Shoutout to all the workers at the in n out mira mesa location, especially Angie for providing exceptional customer service on 5/13/2026. She was patient, kind, polite, and professional. Thanks again. Fisherman Mark read more

(this review is not for the food, which is always a 10/10) They need to put out some cones or something to organize the drive thru line. I was cut off by 3 cars as I was waiting with my blinker on to turn into the line, the cars came from every direction. They had only 1 person taking orders with the massive line & no comment to all the line cutting that was happening. Super frustrating & it's this & a 30+ minute drive thru experience every time. Really wish they'd manage the operations better. Cones for directing cars & a secondary person outside would go a long way. I would love to update this review in the future but had to get it out there - be vigilant because people will cut you & it will be allowed to happen. read more

I don't think I've ever had an In-N-Out experience like this before. The line at this Mira Mesa location was shockingly fast. From getting in line to ordering to having food in hand, it took about 10 minutes total. I almost didn't believe it. Everything ran so smoothly, and the team was incredibly efficient without feeling rushed or chaotic. But the real highlight? The burger. I ordered a Double-Double with a mustard-fried patty, whole grilled onions, and an extra toasted bun with a Diet Coke, and when I say this was the best In-N-Out burger I've ever had, I mean it. It was piping hot, unbelievably fresh, and perfectly put together. I've never held an In-N-Out burger that felt this fresh off the grill. The first bite completely confirmed it--it was heavenly. Truly one of those rare, "wow" food moments. Juicy, flavorful, perfectly balanced... honestly kind of life-changing. I didn't even know In-N-Out could taste this good. This visit finally made me understand the level of love and hype people have for In-N-Out. If this is the standard at this location, they're doing something very right. I don't know if I just got lucky or if this is how they always operate, but I will absolutely be coming back to this location. read more

In-N-Out Burger - Double double - Burgers Near Me - San Diego, California

How has it been a year since my last In N Out review! My husband and I have truly become regulars here, well in the drive thru typically but it is just an easy go to meal on the nights that we truly do not want to cook and we know will always be good. This drive thru line can definitely be long but it honestly goes by pretty quick and if it ever is way too long for my liking I will go inside and order to go. I will say eating in n out there is always best for quality purposes but taking it to go always hits the spot too. read more

Stopped in on our last leg of our trip and the burgers hit the spot! Inside was clean and staff was moving as quickly as possible to get customers orders out. We were able to snag a table and enjoy our food. Parking lot and drive thru was a bit of a traffic jam but we parked and walked in. Love In-N-Out. read more

In-N-Out Burger - Inside - Burgers Near Me - San Diego, California

You can never go wrong with In-N-Out. My go-to order is a cheeseburger Animal Style with fries, and it always hits the spot. The food is consistently fresh, tasty, and satisfying. This location is on the smaller side, so finding a seat can be a challenge during busy times. The drive-thru is also quite tight and can get backed up, so it may be easier to go inside and order. read more

I love In-N-Out and they never disappoint. Got some double doubles and they were delicious. The drive thru is always busy, so I went in and ordered. The place was mobbed but the employees were all working hard and got my order pretty quickly. The inside was clean and I noticed an employee cleaning tables and common areas. Will definitely be back read more

They really need to improve this location's drive thru line. Absolutely horrible as it just always blocking traffic/no right of way/people cut in front of your car due to the stop sign. Can we start off the line on the other side? Had to go inside to dine in since the drive thru it's always trouble. The tables are very dirty so it took some time to find a decent one. I did not see anyone cleaning the tables during the entire ordering process til we leave. The food itself came out quick and is delicious as always. I wish the other 2 problems are addressed then I can put this in my rotation again. read more

In-N-Out Burger - Burgers Near Me - San Diego, California

I can't believe I never reviewed this place. I grew up eating here, specifically this location. All these years and not much has changed aside from the prices. I remember when a double double used to be $2 and now its $6... This location is always packed, and the parking lot is not well equipped to handle the amount of cars for drive thru here at all. Most of the time its faster to dine in instead of drive thru. Also if it's your first time eating here, please get acquainted with the secret menu. And if you're wondering what I usually get, its a double double with whole grilled onions and chopped chili as well as animal style fries read more

excellent, food is always fresh. The place is always spotless. well mannered employees,

Clean,quick and kind. Everything is very smooth and easy here. prices are very reasonable and wait is not long.

