Every In-N-Out Fry Style Explained

In-N-Out fries come in one base form, but the way you order them changes everything. Here’s every style available, including secret menu options.

Regular Fries

Regular fries at In-N-Out are cut fresh daily from whole potatoes shipped directly from the farm. They go straight from the potato into the fryer — no freezing, no pre-processing. The result is a fry that’s softer and more potato-forward than most fast food fries. Some people love that. Others want something crispier, which is where the other styles come in.

How to order: Just say “fries” — this is the default.

Ingredients: Potatoes, sunflower oil, salt, black pepper, canola oil.

Animal Style Fries

Animal Style fries are the most ordered secret menu item at In-N-Out by a wide margin. You get regular fries topped with a slice of melted American cheese, caramelized grilled onions, and In-N-Out’s spread (the same sauce that goes on the burgers — a Thousand Island-style dressing made with relish and egg).

The combination works because of contrast: the salty fry, the sweet onions, the creamy tang of the spread. They’re messy and best eaten immediately before the fries go soft. If you’re ordering them, eat them first.

How to order: “Can I get the fries Animal Style?”

Calories: ~750 (estimated — In-N-Out doesn’t publish an official number for Animal Style fries).

Cheese Fries

Cheese fries are exactly what they sound like — regular fries with melted American cheese on top. No sauce, no onions. It’s a simpler version of Animal Style for people who want cheese but not the full loaded experience.

The cheese is the same American cheese used on their burgers, and it gets melted directly onto the fries before they hand it to you.

How to order: “Can I get my fries with cheese?”

Calories: ~480–550 (estimated).

Well Done Fries

Well done fries are cooked longer than standard fries — they come out crispier, darker, and with less of that soft interior. If you’re someone who prefers a crunchier fry, this is worth requesting every time. It costs the same as regular fries.

A lot of regular In-N-Out customers just default to ordering well done. It’s probably the most common customization on fries after Animal Style.

How to order: “Can I get the fries well done?”

Calories: Same as regular — 360 calories. Cooking time doesn’t significantly change the calorie count.

Light Well Fries (Light Fries)

Light well fries are the opposite of well done — they’re cooked for less time, which makes them softer and a bit more pale. If you like a softer, less crispy fry, or if you find standard In-N-Out fries a bit too done, light is worth trying.

How to order: “Can I get the fries light?” or “light well.”

Calories: Same as regular — 360 calories.

Extra Well Done Fries

One step beyond well done. These are cooked until they’re very crispy and a bit drier. Some people love them; others find them too hard. It depends on how crispy you want to go.

How to order: “Extra well done fries, please.”

No Salt Fries

You can ask for fries with no added salt. They come out of the fryer the same way, just without the seasoning step. In-N-Out uses salt with black pepper as their fry seasoning, so skipping it noticeably changes the flavor. Some people do this to add their own seasoning; others do it for dietary reasons.

Note: No salt fries have the same calorie count as regular fries. The sodium drops, but everything else stays the same.

How to order: “Fries with no salt, please.”

Mustard Fried Fries

A lesser-known customization. You can ask for mustard applied to the fries before or during cooking, similar to how Animal Style burgers get mustard cooked into the patty. It adds a tangy, slightly sharp flavor that pairs well with the potato.

How to order: “Can I get the fries with mustard fried in?”

Roadkill Fries

Roadkill Fries are a secret menu item — Animal Style fries with a crumbled hamburger patty mixed in on top. It’s essentially a deconstructed burger and fries in one box. They’re heavy, filling, and absolutely not for anyone watching their intake. They also make a solid case for not needing to order a burger separately.

Not every location knows the name, but any associate can make them — just describe what you want: Animal Style fries with a crumbled patty on top.

How to order: “Roadkill Fries” or “Animal Style fries with a crumbled burger patty on top.”

Calories: ~900–1,000+ (estimated — patty adds significant calories).

Official In-N-Out calories for regular fries: 360 cal per 125g serving. Cheese, Animal Style, and Roadkill calorie counts are estimated based on add-on ingredients. In-N-Out does not publish separate nutrition info for secret menu items.

