Craved a burger but didn't want to spend a bunch of money. We hit the Santee In-N-Out drive thru. The line of cars was long. It snaked through the southernmost end of the Kohl's parking lot. In-N-Out plays it smart. They have a staff member out there taking orders and relaying them to the kitchen. It really speeds up the process. Drive up, pay at the first window. When you get to the second window, your order is hot, fresh, bagged and ready to go. From getting in line to driving away took just 12 minutes. One Double Double Animal Style with grilled onions, one cheeseburger with onions, two fries well-done. $16 and change. Everything was prepared correctly. We arrived home and tore into it. Always fresh and delicious burgers from In-N-Out. Well-done fries are the way to go! read more

Great news for the location is they continue to be very busy and good for meeting a quick need. To management - please review how the protein style burgers are made and appear. Also, missing were the cheese and grilled onions I requested. However they appeared on the other two burgers which were supposed to be a number 1. It would also be nice to find a way to keep a to go order warm for a drive home (10-15 min). read more

We like going to the Santee In-N-Out Burger. The service is fast except for like right at lunchtime, but that's OK. The food is good. The ambience is a little bit loud, but it's fun. read more

In n out has always had a respectful professional staff until recently. This location is lacking on following burger orders and the thin girl closest to the register tonight making burgers needs to stop giving dirty looks to customers. If I want no salt fries or extra lettuce then it should happen. Tonight we had mini burgers with barely any toppings and it was disappointing to say the least. If they are cutting back portions to save money then I'm not returning. The burgers are only good if you get them how you order them, if I want McDonald's then I would go there. Tonight around 6:45pm the burgers sucked, usually they are delicious. Must of been the crew working tonight, too bad.. read more

A go to for a quick meal. Everyone is kind and effective. They even have a sweet man who walks around telling jokes, offering hats and stickers to both young and old. Never a bad decision to come here read more

I have to say this probably has to be one of the best In-n-out burgers I've been to in San Diego. The staff is unbelievably great! Place was clean, food was good. Even though I was here close to closing time I got time to enjoy my food and wasn't rushed to leave that was nice. Plenty of parking at this location which is great. Always busy of course but I always leave happy and satisfied. read more

Every time I come here, the drive-thru experience is frustrating. This is now the third time I've been in line first, only to have cars that showed up after me get pushed ahead because of their two-lane system. I understand the goal is to move cars faster overall, but the way it's managed feels completely unfair. There doesn't seem to be any consistency or effort from staff to maintain order between the two lanes. If you're not aggressive or constantly inching forward, you get skipped. It's disappointing because the food is usually good, but the drive-thru setup and lack of coordination from staff make the experience stressful instead of convenient. After multiple visits with the same issue, it's clear this isn't a one-off problem. read more

I like the cheeseburger protein style in lettuce wrap with grilled onions and animal fries. Good size burger. I recommend.

I stop by here several times per week. You can call me a regular. Many good things to mention about this location but today Apr 20th was the second time the burger was insanely salty. Same was last week. Like one week worth of salt in one burger. Please, the chef!!! Stop killing your customers you need us! read more

Who doesn't love In-N-Out. The burgers and fries are always fresh. The menu is simple with a few items that can be customized, so it doesn't usually take long to order. This location is always busy, but they keep the line moving quickly so you are never waiting too long. The employees are always friendly, but that is the case with most In-N-Out locations. The fact you can still get a full meal for under $15 is fantastic and will keep me and my family always coming back. read more

Love the food and prices but the drive thru is sooooo long. The wait starts immediately when they open. The lines are always long and unless you're first you're looking at a 25-30 minute wait minimum. The staff are friendly but unless you have the time, this is not the place to go. And location doesn't matter. The lines are like this everywhere. Having said that, you have to try the food at least once. Be prepared for a wait. read more

In-N-Out Burger - Always a line but worth the wait! - Burgers Near Me - Santee, California

