A Public Service Announcement


Be a POWER In-N-Out Burger consumer by ordering from the ‘secret menu’:

  • “3-by-3″ = three meat patties and three slices of cheese.

  • “4-by-4″ = four meat patties and four slices of cheese.
  • “2-by-4″ = two meat patties and four slices of cheese.

    *Note: You can get a burger with as many meat patties or cheese slices as you want. Just tell the In-N-Out Burger cashier how many meat patties and how much cheese you want and that is what you’ll get! For instance, if you want 6 pieces of meat and 10 pieces of cheese tell them you want a “6-by-10.”

  • “Double Meat” = like a Double Double without cheese.
  • “3 by Meat” = three meat patties and no cheese.
  • “Animal Style” = the meat is cooked and fried with mustard and then pickles are added, extra spread and grilled onions are added.
  • “Animal Style Fries” = fries with cheese, spread, grilled onions and pickles (if you ask for them).
  • “Protein Style” = for all you low-carbohydrate dieters, this is a burger with no bun (wrapped in lettuce).
  • “Flying Dutchman” = two meat patties, two slices of melted cheese and nothing else – not even a bun!
  • Fries “Well-Done” = extra crispy fries . . . even better than the regular!
  • Fries “Light” = opposite of fries well-done, more raw than most people like ‘em
  • “Grilled Cheese” = no meat, just melted cheese, tomato, lettuce and spread on a bun.
  • “Veggie Burger” = burger without the patty or cheese. Sometimes we call this the “Wish Burger.”
  • “Neapolitan” Shake = strawberry, vanilla and chocolate blended together.

This is not a joke, by the way – the order taker will not question you about it, you’ll get a receipt itemizing your order. And if you DO order a “6 by 10″ you really will get 6 patties and 10 slices of cheese on a bun, so don’t fool around – this information can be dangerous!

What they really need is a dish they used to serve at the old Hippo Burger in San Francisco: The Hearst Kidnapping Burger (a bun with no Patty!)

    HE’S ALIVE!!!!!!!!!! Haven’t seen anything posted by you for ages. Where do you get all your fascinating information. Next time I go there, I am going to get the extra crispy fries. Or should I say Fries Well Done.

    So this is 3-1/2 years late, but I was so happy to see a mention of Hippo Burger. I’ve added a link to this post from my blog.
