Burger masters Shake Shack open new Houston location in Town & Country
Shake Shack is coming to Town & Country Village
Shake Shack may have suffered a setback in Houston last year, but the New York-based burger restaurant remains bullish on the Bayou City.
The company will open its newest outpost this Wednesday, March 19 in Town & Country Village. Located at 700 Town and Country Blvd Suite 2400, the restaurant will be open daily from 11 am until 11 pm.
Founded by legendary New York restaurateur Danny Meyer, Shake Shack is known for its signature Shack Burger, which is a cheeseburger that's cooked on a griddle, topped with both the signature ShackSauce and vegetables, and served on a potato bun. A vegetarian mushroom burger and fried chicken sandwich are also available. Fries, shakes, and frozen custards round out the experience.
The restaurant made its Houston debut in 2016 with a store in the Galleria. A store in Montrose followed in 2018. However, both locations closed last year as two of nine underperforming outposts in California, Ohio, and Texas. At the time, the company said the closures did not affect its plans to open new locations in the markets, which leads to the Town & Country restaurant.
The Town & Country Shack joins siblings in Rice Village and The Woodlands. Shake Shack also operates drive-thru locations in Webster, Katy, and Sugar Land. Overall, Texas is home to 26 Shake Shacks.
Town & Country will celebrate its grand opening with free tote bags for “the first wave of guests,” according to a release. Muralist Eric Junker designed the image that appears on the bags. In addition, the restaurant will donate $1 from every sandwich sold to United Way of Greater Houston.
Town & Country's restaurant options have been steadily improving. Relish Restaurant opened its second location there in December. Last month, Austin-based Ramen Tatsu-ya announced that its second Houston-area store would also open in the area.
