What is the weight of a single patty at In-N-Out before cooking?

A single In-N-Out patty weighs 2 ounces before cooking. That figure refers to the raw beef portion, not the weight of the finished patty after grilling, when moisture and fat loss can make it lighter.

In-N-Out’s standard hamburger and cheeseburger each use one patty, while the Double-Double uses two patties and two slices of cheese. Customers can also order unofficial menu combinations such as a 3×3 or 4×4, which add more two-ounce patties rather than changing the size of each one.

The 2-ounce measurement is easy to confuse with the sandwich’s total weight or with the quarter-pound patties used by many competing burger chains. In-N-Out’s relatively small patties are part of its consistent, limited-menu format. The chain is also known for preparing its beef patties fresh rather than relying on frozen patties.
