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.

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!

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
