1. Mustard-Grilled

Getting a mustard-grilled cheeseburger involves cooking the burger patty on one side, then squirting some mustard on the other side before flipping it.

The mustard becomes caramelized on the grill and seeps into the meat patty itself. This adds a tangy kick to the burger and the caramelization adds more savory notes.

3. Whole Grilled Onion

For onions on your burger without the sharp flavor of raw onions, ask for a whole grilled onion, which ensures a good flavor without too much crunch.

It comes with a grilled cross-section cut of the onion so you get intact rings instead of chopped pieces, providing sweetness and char while retaining the sharpness of raw onion.

4. Root Beer Float

In-N-Out's root beer float is a combination of root beer and their vanilla milkshake, but you can also opt for a different milkshake flavor if you prefer.

In-N-Out's staff will fill a milkshake cup halfway with the milkshake and top it off with some root beer. It's not as thick as a normal root beer float, but it's still pretty good.
