In-N-Out Adventure...again

After a long day of driving around the county and drinking at breweries, my friend and I decided to stop into a In-N-Out located on Scripps Poway Pkwy. We found a parking spot right away (shocker) walked right up to the counter (double shocker) and when we saw that were tables open (triple shocker), we both ordered 3x3's in honor of the occasion. I could hardly believe so I had to post a review on Yelp right away.

My First 3x3 with Grilled Onions (Right side). My lunch guest is enjoying a 3x3 as well, with no added sides; just meat, bun and cheese..

Animal Style Fries.. FTW!!!
