Austin-based Hopdoddy Burger Bar will soon have a new, fourth location under construction and it will be at West Houston multi-use shopping complex CITYCENTRE. The craft burger restaurant is expected to open there early next fall.

“The city of Houston has been so welcoming to Hopdoddy and we are thrilled to join the thriving CITYCENTRE development. CITYCENTRE is one of Houston’s top dining destinations and hubs for entertainment, so it is an ideal place for us to expand our presence in this lively city,” said Hopdoddy Burger Bar CEO, Jeff Chandler via press release.

The “prime” location (so to speak) will be across from Sweet Paris and close to Hotel Sorella. It is designed to be a sizable 4,001 square feet and will sport a patio, too.

Hopdoddy Burger Bar is known not only for a variety of burgers (including sushi-grade tuna and chicken varieties) made with meat ground in-house but for its monthly burger and shake specials as well. For example, the company recently rolled out a seasonal Chocolate Mint Shake and occasionally offers over-the-top burgers like the pepper-laden Love At First Sting and a turducken-inspired riff at Thanksgiving time. Other Houston Hopdoddy locations are at 142 Vintage Park in far northwest Houston, 4444 Westheimer in the River Oaks District shopping center and Rice Village at 5510 Morningside.