Sometimes the drive thru line gets a little crazy here during their busy hours, as it is located in the same lot as the H Mart and Daiso. But the line seems to always work itself out in a civil manner, because we are in San Diego, after all. I can say for sure that this layout just won't work out in Los Angeles, but it does here. (It still stresses me out a little, because I'm a disillusioned LA driver and expect everyone to cut everywhere there is an opportunity) Can you believe In-N-Out is less expensive than other mainstream less-quality fast food burger places these days? Unbelievable! More reason to patronize In-N-Out, unless you really don't like waiting a little bit longer for your tasty burger. read more

Never had a bad experience at In n Out! The drive thru at this location is tight but is fairly quick. I love how much lettuce is included in the protein style for a gluten free option. You can also get an unsalted patty for your pup for only $1! read more

In-N-Out Burger - Protein style burger and fries - Burgers Near Me - San Diego, California

Despite the protests of Jen, stating that In-N-Out is a terrible burger, I demanded that we stop at one and I am extremely happy that I did, as their burger is, as far as I am concerned, one of the most outstanding fast food burgers I have had. I can understand why there are several people that are not fans of the double double, and that is because of the addition of their special sauce, which is obviously mayonnaise-based. Any burger with mayonnaise is a polarizing topic, but the one I had at In-N-Out was not only delicious but also had extremely fresh ingredients stacked high on it and that paid off in flavor and texture with a premium experience at a fast food price with fast convenience. The staff was also very friendly even though we came in during lunch prime time on a Friday and there was quite a large amount of people working that made everything run extremely smoothly as compared to other fast food burger spots. The place was extremely clean and bright with white tile and booths everywhere along with their trademark red and yellow colors throughout the restaurant, replete with the red palm trees along the walls built into the tile patterns. The one thing that didn't shine though was the fries. Despite being made and cut from freshly sourced potatoes, they were possibly the absolute worst French fries I think I may have ever had. Not crisp, very strange, with little seasoning, and a very weird texture; almost like foam. However, the trade off was the exceptional burger, and I would come back again for that burger. Again and again actually. Unfortunately, there are no In-N-Outs near Philly or anywhere on the east coast I believe, so I'll have to reserve this for trips out west. If you are out west and happen to take a trip to California for business or for pleasure, you must make it a point to stop at In-N-Out if you have never been to one and see if it is for you. It's an experience unlike any that I have had, at least in a very long time, in fast food here in the east and i can't imagine it being a bad one. With the different varieties and customization available to the sandwiches and choices on the menu, you're sure to find something for yourself....oh and be sure to try the awesome little pickled hot peppers that are served at the condiment bar. Outstanding!!!! Zoridia Fry Index: poor. They are okay if self seasoned. More like soft potato chips. Zero flavor. read more

I was REALLY hungry and came here for the first time. Luckily it wasn't during the times where I've seen long lines of cars--I got through pretty quickly. My double burger, no cheese, extra grilled onions, lettuce and tomatoes was just soooo delicious and such a reasonable price--just over $5! What added to the positive experience, though, was Angel who was a greeter outside. As I gave my order to him I mentioned it was my first visit and he was very very helpful, telling me how to order and that I could ask for "extras". He made the visit so much smoother and the burger was exactly what I wanted so shout-out to him especially. I came here about 6 weeks ago and kept my receipt so I could be sure and say all the above. read more

We tend to stay nearby whenever we visit San Diego and this In n Out is an obvious choice for the late night munchies. We were here the weekend of October 11-13. Truthfully not sure if the exact date of our visit really fell closer to late October 12 or early AM October 13. But the point of this review is to highlight Richard, who was working the first window as the cashier on the day of our visit. Real standup guy. Great conversation, great vibe, even gave us some in n out hats and coloring books for fun. Total comedy and a really fun experience despite the typically long delays you'd face at any in n out joint. Even helped us add an additional order of fries which we never ended up getting - not really his fault and the first time I've ever faced an issue like this before - so we were a bit bummed but still wanted to give him a shout out for the fun time. If someone can reach out to get me a refund on the missing order, that would be totally great. Otherwise, corporate, if you're reading this, Richard definitely deserves a raise.

Fix your damn drive thru. It's going into Mira Mesa Blvd and blocking the entrance to the rest of the mall

What can one say that hasn't been said. OUTSTANDING!!! I tried the Flying Dutchman with grilled onion. So damn good.

