Quality/Quantity - Back to our go-to travel food. I like…read morethis brand when traveling because they give us car trays and mats. So I can stay productive when traveling. Eating and driving. But today we decided to actually eat here, on the outside patio/seating. Today we got 3 cheeseburgers, all with different styles of onions. Two grilled onions and my usual raw onion. And we ALL shared one order of fries. Again, we are trying (but failing) to eat healthier. Decent quantities, thank you. All of which were good. On this visit, my bread was "normal." Not rock hard like on my first visit in 2023. Atmosphere - Two entrances. We chose to come in from the back part of the lot today. Drive thur available, but then how will I take my Yelp pictures? LOL. A long narrow parking lot, another reason to come in from the back to avoid poor drivers. It is best to park further from the entrances, as it can get congested with the parking and the drive thru exit. Indoor and outdoor seating. Service - The cashier was so friendly, but today it was VERY loud so I could not hear her talk?!?! There were 3 registers going, and because we were ALL next to each other, everyone was trying to talk over each other and was almost yelling?!?! As for speed of service, it was slightly quicker than a "normal" In N Out. But we know and do not mind that we have to wait as food is made to order. Fresh, fresh, fresh. Price - $17, inexpensive and of great value. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1948 with your 424+ locations in 10 states and still keeping it within the family!! Thanks for keeping it simple and good!

This is one of our usual stops on drives to/from Tahoe! It's a great midpoint stop from the Bay…read moreArea to Tahoe. In n Out is the only fast food restaurant I go to! Their burgers are the freshest and at this price point, nothing comes close! I would venture to say that some restaurants can't beat their burgers! Their burgers use fresh ground beef, all the veggies are super fresh. I usually get the hamburger (no cheese because this girl has to watch her figure), with regular onions and peppers. I like their regular fries! My family likes fries animal style. The line can be looong but they do the best they can, always with a smile! Their decor is retro fast good aesthetic with lots of red and white gingham print. Every restaurant has a similar vibe, down to the palm trees out front!

Been trying to get to this place for a while and finally had the chance today. The service, the…read morevibe, the food, everything was just right. Maybe on the pricey side but I think it was very fair for the quality they serve. On a Sunday afternoon it was a constant stream of customers, but they have some indoor seating and plenty of covered outdoor seating with misters. Ketchup and water dispenser available along with packaged condiments like more ketchup, mustard, mayo, and even malt vinegar. Names are called on the speaker and they have several windows to pick up at. Orders are placed inside or outside at the window. It's pretty neat and makes for a perfect blend of updated/nice with great old school charm. I ordered the Guido (pastrami burger), halfsies (family size of fries and onion rings, opted for waffle fries), and a vanilla twisty with heath bar. The Guido is excellent, but you have to know what you're in for. With the pastrami and the deli mustard, it tastes overwhelmingly like a pastrami sandwich and less like a burger. But the patty, cheese, and veggies do add something to it. It's also very messy, but it was delicious. The onion rings were excellent. They have that smooth batter style, sorta kinda like tempura. My wife prefers the panko style so she was more into the fries. For the fries, they were good but I'd probably opt for normal fries next time instead of waffle fries. I was expecting something somewhat similar to chick fil a, but these were a little on the thicker side and almost had the texture of potato wedges. I'm also not a big fry seasoning guy, and these were well seasoned. But that's a me thing. We still ate them all and you know when I come back I'm not leaving here without fries. The twisty was really good. I might be the only one, but I'm such a sucker for heath bar when I saw it on the menu I had to order it. The ice cream was really good quality. Had a great texture and taste. They were generous with the heath bar. I'm aware I took down a disgusting amount of food, but I think if I could change one thing I'd get the larger size of the twisty next time. It was really good. Wish they had a location closer than 30 mins up the hill, but that won't stop me. Note that my wife asked about the black bean patty and it has cheese in it so it is vegetarian but not dairy free or vegan. So if you go that way, there's that. Not much for you besides fries and dole whip.

