I've listed this article for peer review because I have just completed a major rewrite to clean it up. I need someone else to take a look at it and point out what I have missed. Also, I wish for a reviewer to take a look at the classification and see if it qualifies as a B-class article.

Thanks, Jeremy ( Blah blah...) 00:33, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

• My main comment is that I don't think it was necessary to split this out from the main In-N-Out Burger article, which at 23k is far from huge. I think this could be merged back into the Menu section. However I will continue to review the content that is here.
• In the first sentence, "only provided" should be "provided only".
• If this is to remain as a separate article, the lead should be expanded per WP:LEAD. Although the article is relatively short, I don't think two sentences is enough. Try to add at least a couple more sentences, maybe summarizing the types of food served.
• "which similar to Thousand Island dressing" should be "which is similar to Thousand Island dressing"
• "The company' customization" should be "The company's customization"
• Generally, I think you need to add more in-line citations. The "Beverages" section for example does not have any specific references.

This was just a quick read through, but I hope some of this was useful. --Jameboy (talk) 20:27, 19 August 2008 (UTC

Thank you for pointing those out, I will fix them ASAP. The article size was significantly largere before a recent copy edit that removed tons of redundant data and cruft. I use the term cruft very sporadically at best and when I do it is only because there is no better term. The article was a mess before. --Jeremy ( Blah blah...) 21:16, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

• The menu, as interesting as it is, probably doesn't need its own article.
• The section "Menu items" starts off with an explanation of why In-N-Out is a regional chain, which is jarring. It should start with an introduction to the menu. Even better, since the entire article is about the menu, eliminate the section and move it to the intro.
• The transition from the subsection "The Secret Menu" to the section "Burgers" is also jarring. On first reading, I interpreted the "Burgers" section as "Secret burgers". To improve this, either eliminate the "Menu items" section, or reorganize "Burgers", "French fries", and "Beverages" into "Regular menu items" and "Secret menu items".
• The " - " generally stands in for the em dash, which you can enter by typing "—".
• Variable substitution as in "m x c" is probably too complicated a concept for an article about burger products. Maybe just say that the patty goes first and the cheese goes second.
• The least understandable sentence in the article is "In-N-Out uses the Kennebec strain of potato for its fries and prepares them in store as opposed to purchasing them pre-made from companies such as McCain Foods, one of the primary manufacturer of french fries for the fast food industry". Break the ideas up into at least two sentences.
