    A ketchup container that my beans and rice came in.

    Ordered a side of beans and rice and got a ketchup container full of beans and rice.I always get that without problems until I got handed a bird size container.

    Had me waiting 20 minutes for an order of cheese fries they ran out of nacho cheese and didn't tell me. They sprinkled chopped up cheese and said they'd heat up cold cheese and couldn't refund my order! Also said they couldn't make anything else in exchange because they were "closing" but helped the rest of the new cars coming in!

    Holy SMOKES!!!! That double cheese burger had me rockin and a rollin!!! They somehow missed my car in line while in the drive thru, so they gave me a large fry instead of a small. The burger was great, and to be quiet honest, this burger would probably be my top option for a last meal (if my auntie couldn't make her world famous gumbo). I mean HOLY TOLEDO!! This darn burger made me damn near cry it was so good. All in all it's the only good thing this small town probably has to offer, unless you want Pizza Factory.

    This place is so good. Working out here for 3 days and came here 2 days, wishing I came here all 3 days. Owners are super nice. Not much to do or eat in Dos Palos but this place is a must have!

    Cheesburger is one of the best around along with fries! This is a whole new level. Top notch and no comparision to others.

    Slow service, pricey, greasy. I always order tacos and fries. They have good flavor but leak with oil.

    This In N Out is located in Santa Nella, CA, where Interstate 5 and Highway 152 meet…read more This location has been here since 2011. To me, the interior and exterior still look pretty new. The parking lot is large. I usually use the drive thru versus dining in. They keep the lot and interior pretty clean considering the massive number of travelers pass through. The staff here have been great even when handling disgruntled customers that need a nap. The food and pricing is typical In N Out. Food is hot and nicely packaged. The burger patties are seasoned, having a good flavor. Grilled onions on point. Fresh fixings. Yum. FYI- Tesla and Rivian Network electric chargers are located across the street in the hotel parking lot facing Henry Miller Road.

Of course In-N-Out Burger would plant itself a place here. Stopping here for a late lunch was quite the experience. Although somewhat secluded off the main road the signage to it can't be missed. They reach cell tower status in height. The place was packed with patrons. Even the outdoor seating, which is abundant, was overflowing, even with cold weather. I have to say they have their systems down pat and they know how to move product and people efficiently. The routine for ordering is like it is anywhere in this chain. Staff are always friendly and on the ball. Things move with precision! We ordered two No.2 meals with grilled onions and I immediately scouted out seating. Making a mad dash when a spot opened I planted myself firmly as a dozen others ran for that spot! The food was as to be expected, always consistently good and better quality than most places for the price. It was quick, satisfying and except for the crowd enjoyable. Oh, and why do so many folks own mega sized trucks and SUVs that barely fit in a parking space? Try navigating a mid-sized sedan between two of those "puppies" and trying to open the door to get out! The other observed, and rather sad, reality is the parking lot for the very long time institution, Andersons Pea Soup, was nearly empty. As we commented, try and convince your kids to have pea soup over a burger! Times have changed.

The fries were also crunchy, which is my personal preference for fries. I don't like fries that are super soggy. They did have a special the time that I went where they had like a barbecue burger/patty melt , which is the second burger pictured in this post. It's also pretty reasonably priced and in my opinion affordable. Service was really quick. They were packed when we were there and they were able to get out the food relatively quick. It's definitely like a burger joint you go you order and then you pick up your food there isn't that much customer service involved. Inside they have a huge painting of a burger, which I forgot to take a picture of, but they also have a really clean, which was nice. Anyways, I think it's really good. I would definitely go here again!

The other location in Buellton closed a while ago so I think this maybe the only one left. Could be the original but I'm not sure. Just off the 5 heading north. We stopped by for a quick bite before heading back on the road. Mid week which wasn't that busy. It's been so long ago that I didn't remember what the inside looked like. As we had our little pup with us, they were able to accommodate us. There's three entrance from the front area. Main being the one that leads you to the restaurant. Another is from the gift shop side and we also noticed people coming in from the side of the bar. One side is the restaurant which we looked at but ended up at the bar section. Which happened to be happy hour happening. Didn't know they had that to offer. Bar area was pretty quiet when we were there but it did pick up. There's also patio seating right outside there. Main menu pretty much has as everything but we just opted for some happy hour bites for now. Drink special was offered both for draft and bottle as well as cocktails and wine. Food menu, they were limited on that but the usual were offered. Both cup or bowl of the famous soup was available. Half order of the potatoes skin, onion rings and wings were available as well as the quesadillas. Soup was decent but could have been hotter. Onion rings, and the wings were ok. Good nothing major to rave about. Both served with ranch sauce. I also picked up some dessert from the counter which looked great. Happy hour items were decent for the price. The service for the whole place was great. All The staff and waitress were very friendly and helpful. Our waitress who was also the bartender was a major doll. She was very sweet. As well as all the ladies on the restaurant side. Very accommodating to us. Overall, it was a cute stop off for a quick bite. Cute gift shop that's worth a wandering around. Plenty of parking available.

Outside there is a photo op and the building looks really cool. Inside, you can find all things Danish. However, I was sad to find the shop was so much smaller than the pictures on Yelp show. Everything is connected inside - the shop, bakery, restaurant, bar, and restrooms. The restaurant is huge and there's also an eating area at the bar and a back patio, although it was dusty and cramped and I don't think many people use the patio seating. They are dog friendly and the bartender allowed us to sit in a corner of the bar with our two dogs for our dinner. We also were able to walk them around inside the shop. Split Pea Soup 3.5/5* The soup itself is boring. There's a grainy texture, good flavor, but blah. You definitely need to order the toppings to go with it, which is a weird combination of stuff that somehow makes the soup so much better. You get cheese, sliced ham, bacon, scallions, and croutons but the crunchy green onions and bacon are what makes the soup pop. It feels like eating a healthier version of chili. Country Fried Steak 2/5* Not your typical country fried steak. The batter on this is thin and isn't very textured with crunchy edges. It was like a sad limp piece of fried patty. The steak had good seasoning but the batter really did it no justice. Hashbrowns were average. The scrambled eggs were fluffy and English Muffin was perfectly toasted. I do like that they give you a whopping amount of whipped butter for your toast! The bakery had some good looking pastries. The whole experience reminded me of a piece of Solvang. Great rest stop for something different. Plus, the bathrooms are huge and clean.