A few things worth knowing:

  • Regular fries are cholesterol-free and have zero trans fat.
  • The 150mg sodium on regular fries is relatively low compared to most fast food fries.
  • Adding Animal Style toppings roughly doubles the fat and nearly doubles the calories.
  • Fries are gluten-free by ingredients (potatoes + sunflower oil + seasoning), but cross-contact in the kitchen is possible. If you have celiac disease, check with the specific location.

What Makes In-N-Out Fries Different

In-N-Out is one of the few chains still cutting potatoes fresh in-store every day. Most fast food fries arrive pre-cut, par-fried, and frozen. In-N-Out’s process is:

  1. Whole potatoes arrive from the farm
  2. Associates cut them in-store daily
  3. They go directly into the fryer — no freezing step
  4. Cooked in 100% sunflower oil (no trans fat)

The ingredients list for In-N-Out fries is three things: potatoes, sunflower oil, and seasoning (salt, black pepper, canola oil). That’s it. No preservatives, no additives, no coatings.

The trade-off is that fresh-cut fries don’t hold their texture as long as frozen fries do. If you eat them right away, they’re good. If they sit for 10 minutes, they go soft. Order fries last, eat them first.

How to Order In-N-Out Fries Like a Regular

A few ordering tips that make a difference:

Get them well done if you want crunch. The standard fry is softer than most fast food fries. Well done gives you the texture that people expect from fries.

Animal Style works best fresh. The grilled onions and spread make the fries go soft faster. Eat them before anything else at the table.

Combine well done with Animal Style. This is probably the most popular “power order” for fries at In-N-Out. The extra crispiness holds up better under the toppings.

Ask for spread on the side. If you want the spread but don’t want the fries to get soggy, ask for it separately. You can dip instead.

Add chopped chilies. It’s a free add-on, zero calories, adds some heat. Works on regular fries or Animal Style.

Are In-N-Out fries gluten-free?

Are In-N-Out fries vegan?

+

Regular, well done, light, and no-salt fries are vegan — the ingredients are just potatoes, sunflower oil, and seasoning. Animal Style fries are not vegan because they contain cheese and spread (which has eggs). Cheese fries are also not vegan.

What is the difference between well done and regular fries at In-N-Out?

+

Well done fries are cooked longer than standard fries, giving them a crispier texture and slightly more golden color. The calorie count stays the same. Regular fries are softer and more potato-forward. If you want something closer to a traditional crispy fast food fry, well done is the way to go.

Can I get extra crispy fries at In-N-Out?

+

Yes — ask for “well done” or “extra well done.” Well done gets you crispier, golden fries. Extra well done takes it further and gets them very crunchy. Some people find extra well done too dry, so well done is usually the right call if you’re trying it for the first time.

Why does In-N-Out only have one size of fries?

+

In-N-Out keeps their menu intentionally simple. One size of fries, a small set of burgers, drinks, and shakes — that’s it. The chain has operated this way since 1948 and hasn’t added a second fry size. If you want more fries, you order a second serving.

Why do people say In-N-Out fries are bad?

+

The most common criticism is that In-N-Out fries go soft quickly and taste more like plain potato than a typical fast food fry. This happens because they’re fresh-cut with no additives or coatings — which is actually a quality thing, but it means they don’t hold texture as long as frozen fries do. Ordering them well done and eating them first solves most of the texture complaint.

Are In-N-Out fries healthy?

+

Compared to most fast food fries, In-N-Out fries are on the cleaner end — 360 calories, 150mg sodium, no preservatives, and only three ingredients. They’re still deep-fried, so they’re not a diet food, but the ingredient list is minimal. Where the calories stack up is with Animal Style (around 750 cal) or Roadkill Fries (900+ cal). Regular or light fries are the lower-calorie option.

What oil does In-N-Out use for fries?

+

In-N-Out cooks their fries in 100% sunflower oil. It’s cholesterol-free and trans fat-free. This is confirmed on their official nutrition page and in their food quality section. They don’t use any blended oils or hydrogenated fats for frying.
