Cheap eats in a "deserted" desert (2 of 2) I happened to be in this neighborhood right at around lunchtime. I had just gotten one of those nicely priced haircuts at the student salon of the nearby beauty school. I had to drive past this In-N-Out, being on 111 and roughly at the border of Rancho Mirage and Palm Desert. Unlike many others, I don't fawn over In-N-Out out. I will periodically go into one and eat if I don't have a more specific idea of where I want to eat, so I turned the car into their driveway and looked for a parking spot in their shopping center lot. You have to give them credit for always knowing how to incorporate a drive-through and make the overall scheme work fairly well. I was planning to eat inside and enjoy their air conditioning! I stuck to their easy to order combinations and got a cheeseburger, fries, and a drink. The cheeseburger and fries were fairly good, but not stellar. They feature Coca-Cola products, but also offer a pink lemonade in both regular and lite form. I've had it before and it's very tasty, so that's what I helped myself to. All of the employees I interacted with were very helpful. I was surprised to find the store that busy in the off-season such that it took a little bit of time to receive one's order, but it was not excessive. Given its being in this nicer area, I found the clientele to be fairly diverse yet well-mannered. The interior of the store is definitely clean, and there's always an employee nearby who is cleaning tables as well as stocking condiments and other dining room items. I was sort of clueless about In-N-Out growing up in SoCal, even though I did know it was there. I just stuck to Bob's Big Boy, Norm's, and the fast food majors for eating on the go. Of all places, the first In-N-Out at which I ate was at the Gold Country's Auburn, California location. I was dealing a client situation in that area right off I-80 along with a coworker who came from Vietnam and took some good-natured razzing from us for being a Berkeley grad ... actually the only one in the office. She suggested it, so I steered the car in the direction of that Auburn In-N-Out and, lo and behold, I finally became acquainted with this outfit. As such, I will now periodically eat at In-N-Out and this Rancho Mirage location is definitely recommended. read more

In-N-Out Burger - Double double - Burgers Near Me - Rancho Mirage, California

We visited this In-N-Out during our stay for stagecoach. Their drive-through was extremely busy. They have plenty of parking near the front so we decided to walk in. The line to place the order was short, but the weight was very long. There were plenty of open seating for us to wait. We eventually got our food and it hit the spot. It was not the best In-N-Out we've been to, but it was OK. The ambience was very casual with a lot of people coming from the festival just wanting to get something to eat at a reasonable price. The biggest disappointment that we had from our meal or the animal style fries. We were craving these and when we got them, they barely had the toppings. read more

It's In-N-Out and it's always flipping fantastic! This particular location really delivered as I came here for a special occasion- celebrating an awards show AS WELL AS celebrating coming to In-N-Out for the first time after a few years... I love the double double (protein wrap or with a bun), animal style, add raw onions, extra pickles and chilis on the side....fries extra crispy with extra spread...I'm ready to go back! Service is always friendly and restaurant is always clean- gosh I miss living on the West Coast! read more

I love In-N-Out! This location was very convenient when I was in the area visiting family. Fast and friendly service and a clean and cozy eating area. I crave their double double at least once a week- please open a location in the North East- haha, long shot I know! I usually get their fries and a strawberry milkshake as well- perfect combo! read more

We stopped by for dinner and we're happier did. We beat the dinner rush by 20 mins. We got a clean table to sit at. The service was friendly and helpful. The food was delicious as always and my boy even got a hat to wear so he could pretend to work there. We had a nice time. read more

Their food is the best! The animal style can't be found anywhere else, and their meat is fresh! Order your French fries crispy!

