At In-N-Out you can order custom-made food. Some customizations are available at no additional cost; those that use inventoried items such as cheese, meat, and buns cost extra. While it's not on the printed menu, there are buttons on the cash register for these items. You can pretty much order anything you want, as long as they have the ingredients (e.g., putting onions in a milkshake). While the "secret" menu is listed on the In-N-Out corporate site, it is far from complete.

Also, keep in mind that since you can customize anything, you can feel free to order whatever you want and create your own "double-secret personal menu". Get a 0x3 with four slice of tomato on a double toasted bun and call it a "cheesy wiki". The following are just the custom orders that are popular enough to go by well known names.

Burgers

Stock: If you ordered your burgers off the menu they would come with:

but instead consider ...

Custom Burgers

Note: Many of these styles can be ordered in combination (for example, Double-Double Animal Style No Salt).

Animal style is the most popular "secret" style. In addition to the standard toppings, animal style burgers include:

Protein style, popular among [wikipedia]Atkins dieters, no/low carb eaters and people who just like lots of lettuce:

3×3, 4×4, or generally M × C refers to a burger with a varied number of meat patties (first number, M) and slices of cheese (second number, C). For example, the popular Double-Double would be 2×2 (pronunced "Two-by-two" when you order it), while a burger with 3 meat patties and 1 slice of cheese would be a 3×1 (a "three-by-one").

Double-Meat (a.k.a. 2×0) is a Double-Double with no cheese.

One-by-Bitch (a.k.a. 1X0) is a One-By-One with no cheese. Not all employees will appreciate the term one-by-bitch, however, and will ask you to revise your order. Of course, a more common term would be "Hamburger" rather than "Cheeseburger."

The Flying Dutchman:

Grilled Cheese:

Wish Burger or Veggie Burger:

Burger Options

Mustard Grilled patty spread with mustard, then cooked.

Chopped Chilis adds some jalapenos to the bottom of your burger.

Mustard and/or ketchup can be substituted for the spread. Only designates no spread. Cashiers may ask if you want ketchup or mustard instead.

No-salt has no salt added to the the patties. Once you add the condiments and cheese, you don't need the extra salt anyway and you can leave without feeling like a dried-out-but-satisfied lump.

Extra toasted bun/lightly toasted bun/untoasted bun. The bun come toasted by default, but you can ask to have the level of toastyness varried. The buns are toasted to add some rigidity to the burger, as an untoasted bun is flimsy under the weight of all the meat/cheese/condiments. This also prevents sauces and toppings from excessively soaking into the bun, thereby avoiding the last-bites-are-soggy problem. This needs to be the first modification requested, based on keystroke order into the register.

Extra tomatoes, extra lettuce, extra onion You can ask for all of these at no extra charge. They'll really fill out your burger and make it a more balanced meal. Especially if you're a veggie fan. I find extra raw onions to be a bit much, though. You can also ask for both raw and grilled onions.

2005-08-19 19:27:56   I recommend the animal style french fries. The cheese, spread and onions add a unique taste to the fries. —SimonFung


2005-08-19 22:17:36   i recommend getting a regular cheese burger with animal fries inside. They can do it. It's amazing. —JaimeRaba


2005-08-20 22:12:19   Fries well-done have the potential to be incredibly delicious. Unfortunately the amount of 'well-done-ness' is directly proportional to their busyness. If they're busy, they won't be well done. If nobody is there, you'll get burnt potato chips. During normal business hours, though. YUM! —MichaelGiardina


2005-11-03 00:21:37   I heard a rumor that must be varified that they will serve you filofel if you ask for it. —DanielGonzales


2005-11-03 17:31:24   Lettuce and tomatoes are not inventoried so I always ask for "extra lettuce, extra tomatoes" to fatten up the burger. —MelvinQuan


2005-11-03 17:46:03   What's the biggest burger you could do for free? Extra lettuce, tomatoes, (grilled?) onion, pickels, bun?, sauce?, .. —JaimeRaba


2005-11-03 17:46:18   For vegetarians.. how about grilled tomatoes? (grilled pickels?) —JaimeRaba

Officially, the only items that are allowed to touch the grill are buns, meat, cheese, onions, and mustard


2006-02-18 16:28:59   Are the pickles frees? —SuBnorMal


2006-08-11 20:17:29   wow, I had no idea, this is amazing! learn something every day! —JoeRunnels


2006-08-11 22:04:11   If you eat protein style long enough (like me), you end up preferring hamburgers without lettuce as a matter of taste (not diet). —SS


2006-08-12 03:17:39   The 5x5 spread only I ordered yesterday tasted so good! (not very healthy at all) —JeffKwong


2007-08-17 15:48:53   I have always wondered if the 4x4 version of the Flying Dutchman would be called the double dutch. Anyone tried it? —CraigFergus


2007-11-12 19:08:53   how do you order "fries inside?" would you just say, "one hamburger, fries inside, animal style, no salt?"
Also, is there an additional cost for "fries inside?" —ArianeMetz


2008-10-01 17:05:10   Everything Animal Style is the way to go. My old roommate and I would head out here for some late night grub rather frequently. We did it much more during finals. Anyway, we would each order two double-doubles and two orders of fries—all Animal Style. And we would have a glorious feast. I think it's good study food, too. I think In-N-Out is why my grades drastically improved. —CurlyGirl26


2009-01-07 16:35:25   i just ordered the "animal style" fries

look i love fries but this thing looks disgusting on the fries. You will need a fork. Its just not hot enough. My uncle ordered the animal style fries too. He took one bite and said ugh. He ordered the animal style double burger and liked it. Somebody tell these guys to heat up the fries. Has anyone ordered a one x bitch yet. —andrew1977


2009-03-13 20:59:50   My friend and I just a few days ago got a 12x12 in St. George, UT. It was actually 2 4x4's with 2 flying dutchmans because they wouldn't (and didn't know how to) make a 12x12. We of course got the animal style fries. —dbaer


2009-05-14 19:17:50   You left off:

Mustard Grilled Patty - patty spread w/ mustard, then cooked —ThelDavis


2009-05-14 19:22:49   I figured out this is a wiki! —ThelDavis


2009-05-15 08:37:10   I always ask for whole grilled onions. Of course they take a little longer and the cashier has to yell it out to the cook so they have enough time to get it down on the grill early, but they are tasty! —AmLin


2009-08-09 11:24:36   My favorite burger is any meat/cheese combo with all four kinds of onions (whole, whole grilled, chopped grilled, and chopped raw), with extra spread, extra lettuce, and chilies. You can also get whole chillies on the side if you like. —ARWENNHOLD


2009-11-13 16:47:23   I heard of a "Monkey Style." Apparently it is a myth cause the server just laughed at me. —SunjeetBaadkar
