it is very delicious. my brother and I flew into LAX last week, rented a car and drove out to PSP for the Coachella music festival. My brother had already printed out map quest directions from LAX to a nearby In and Out then onward to our hotel in Palm Springs. This was after the 4 course meal we had eaten on our way out there. ridiculous
My opinion of their fries changes each time I have them. Though they are always horrible if more than 5 minutes old
New In-n-Outers...Note this extremely important fact. This is my main problem with In-n-Out-It makes poor takeout food since the fries get terrible quickly. Otherwise, its delicious
So is 9:45-10:54 enough time at LAX to go to In N Out, make it back to the airport on time, and make a connection on time? Connection from UA to UAX/SkyWest.

1:09 is not going to cut it in my opinion
-up to 10 min to wait for parking spot shuttle
-7-10 min drive to lot
-20 min wait to order and get food (this in and hot is pretty popular and i have waited there for longer then 20 minutes for food. don't forget, everything is fresh)
-up to 10 min wait for shuttle to lax
-7-10 min drive to lax
that's an hour before you even get back to the terminal.
it's definitely great food and worth the trip, but not worth missing a flight. i would allow at least two hours since you want to eat it there to avoid soggy fries.

And this part can take even longer, if a big group comes in just ahead of you (as happened on my last visit, when a high school sports team came in when I was there - some of those people waited a half-hour or longer to receive their food).

Any way you look at it you are taking a chance. I've found the one at 4705 S. Maryland Pkwy. , Las Vegas, Nevada 89119 to be the closest and usually the fastest. The only way I would try it is in a cab, eating on the way back. Don't know if you can find a driver that will allow that though.

Just saw this thread again, I waited for about 10 minutes in line at the drive-thru and then about 5 minutes for my food. Oh how it was worth it! 4x2, animal style, protein style, fries, and a lemonade. YUM!!!

Reality check time
In-N-Out is good for a CHAIN burger, there is far better to be had out there in independent foodland if one looks around. Problem is most people don’t so they think In-N-Out is a great burger.
Unless the cook doesn’t know how to cook or absolute crap meat is used, a charcoal grilled burger will always triumph a flat top grilled burger cooked to the near well done that an In-N-Out burger and most chain burgers are.
Not all folks are going to have a good independent option near them as we’ve become infatuated with chain everything: coffee, clothing, food etc etc. but as stated above most folks simply haven’t tried other places so they don’t know what’s out there. Keep searching, far better is to be had.
