Default In-N-Out Burger Open?

I passed the In-N-Out on S. Virginia this evening. The big arrow sign was not on but the place was full of cars. There were cars "parked" in the drive through. The place was packed with people.

Was this their grand opening?

One can only hope!

It was open for people who were involved with building it (contractors, inspectors, etc) tonight but the grand opening is tomorrow.

I figure it'll be about 3 months before I'm willing to even try to go there. That place makes people insane... true the food's better than most fast food places, but it's still greasy-ass fast food and not worth a 3 hour wait!!

No, but if you looked closely you would have noticed a bunch of cones with "NO PARKING" signs on them that they had to get from somewhere.

I'll bet you can guess what I had for dinner tonight...

I was in a hurry when I drove by. Are you in the "no-parking" sign business Pat?

Wimp... And to call In-N-Out fast food is sacrilege. And especialy for you, Bacon is not extra, it is not even on the Menu....

Double Double, Lettuce Only
Fries Well Done
Strawberry Shake please...

I won't wait 3 hours for it, but maybe 30 minutes...

It's not sacrilege to call it fast food, just incorrect. If you spend longer in line to buy it than it would take you to butcher your own cow and make it yourself, it's certainly not fast. However, just the thought of bacon on a double-double rules...

3, maybe 4 years. Once the novelty of In-N-Out in Reno wears off. But there'll still be no parking, their location sucks. Rumor has it they were planning on the lot where Krispe Kreme is now, but KK swooped in under them and took it. That would have been a much better location than across the street from Burger King at a shitty intersection.

that place is always going to be full..looks like it will be easy to get into burger King at lunch now.. I stopped in at and IN & Out when I was in Phoenix. There are like 4 of them there and it was still Packed! Yes I know its Phoenix and huge but still that place has many many more places to eat and the " cool, an In & out burger" phase has passed and its still packed.

I wish you could franchise an In-N-Out. You'd make a bunch of money.

I drove past this morning at about 9:20 on the way to work. They are already open, the parking lot is packed, and the line for the drive through goes all the way out onto the street.