A very efficient in n out location to visit! One of their less busy locations, I definitely recommend anyone in the area to visit if they are craving a burger and fries... Food (5/5) In n out is known for their consistency throughout all of their locations, and this location did not disappoint. I had a fairly complex order, but the workers here were able to make my order exactly how I wanted. I always try to get my food with no salt added and some locations tend to forget about that when I request that in my order, but this location made my order perfectly. (Definitely recommend anyone to get their fries/burgers with no salt added because it tastes just as good!) The burgers here were not smushed like some other locations have served me. The fries were also tasty even without the salt. Service (5/5) The workers here have always been extremely helpful and go out of their way to help out the customers dining here. My order was pretty complicated, but the cashier was patient and got my order correct without me having to repeat myself. The inside of the restaurant was very empty but there was a massive drive thru line that was wrapping around the parking lot when I dined inside so my order took about 5-10 minutes (I also had a customized order so I expected a longer wait time as well). Ambiance (5/5) The restaurant inside was pretty clean and there was a worker actively sweeping around while I was dining here. The condiments area was also surprisingly clean and not messy at all. I did not go inside the restrooms for my most recent visit, but the restrooms were somewhat clean the last time I dined here. read more

In-N-Out never misses!! Like with all locations, this was a bustling one - even on a weekday. Again like other locations, the food comes out fast. Got my usual order: * Double Double (with raw & grilled onion, chopped chilis) * fries (well) * Vanilla shake Copped a 2025 In n Out tee that says California, of course! Clean bathrooms again per usual! read more

I do not understand what all the hate is about. The place is very clean and I love the location. The food is delicious and it's is In n out it is consistent. All the workers are very friendly. While they did struggle a littile once they first opened the location salt wise and food warmth wise but for years now it has been hot good food! read more

Quick, tasty, clean, and with pleasant staff. The usual In-N-Out ambiance. Always a smart stop for me when on the west coast.

If you love in-n-out raise your hand! ‍ If you appreciate their simple menu raise your hand! ‍ If you just spend half an hour in the drive thru with less than 10 cars in front of you raise your hand....‍ Needless to say I have been enjoying In-N-Out for years at all of the Desert's locations from Indio, to thousand palms, to the new la Quinta spot, and now the rancho mirage hub. While all of the locations have been completely spot on when it comes to their food, there is a standard or level quality food, great service, and no fuss speed that you come to expect at the BEST burger fast food restaurant. Emphasis on FAST. This visit was anything but! As we spent a minute short of half an hour waiting in the drive-thru. I don't know if it was because of a mixup in orders or maybe someone with an extra large order but I honestly never expected it to be this slow. Lesson learned I will just order inside if I ever have to visit this location, but to be honest, you might want to skip the drive-thru here and just go to the thousand palms or la Quinta location since you will probably get your food in the same amount of time. Two stars since the milkshakes we ordered still tasted good despite clearly having been made 25 minutes ago. Dripping in condensation and half melted from sitting on the drive thru window counter. read more

When you are on the West Coast you have your have an In and Out Burger! Especially on National Cheeseburger Day! Our third time at an In and Out in Cali! First time just ordered off the menu! Second time we were with my daughter and her boyfriend. Boyfriend ordered items we didn't see on the menu! Our third time! We ordered from the Not so Secret Menu! We got the burger and fries "animal style". Wow so much tastier! Melted cheese, special sauce and grilled onions! On the fries. All that and a pickle, lettuce on the burger!! Highly recommend Indoor, outdoor and take out. Outdoor area with mist spray for the hot weather read more

