First-in-Texas restaurant Burger 21 now open in Frisco

Florida-based Burger 21 has landed in Texas -- Frisco, to be exact.

Burger 21 is named for its 21 menu options.

It isn't all beef burgers; the menu breaks out each type of burger, such as chicken, turkey, veggie and seafood burgers. Staples include a barbecue bacon burger with onion strings, a buffalo chicken burger with ranch dressing and the OMG!: a double-stacked beef burger with bacon, cheese and lettuce, tomato and onion.

Customers will also find hot dogs, chicken tenders and sundaes on the menu. See the menu here.

On the 21st of each month, the fast-casual restaurant plans to sell a special burger and shake. Some of the specials might be a fried pickle burger -- which comes with fried pickles and sweet potato fries on the burger -- or a patty melt.

Eventually, Burger 21 owners Wade and Parisa Googe hope to open restaurants in the Colony and McKinney.

Burger 21 joins a bustling burger market in Dallas-Fort Worth. There are the fast-casual burger joints that have been in North Texas for years, such as Twisted Root, Village Burger Bar, Liberty Burger, Maple & Motor, Keller's Drive-In and Snuffer's. But 2015 was also a big year for new North Texas burger joints:

If you look on our burgers map, Frisco doesn't have near as many burger joints as other cities do. That's why the Googe family, who lives in North Frisco, chose their own neighborhood to open Texas' first Burger 21.

"We knew this area represented a great opportunity for Burger 21 based on the explosion of growth in the area," says Wade Googe in a statement.

5757 Main Street, Suite 100, Frisco. Expected to open Jan. 11. Hours will be 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday; 11 a.m. to midnight Friday and Saturday. burger21.com/locations/frisco.
