secret sauce with grilled onions.”

Fries: “Animal Style”: “French fries with secret sauce, onions and cheese on top.”

Grilled Cheese: “Cheeseburger without the ‘burger.’”

Neopolitan Shake: “Strawberry, vanilla and chocolcate all swirled together — not blended.”