Customer service is always great! Smaller In and Out and 1st time we've ever seen a line actually out the door. We opted for the drive thru and it was long but moved pretty quickly. Burgers and fries were fresh and hot as usual. Super tasty! There is some seating inside and a few tables outside, area is well lit and surrounded by some stores so you can eat and wander a bit if you want. Great for late night or to pick up and go (traffic in the area is always bad but semi close to freeway entrance and exits) read more

In n out is a classic California fast food restaurant. The lines always move so quickly and you honestly can not beat the prices. I usually get a double double and animal style fries with some chopped chilis and it always tastes great coming from this location. This location, like many other in n out locations always seems to be crowded so just beware of that. The drive thru line may seem really long but it honestly goes by really quickly. For those who prefer to dine in, parking can be a bit difficult during really busy times as its in a shopping plaza with an HMart and many other restaurants/stores. read more

In-N-Out Burger - Burgers Near Me - San Diego, California

One can never be wrong with an In-N-Out burger, crew are always nice and friendly. The place is always clean.

Okay, so I have been to CA (&TX), both of which have In-N-Out locations, before but never tried In-N-Out and have been feeling like I've been missing out. We were just walking around in the plaza and saw that there was an In-N-Out. Mind you, we both just had a pretty filling meal for lunch BUT definitely had to jump at the opportunity and see what the hype is all about. This location has a drive-thru and lots of seating available, both inside and outside. I decided to get the cheeseburger meal, animal style for the burger and my meal was made ready in a jiffy! After having a few bites of the meal, I'd say that the food is top tier, in terms of fast food chains. Not gourmet, of course, but a thousand times better than the local McDonald's or Wendy's. The staff is friendly and work efficiently to get orders out. Also, super clean for a fast food joint. Would come back again! read more

The drive thru makes me not want to go to this place. There are three ways to enter into the drive thru line and no order to it. I feel like I might have to get into a fight every time I use the drive thru. Chaos. Once, a long time ago, they controlled things and only allowed one of the three entrances into the line but now it is a free for all. Go to another In-n-Out if you can. read more

Now the lady needed her In N out experience being on the west coast so ofc we stopped in. Ordered a simple #2 animal style (but i think they forgot to animal the fries it's alright though). Service was great overall, although i didn't get my order number but my order was found quickly. The girls who were working the counter were super nice and this location takes orders outside in the drive thru line. Clean and easy, we ate outside and had a good time haha. A check off the bucket list. read more

Sometimes the food is good sometimes it is burnt and cold. Half of the time you come here the peppers and ketchup is out and they don't restock it the entire time I spend eating here which is at least 30 minutes. At this point I avoid this location because they never stock anything. read more

okay... so I'm going to be completely honest... I like their food. I like their burgers (especially animal style, where they grill the onions and add extra pickles and sauce), I like their fries (which you can also get animal style: cheese, sauce, and grilled onions), and I like their shakes (i prefer half vanilla, half chocolate). I've never had a bad experience with their service, and when I do drive thru, the food is always plenty hot when I get it home (my parents always microwaved it anyway, but I think that's excessive because we're not that far away). ... but I don't get the lines for the drive thru. Here and in Carmel Mountain Ranch, the lines can be absolutely insane. Like, extending out of the parking lot sometimes. Don't get me wrong, they keep the line moving and I haven't had a wrong order yet, even when it gets busy, but... seriously, why? It's like everyone in San Diego always has a craving all the time. The food is good, really good, and the "secret menu" is kind of fun if you think about it, I guess, but the demand is insane. I kinda wish they'd expand their menu a bit, because it seems like I'm always ordering the same thing when I go here, but it is kind of a staple now. ... I just wish the lines were shorter. read more

Always a busy location with the drive thru option in a popular food/grocery lot, but the line usually moves quick. Located where Hmart, Daiso, Meet Fresh, and UPS is, so there is parking available if you wanted to order inside the restaurant, but it can be hard to get out of the parking lot with the drive thru line. Can't go wrong with their burgers here, since they're highly customizable and a great price. Ask for extra banana peppers and spread!! read more

Ive never reviewed in n out because its always amazing. except this one. We were in line around midnight for almost an hour. Our food was cold, food was sub par. please fux the service and food quality at this in n out. Such a bummer. read more

I have gone to this in an out easily over 200 times. Food and service are normally good. Sometimes the food is better, sometimes the line is faster. Staff is great. On may 16th around 11 pm I came here for what looked like a normally line. Should have taken 10-15 min max for the drive through..... well I was stuck between ordering and picking up food for around 75 min. Ridiculous staffing issue, management needs to do better. read more

Prices have been increasing steadily (see menu photo) but this is still the best value fast food burger. I always use the drive-thru, which at this location can be a frustrating experience because people turning in from Mira Mesa Blvd always try to cut in line instead of circling around to get to the back of the line where Applebees is. Otherwise, once your order is taken, it's a quick trip to pay and pickup. I always order the cheeseburger or double double animal-style. That means grilled onions, mustard-grilled patties to maximize moisture and char, and some extra pickles and sauce. Fries are ordered WELL DONE. I do not know why that is not their default cooking mode for their fries, because it would stop all the complaints I hear about In N Out fries being underdone. I order some extra free sauce packets to drench my burger and fries with, and that caps off a delicious, filling and affordable meal. Service is always excellent and enthusiastic. I come here much more frequently than my reviews reflect . I'm sometimes lured from the streets by the smell of the grilled onions. read more

