No, there is currently no official In-N-Out Burger in Ohio as of early 2026.

Quick Scoop

If you search In-N-Out’s own location tools and up-to-date state-by-state lists, all of their restaurants are clustered in western and some southern states (like California, Nevada, Arizona, Texas, Colorado, Utah, Oregon, etc.), but Ohio is not on the list.

There are some similarly named or locally owned spots in Ohio (like “In & Out Restaurant” in Dayton), but they are not connected to the In-N-Out Burger chain you’re thinking of with Double-Doubles and Animal Style fries.

What people in Ohio say on forums

On Ohio and Cleveland forums, whenever someone asks “is there an In-N-Out in Ohio?”, locals consistently answer that there isn’t, and instead recommend regional burger places (like Swensons, B-Spot, The Rail, etc.) as alternatives. There was even a Cleveland thread joking about a supposed In-N- Out opening in Highland Heights, but commenters called it out as trolling and didn’t treat it as a real opening.

“It seems odd to place the first In-N-Out burger in Ohio.” – a skeptical commenter reacting to a rumor about an Ohio In-N-Out.

If you’re craving that In-N-Out vibe

You obviously won’t get the exact In-N-Out menu, but if you’re in Ohio and want a good burger “event” instead of just fast food, locals often point to:

  • Swensons (classic drive‑in style, very Ohio vibe).
  • B-Spot (chef-driven burgers, more sit‑down).
  • The Rail (Ohio-sourced ingredients, burgers plus sides).

These won’t do Animal Style, but they scratch a similar “this is better than basic fast food” itch. Bottom note: Information gathered from public forums or data available on the internet and portrayed here.
