Texas (Restaurant News Release) Huckleberry’s Breakfast & Lunch® is bringing more “Southern Cookin’ with a California Twist!”® to the Lone Star State with two new units in Dallas-Fort Worth and an entry into Austin.
A new franchise team, led by restaurateurs Samy Kilaru and Madhu Nalamati, will introduce the beloved bayou-inspired concept to the fast-growing Texas communities of McKinney and Allen. This expansion builds on strong early success with the brand’s three existing restaurants in the Metroplex.
“The enthusiastic response to Huckleberry’s from our guests in DFW has been energizing, to say the least,” said Greg Graber, CEO of Heritage Restaurant Brands®. “Their positive reviews and encouraging comments make us even more excited to continue growing this concept throughout the state.”
Known for its immersive atmosphere, Huckleberry’s delivers a one-of-a-kind dining experience complete with Zydeco music, Southern charm and a front-porch feel that makes every guest feel right at home. The menu highlights bold, comforting flavors inspired by New Orleans, with favorites such as Mardi Gras Beignets, Fried Green Tomatoes, Stacked Chicken and Waffles and Huckleberry Stuffed French Toast.
Additionally, Huckleberry’s has signed their first unit in Cedar Park/Round Rock, marking a significant milestone as the brand enters greater Austin for the first time.
“Huckleberry’s is more than a brunch restaurant, it’s a daytime escape from the ordinary,” said Graber. “The moment you walk in, you’re transported to the Louisiana bayou. We can’t wait to introduce that experience to our guests in Austin – they are going to love it!”
As Huckleberry’s continues its steady growth across the U.S., the brand remains focused on partnering with community-driven operators who share its commitment to great food and genuine hospitality. Open daily from 7am to 3pm, each location’s owners and team members are given the opportunity to be home for dinner every night – a dining model that promotes work/life balance and resonates with franchisees.
Site selection for all new restaurants will begin immediately. Before long, folks across the Lone Star State will have new go-to spots to kick back, sip some Swamp Tea and enjoy a little taste of the bayou.
