They were anything but in and out.
Burger lovers were so desperate to try Idaho’s first In-N-Out they waited up to eight hours in line — with some even camping out overnight.
The excitement for the California-based chain’s celebrated patties, fries, and shakes was so intense that hundreds were already waiting for the drive-thru when it opened in Meridian on Tuesday at 9 a.m., much earlier than typical hours, the Idaho Statesman reported.
The demand meant it was anything but fast food — with signs soon warning those joining the massive line to expect seven- to eight-hour waits, the outlet said.
Some customers even decorated their cars for the festive occasion.

I can make a better burger....Hands down.
It is not worth that sort of wait, but it is worth a wait.
I think they all just love the idea of it and want to claim to be an early customer.
In California, folks regularly camp out in front of fast food restaurants.
So overrated.
They make a good burger, not worth that kind of wait. In-N- Out hire very nice, courteous workers. As a family we love the atmosphere.
I tried In/out burger here in Colorado. I was not impressed!
Word of advice also: never eat at a new restaurant during that first 30 day period. Let them learn on someone else.
People here waited that long when the first Krispy Kreme Donut shop opened in the area
Had to be 20 years ago
They all disappeared a couple years ago.
Same happened when the first In-N-Out came to the DFW area.
Nope. Decent food, but not worth any long wait.
“So overrated.”
No other has such clean-cut, dedicated, hard-working employees. Worth the visit just to watch them slice the potatoes.
When’s lunch being served? I’ll bring chips.
You're both in Oklahoma, where they don't have In n Out. Have you actually ever eaten there?
Most of those people are probably already dead from eating too many donuts.
I like certain restaurants’ burgers, but under regular life conditions, none of them would make me wait 8 hours for one.
I’ve never understood that kind of thing. We had that here when the first In and Out showed up. And the first Chickfila. Drive thru stacked up for at least an hour for months. Like dudes, once you spend an hour in line it ain’t fastfood anymore. And I’m not spending an hour waiting for food anywhere that doesn’t make good martinis.
I get the lettuce-wrapped burgers.
In-N-Out and Culver’s are 2 very good fast food burgers. I very rarely eat any fast food.
