I Review In N' Out Burger! (MY FIRST TIME!)
Things we can learn from the video
Press to jump
- 1:27Gary orders two burgers, Animal Style fries with chopped chilies, and a strawberry milkshake.
- 4:30The Animal Style cheeseburger earns praise for its taste and value.
- 7:02He likes the strawberry shake's thick texture and ice cream flavor.
- 8:12The fries' toppings impress him, but the fries underneath taste dry and lack potato flavor.
- 9:47He confirms the second burger is the three-patty version he ordered and begins tasting it.
- 14:43The receipt breakdown leads into his assessment of freshness, price and an overall nine-out-of-ten rating.
The queue stretches outside, it is past midnight, and Gary has a straightforward question about In-N-Out: "It is cheap. But is it any good?"
For his first visit, the Gary Eats host orders enough to test more than the standard cheeseburger: an Animal Style version, topped fries with chopped chilies, a three-patty burger and a strawberry milkshake. He takes the tray to an outdoor table on Sunset Boulevard and begins working through it.
The cheeseburger quickly supplies an answer. "Oh god, that's a good burger," he says. At $4.45, it gives him the combination he keeps returning to throughout the review: flavor, freshness and a price he considers reasonable.
The fries are a different matter. Gary praises the toppings and grilled onions, but underneath them he finds dry fries without much potato flavor. It is a useful distinction for anyone wondering whether Animal Style improves the whole side or simply supplies the best part of it.
The thick strawberry shake fares better, inspiring a little self-description: "That is a bit like myself. Very thick. But nice and sweet."
His American food tour has included George Motz's Hamburger America and a cheaper-burger comparison involving White Castle. Here, the final receipt check ends with a nine-out-of-ten verdict, despite the fries.
Among viewers, the conversation includes memories of eating In-N-Out while visiting or living in California. Others pick up on a smaller pleasure: Gary bringing his particularly British manners to a late-night fast-food order.

That drive-thru worker was not prepared for British politeness at midnight.
@Positive-Sparks_2kSee it on YouTubeAs a brit that lived in Cali - its one of the few things i truly miss from there.
@jonnyvaleninte637See it on YouTubeBeing from California and living in the UK for the last 10 years, this is really making me miss In-n-Out! Honestly, I am not a fan of the animal style myself. Their normal burgers and fries and milkshakes are very fresh tasting and delicious
