The Burger Bar is coming to the lakeside community of Lago Vista, according to a recent filing with the State of Texas. The restaurant will be located at 7708 Lohman Ford Rd. E 202, near eateries such as J&J BBQ and American Girl Grill.
The Burger Bar will be owned and operated by Hannah and Drew Mioton, a husband and wife team who founded the succesful local sandwich shop Lakeside Subs, also in Lago Vista.
“Out in Lago there’s not any restaurants that are really doing everything as a craft kitchen,” co-owner Drew Mioton tells What Now Austin. “We’ll be making everything in-house in our scratch kitchen.”
When asked for a culinary profile of the restaurant, Mr. Mioton says “We’ll be doing smash-style burgers, which have become more and more popular over the last five years. We’ll have around 12-14 burgers on our menu.”
And what can readers expect from the dining space?
“We have seating for 96 inside and are looking at a patio space that could seat around 40, but that wouldn’t be open until the summer.”
And the ambience?
“We’ll be having a sports bar-type atmosphere. In our area, the most TVs in any location have been around three or four, so we’ll be able to hone in on the sports bar concept.”
As the Miotons await permitting and construction to conclude, they hope for an April 2023 opening.
Will they have gluten free bread?
“Little Northern Bakehouse” is a good choice.
“Schär” is also good.
