In-N-Out's Cheese Burger Meal

Beef patty, onion, tomato, lettuce, cheese & mayo on a lightly-toasted bun.
The tasteless patty is so thin it is practically transparent. The huge chunks of raw onion are unfortunately the only source of flavour.
FINAL SCORE: 6.3/10

1/2lb beef patty, lettuce, tomato, pickles, mustard, mayo & relish on a "freshly baked" bun.
Tasty burger from this retro-styled restaurant chain. Comes wrapped in a handy paper holder that aids in the initial eating but soon becomes a slop depository.
FINAL SCORE: 7/10

2 x beef patties, cheese, tomato & lettuce on a toasted bun.
This double-decker behemoth is so massive that there is no chance of tackling it with your hands. Despite the juicy grilled patties I struggled to finish this bad boy. Come prepared.

3 x beef patties, 2 x slices cheese on a white bun (with mayo, ketchup, onions & pickles added by me at the condiments table).
Quick and friendly service despite the surly cook insisting I 'get a double' instead. Thin but tasty patties get my thumbs up!
FINAL SCORE: 7.3/10
