In-N-Out Secret Menu with Prices and Calories

How these numbers are calculated

In-N-Out publishes nutrition for the printed board and nothing else, so a 4x4 has no official figure anywhere. What the published sheet does give is enough to work the rest out. A Hamburger is 360 calories and a Cheeseburger is 430, so a slice of American cheese accounts for 70. A Double-Double is 610, which is the Cheeseburger plus one patty and one slice, so a beef patty accounts for 110.

Those two constants carry the whole page. A Double Meat is a Hamburger plus a patty at 470. A 3x3 is a Double-Double plus one of each at 790. A 4x4 adds two of each at 970. A Grilled Cheese is a Hamburger minus the patty plus a second slice at 390. Prices follow the same method using the $1.30 patty and the $0.50 slice the restaurant charges for add ons.

The free preparations

Five requests cost nothing. Animal Style cooks the patty in mustard and adds pickles, extra spread and grilled onions, which brings roughly 80 calories with it. Protein Style swaps the bun for lettuce and is the only off menu order with published figures, at 210, 280 and 460 calories for the three burgers. Chopped chilis add a spoon of yellow peppers. Extra toast holds the bun longer on the toaster. Well done fries stay in the oil past the standard timer.

None of these change the price and none require a special term at the register beyond the name itself. Animal Style is by far the most ordered of the five, to the point that the mustard cooked patty has become the way many regulars order by default rather than an occasional variation.

The paid builds

Five orders add ingredients and get charged. A 3x3 at roughly $7.70 and a 4x4 at roughly $9.50 stack patties and slices. A Double Meat at roughly $4.90 goes the other way, keeping two patties and dropping both cheese slices to save around 140 calories. A Grilled Cheese at roughly $3.00 removes the meat entirely. A Wish Burger at roughly $2.30 removes meat and cheese both, leaving the bun, vegetables and spread.

The Flying Dutchman sits apart from the rest. Two patties and two slices with no bun, no vegetables and no sauce, at roughly $4.15 and near 360 calories with almost no carbohydrate at all. It exists because the kitchen can assemble it faster than any other order on this page, and it has become the default request for anyone eating low carbohydrate here. Animal Style fries at roughly $4.60 are covered on the fries page.

Ordering without holding up the line

Every term on this page works at the speaker box and at the counter, and none of them needs an explanation. Say the burger first and the preparation second: a Double-Double Animal Style, a Cheeseburger Protein Style, a 3x3 with chopped chilis. Combining is fine, so a 4x4 Animal Style Protein Style is a normal order rather than a difficult one.

Two limits are worth knowing. Restaurants generally cap stacked burgers at four patties, so a 100x100 is not something a crew will build. And drive thru service moves fast enough that longer off menu orders are easier at the counter, particularly during the lunch rush. Opening times for both are on the hours page.
