Fast food burger place that started in santa barbara years ago. Everything is made to order. I had the portobello mushroom burger. The sauces were nice. I haven't been I would definitely ask if they could cook the thin burger not quite so dry. My son had a combo plate cheeseburger. No complaints and better than the ones that keep things on steam tables. The fries were good.

Ever since I had this place I haven’t been back to In N Out once!
The service is amazing. Went on a Sunday night and the supervisor Jennifer I think gave us world class customer service! The food is fresh and tasty and the staff is awesome!
