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!

      In the study linked above, the little girl switched to a gluten free diet and gained enough weight that that fat pad was replenished and surgery was not needed.   Here's the full article link...

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
