A beloved burger joint is reopening in Southlake. Johnny B’s Burgers and Shakes is back! The eatery, currently open but with limited hours during its soft opening, is under new ownership but still offers their iconic dishes.
“We are flattered that everyone is excited,” Naresh Worlikar with Johnny B's says.
The menu is almost an exact replica of their previous selection, so guests can expect to enjoy quality burgers, hot dogs and shakes. Johnny B's also added a few new options, like the Beyond Burger patty.
“We are literally using the same recipes and are just elevating the proteins,” Naresh says. “The most important thing to me is quality. When you bite into that burger, you are going to know that’s fresh beef.”
Johnny B’s originally opened in 2004 and closed in 2018, after its owner John Finlayson stated that he was ready to retire. Now, he’s back and working with the new ownership to ensure locals are still receiving the same experience.
“He acts as our consultant and will be involved on the operations end,” Naresh says. “I want him to be our spokesperson. This is a family business and we want to maintain that.”
A grand opening celebration is tentatively scheduled for September, but the burger joint is currently open for a few hours a day.
