Back after 3 years: In-N-Out Burger returns in low-key Alabang ‘promotional event’ on Oct. 21

In-N-Out Burger is quietly returning to the Philippines tomorrow with a low-key pop-up at Neil’s Kitchen, Westgate, Filinvest City, Alabang, running from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Oct 21, 2025.

The California-based burger chain kept its comeback under wraps, using a print ads, including in the Philippine Daily Inquirer newspaper, and a few social media mentions from Filinvest City and Neil’s Kitchen instead of a full-blown digital campaign.

Despite the understated rollout, excitement has been building among longtime fans eager to try its Double-Double, Animal Style, and Protein Style burgers once again. 

It’s the brand’s first Philippine appearance since its 2022 appearance in Bonifacio Global City, and true to its minimalist tradition, In-N-Out is letting nostalgia and word-of-mouth do the marketing. 

Observers speculate that In-N-Out’s overseas pop-ups help the company maintain its trademarks abroad while quietly gauging international demand.

 Founded in 1948 and still family-owned, In-N-Out has grown to over 400 locations across the Western and Southwestern United States, with pop-ups occasionally staged abroad.
