In addition to the secret menu items listed, In-N-Out Burger also offers a few other secret menu options that aren’t as commonly known but are still available for those in the know. Here are a couple more secret menu items you might want to try:

1. Chopped Chilies: If you like a little kick to your burger, ask for chopped chilies to be added to any item on the menu. These spicy peppers add a burst of flavor that complements the savory goodness of In-N-Out’s burgers.
2. Mustard Grilled Patty: For an extra layer of flavor, request your beef patty to be mustard-grilled. This involves grilling the beef patty with a layer of mustard, which caramelizes during cooking, adding a tangy and slightly sweet taste to your burger.

Remember, these secret menu items might not be listed on the menu boards, so don’t hesitate to ask your server or cashier if you’d like to try them. With a little creativity and willingness to explore, you can customize your In-N-Out experience to suit your taste preferences perfectly!
