In-N-Out Cookout Trailer

I was so stoked to have these guys cater my wedding, the reviews were so good! But my experience definitely had some highs and lows.
HOW IT WORKS_​
The price for this truck goes according to how much your guests eat.
To rent out the truck, you have to pay $ 1,400, which will feed about 140 people.
Each guest can order a whatever burger, and it comes with chips and a drink.
If guests order more food, the price goes up according to whatever was ordered.
If the guests eat less than $ 1,400 worth of food, you still pay the $ 1,400.
You pay half now and then the rest either…
A) At the wedding, or
B) After the wedding they will send you an invoice.
The company will give you a sheet stating how much for each item
If you have under 150 people, you can personalize your In-​N-​Out and it won’t take up that much extra time to prepare the food. So Animal-​Stlye the crap out of your order!
+ Called the In-​N-​Out cookout trailer, the woman answered all of my questions. She seemed a little disinterested in me, but I’m sure she goes over the same potential client about thirty times a day. I kept in touch with her via email, and was able to sign paperwork and put down a deposit.
— A month later, the woman sent us a contract stating that the minimum price went up, so we had to pay EVEN MORE after we discussed the last base price. SUCKS. The letter pretty much said, can’t wait to cater your wedding, by the way you will have to pay an extra $ 100 because our prices went up. Thanks for understanding.” So now our base price is $ 1,500.
POSITIVES/​NEGATIVES_​
+ The In-​N-​Out came to the venue and were prepared right in time for dinner.
+ My Animal Style Cheeseburger was on POINT.
+ Guests loved the food. A couple said it was the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding. Win.
— …But it took some guests forty-​five minutes to get their order. I can understand though, there was 140 people at this wedding.
— Just know that if your friends know that they’re food is free, they will try to order nine Double-​Double hamburgers on their way out, PER PERSON! HAHAHA. fatties!
— But this is the kicker, I found out after my wedding, our soda had mildew in it. Guests complained that the soda tasted like «Warm armpit,» «plastic,» and «sewer water.» Among other complaints and physical responses. My bridesmaid asked the trailer what was wrong with the soda, and the trailer said that the soda has been sitting in the truck all day. My bridesmaid asked if they could switch out the soda and they said they couldn’t because it was the last truck they had. So my guests were stuck with some nasty, warm-​tasting, armpitty soda.
+ I got the tab for In-​N-​Out, and it was actually decently priced. In-​N-​Out itemized all of the foods that we ate that night, which I really liked.
— I wrote the nastiest email explaining what happened to the soda at my wedding. A week and a half rolled by without acknowledgment.
+ I called In-​N-​Out and talked to two women, one girl answered the phone to tell me that the manager was out but would have someone call me back regarding my complaint. The second woman called me back within the next ten minutes. Both women were nice, friendly, and very accommodating. When I talked to them about the soda, they were more than happy to fix the amount so I didn’t have to pay for the soda. This knocked off about $ 200 off my bill.
Do I regret using them? No, the food was good… too bad that the trailer can’t provide chips, but I had the venue provide fries so I had that base covered. Would I use them again? I can’t answer that LOL.

Wow, I remember the first time I ever had a meals on wheels In N Out Cookout Trailer. I was in jr high and it was all the rage as soon as the bell rang for lunch. Everyone was racing to the open quad so that they could be the first to get an In N Out burger (oh no, not just any burger, but an In N Out Burger… if you’ve had an In N Out Burger, then you know what I’m talking about).
Each person in line all had a certificate for 1 burger (with or w/​o cheese), a bag of Lays potato chips & a drink (not exactly healthy fare at a Jr. High, but this was back in the day when people were more ignorant about the food choices they offered kids in school… so what if I want chocolate or strawberry milk? Ok, now I’m off my soap box. promise!). I remember my cheeseburger being just as good as the ones you would get at a brick & mortar store. The only downside is that they do not provide the opportunity to have your delicious meaty and juicy burger with their signature fries (sad face) and thus giving you a bag of chips instead. But I understand that with a trailer (one of the originally food trucks out there before the food truck craze hit the world) they want to limit the number of things to offer for their consumers to make it easier for the staff working inside. And since the burgers are just as amazing as their physical store locations, all is forgiven (smiley face).
The next time I had experienced the trailer again was in high school. Students were awarded a free lunch because of having higher test scores than the year prior (it pays to study kids). And it was just as exciting as I had remembered it to be when I had it in jr. high. The same ol’ familiar delicious juicy burger with the yellow cheese square melted on my burger patty and the sauce just dripping with deliciousness (and also down my mouth and my hands… what a pretty sight! This girl can eat!).
Then lastly, the most recent experience I had with the trailer once more was at a person’s wedding… can you say AWESOME? That is pretty awesome (there I said it) and it was just a fun unique quirkiness that the Mr. & Mrs. were able to bring to their wedding (it really added to their cute wedding theme actually) and allow guests to enjoy some not so traditional wedding food. And the staff were actually very, very good at accommodating 100+ guests, helping the lines move down rather quickly. I remember taking one look at the lines during the reception and thought it would be a long time til I get food (thank goodness I had some appetizers during cocktail hour), but sure enough, I might have only waited maybe 15 minutes? And then my mouth was enjoying a burger and I was happy (big happy face).
Anyways, the In N Out Trailer offers more than just delicious food for me. It also brings that special nostalgia of my time in jr. high and high school (and I am sure now with the new bride & groom who had it at their wedding). If I have an event that I need to feed a large number of people, I would totally think of calling up In N Out because I am sure it will most likely please the majority of the people.

