FAT Brands Inc. is opening its first Fatburger and Buffalo’s Express location in Dallas, in the Preston Hollow Village development, in the former Dugg Burger space next to the fabulous Modern Market at 7949 Walnut Hill Ln. #120, Dallas.

Recognized as a Hollywood-favorite, Fatburger is known for its cooked-to-order burgers, which can be customized with signature toppings including bacon, eggs, chili and onion rings.

A perfect complement to Fatburger, Buffalo’s Express’ menu includes delicious bone-in and boneless chicken wings accompanied by a range of mouthwatering sauces.

“Texas continues to be a high-growth market for Fatburger and Buffalo’s Express,” says Jake Berchtold, COO of FAT Brands’ Fast Casual Division. “The Dallas opening is a testament to the strong demand we have seen across the market, and showcases the recipe for success we have created with our fresh, made-to-order menu coupled with an energetic, welcoming dining environment.”

Originally founded in Los Angeles in 1952, Fatburger is from hospitality parent company FAT Brands, which features 17 hospitality concepts including the old-school burger restaurant Johnny Rockets.

Fatburger founder Lovie Yancey was a trailblazer in the realm of toppings transforming a burger into a meal, beyond the usual lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles, with toppings such as bacon, eggs, chili, jalapenos, and onion rings.

In addition to burgers, Fatburger's menu also includes Fat and Skinny Fries, sweet potato fries, onion rings, Impossible Burgers, turkey burgers, crispy chicken sandwiches, and hand-scooped milkshakes made from real ice cream.

Their burgers are considered more "homemade" and less chain-y than California's In 'N' Out Burger, and over the years, it's been a favorite destination in Hollywood for celebrities and athletes.

Buffalo's Express is a fast-casual chicken wing chain that was founded in 1985 in Roswell, Georgia. It's currently co-branded with 72 Fatburger restaurants.

The Buffalo's Express menu adds bone-in and boneless wings, accompanied by celery, carrots, and blue cheese, ranch or honey mustard dressing, plus a range of original sauces.

Fatburger first debuted in DFW in North Richland Hills in 2020 with a combined Buffalo Express. That has since closed, as has the location that opened at Firewheel Center in Garland in 2022. There are currently three DFW brick-and-mortar locations in Arlington, Allen, and Sanger.

The new Fatburger and Buffalo’s Express is located at Preston Hollow Village. A grand opening celebration will be held on November 22 at 10:30 am, when the first 100 customers will receive a free fatburger. Guests can also score free fries with any purchase through the day.
