Colorado residents waited up to 14 hours to get their hands on n-out-burgers and fries after two locations in the state were opened by the California chain on Friday.
The line – and consequently traffic – got so out of hand that the local Rora Police Department, on Twitter, urged people to support other local eateries and hit the in-the-out burgers the next day.
However, those who stayed in line were treated to at least one dust-up, in which two N-out customers got out of their cars and fought hand-to-hand while waiting.

An hour later, police reported that the line was already causing traffic delays in the area.
The Aurora Police Department tweeted at 10.40pm, ‘It’s official, the traffic is a double double animal style around the mall.
‘We are helping to manage the huge traffic response. Be patient and kind. If the traffic is too busy for you, maybe support another local meal plan today and get in-and-out the next day. ‘
A few minutes later, police tweeted: ‘Speaking of the local Aurora restaurant, who needs a business, let’s make some suggestions for everyone! Who is your hometown? For those who decide to take bail on the long lines, let’s help with some alternative ideas for lunch today! ‘

Friday morning saw customers waiting in long train lines, waiting for Colorado Springs to get to the in-and-out location.
At the Colorado Springs in-and-out location, customers can be seen standing in line from a distance, where the real restaurant doors are.
Social media users were quick to joke about long lines and how fast food would be at their n-out venues in nearby states while waiting on the 14-hour line.
The wait seems to have had no effect on the line of this tweet, however, the police tweeted at around 2.23pm that ‘IN-n-Out burgers wait two hours now I repeat two hours. The impact of traffic in the area around the mall is still significantly affected. ‘
Police continued to say that the restaurant ‘would probably close before you reached the window. Meanwhile many other local eateries do not have a wait sign. ‘
At 4.0.05am, police updated the waiting time to 14 hours. They also estimated that the line was twice wrapped around the location of the mall and resulted in backups on some nearby highways.
The line to buy the cult’s favorite burger was about 1.5 to two miles long, police said.
At 33.33 pm, the police released their ‘final update’ on the fast food line.
“Today will be the last car service that has been marked and will be served at approximately 2:00,” police tweeted, adding: “We expect continued traffic in the coming days so please use alternative routes.” , Maybe you’ll find another great local restaurant to support. ‘
Posted in Rest Restaurant Rent The closing time on Friday was to be 1.30am.
Sometime during the afternoon, prospective in-and-out patrons were seen participating in a wild fight during their wait in a viral video.
People were captured on camera punching each other and knocking to the ground, swinging against each other until others pulled them.
It is unclear what caused the fight, a breach in the queue or some other issue set it up.
Fast food fights are not uncommon, especially when new or limited edition foods are included.
In November 2019, a similar fight turned fatal at Popeye on Oxon Hill in Maryland, when two patrons argued for a clear line-cutting move while waiting to order a restaurant’s popular chicken sandwich.
A 28-year-old man was stabbed to death during the incident.
In-N-Out Mania Colorado Springs was found to be a little more domineering than any other new Colorado location in the chain.
However, the line was also said to be long – patrons told Fox 21 they would drive an hour to get to the location or get off the line at am – it turned out to be a more controllable matter.
The Colorado Springs Gazette reported that thousands of in-and-out fans were on hand when the venue opened on Friday morning.
Customers waited about 90 minutes before getting their food in the morning, but as the day progressed the wait increased to about four hours, with more than a mile spent on property development on nearby highways.
First-in-line Ken Vizini, who moved from Southern California to Colorado, where in-n-outs abound, told the newspaper he parked in the restaurant’s drive-through lane at 8.30pm on Tuesday night – and the restaurant stayed there until Friday. Opened in the morning.
Although not expected to open until 10 a.m., it began serving customers by drive at 8.45 p.m.
Vizini – who ordered cheeseburgers, fries and vanilla milkshakes – said it was worth the long wait because ‘I always wanted to be able to say I was the first by an out-of-state in Colorado.’
The epic lines in both places caused a lot of jokes, with people pointing out that it would be quicker to get to places in neighboring states – or even to California – than to be served in Colorado places.
In-and-out officials said they have 10 other restaurant sites in mind in Colorado and expect to open dozens of locations over the next five years.
The two Colorado locations are the latest to open out of the California home state of the chain. As part of its growing eastward expansion, in-and-out locations have opened in Nevada, Arizona, Oregon, Texas and Utah.
