Well, I've set something of a new record. 13 days it took me to write this review. I kept remembering when I wasn't near my computer and actually forgot about it for the last week. Then I thought "I should go to In-N-Out tomorrow" and was like...whoops. So this will be short and sweet because I don't remember ALL the details.

Burger - What I do remember here was that I forgot to tell them mustard fried and am glad I did. I haven't had a plain cheeseburger in a while and I'll be sticking with it for at least a few weeks. Always good to go back to the classic.

Rating - Good and almost great.

Fries - The fries were a bit over done but the taste was good. Being a bit over cooked did give them that almost dry sort of texture.

Taste - Good but not great.

Diet Coke - If this were pass/fail then it would have gotten a pass.

Having a baby has made my memory go to crap, but hopefully I don't take more than a few days to post the next review after getting a new number. On that note, tomorrow I'm going to In-N-Out Burger!

Burger - Other than the atrocious presentation, there wasn't much bad to say about the burger. However, having to deconstruct the burger and rebuild it because of the horrible piece of lettuce was a real bummer. It also made this probably the messiest I've ever been when eating an In-N-Out Burger. I actually had to tear up this chunk of lettuce in order to have it on all of my burger. A bit of the bun was slightly too toasty as well.

Taste - 1.8 (out of 2)

Texture - 1.65 (out of 2)

Presentation - .4 (out of 1)

Fries - I would be fairly happy if In-N-Out Fries were always like this. They weren't perfect by any means, but they were good. Texture wise they were mostly on the positive side. A bit of crisp but nothing too crunchy (or soggy). A bit on the salty side at the bottom of the pile though.

Taste - 1.75 (out of 2)

Texture - 1.75 (out of 2)

Diet Coke - 1 (out of 1)

The drink gets a full point simple because I don't remember if it was perfect or not. And since 99% of the time the drink is perfectly fine, I'll assume that was the case here as well. Only interesting thing might be that I paid with a gift card from Christmas. I probably have paid with a gift card once or twice before though, so that might not be all that interesting.

Burger - I'll be honest, this burger was very good. This is going to be a short review because while not everything was perfect, the only outright flaw I can think of was the lettuce. I would have preferred a bit more, but that's partially my fault since I stopped getting extra lettuce for some reason. One of the better burgers I've had in a while.

Taste - 1.9 (out of 2)

Texture - 1.8 (out of 2)

Presentation - .8 (out of 1)

Fries - On the other hand, the fries tasted very good but the texture wasn't really up to par. Not very much crisp at all. The amount of salt was spot on. This could have been a record breaking meal if the texture of the fries was better. Though I haven't added up the score yet, so maybe it still is.

Nothing really to note here. It's been colder outside the past couple of weeks so it has been extremely easy to find a seat outside. Not that I've ever once been to In-N-Out and failed to find a seat by the time my food came out though.

Burger - This is a very interesting review to do because if you take a look at the picture you'll see that the presentation is atrocious. The cheese seems to favor one side and it almost appears that there is no lettuce. I did have to fix the layout of the burger. That's really unfortunate because texture and taste were probably the best I've had in months. This time it was back to mustard fried and it was just the almost perfect tasting burger. Texture wise the only minor issue was a small section of the bun that was over toasted. It's a shame about the presentation though.

Taste - 1.9 (out of 2)

Texture - 1.95 (out of 2)

Presentation - .5 (out of 1)

Fries - Like the burger, there were only minor issues here. The texture was near perfect in that the outside was crispy but not overly hard. Unfortunately the inside was just a tad too cooked so some fries had the sort of dry texture to them. Nicely salted though and probably the best fries I've had (from anywhere) in a while.

An update on the previous interesting note, as while it's been barely over a week since the last visit, the entire place was already rebuilt. The only difference from the current layout to the previous layout is that the "booth" for people waiting for their to go orders is no longer straight. It's almost an L shape.

Burger - I went back to mustard fried/grilled last week (when I got another duplicate) and kept with it this week. It adds a bit of tang and mixes up the flavor a bit and I like to vary my burger slightly every now and then. Overall it was very good. The presentation and texture was the low mark here, as a large part of the bun was overly toasted (which results in some wasted bun). And as you can see in the picture, some ingredients were basically falling out and needed to be moved around. Flavor wise there was pretty much nothing wrong with this burger. I think I might actually have to give it full points in that category. 

Taste - 2 (out of 2)

Texture - 1.5 (out of 2)

Presentation - .6 (out of 1)

Fries - Fantastic fries this time. Texture was not perfect but close to it. Just a bit golden brown on the outside and not overly dry tasting. Taste was very good as well, basically how I always expect In-N-Out fries to taste when I think about them.

Taste - 1.85 (out of 2)

Texture - 1.8 (out of 2)

Diet Coke - 1 (out of 1)

It's been a while since something seriously interesting happened but this time the entire inside of the restaurant was gutted. No tables, no condiment area, etc. Only things still standing were the soda area and the front counter. Inside was filled with plastic white "patio" tables and chairs. It was pretty crazy, but it turns out they are just redoing the inside. Though based on my quick chat with the cashier, it won't be a redesign just a rebuild (as he said it was one of the older In-N-Out locations).

Burger - Presentation was much better this time but unfortunately the texture took a nose dive during the last few bites. I couldn't score it too low because most of the burger was great, but the last few bites were very toasty bun and a bit overcooked meat. Taste was spot on though like it has been the last few weeks.

Taste - 1.8 (out of 2)

Fries - Two categories got swapped this week. The taste wasn't as good but the texture was almost perfect. Nothing out of the ordinary here though.

Most interesting thing? Three weeks in a row with an original number. Last time I even had three original numbers in a month was in February. And we only have 1/3 of the numbers left!

Another new number so fast? If only this could extend to more than just back to back original numbers. Maybe I'll finish out the remainder of the numbers by having the next 34 be all origins. I wish.

Burger - Sticking with the original order still (for those that have forgotten, it's just a cheeseburger without onions). Presentation was way off here as the lettuce was all bunched up and had to be spread out before I started eating. Texture was once again perfect and there's nothing I could ask for differently in that area. Taste was not quite as good as last week's but still made me remember why I love In-N-Out.

Taste - 1.6 (out of 2)

Texture - 2 (out of 2)

Presentation - .6 (out of 1)

Fries - The fries tasted really good to me but their texture was lacking a bit. They have this look to them like "I'm going to be just a bit crispy" but then they were sort of flimsy and at times even chewy. Still, the flavor was almost perfect and probably only just below perfect due to texture affecting flavor.

Taste - 1.8 (out of 2)

Texture - 1.2 (out of 2)

This was probably the slowest I've ever seen this particular In-N-Out Burger. There were not only three or four tables outside that were open, but there were at least two tables that could fit four people open on the inside as well. With hardly anybody standing around waiting for food.