An iconic Southern California hamburger joint founded in 1948 in Baldwin Park by Harry and Esther Snyder which was the first drive-through hamburger stand who makes one sensational hamburger! I usually don't eat hamburgers unless it's a turkey burger, but I always make an exception for In and Out. If I have time on my side, I go inside to eat and really get to relax and enjoy my meal. But, if I am on the go like I usually am, I like to use the drive through. I won't go if the drive through is really crowded, but I will go and wait in line if is not so crowded because the workers outside are so organized and use a system of give and take with the cars. It makes it easy to use and the line moves pretty quick. I usually just order a double double with no cheese and sometimes onions with a lemonade. It is a perfect lunch or dinner because it's the right amount of food to keep me going all day or night because I have healthy snacks throughout the day! The burgers are perfect from the bun which has crunchy edges but soft in the middle, perfectly seasoned meat, lettuce and tomato with their signature sauce on the burger. It's made fresh to order and the flavor reminds me of an old-fashioned hamburger joint because they have a simple, delicious, and affordable menu to offer! I love the whole concept of this place! You can also buy merchandise like their In and Out logo T-shirts. And yes, they have gift cards also which makes the best gift idea ever! Whether you are a California local or tourist, IN & OUT is the best place to cater to your burger cravings every time! They have it all here! Writing this review makes me want to go back again already! Finally, I cannot forget to thank the employees and management team who seem to really enjoy their job and provide outstanding customer service every time I go! It's like a wonderful dining experience that I look forward to going there every time! I appreciate you guys just know that! It means a lot to customers to not only be satisfied by the delicious food but be given outstanding service too! I usually frequent the Santee location, and I appreciate my accurate orders continuously as well as perfect customer service both in the parking lot, drive through, and inside! You are my favorite hamburger establishment ever! Much love, Carla #in-n-out-burger #santee #santeecalifornia #burgers #sandiego #visitsandiego #yelpsandiego read more

Came here after a Padres game and ordered $19 worth of food (2 burgers, fries, shake, and a coke). A small taco at the ballgame cost what the food we ordered here. The INO food was delicious as always. Cost, portion, price all a win. read more

This review is solely about the older gentlemen David. If the world was filled was Davids', I would be out of a job. And i would be okay with that. Outstanding human. Please protect him at all costs. The food is always great. But not as great as David. read more

11/10/24 - this is my last time here and my last check in. The last several times have been upsetting, either poor service inside or they open a lane up through drive thru and you are stuck in a long line. Done with it. I go here several months with sporadic service. Went through the drive thru and ordered a quad, 2 double double and 2 fries. They never repeated it back. Grabbed the food and arrived home. They jacked the order. Received no quad, a single burger out of no where and 2 double double and some with animal style. The 2 fries were correct. What the heck!? No monetary cost to me since I was not charged the quad. Messed up on 2 of the three burgers. I threw away the single burger. Not going here since you wait in a line for 20 minutes then get the wrong items when you get home after a long day of work. I didn't check the order when I left like usual. Go at your risk. My last time to in and out ever. See the bill. Go hit Jack in the box or McDonald's down the street, more reliable with orders. Ate a sandwich at home instead. read more

In-N-Out Burger - The bill and after messing my whole order up. - Burgers Near Me - Santee, California

In my most recent visit is probably by far my favorite. The person at the register was patient while the line inside was super long. At this location the drive thru is quite ridiculous. I tried several times and the wait can be so long. I was in line for 20 minutes and gave up. I was lucky enough to see a big enough gap between the cones to get out of line. The whole parking lot was made for this In-N-Out. In all the years going to In N Out, I never knew they had an activity paper for kids. It was quite useful to have while waiting for the food. You can't ever go wrong with animal styles friends in a grill cheese burger done animal style. read more

Jimmie does not facilitate a supportive culture for his customers. Unlike every other employee that I have encountered at In-N-Out, he is abrasive and rude. read more

Best customer service, consistent food, clean restaurant, clean bathroom. Long drive through lines per usual. We always dine in here and it's such a great experience. I love this location. read more

Best burger and fries from a fast food joint. The Santee In-N-Out is just like the others. What I mean by that is great burgers, great price and consistency. They run a well oiled machine. Another big shout out is that everyone says "Thank you". Thank you In-N-Out read more

What a great team here! Tristan and Angel were so nice and helpful and efficient! This is the best in and out that I've ever been to in the only one I'll continue to go to! read more