In-N-Out Burger - Counter - Burgers Near Me - Rancho Mirage, California

Hi! I know EXACTLY what you are thinking! Another review of In-N-Out BURGER??? What can this guy possibly say that we haven't heard before? Well, if YOU are here to read it, I'm here to break it down for ya. And trust me, this crazy review is gonna make you contemplate your sanity, my sanity and the sanity of Larry who you will meet later... With approximately 400 In-N-Out locations in 7 Western U.S. States, I've got the appetite, the creativity and the ambition to review every last In-N-Out that I come across. And you should know Dam(n) well... Every In-N-Out I've been to deserves every star of the 5 stars that I give them... Including this Rancho Mirage, California location. ------------------------ To the O.G., Die Hard, Day One In-N-Out fans (you know who you are)... I don't have to tell you how GOOD In-N-Out is! Cause you already know! To the haters who say, "I love the burgers, but the fries are just whack" C'mon man... why you gotta hate on the potato like that? To the people who came across this random review saying to themselves, "I've heard about In-N-Out, but I've never actually had it. I wonder how it compares to..." (insert their local burger chain from wherever they are from)... Trust me, In-N-Out can go toe-to-toe against your local burger joint from 'Jersey' or whatever Midwest/East Coast state you are visiting from "Larry" (if that is your real name) and I'm pretty sure you're gonna absolutely love In-N-Out's Double-Double, Fry Light and Strawberry Shake. And to the people who say, "I'll have a cheeseburger with no onions"..... GTFOH!!!!! What did an onion ever do to you?? Did it make you cry? Did it ruin that first kiss? Did it give you heartburn? O.k. Fine, I'll let ya slide... More onions for me. =) Fun fact: you can get onion 6 different ways here; heck get all 6 together (well unless you're on that first date) ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ -----------RESTRICTED AREA----------- NO TRESPASSING BEYOND THIS POINT TOP SECRET CLEARANCE NEEDED TO PROCEED (Don't say I didn't warn you) IN-N-OUTS SECRET MENU that's NEVER been seen before..... (Just keep scrolling, Just keep scrolling) -Dory Gotcha! Man, everybody... And I mean EVERYBODY knows about In-N-Outs so called "Secret Menu"... Even Larry from Jersey in my example above knows about the secret menu. He's probably just scratching his head thinking should I get the Flying Dutchman, A Double-Double Animal style or go all out and get a 4 x 4 with Cold Cheese? The BIG question is, Is Larry gonna X the onion? Cause that's just plain crazy! The Truth is, Secret or no Secret, the Secret is Out, so why lie or try to cover it up, when the truth will prevail. (You like that didn't you? Lol) So there you have it... Another 5 star review of why this In-N-Out location is making history one burger at a time. Because as the old saying goes... (Sing it with me now) "In-N-Out, In-N-Out... That's what a hamburger's All About" ***No onions, potatoes, or Larry's from New Jersey were harmed in the writing of this review. *** read more

In N Out is always reliable and that is why I keep coming back. I went late around ten or eleven at night and ordered my usual double double with animal style fries and a Neapolitan shake. Everything tasted exactly how it should. Same quality, same flavor, no matter which location you go to. The service was great and the food came out quickly even at that hour. It is hard to beat that level of consistency, especially late at night. In N Out always does its job and does it well. read more

Traveled from New Jersey. This my my first time ever going to an in n out burger. Was so pleasantly surprised. It was super fresh tender and juicy. The fries and burgers held so much flavor. It was super busy inside yet remained clean. The workers were super friendly and helpful explaining the menu. Wish we had one in Jersey. read more

In-N-Out Burger - Cheese burger and animal fries - Burgers Near Me - Rancho Mirage, California

Being a local to the Cochella Valley area, I knew that In & Out was going to open a location near where I live in Palm Desert, but this one is in Rancho Mirage. It's a classic from before going to see a movie near the river, coming here with family is something we never avoid doing. Not only do they serve good hamburgers, quality service and always with spectacular cleanliness. The only downside is that when they are very busy they take your orders very quickly which causes them to take the order or request that you want for your hamburger even though they repeat the order I don't know if they mark it on the screen very quickly. Other than that, we always enjoy the food at this place. read more

In-N-Out Burger - Always take a extra hamburger to go.. delicious - Burgers Near Me - Rancho Mirage, California

I love in out and I eat it all the time. However, this was the worst in and out experience I have ever had. I ordered my usual and when I got to the window to pay instead of repeating my order back to me for confirmation, the young woman who took my payment summarized it by saying yes you got all the good stuff. Lo and behold my order was wrong. Avoid the cathedral City location and do yourself a favor and visit the La Quinta location. Disgusting & disappointing read more

