Yet Another Burger Chain is Expanding into This Texas City

Who’s hungry? A Portland, Oregon-based burger chain that made its Texas debut in San Antonio is now firing up its latest restaurant in Texas’ capital city.

More than a decade after the business’ founding in 2010, Killer Burger entered the Texas burger market via its inaugural restaurant on San Antonio’s Far Westside in October 2024. At the time, then-CEO John Dikos said the Alamo City location marked a “milestone” for the company amid its efforts to expand beyond the Pacific Northwest. Since, Killer Burger added a secondary location in San Antonio’s Brooks City Base in 2025, bringing the company up to 25 restaurants.

Now, Killer Burger is set to indoctrinate Austinites to its offerings, with the first Austin restaurant planned at 3500 E. Parmer Lane, Suites 12130 and 12135, Austin, TX 78754. Killer Burger is poised to kick off construction on the Austin site in February ahead of a July completion date, according to a project filing registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation on Wednesday, January 14.

The nearly 3,000-square-foot restaurant comes with an estimated $300,000 budget for suite renovations and alterations, with the project described as an “interior tenant build-out…in an existing building” to accommodate Killer Burger.

Hungry for more details on the chain? Killer Burger serves burgers in three different sizes — the pint, original and double — and offers specialty pairings, including a peanut butter pickle bacon burger, a spin on the Philly Cheesesteak and the “Jose Mendoza,” comprising a burger topped with bacon, roasted green chiles, Monterey Jack cheese, house sauce, pickles and grilled onions. Other menu items included chicken sandwiches and tenders, hot honey chicken, meatless veggie patties and the “Bomb It” secret sauce.
