Fans of both burger chains often discover that it’s possible to create an In-N-Out-inspired burger experience at Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers. While there is no official menu item called the “Freddy’s In-N-Out Style Double Double,” Freddy’s offers a burger that comes remarkably close.
The secret? Start with the California Style Double.
According to Freddy’s menu, the California Style Double includes two steakburger patties, cheese, onion, Thousand Island dressing, lettuce, and tomato on a toasted bun.
Many burger fans consider this Freddy’s closest equivalent to an In-N-Out Double-Double because of the similar ingredients and West Coast-inspired flavor profile.
What Is the Freddy’s In-N-Out Style Burger?
The idea isn’t to copy another chain exactly. Instead, it’s about recreating the flavors that people enjoy in a classic California-style burger:
- Two beef patties
- American cheese
- Lettuce
- Tomato
- Onion
- Thousand Island-style sauce
- Toasted bun
Conveniently, Freddy’s California Style Double already includes nearly all of these ingredients.
