Burger - Pretty good texture and taste overall. Actually the texture was near perfect. Rarely do I eat every single last bite, because usually the bun is over toasted or the ingredients are lopsided, but this entire burger was finished off. I guess that means high marks all around, just not perfect. After all, look at that poor lettuce (or don't look because it's hard to see that there even IS lettuce). Unfortunately the lettuce issue prevents the texture from being perfect.

Taste - 1.75 (out of 2)

Texture - 1.9 (out of 2)

Presentation - .8 (out of 1)

Fries - So close to perfect. I did have to add some salt (remember, we no longer dock points for that). Texture wise they were ever so close to being the best they could possibly be. Just a few of them were too soggy.

Taste - 1.8 (out of 2)

Texture - 1.8 (out of 2)

Diet Coke - This was fine, can't say anything bad about it.

Wow, first new number in a LONG time. However, I've been keeping a secret. I had a really busy time the last new number I had and have subsequently not posted the review. I took some minor notes around the time so I could remember for the review, but by now it's been so long that I won't be able to go into detail or give it a real score. But be on the look out for what I'll all the "retro review" sometime soon. After all, I have to make sure I keep track of all of these. Otherwise I might think I'm behind one more than I actually am.

After tallying the score it turns out this beat out the previous high score by a slight .05 and that previous high score was part of the most recent post. Good job In-N-Out Burger!

Guests #30 and #42, your orders are ready.

Double review! One is extremely late and the other is fairly late! Hooray for life!

Burger - Double-Single is my go to order now. Cheese was a bit lopsided and I ended up with quite a bit of bun at the end of the burger. Otherwise it was quite good and nothing else really stood out.

Taste - 1.7 (out of 2)

Texture - 1.8 (out of 2)

Presentation - .7 (out of 1)

Fries - These fries had some of the best texture I've had in a long time. Although the ultra crispness was accompanied by a bit of dryness. They weren't as flavorful as I would have liked though.

Taste - 1.4 (out of 2)

Texture - 1.75 (out of 2)

Diet Coke - Can't really remember either soda (which probably means they weren't bad), so both will get a 1 by default.

Interesting note would be that it was crazy windy, which is why I am holding the receipt in the picture. After going to In-N-Out basically once a week for 4+ years, I'm running out of interesting things.

Burger - Same as the previous week but mustard fried this time. Although I don't think I really could taste the mustard fried on this burger, I still feel it was slightly tastier than the previous week's burger. Presentation was mostly good and texture was as it should be.

Taste - 1.8 (out of 2)

Texture - 1.8 (out of 2)

Presentation - .9 (out of 1)

Fries - Better than the previous weeks fries although very similar. I think they tasted slightly better and the texture was just a little less crisp/dry which was good. They weren't soggy by any means, but they weren't as close to well done as the previous meal.

Taste - 1.6 (out of 2)

Texture - 1.9 (out of 2)

Diet Coke - Can't really remember either soda (which probably means they weren't bad), so both will get a 1 by default.

This was a crazy clear sky and the sun was beating down on the table. I was squinting often and couldn't really rest my hands/arms on the table as it was too hot. I honestly thing the heat caused me to enjoy the meal slightly less. Also, this was easily the slowest I've ever seen this In-N-Out during lunch time. More than half of the tables were available at the time of ordering. That's nearly unheard of. Without looking back at previous entries, I think this might be the highest scoring meal since switching to the In-N-Out specific grading system.

Burger - The burger, which I'm still going with the Double-Single these days, was pretty good. Removed one of the tomato slices like usual. It could have had more lettuce...maybe I should go back to getting extra lettuce.

Taste - 1.6 (out of 2)
Texture - 1.7 (out of 2)
Presentation - .7 (out of 1)

Fries - Unfortunately, even with salt, these were some of the most bland In-N-Out french fries I've ever had. Their texture was mostly good so it's a real shame the taste didn't match the standards they've set for themselves.

Taste - 1.2 (out of 2)
Texture - 1.9 (out of 2)

Diet Coke - One of the rare cases where I had issue with the soda. Seemed like the carbonated water to syrup ratio was off.

.4 (out of 1)

All in all it was one of the lower quality overall meals at In-N-Out. On the other hand I had a great day out with the two most beautiful ladies in my life, my wife and daughter. So maybe it was one of the best meals?

Guest #23, your order is ready.

Quickly writing this so I don't forget details as it's already been like 5 days.

Burger - tomato was bad, everything else good but nothing stood out to make it great

Fries- not bad but similar to burger there wasn't anything that made me think "wow that was good"

Drink - a bit too carbonated

EDIT: I ended up being too busy with life (work, family, home) to get around to fleshing out this review. I'll try not to let it happen again.

Burger - Delicious. I'd say the only downside to the whole burger was the texture, with the bun being a bit hard in places. And two tomatoes, but that's a simple fix! Nothing wrong with the way it looked either. Really solid burger.

Taste - 1.95 (out of 2)

Texture - 1.6 (out of 2)

Presentation - 1 (out of 1)

Fries - Unfortunately the worst part of getting an order to go is that the fries tend to get cold and soggy/limp fairly quick. I've come up with a relatively good method of helping to prevent this which is leaving the bag partially open to steam doesn't get stuck in there, but even with that the texture still ends up leaving something to be desired. Taste wise these fries were not really affected by the texture, so that's good.

Taste - 1.75 (out of 2)

Texture - 1.25 (out of 2)

Diet Coke - 1 (out of 1)

By default the Diet Coke gets a perfect score since I actually had a can of coke back at work. I really love the way this picture turned out. If you couldn't tell it's inside the bag. Makes me think of a glamour shot or something. I think this also might be the first to go order with a new number, so it's good to know new things can still happen three years after starting this project.

Overall rating: 8.6/10

This review was originally written in the middle of the night while I was holding my baby.

Burger - Bun was to toasted in some spots but lettuce was good texture and amount. Taste was great but not perfect due to bun. Was lopsided with more meat and cheese on the visible side.

Taste - 1.6 (out of 2)

Texture - 1.35 (out of 2)

Presentation - .7 (out of 1)

Fries - Almost perfect. Only a few limp fries keep this from being a prefect score. Prefect crispness without being too dry. Looked great too. Not too salty, just right.

Taste - 2 (out of 2)

Texture - 1.95 (out of 2)

Diet Coke - 1 (out of 1)

It was chilly outside.

Burger - Back to mustard fried for the last few burgers. This was actually a really good burger but the primary issue was lack of quality lettuce. It might have been one of the highest rated burgers if not for that. It still might be (maybe I should start keeping a record of the highest rated burger and fries individually). Presentation was nearly flawless and texture was great, minus the missing crunch of the lettuce. Only one tomato slice so no extra work needed.

Taste - 1.8 (out of 2)

Texture - 1.7 (out of 2)

Presentation - .9 (out of 1)

Fries - They came out looking like they would be a bit soggy but they were fairly good texture wise. Only a few of them ended up being soggy while most were firm but not quite crispy. Good level of salt as well. Nothing spectacular or noteworthy here, just normal high quality fries.

Taste - 1.7 (out of 2)

Texture - 1.55 (out of 2)

Diet Coke - .8 (out of 1)

Not a perfect tasting Diet Coke but it wasn't bad either. Not much to point out today, other than the fact that I think it's been nearly two months since the last original number.