In-N-Out Burger - Menu - Oct 2023 - Burgers Near Me - San Diego, California

In-n-out has always been a go-to spot for me. Although the prices have gone up due to inflation, the quality and service is always great. This location has a few tables outside for seating with their red and white themed booths and tables on the inside. I always recommend going inside to order even if it's for take out since I think it's faster than the drive-thru. The food comes out pretty quick. I recommend a double double (two meat patties and two slices of cheese), whole grilled onions, and extra toasted buns. If you're gonna get an order of fries, I'd recommend either getting the animal style version which consists of fries topped with grilled onions, melted cheese and their signature sauce. You can also ask for it to be fried light well or well done for that extra crunch. The fries at In-N-Out would be their only weakness but that's just my own opinion. I also wash down the food with either a lemon-up, a mix of their pink lemonade and 7-up, or a Neapolitan shake. If you like spicy, ask for chopped chilis in your burger or ask for some peppers on the side. If you don't want bread, ask for a flying Dutchmen (beef patty with cheese) or protein style (wrapped in lettuce). read more

One of the best/fastest moving drive thru lines of the majority of In-N-Out burgers I have frequented. Even during peak times the total time from line to pickup is no longer than 20 minutes typically. Quality is great and consistent as the franchise typically is. The college students who take your order are very kind and polite. One them complimented my car so I'm clearly biased. *Tip* when the line is extra long during peak times you will find that the line snakes around the parking lot. Be mindful of the entrance from Mira mesa. read more

I love this In-N-Out because it is close to the freeway and they are always consistent with getting my orders correct. The only bad thing about this location is that the drive thru gets backed up easily. I recommend parking and going inside to order food. It is always pretty crowded at this location, but the workers are friendly and stay on top of getting orders out quickly. It is a typical In-N-Out restaurant with an identical look to the Vista location. I love getting a double double, animal style, extra toasty bun, and whole grilled onions. I usually get a well done fry to accompany my burger. The food is always fresh and comes out in a timely manner. I will definitely be coming back to this location soon! read more

When we miss In-N-Out, it's better to sit and relax rather than rushing to go! To be honest, it's always nice to eat there because they offer the same meal we get, a cheeseburger with grilled onions, fries, and a vanilla shake. The best part is, even if you're craving it late, you can still get their burgers, fries, and shakes and really affordable . I hope they can clean the tables so it is it more appealing and remember it is not as fast food because they are always busy. read more

In-N-Out is one of my favorite fast food burger places. I got the double double with animal fries (and a cheeseburger for a friend) and we both loved it as usual. The animal fries were a nice addition and it was pretty crispy as well, which was a nice surprise because their fries are sometimes a little soggy. Besides the little bit of a long wait for our food and the difficulty in finding seating, it was an overall good experience. read more

In-N-Out Burger - Double Meat, Cheeseburger, Animal Style Fries - Burgers Near Me - San Diego, California

First time trying in and out and it was pretty nice. Definitely recommend those animal fries. I would go without the cheese sauce though. It was lovely otherwise. Hamburger and Protein-style lettuce wrap burger was also good! Patty was so juicy the lettuce was good enough. One patty seemed too little on the burger, so it felt really light eating it. Finish it in no time. Only downside is that it's so high in calories! read more

Yooo... my bad my bad. Big order is 10 burgers or more! Everyone here is super knowledgeable and you can see the dynamic is on point! That makes for a great establishment to be able to move rushes like it's a normal day. Oh gawd the nostalgic smells of the delicious onion laden burgers.... I wish I was back in high school. It's a sunny SD day and nothing says Summer like a cold frosty milkshake Neapolitan style, extra crispy fries and a lettuce wrap double double.

You already know the big deal here. Fresh, high-quality ingredients that make for simple but desirable burgers. Their consistency with the service and food also deserves mentioning. Double-Double: I add both raw and grilled onions, which adds to the existing layers of flavors. Delectable, 9/10! French fries: they are decent, 7/10. Even better animal style for an 8/10 rating. Neopolitan shake ($2.99): creamy with layers of flavors with each sip, 9/10. The staff is always attentive and efficient. It's just usually busy, and if the wait wasn't about 20 to 30 min., then I'd go here more often. read more