It’s really hard to give up eating beef when someone offers you a free In-​N-​Out burger!
I tried to just say «No» to the In-​N-​Out burger, but that gravitational pull just took the best of me. Every year my husband’s office building manager treats all the building tenants to free burgers, ice cream, music, photo booth and shopping. Today was the day and it was really nice to mingle with the other tenants and chow down on some great burgers.
At first that double double with cheese was calling my name, but I had to reason with the In-​N-​Out devil and just get a cheeseburger protein style. There are no fries at the trucks, so at least I didn’t have to lose to that temptation as well.
The staff on the trucks are on the ball and the line moves very quickly. In addition, the trucks look brand spanking new. Just take a look at my photos. That is one company that knows what it’s doing, so they are definitely getting 5 stars from me.

My office building had the In-​N-​Out truck come by today. There’s a real In-​N-​Out about a 10 – 15 minute walk away from my office, but I was feeling lazy today.
I’ve had food from the truck a number of times before and it’s always been good. But, I can’t help but feel like I would rather have the real thing. The truck doesn’t offer fries or burgers with onions. No animal style either. I love onions on my burgers, so I’m always disappointed.
Next year, maybe I’ll pass and just walk to the real one. Building management sold tickets for $ 4 each for a burger, a bag of Lay’s classic potato chips, and a drink. Not really worth it (but that’s not In-N-Out’s fault). I’d rather pay a little bit more for the real thing.

Nowhere near as awesome as a brick and mortar In-​N-​Out. Had it at an event recently. It took forever, and they messed up my order… And it just didn’t taste as good as the burger I expected. Meh. I’ve experienced better. Next time I’ll just drive to In-​N-​Out, it’ll probably be faster than waiting anyhow.

Once upon a time on Hamburger lane a group of seven dedicated trucks parlayed thier might to rid the land of the evil hunger. Today, at my place of employment, they succeeded.
I have tasted thier goodies before at various colleges I have attended and fairs. You will get a burger, potato chips and a medium drink (menu varies depending on what is paid for/​agreed upon in advance). The only thing missing is fries but the main even is the burger, so its no biggie for most.
The burgers were good, nice thick warm onion, good looking lettuce, two grilled patties with the typical In-​N-​Out melted cheese. The soda fell a bit flat, which is the only reason this rating is 4 and not 5. I like soda very cold, very fizzy and very potent.
The trucks were lovely, clean polished tires with good safe threading. Clean, well washed white and red painted body. The silver was clean and almost spotless. The servers were well dressed, professional and in a good mood when I went. Overall, they provide a benefit for any group wanted to raise money or bring a treat for employees.
I was happy to have a free meal today, In-​N-​Out hit the spot. Other than the tad flat soda everything was just great. Like a group of heroes sent off by ship to rescue the princess these heroes are sent by truck to make you happy before returning to Hamburger Lane.

The In-​N-​Out Cookout Trailer was a huge success at my recent wedding party! Most weddings I’ve been to feature a catered meal with some kind of rubbery chicken, generic potatoes, and a luke warm vegetable medley. Our guests feasted on the greatest burgers on earth and enjoyed fantastic service from the cookout trailer servers. Great service & great food added to a perfect evening.
Things you should know:
No milkshakes or fries are served in the trailer. Only burgers, grilled cheese, bags of chips, and soda.
Thanks In-​N-​Out for making my burger wedding dreams come truuuuue!

In-​N-​Out on wheels? What an awesome idea! Their truck is like any gourmet food truck out there and their trailer, as suggested by the name, is huge.
Since 2004, I have had burgers made from the truck (and sometimes the trailer) for a total 19 times, counting tonight. Yes, I kept count. The workers are pretty quick cooking and putting together the tasty stacks but be warned that the patties are not always well-​done. The truck also cannot make fries of shakes here, so you’ll have to settle for Lays Classic (or whatever chips that they are providing — Mrs. Vickies was available) and fountain drinks.
If you need a fundraiser idea or a caterer, you can get the truck to cater for 1.5 hours (approximately 250 hamburgers, cheeseburgers, Double-​Doubles, chips and drinks) starting out at $ 1,818 (tax included). Just book 3 – 4 months in advance and have some sort of ticket system or your own cashier handy cuz they can’t touch money.
Prices:
chips — $.75 + tax
drinks — $ 1.50 + tax
grilled cheese — $ 2.90 + tax
hamburger — $ 2.95 + tax
cheeseburger — $ 3.30 + tax
Double-​Double — $ 4.40 + tax
All the details are here:
If you’re the event coordinator, you can decide whether the truck will honor all the item menu styles or not (animal, etc) or limit it so the lines go faster.
Make sure you keep your people in check so that there aren’t a million people chomping at the window and the workers risk undercooking the patties.
Of course, it’ll never be as perfect as one you’ll get at the store, but it’ll be an In-​N-​Out all to yourselves.
Don’t forget the SOS Sauce.
