The french fries are gluten free. I order mine "well done and cheesy"

Talk to a manager and they will make your burger separately (otherwise the buns can cross contaminate)

Here is how I order mine

"Double Double with cheese, protein style, no sauce....cheesy fries well done".

the sauce isnt gluten free???

gf4life Enthusiast

The sauce would be gluten free, except they slap it on with a spatula out of a vat, then the spatula goes back in the vat, etc...so it gets a lot of CC from the buns. The ketchup and mustard are in squeeze bottles and are gluten free.

I order mine : Double-Double, protein style, ketchup & mustard instead of sauce (sometimes with, sometimes without onion). This is about the only time I ever eat cheese, but it is so worth it!

I love their burgers. I only have a few fries that I steal from my kids. They are gluten free, but I try to limit my unhealthy fats, and the burger with cheese is plenty! The drinks and shakes are also gluten free. Pretty much everything but the buns and anything that comes in contact with the buns...

FYI,

you can also order it this way

"Double Double, Flying Dutchman, cheesy fries well done" -- flying dutchman means just meat and cheese, nothing else

or this way

"3 by 4, flying dutchman, cheesy fries, well done" - this means 3 pieces of meat, 4 pieces of cheese, jus meat and cheese...

LOL

google "In N Out Burger Secret Menu" and have fun...

Okay, I've got to ask...cheesy fries well done? Is this extra crispy fries with cheese on them? My kids would love the extra crispy fries, but not the cheese. My boys don't eat cheese. They never have and they even hate the smell of cheese. Now milk, yogurt, ice cream, shakes, and pretty much any dairy product is fine. But not cheese. Weird kids huh? ;)

My kids like to order the Z-burger protein style! That is just meat with nothing on it (zero toppings hense the Z) wrapped in lettuce. Some of them eat the lettuce, others eat the meat out of the lettuce and usually I eat their extra lettuce. My daughter who does like cheese won't eat the cheese there. She likes cheddar, rarely eats american cheese. I don't think she likes the texture on the burger. To me it is pure heaven! Cheese is the main dairy food I miss being dairy free. That is why I treat myself to it occasionally at In-N-Out.

Yeah,

You can simply order the fries "well done" and they will make them crispy.

I just like the melted cheese on top of them too :)

I use to work at in n out for 5 years. You do need to be careful on the protein burger as

well. When working the board the same person touches the same burger buns all day

and then touches the lettuce wrap. Same as the cook, touching the buns and the meat. If

you do get protein style ask for ketchup and they have mustard packets ask for those instead

because some board associates will spread the ketchup and mustard on the lettuce wrap with the same spatula and not just squirt it on. Animal stlye fries are good too. With spread, mustard and cheese and grilled onions..mmmmmmmm.... I miss those burgers that I use to eat everyday

that i worked there. They also have banana peppers that are good too. :angry::(

My brother has worked for IN-N-Out for over 20 years! We just recently found out that we have celiacs and of course I called him to ask...everything I read is correct, but there was one thing missing. In-N-Out is founded on customer service. If you let them know that you have a severe reaction to products containing gluten and ask that they use fresh gloves for handling food and new utensils, they will be glad to accomadate you! so if you like the sauce....just ask they use a new spatula! happy eating! :D

if you really like the sauce, you can ask for a side of the special sauce, it is packaged in a to go packet like mustard...safe from touching the grill of the spat

I can't remember which one I went to, but they opened a fresh tub of sauce, grabed a clean spatula and slathered the sauce on the fries right in front of me. I know it looked like overkill to the people behind me but it kept me from getting sick.

horsegirl Enthusiast

Is the sauce soy & casein free too? I'd love to have some on fries, & I didn't know they had individual serving-size packets of it!

FYI

I was just recently diagnosed celiac and read about in n out on this forum.

I was just at in n out and there is major cross contamination, although they grill the buns on a "separate" grill, they finish it off on top of the burger on the MAIN grill where they grill the protein style burgers.

I spoke with the employees there and explained my situation but there was not much to do because this is how they do it there.

If you are sensitive at all to gluten BEWARE! I get sick for 2 days from stuff like this..

I would stay away from in n out, don't get me wrong I LOVE IN N OUT, but if you don't want to get sick keep it in mind..

I can't really find any ready made food spot that is NOT cross contaminated....

I order a cheeseburger, protein style, with ketchup, mustard, onions, and I think tomato. Fries, too.

I REQUEST that they change GLOVES and prepare mine on a clean TRAY and NOT on the counter.

I request that they use a clean grill and utensils.

If I'm ordering with other people, I order separately so nothing will touch their bun.

If I order with others TO GO or in drive thru , I request SEPARATE BAGS to avoid cc with buns.

I have to say, I moved to the East coast this summer and I thought I'd miss In N Out, but FIVE GUYS ROCKS! Wa-aaay better. THe fries, the grilled array of toppings, the free peanuts, all of it!

      Hello, @NCalvo822, Blood tests for Celiac Disease test for antibodies our bodies make in response to gluten exposure.  These Tg IgA 2 antibodies mistakenly attack our own bodies, causing problems in organs and tissues other than just the digestive tract.  Joints can ache, thyroid problems or the pancreas can develop.  Ataxia is just one of over two hundred symptoms of Celiac Disease. Some people with Celiac Disease also make tTg IgA 6 antibodies in response to gluten exposure.  The tTg IgA 6 antibodies attack the brain, causing ataxia.  These tTg IgA 6 antibodies are also found in people with Parkinson's disease, though they may not have Celiac Disease.  First degree relatives (parents, siblings, children) of those diagnosed with Celiac should be tested as well.  Celiac is genetic.  Your mom and sister should be tested for Celiac, too!   Definitely a good idea to keep to a gluten free diet.

      @Rebeccaj,  When you smell toast or pasta cooking, that means that particles of that food are floating around in the air.  Airborne gluten can then be inhaled and swallowed, meaning the food particles get into your digestive tract.   If you're careful to avoid gluten and are still having symptoms, those symptoms could be caused by vitamin deficiencies.  
    • Rebeccaj
      ok thanks for your advice. But my question was what happens when someone you know in a house is cooking pasta or toast that's flour  Airbourne without eating.?

      Do discuss this recent article with your doctors.  Thiamine Vitamin B 1 is important to intestinal health.  Thiamine deficiency can occur in Celiac Disease due to malabsorption.  Supplementing with a B Complex, Benfotiamine, and Vitamin D can help symptoms.   Thiamine deficiency aggravates experimental colitis in mice by promoting glycolytic reprogramming in macrophages https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39890689/#:~:text=Our mechanistic study revealed that,necessary to protect against colitis. "Conclusion and implications: Our study provides evidence linking thiamine deficiency with proinflammatory macrophage activation and colitis aggravation, suggesting that monitoring thiamine status and adjusting thiamine intake is necessary to protect against colitis."

      Do keep in mind that most gluten free flours are not enriched nor fortified with vitamins and minerals like gluten containing flours are required to do.   Consuming a diet high in carbohydrates without sufficient B vitamins to digest and process them into energy can lead to High Calorie Malnutrition and weight gain. Deficiency symptoms of B vitamins resemble gastrointestinal symptoms when after eating gluten.  Gastrointestinal Beriberi is a form of Thiamine deficiency.   Do talk to your doctors about supplementing with essential nutrients while on the gluten free diet, especially if you're consuming processed foods.
