I’m not one of the lucky ones. In-n-out Burger is a huge hit, and it’s secret menu is an even bigger hit, and (sigh) I don’t have access to the amazing, almost elusive (in my mind) In-n-out Burger and its seductively secret menu.
In-n-out has listed some of their secret menu items on its website, so the menu is out of the bag, or… is it in your bag? If being elusive is your thing, then alas, you’re going to be heartbroken by the willingness of In-n-out to let you in on the rumors. Yes, I’m talking to you, Gossip Girl.
Below is the secret “not so secret” menu
Double meat
- Price: Varies by location
- Where is it Available?: All Locations
- How do I order?: Ask for double meat
Double the patties, topped with lettuce, tomato, secret spread (which is reminiscent of Thousand Island dressing), onions (optional), and bun. Music to my ears. Are you hearing the Double mint song, because I am?
3×3
- Price: Varies by location
- Where is it Available?: All locations
- How do I order?: order by name
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold your horses, there.
This In-n-out burger comes with three patties, lettuce, tomato, spread, THREE slices of American Cheese, onions (optional), all on a soft bun.
Can you handle it? I don’t think I can.
4×4
- Price: Varies by location
- Where is it Available?: All locations
- How do I order?: Order by name
This should be called “Coronary on a Plate Burger.” This burger is complete with FOUR patties, lettuce, tomato, spread, FOUR glorious slices of American Cheese, onions (optional), on a bun.
Phew, I’m stuffed just typing that. This is definitely a food challenge for Man vs. Food.
Any takers?
Grilled Cheese
- Price: $2.35 (Price may vary by location)
- Where is it Available?: Most locations
- How do I order?: Cheeseburger sans burger patty.
This is not your momma’s grilled cheese sandwich. It’s grilled cheese if it was on steroids.
This is complete with two slices of American Cheese, lettuce, tomato, spread, onions (optional), on a bun. You heard me.
This is not a toast sandwich people. This can only be handled by a hearty bun.
Protein Style
- Price: Varies by location
- Where is it Available?: All locations
- How do I order?: Order by name or say you want lettuce instead of a bun
This one is not that exciting, but it is for the carb-conscious. This Protein Style burger is a hamburger wrapped in lettuce in lieu of bun.
What’s the opposite of carbetarian? This is who this order is for.
Flying Dutchman
- Price: $2.10 (Price may vary by location)
- Where is it Available?: All locations
- How do I order?: ask for a meat patty with cheese only – no bun
“I don’t need no stinkin’ veggies.” If this is your motto, look no further.
This is just the meat and cheese. Boom! Talk about going back to the basics.
Animal Style
- Price: Varies by location
- Where is it Available?: Most locations
- How do I order?: By name
You get your choice of burger, with lettuce, tomato, mustard, mustard cooked hamburger patty (genius), pickle, extra spread, and grilled onions.
If your favorite thing in the world is tangy mustard, this is the burger for you. I’ve never even heard of a hamburger patty being cooked in mustard. It’s infused meat, peeps.
Oh what culinary genius-ery is going on here? That’s right. This deserves a made-up word.
Toasted Bun
- Price: No change
- Where is it Available?: Most locations
- How do I order?: Ask for your bun grilled
Ummmmm… Yes. This apparently is a secret. (Cue the music) You can get your bun toasted. Secret’s out of the bag.
Veggie Burger
- Price: Varies by location
- Where is it Available?: All locations
- How do I order?: Order by name or specify your toppings
So if you’re a vegetarian, I’m not sure why you would want to go to a hamburger place. However, for argument’s sake, let’s say you’ve been taken hostage and you’re forced to order your only sustenance from In-n-out. Well then they have you covered, and you are one lucky hostage.
Just order the Veggie Burger. This comes with sans meat. I guess you could say Hamburger, hold the ham, add extra veggies. This would really confuse them, but it would be fun.
Cut in Half
- Price: Free
- Where is it Available?: All locations
- How do I order?: Ask for your sandwich to be cut in half.
If you’re a light eater or are feeding the kiddos, asking for a burger cut in half is ever so helpful. It’s perfect for sharing.
Remember kids, sharing is caring, so remember, “Care Bear stares”, or some sort of nonsense.
Anyways. You get the picture.
Neapolitan Shake
- Price: $2.10 (Price may vary by location)
- Where is it Available?: All locations
- How do I order?: Ask that all three shake flavors be mixed
Can’t decide on a shake flavor? Then don’t. Have it all is my motto.
Strawberry, Vanilla and chocolate… Oh my!
Root Beer Float
- Price: $2.10 (Price may vary by location)
- Where is it Available?: All locations
- How do I order?: By name
This is a classic. Creamy vanilla ice cream topped with sweet Root Beer.
Ah, those were the days. Wait, I can have that day today.
Tea-Aid
- Price: Varies by location
- Where is it Available?: All locations
- How do I order?: Ask for it by name
An Arnold Palmer should go by no other name, but alas, it is. This is half tea half lemonade. Get it.
Lemon-Up
- Price: Varies by location
- Where is it Available?: All locations

This is half lemonade, half Seven Up. Even though it’s half and half, it’s wholly delicious and refreshing.
Extra Secret Sauce

Sauce lovers. Take note and ask for extra.

Grilled Onions
- Price: No change in price to grill
- Where is it Available?: Most locations
- How do I order?: Ask for your onions grilled
Aren’t all burgers better with grilled onions? They aren’t quite as pungent as they are in the raw form, and they add a certain charred, sweetness to your meal, when they are grilled just right.
Animal Style Fries
