In‑N-Out Burger Throws Open Its Doors at Irvine’s Great Park Neighborhoods

Friday afternoon, a familiar scent of sizzling burgers drifted through the streets of Irvine, announcing that the latest In‑NOut Burger has officially opened its doors in Orange County. The restaurant sits inside The Canopy, a 12‑acre shopping center that’s part of the burgeoning Great Park Neighborhoods development.

Inside, the dining room can accommodate 84 guests, and an adjoining patio offers room for another 36 people—perfect for those who like to eat al‑fresco when the weather’s nice. The drive‑through, according to city staff, is built to handle up to 33 vehicles at a time, which should keep the line moving even during the lunch rush.

When the ribbon was cut, about 70 In‑NOut team members were already on the floor, each earning a starting wage of $22 per hour. Management hinted that more hiring will continue over the next few months, so anyone in the area looking for a steady paycheck might want to keep an eye on the job boards.

The address, for those who want to swing by, is 7900 Great Park Boulevard. And while the menu remains the classic In‑NOut lineup—double‑double, animal‑style fries, fresh‑cut shakes—locals can now enjoy it without a long drive to the nearest existing outlet.

It’s a small but noticeable addition to the neighborhood, adding another gathering spot for families, students, and anyone craving that unmistakable West Coast flavor. As the community settles into this new routine, the buzz on social media already hints at packed lunchtime crowds and happy customers.