First of all, I LOVE LOVE LOVE In-N-Out Burger. I come to one whenever I am on the West Coast. The only thing I find is while they are pretty consistent, some are indeed better than others. This is one of the really good ones. Perfectly toasted bun and properly placed patties and condiments- believe me, it makes a difference! The thing I REALLY love about their burgers is the toasted bun, some do it better than others, but here they toast it perfectly- a nice crispy crust! What more can I say? read more

What a shame. After waiting in line for 25 minutes, I ordered a #2 for my friend and #3 for myself. Delivered his to him back at the casino in Rancho mirage and drive back to the theater across the street from you to wait for my son's movie to get out. I started eating my burger and grabbed a few fries and felt how hard they were and cold and when I turned my light on in my car, I saw how burnt they were. I called my friend and told him the fries are nasty and he said yeah they are gross. We both had hard, cold, over fried french fries. if I didn't have to wait in such a long line again I would go back with at least my order of fries and ask for a fresh hot order. I won't be coming back to this location at all!! The reason you got one extra star is because the cashier looked like she was handling things under pressure and was still working with a smile. read more

In-N-Out Burger - OVERfried, COLD, hard French fries. I think because of the holiday, they probably had fries sitting out ready to be ordered. Not even hot! - Burgers Near Me - Rancho Mirage, California

There was no line at this location and we got the food very fast. It was so fresh and everything tasted amazing. I got the number two cheeseburger animal style with fries and a root beer. The root beer had delicious taste to it and the fries were perfectly salted. Everything was so well seasoned, and didn't even need the extra peppers, spread, salt, ketchup that I had. read more

Bomb.com In-N-Out came in clutch after we attended a big event. We left a wedding and were still hungry. We saw this In-N-Out and decided this would be perfect. There was a line, per usual at any In-N-Out location. But they went pretty quick. Service was good. We ordered with the guy standing out front, holding a tablet. We ordered two animal style French fries (one with grilled onions and one without grilled onions), a grilled cheese (no grilled onions), a double double (with grilled onions), and a cheeseburger with grilled onions. Oh, and a doctor pepper to wash it all down lol Everything was fresh and hot! We enjoyed out burgers and fries. It hit the spot after the wedding. Gotta love In-N-Out. Open late and the food quality is always on-point. read more

Grouchy staff, very long wait and ALL food was ICE cold. Very disappointed with this location

Since moving away from California I've missed In m Out! I came here because of a conference I'm attending and I NEEDED burger fix. Thought about it all week, to be honest. I got in just before the lunch hour and it was a good thing. While I had to wait about 10 mins for my order, it would have been much longer to wait if I came 1/2 an hour later. BUT so worth it. I started with the fries while they were still hot but didn't wait too long before I tucked into my cheeseburger with grilled onions! OMG. Nectar of the Gods for sure. True confession: I ate the whole burger which for me is an accomplishment. So the only question I have is...will I pop over for another before I fly home again? You'll have to check back and see! read more

I didn't want to believe the reviews but they were right. The service here is terrible. Not that the employees are doing a bad job or are rude but the speed at which they work is mind numbingly slow. There was certainly a shortage of staff. At almost all other in n out locations there are a dozen people working at any given time and this place had 6. 3 in the kitchen. 2 taking orders and one packaging things. This is why the food was cold by the time I got it. It sat waiting to be packaged. I ordered at 11:40pm and left at 12:14am. There is no good reason it should have taken that long. You have been warned. read more

Love the in-n-out, we all do. Not all, but some of the staff at this location wouldn't know how to break a smile if you gave them a manual written in smiley faces (Alijah). The guy obviously doesn't want to be working there. It's also extremely disappointing after waiting 20 min for the food (happy to wait it's great) to have ZERO ketchup available. After alerting the staff behind the counter...nothing. After alerting the staff on the floor, blank stares and they go to test the ketchup machine like I'm making it up. Other people let them know there's still no ketchup. I alert the person behind the counter again and finally ketchup arrives as my family finishes our meal. read more
