In the days leading up to the opening of the new Orange restaurant, FREEBIRDS and its charitable arm, FREEBIRDS World Works with its mission to inspire team members and guests to give back to the community, will conduct the following pre-opening events that are open to the public:

- Saturday, February 26, 2011: FREEBIRDS will partner with will Friendly Center from 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. and again at 5:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.  The first 250 guests during each time slot will enjoy complimentary food and drinks in exchange for a $5 donation to the Friendly Center organization.

- Sunday, February 27, 2011: FREEBIRDS will partner with the H.O.P.E. campaign from 11:00 a.m. -1:00 p.m. and again at 5:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.  The first 250 guests during each time slot will enjoy complimentary food and drinks in exchange for a $5 donation to support the efforts of the H.O.P.E. campaign, Helping Other People Everywhere.

FREEBIRDS is about awesome burritos and freedom of choice.  As guests join the queue, they are partnered with a team member, known as a "Roller," who helps them choose from four sizes of burrito made from four possible flavors of tortilla then hand-rolled with the guest's personal selection from more than forty freshly prepared ingredients including grass fed beef, hormone-free chicken, or all natural pork carnitas topped with hand-cut veggies and hot peppers plus house made salsas, queso and guacamole to create their perfect burrito.  Burritos range in size from the generously-sized Hybird for $4.69 to the legendary Super Monster which can weigh-in at seven pounds. 

Each FREEBIRDS restaurant features the concept's signature Statue of Liberty – affectionately known as 'Libby' – riding a custom-built motorcycle while breaking through the Freedom Wall. Libby was designed to serve as a reminder that each of us can break through walls and truly change the world.  The restaurant has a free-spirited ambience with a rockin' soundtrack, reminiscent of a late-'60s rock 'n' roll roadhouse. 

Local resident and restaurant veteran, Dean Allen will manage the new FREEBIRDS restaurant which will employ approximately 75 team members from the local community.  The new FREEBIRDS restaurant is located at Tustin and Katella at 1632 Katella Avenue, Orange, California.  The restaurant can be reached directly at 714.628.0651. Hours are Monday through Thursday 11:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., Friday and Saturday 11:00 a.m. – 10:30 p.m., and Sunday 11:00 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.  FREEBIRDS offers online ordering and full service catering (feeding 10 – 10,000).
