In and Out

 DESTINATION: Bakersfield, CA

Today was pretty much a driving day to get halfway to San Diego to spend five days at Del Coronado Hotel.  We decided to try the popular In N Out Burger so we found one in Bakersfield where we are staying for the night.  We came away feeling that they are somewhat better than McDonald’s.  

Carl got the Double Double on the left and I got the Hamburger.  Their menu is extremely simple and the only thing you have a option on for your sandwich is whether you want a fresh onion or a grilled onion.  There are no pickles.  I felt the veggies were nice and fresh, the onion and pile of lettuce were nice and  crunchy and the thick slice of tomato actually was tasty.  The burger seemed fresh like a restaurant burger…each sandwich was made while you waited.  In my opinion, the fries were not as good as McDonald’s and they gave you a boatload of them.  The place was very busy at 7:00pm and the drive thru line was handled like Chick-fil-A. The restaurant itself was very clean.  This chain was created in 1948 and has maintained their simple menu (hamburger, cheeseburger, Double Double).  Fries are one size.  Fresh, never frozen meat and veggies.

Now we know!
