In-n-out Burger?

[amber-rose]

Hi!

In-n-out sells burgers in lettuce wraps. Anyone know if they're gluten-free? What about the fries? i heard that the fries are from friends because they dont even make onionrings or anything. so its just fresh potatoes being cut and fried by themselves! any help would be great!! thanks!

I have heard the same as you! Sadly, I have never had the chance to eat there. We had planned a stop there on the way back from Disneyland but it was so crowded.

Heres the deal with IN N OUT. Burger- Protien Style, no sauce, no grilled onions. Ask them to cook it away from the buns, they often have a grill in the back left open for special orders. Fries are ok, Shakes are ok. Cheese is fine if you can handle dairy. I also ask them to use a seperate bag if ordering with others, since the burgers aren't wrapped all the way. Be aware your order will take longer than everyone elses. I eat there about once a month. Fantastic. You may want to avoid crush times too, I'm not sure where you are, but the one near me gets rediculously busy during lunch hours.

I have eaten fries at In-and-Out with no problem. As far as I know, they only cook fries in their cookers. A burger wrapped in lettuce should be safe.. BUT, I think their sauce is NOT safe. If you order a burger, I suggest telling them that you need a gluten-free burger. Ask them to clean a section of the grill to cook your burger - they may toat burger buns on that grill - and ask for NO sauce.

Technically their sauce is gluten-free, but they use a knife to dip into the sauce and then spread it on the buns, so its a no-no. If you order the way I described above, you'll be fine.

i eat there all the time and am fine.

The onions are not gluten free? I eat them all the time. I don't think they're grilled, though, just raw. Well, i never get sick...hmmm?

The raw onions are fine, the grilled onions with the brown sauce are not ok.

Oh that's good to know. I've always heard not to order the sauce; now I know why.

I eat there fairly often and have had pretty good luck. I don't get sauce or onions and, obviously, no bun (and no cheese either because of the dairy). However, there is definitely some cross contamination in the way that the burgers are made. The same person who handles the buns also touches the lettuce that is used for the lettuce wrapped burgers. My boyfriend just pointed this situation out to me recently (very sweet of him to notice). I've definitely had some mild smyptoms after eating there.
