    Bun B's Trill Burgers coming to 2 Houston suburbs in 2025

    Bun B and his partners are bringing Houston two more locations of Trill Burgers. The smash hit smash burger restaurant will open two additional locations in 2025.

    • Missouri City: Fort Bend Town Center II
    • Spring: 6810 Louetta Rd (former Dairy Queen)

    "We are excited to announce new Trill Burgers locations in Spring and Missouri City, coming in 2025. We appreciate the continued support from the community and look forward to bringing Trill to the north and southwest sides of Houston," the company said in a statement.

    First introduced at the 2021 CultureMap Tastemaker Awards, Trill Burgers grew its popularity with pop-ups and by serving as a vendor at events such as the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo and the Coachella Festival. It opened its first brick and mortar location in June 2023 in a former James Coney Island on S. Shepherd Dr. It also has stands at NRG Stadium, Shell Energy Stadium, and TDECU Stadium at the University of Houston.

    The restaurant achieved immediate success, drawing long lines of Houstonians as well as celebrities such as Drake, Mike Tyson, and Texans legend Andre Johnson.

    Available as either a beef or vegan patty, Trill Burgers serves a classic smash burger that’s topped with cheese, pickles, onions, and Trill sauce, a tangy, Thousand Island-style dressing that ties it all together. The combination has been a hit, earning a prize on Good Morning America even before the restaurant opened.

    That success has not been without controversy. Former Trill Burgers partners Patsy and Benson Vivares sued the company’s partners — Bun B, restaurateur Andy Nguyen, and publicist Nick Scurfield — alleging they’d be unfairly removed from the business. The case has recently been moved from Harris Country to Federal court. Trill Burgers denies the allegations.

    Drop it like it's hot

    Pickleball isn’t going anywhere — the racquet sport continues to score with Houstonians. The newest player on the city’s crowded court, Drop Shots HTX, stands out for one big reason: it’s entirely indoors.

    Drop Shots HTX celebrates its grand opening this Saturday, June 21.

    Opening June 21, Drop Shots HTX is the brainchild of hospitality veterans Roveen Abante (Conservatory Galleria, Duchess), Chase Lovullo (Conservatory Galleria), and Shawn Outlaw.

    “We didn’t just want to open a bar,” co-founder Roveen Abante said in a statement. “We built a space where people connect, whether they’re playing or not. There’s something for everyone here.”

    Drop Shots HTX is marking its grand opening on June 21 from 12-11 pm, offering all-day open play for $5 along with $5 food and drink specials. Live DJs and giveaways will add to the experience.

    Patrons can soak up the A/C while slapping balls across one of the six professional-grade indoor courts. Off the court, guests can engage in friendly competitions of skee-ball, ping pong, arcade basketball, and cornhole in the second-floor lounge. Nine screens make up one wall in the mezzanine, ideal for catching the latest game, or can be expanded into one 195-inch television.

    Clutch City Kitchen will keep the players' appetite at bay with pizzas, sandwiches, and acai bowls. For hydration, an indoor/outdoor full bar will have 10 signature pickleball-themed cocktails, mocktails, and fresh juices crafted from local fruits and veggies.

    “Some venues lean into serious competition, we lean into fun,” added co-founder Shawn Outlaw. “We’re the only indoor pickleball facility inside the Loop with a full bar, kitchen, lounge, and patio. But more than that, we’re the only one that feels like your new favorite neighborhood hangout, even if you never touch a paddle.”

    Events like Glow-in-the-Dark Fridays, Tacos and Tequila Saturdays, and Pancakes and Pickball mornings add a twist to the typical pickleball match. Bring the kids—the venue is family-friendly until 10pm.

    “We created Drop Shots HTX because we fell in love with a game that brings generations together,” Outlaw said. “From our 10-year-olds to our 65-year-old parents, pickleball is for everyone. And so is this space.”

    Drop Shots HTX is located at 2520 Airline Drive, Building A, Suite 100. It’s open Monday through Thursday from 12-11pm, Friday from 12 pm-12 am, and Saturday and Sunday from 11 am-11 pm.
