In N Out Secret Menu: Items, Prices, Sauces & Burgers 2026

In-N-Out’s “secret menu” is better described as a collection of popular custom preparations. In fact, In-N-Out calls it the Not So Secret Menu. Customers can order familiar options such as Animal Style, Protein Style, 3×3, 4×4 and Grilled Cheese, while the Flying Dutchman is another long-established custom order associated with the chain.

This guide explains what these options actually include, how to order them, and what to consider before relying on a price you see online. In-N-Out prices can vary by restaurant and market, so use the price table below as a reference rather than a guaranteed price for every location.

What Is the In-N-Out Not So Secret Menu?

The menu is not a separate hidden list that customers need a password to access. Many of its best-known choices are simply different ways of preparing the regular burger ingredients. In-N-Out itself publishes several of these customizations on its official Not So Secret Menu.

Animal Style

Animal Style changes how the burger is prepared. The beef patty is mustard-cooked and the burger is served with pickle, extra spread and grilled onions along with the selected burger toppings. It can be requested with different burger configurations.

Protein Style

Protein Style replaces the traditional bun with hand-leafed lettuce. This changes the burger’s carbohydrate and calorie profile, but it does not automatically make every ingredient suitable for every dietary requirement.

3×3 and 4×4

A 3×3 has three beef patties and three slices of American cheese, while a 4×4 has four patties and four cheese slices. Both are larger versions of the familiar burger format with lettuce, tomato, spread and optional onions.

Grilled Cheese

The Grilled Cheese uses melted American cheese with lettuce, tomato and spread, with or without onions, on a bun. It provides a meat-free burger-style option, although customers with specific dietary restrictions should still review ingredient and allergen information.

Flying Dutchman

The Flying Dutchman is a particularly simple order consisting of two beef patties and two slices of cheese without buns or condiments. In-N-Out’s company history identifies it as a creation associated with former company president Guy Snyder.

How to Order Secret Menu Items

The simplest approach is to order by the established name when one exists, such as “Protein Style” or “Animal Style.” For other customizations, clearly describe what you want added, removed or changed. Availability and the ability to accommodate a particular customization can depend on the restaurant and current operations.

About Secret Menu Prices

Prices shown on independent menu websites should be treated as estimates. Restaurant pricing can differ by location and can change over time. Check the menu at your local In-N-Out restaurant when you need the exact amount before ordering.

Nutrition and Allergen Note

Changing a burger can materially change its nutrition and allergen profile. For example, Protein Style replaces the bun with lettuce, while cheese and spread contain their own listed allergens. If nutrition, ingredients or food allergies affect your order, review In-N-Out’s current official nutrition information rather than relying only on a general menu guide.

Double-Meat: An Easy-to-Miss Official Option

Double-Meat is one of the options listed by In-N-Out on its official Not So Secret Menu. It uses two American beef patties with lettuce, tomato, spread and optional onions, but no cheese. It can be useful for customers who want additional beef without turning the order into a cheeseburger.
