First Things First, What Is An In N’ Out Burger Restaurant?

So for all those people not fortunate to grow up on the West Coast and know what we’re talking about. In-N-Out Burger is an American fast food chain founded in 1948.

The burger chain is primarily located in the southwestern United States, with locations in California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, and Texas.

What Is In-N-Out Burgers Company Slogan?

The company’s slogan is “Quality You Can Taste ®.” And in my opinion, they definitely live up to that promise!

In-N-Out Burgers Are Super Delicious!

In-N-Out Burger is well-known for its delicious burgers, fries, and shakes.

The In-N-Out menu is pretty simple, but that’s part of what makes the chain so special. They only serve hamburgers, cheeseburgers, french fries, shakes, soft drinks, and hot coffee.

Even though their restaurant menu is rather simple, they also have a secret menu that allows for many customizations for you to order.

The Secret Menu Is Where It’s At

But even though the menu is simple, the food is definitely not! The beef for the burgers is fresh and never frozen, the french fries are hand-cut and cooked in 100% vegetable oil, and the shakes are made with real ice cream.

In-N-Out Burger Customer Satisfaction

All of this attention to detail makes for some seriously delicious food that keeps customers satisfied and coming back for more.

Now that we’ve answered the question “what is an In-N-Out Burger restaurant?”, let’s move on to the next step: creating your own DIY In-N-Out Burger Halloween costume!

Process For Making Your DIY In-N-Out Burger Halloween Costume

Best Halloween Costume Step One: The first thing you will need to do is make a decision. Decide if you are going to have a custom name tag made like the In-N-Out workers have, make your own custom iron-on name badge, or print out a custom name badge with a printer on heavy cardstock.

For this DIY Halloween costume build, we decided to have a custom iron-on name badge made. Then we ironed it onto the white dress shirt. We only used the white toddler dress shirt for this costume only.

Best Halloween Costume Step Two: You’re going to need to acquire an In-N-Out paper worker hat or make your own paper hat. You can also simply get a red baseball hat and use that as your cap.

For our son’s In-N-Out Halloween costume we visited our local In-N-Out and asked them if we could purchase a paper hat, but to our surprise, they were super nice and just gave us the hat!

Best Halloween Costume Step Three: This step is optional but we went ahead and purchased a genuine red restaurant tray from the In-N-Out website. You don’t need to do this for your In-N-Out Halloween costume but we did it for our son’s.

Best Halloween Costume Step Four: The next thing you will need for this Halloween costume is to make the red apron. We purchased some bulk red fabric from the craft store and a large close pin like the ones the

In-N-Out employees use it for their work uniform.

Simply wrap the red apron around your child’s waist and pin it in the back using the close pin.

Best Halloween Costume Step Five: The final step is to have your child get dressed in their costume and have lots of fun!
