In-N-Out Sweetens Tennessee Deal With Cheaper Burgers

In-N-Out Burger's historic expansion into Tennessee has introduced minor but notable menu variations. As of June 2026, Tennessee boasts four In-N-Out locations, with a fifth planned and an Eastern territory office under construction in Franklin. This marks the chain's first venture east of Texas since its 1948 founding.

Customers in Tennessee benefit from lower prices on popular items. The signature Double-Double costs $5.70 in Tennessee, 65 cents less than its $6.35 price in California. Other items like cheeseburgers, hamburgers, shakes, and fries are also cheaper, with only milk and coffee maintaining identical prices across states.

A key menu distinction is the addition of Sweet Iced Tea in Tennessee, a popular Southern beverage not found on the standard California menu. While calorie counts for drinks may differ due to the inclusion of ice on California menus, the core offerings remain largely consistent with the brand's tradition.

In-N-Out currently operates over 400 locations in eight Western and Southwestern states, plus Tennessee, with plans for 35 restaurants in the state and a move into New Mexico. The chain's commitment to not using microwaves or freezers restricts expansion to areas within proximity of its beef patty-making plants, influencing its pace and direction of growth. Despite this, In-N-Out is also set to join a dining complex in Irvine, California's Great Park project.
