If you don't have an In-N-Out Burger in your city, I highly recommend giving it a try. This one is on your way home from the beach. It's a simple menu with only burgers, fries, soft drinks, and milk shakes. They do have a secret menu, which you can easily find on Google. I recommend trying the burger "Animal Style" with no onions (unless you like grilled onions). And if you like your fries crunchy, ask for them "Well Done." If you're on a diet, try a hamburger "Protein-Style."