A Great Burger, a Little Nostalgia, and a 20-Minute Test of Patience…read more I've been bringing my family to this location for years--back when it was a Foster Freeze. This place has some history for me. Many a Friday night, when I was the Defensive Coordinator for Lincoln High School, I'd find myself here. And on those hot summer days, my wife and I would stop in with our son Jonathan before heading off to watch Lincoln play Nevada City. So, yes... I have a little emotional investment in this place. Fast-forward to today, and I'm happy to report that the burgers are still worth talking about. The buns were soft, the meat was flavorful, and the whole burger experience hit the spot. And, of course, my family gave the milkshakes their official seal of approval--which, in my household, is basically a Michelin star. The menu has plenty of good options, there's outdoor seating, and the staff is genuinely working hard. They're multitasking like their lives depend on it, so every once in a while you may need to repeat your order. But honestly, I'd rather see people working hard and trying to take care of everyone than standing around looking bored. Parking can be a bit challenging, too. Consider it part of the dining experience--your appetizer is finding a parking space. So why only four stars? The wait. We waited about 20 minutes for our food. It wasn't terrible, but when you're hungry enough to start considering whether ketchup packets are technically a meal, 20 minutes feels like a lifetime. That said, the food was really good, the staff was friendly, and there's a genuine sense that people are working hard to make this place successful. Bottom line: Great burgers, excellent milkshakes, a solid menu, friendly people, and a little nostalgia thrown in for free. I'd absolutely recommend giving this place a try. Just remember: bring your appetite, a little patience, and maybe say your order twice. Four stars--and I'll definitely be back.

My husband and I split the chicken salad sandwich and a date shake, and we ordered a large açaí bowl for the kids to share. It was definitely a little pricey, but everything was delicious. We ordered the large date shake, which was $15, açaí bowl was $20, and the sandwich was $18. The service was great, and they had plenty of crayons to keep the kids entertained while we waited. The kids loved their açaí bowl too. We will definitely come back the next time we're in town.

Batter was heavily cornmeal, not sure who likes cornmeal on as their batter but, ew dawg. The onion rings, SOAKED with oil, they literally oozed it out from being under-fried, or just not hot enough. Then the Mac and cheese bites, just no. We also got a burger, and nothing to do with how we wanted was followed, not the toppings, not the nothing.

And MCD makes some of the BEST fries! Happy Meal - Not sure why my buddy got this, I know we just wanted a snack. Maybe he also wanted a toy??? Atmosphere - Cool decor throughout, see pictures. Drive thru available. They do quite a bit of mobile orders at this location. I guess that is better than drive thru? Mobile orders require the customer to come inside and pick up their food. Open 7 days a week from 5am to 10pm. Plenty of parking. Free wifi, I did not use it. Service - Self service kiosk, the payment machine on the kiosk did not work. The employee at the register took care of me. Self service soda fountain, for my buddy's happy meal, lol. Price - $4+ for medium fries. Expensive but so worth it. The small is just not enough, just a tease! Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success at this location since 1954 and thanks for always being here for us for our breaks. Congrats on all your success since 1940 and being a part of the S&P 100. As of 2020, McDonalds has the 9th highest global brand valuation.

We're Auburn locals- don't eat breakfast out much but one day after an early doctors appointment…read moreand my husband is a breakfast foodie- we decided to have a light bite here-again after probably 6 months ago. Well, no disappointment here! It was on a Thursday morning- people were there eating, more then kept coming since it's almost lunch time. The server gal is super sweet, prompt, and came back plenty of times asking if everything is alright! I had the hot Reuben sandwich with a cup of their clam chowder while my husband had the fish and chops and a bowl of clam chowder. LOVE the soup! Nice balance of creaminess, taste and enough clams! Filling and satisfying on its own. The sandwich was also tasty- enough that I had to bring back half to take home. Husbands fish and chip which was on their special of the day was a bit disappointing- he said wasn't as tasty as he hoped and could have been a better serving size. Overall, nice place to have breakfast or brunch; cute place to chow down since liking at everyone's else's food- serving size it quite hefty! Yay! Definitely coming back more often!

I don't know what was going on back there, but the servers barely made rounds to our table, didn't even ask us if we wanted coffee, and when we asked one server to check on our food. All she said was "it would be out soon" and we heard that for the next 10 minutes each time we asked. The restaurant itself seemed pretty clean although the bathrooms definitely could use renovation. You can just tell that either they have so much business they don't care much about service or they're just not quite sure how to dial everything in to balance the front of house and kitchen delivery. If I have any specific suggestions to offer: tell your customers upfront about your kitchen wait times. Nobody wants to wait an hour for breakfast food. Make sure to follow up with your customers and ask them if they want anything else to drink besides water it seems like a really easy way to make extra money.
