The Clairvoyant told be about IN-N-OUT Burger as we passed its branch along Jefferson Street while walking towards the Powell & Hyde cable car station at the end of the road. It was supposed to have the best burgers in the US, tasting better than what McDonald's or Burger King have to offer. That alone piqued my curiosity and we decided we'll be sampling their burgers during the latter part of our US vacation. A branch of the chain happened to be near our hotel so we decided to pick up a couple of burgers for dinner the day we arrived from the LA leg of our trip. Prior to ordering, we observed what other customers where ordering and checked how big the servings were. After our quick assessment, we decided to order a burger each, confident we could probably finish one each considering we were already starving and want a quick meal that we probably couldn't get except from a fast food joint.
No frills cheese burger at In-n-out - the cheeseburger was surprisingly good. I say surprisingly as I truly expected a bland patty enhanced by the flavor of the fresh lettuce and tomato. Instead, we got a delicious burger that we enjoyed eating in one sitting unlike the previous one we had to consume over 3 meals.
The generous serving of fries - we remembered to order just one serving since everything seems super-sized in the US.
In-n-out access - there are three access points to the IN-N-OUT branch at the Pier area. The main one is along Jefferson, another is a side entrance and the last is via drive through. Again, the menu is very simple so orders are quick, further emphasizing the curious name of the burger chain. That's the IN-N-OUT sign one can get familiar with along with the McDonald's M's.
