In-N-Out Burger’s Tennessee Debut Sparks Long Wait Times

UPDATE: In-N-Out Burger’s recent arrival in Tennessee is causing significant buzz, with long wait times reported just two weeks after its launch. The popular fast-food chain opened three new locations in Antioch, Lebanon, and Murfreesboro on December 1 and December 3, and the excitement shows no signs of slowing down.

The newly launched Wait App, which tracks drive-thru and walk-in wait times, reveals that as of 11:30 a.m. CST on December 22, customers are facing drive-thru waits of **27-36 minutes** and walk-in waits of **23-44 minutes**. These figures are significantly higher than typical wait times reported in other regions, where **10-15 minutes** are more common.

The Wait App, developed by an anonymous creator and not officially linked to In-N-Out, uses crowdsourced data to provide real-time updates on wait times at the new locations. The app has attracted attention as customers flock to experience the famed burger chain, which now boasts a total of **431 locations** across **10 states**, including its recent expansion into Tennessee.

In-N-Out’s Chief Operating Officer, Denny Warnick, expressed enthusiasm over the warm reception in Tennessee, stating,

“Christmas came early”

The surge in interest is not limited to Tennessee residents. Fans from nearby states are actively discussing the potential for future locations on social media, hoping to bring the iconic chain closer to their communities.
