A Two-Hands Burger
The California Favorite Lands In North Richland Hills.
Growing up, franchisee Maisha Bankhead always looked forward to dining at the Los Angeles Fatburger with her mother. After finding a spot at the bar and putting a few coins in the jukebox, she would revel in sinking her teeth into the namesake item.
“That was my favorite place to go,” Maisha says. “It was a piece of home I was missing.”
Now, the North Texas resident has brought the brand and its beloved comfort food items to the Lone Star State.
“We have been very excited to enter Texas for some time,” FAT Brands Chief Marketing Officer Thayer Wiederhorn says. “The sales results and feedback we have received thus far has been really positive. Maisha deserves all the success she is realizing.”
Fatburger & Buffalo’s Express North Richland opened in June, ready to introduce the concept to local burger enthusiasts. The interior still holds that nostalgic spirit thanks to its window seating options and overall ambiance.
“It’s still a throwback inside to an old school hamburger stand,” Maisha says. “I love that our saying is that we are America's last great burger stand.”
That old school nature doesn’t stop with the interior. Fatburger built a cult following thanks to its made to order burgers featuring 100% lean ground beef patties, the works and sponge-dough bun. First-timers should try the original, the medium burger made with a ⅓ pound patty, to get a feel for its flavor profile. For those a little more daring, the large ( ½ pound patty) and the XXL (one pound patty), provide a hearty upgrade. Those up to the challenge, the XXXL challenge, can dive into the 1.5 pound patty burger for a chance to have your picture taken and placed on the wall of fame.
The co-branded store also offers bone-in and boneless wings as well as 12 sauces, not to mention both its 100% real ice cream milkshakes and vegan shakes. Plus with freshly made sides like fries and homemade onion rings, it’s safe to say you aren’t leaving hungry.
“We cannot seem to keep them prepped,” Maisha says.
So grab your crew and enjoy a classic Americana experience over burgers, fat fries and shakes. Beloved family memories await.
