Since reservations aren’t possible, we arrived an hour early to ensure we could get a table for twelve before everyone else showed up.

Mom Violy's Craving for In-N-Out Burger

Mom Violy was craving for In-N-Out Burger knowing it was walking distance.  Upon entering In-N-Out Burger you'll be asked to wear a face mask and line up among other customers inside having two employees taking up your order. Mom Violy only wanted a Cheeseburger and Animal Fries without a beverage. Carmina wanted Hamburger and Regular Fries without a beverage. Carmina's Receipt:  Carmina had waited until an employee called up #44 at the counter having it for take-out. Carmina was able to take a photo of herself. Mom Violy was happy that her cravings went away although she couldn't finish her animal fries being too much for her.
