In-N-Out Burger Pacific Beach – Great Food, But Overcrowded and Chaotic This In-N-Out location is the closest one to La Jolla, conveniently situated near the I-5 highway exit in Pacific Beach. However, the triangle-shaped lot is far too small to handle the overwhelming demand. The drive-thru line extends onto the road, and at Sunday dinner time, the wait can easily exceed 50 minutes just to place and receive an order. A staff member is present to help direct traffic, but the congestion remains frustrating. The parking situation is a mess—limited spots are available, and several spaces technically belong to the neighboring car wash and body shop. Inside, the dining space is cramped and crowded, making it difficult to find a table. After ordering, I had 20 orders ahead of me, adding to the long wait. Another downside is the lack of cleanliness. The floors were noticeably dirty, and it seemed like cleaning wasn’t being done frequently enough, given the heavy foot traffic. Tables also weren’t wiped down quickly, adding to the chaotic atmosphere. Despite the chaotic setup, the food remains classic In-N-Out quality. I ordered the Double-Single, and the crispy toasted bun, fresh veggies, and juicy beef patties did not disappoint. The fries can be customized (definitely try them Animal Style), and their Lite Lemonade is a must-try, offering a refreshing taste with natural sweetener. There are some outdoor dining spots available, making it dog-friendly, but seating is very limited. If you're planning to visit, avoid peak hours unless you're prepared for long waits and parking hassles.

As a New Zealander, In N Out is talked about even in our country and being one of the world’s best burger joints. I finally got to see what the hype was all about and it lives up to it. A must visit if on the West Coast of America.

As an East Coast native, I’ve been waiting for the day that I get to indulge in In-N-Out. Man oh man, this place is worth the hype. I went with a Double Double, mustard fried, added chopped chiles, and extra spread. Thanks, TikTok. Well done fries and a vanilla shake. Despite how busy it was, the service was quick and pleasant. We were greeted and assisted with a smile on the worker's faces. We will for sure be back before flying back home. Oh and in the great In-N-Out/Shake Shack debate, I’m team In-In-Out.