Cant go wrong with In-N-Out. Still an affordable meal out now a days. Special shout out to Izzy who helped us from start to finish. Took our orders with a friendly smile and engagement. When we finished eating and we were just sitting around relaxing she even came by and took our trash for us. What a great service. Every worker there seems to enjoy their job. I see tons of team work there. There is always someone cleaning. Great location in a large mall plaza with tons of parking. Only thing that needs attention to that I noticed this night was the squeaky turning chairs. I think they need to put some oil :) read more

5/5 Would visit again. I have endured the drive-thru during peak hours, and we know the line of cars snaking through the parking lot is expected. At least the back of this line doesn't block major traffic. Imho this particular location is the anchor store that earns more parking lot than the nearby retailer I'm usually all about that Animal Style burger (sometimes with chopped chilies) but you can't go wrong with anything from their classically simple menu and Not So Secret Menu. Pick up an extra spread packet for me. It never rains in Southern California, but if it does, the kiddos can get a free hot cocoa. If you want to grab an extra special treat for your beloved doggo, ask for a free Pup Patty. Consistently great. Whether grabbing snacks near home, on a road trip along the west coast, or through a neighboring state that might be opening an expansion store, service is friendly and tasty snacks that hit the spot. read more

Your classic In-N-Out! I always go here when I'm craving some Fast Food and it never misses after drilling holes in wood for my job. Burger- Succulent and juicy piece of thin meat. Lightly crispy buns. Refreshing non-nutritional Iceburg lettuce. Lots of delicious tomatoes. Animal Fries- Addictive and creamy animal sauce. Grilled onions compliment the nicely salted fries. Service- Polite workers. When we asked for extra spread, they gave a lot! read more

We love going to in-N-Out and the burgers are great. We stopped by yesterday, Oct. 18th, and got two Cheese burgers. usually they are the best and taste great, but on this occasion mine had almost no lettuce on it. When I looked at it, it just looked like one you get from McDonalds or something with hardly anything in it. I hope this is not s trend going forward. I do wish I took a pic as it was a little disappointing. Robert B. read more

On Sunday I went into In n Out and my order was made incorrectly I spoke to a lady named Grace. She was very rude to me. She belittled me as I tried to explain my issue. I found this very odd because i've never had a bad experience at an in n out before. As a result of this experience I will never go to this In n out again. I thought in n out held their employees to a higher standard. read more

We eat at this location often and our food is always hot and delicious. The restaurant is always clean. David who makes sure the tables are cleared and clean is a jewel! He is constantly working and making sure the customers are happy. I hope y'all appreciate him! We highly recommend this location read more

In n out is a great place to get food. Specifically their cheeseburgers with pickles their special sauce, lettuce, and ketchup. I don't live where there's an In-N-Out and whenever I go to a place that does have them that's my go to fast food restaurant so if you're ever in Vegas, Arizona, and California, I would definitely go to In-N-Out. read more

Worst experience I've ever had with In n Out. The young lady at the window seemed annoyed by my presence , rolled her eyes when I asked for ketchup that she forgot ( she had asked me if I wanted any prior to this, to which I replied yes) Waited a while for well done fries , but when we got them they were soggy. Bad service. Bad food. The El Cajon location is way better read more

I visited the Santee In-N-Out on March 7 at 5:06 pm. My 17-month old has severe allergies to egg. While ordering, I told the Cashier Victoria of my daughter's severe egg allergy and she noted it in the order and said new gloves and bags would be used. However, when I received my food, all of the food came mixed together in 1 bag. The allergy-marked food was mixed in the same bag as the normal food (with egg ingredients). I identified this concern to the employee who gave me my food and my concern was dismissed as a joke. I reiterated the severity of the egg allergy of my 17-month and they re-made the allergy-free items on the spot. I wanted to bring this concern to your attention so you can address the workflow for allergy-related orders at all In-N-Out locations. Whenever a guest identifies a potential allergy, the guest's food needs to be separately bagged. Thank you for your time and attention to this concern. John read more

The interesting thing about this location is that it either has a long long line or no line. Double double 10/10:i get my buns extra toasted. Love it. Fries 8/10: i actually dont think their fries are that great. Atmosphere 10/10: always clean, classic look Service 10/10: no complaints Price $: best fast food value. read more
