Acclaimed smashburger restaurant Burger Schmurger is expanding to a second Dallas location, at the intersection of Preston Road and Forest Lane, near Preston Hollow.
According to a release, it will open in spring 2027. An exact address and opening date are still to come, a spokesperson says.
The expansion comes as a result of customer demand, says founder Dave Culwell. Since the first restaurant debuted in East Dallas in 2025, guests have flocked from all over the Metroplex, he says.
"East Dallas took a chance on a guy smashing burgers in his backyard, and the support has never let up," he says in the release. "When we kept seeing the same faces drive in from the Preston Hollow area week after week, we knew we owed it to them to get a little closer. We’re so grateful, and we can’t wait to be their neighbors, too.”
Burger Schmurger, which had earned oodles of acclaim as a pop-up for its smash burger style of burgers, moved into a permanent home at 718 N Buckner Blvd., the space previously occupied by Bar None, in 2025. It earned a fast following and much acclaim, including a nomination for Best New Restaurant in the 2026 CultureMap Tastemaker Awards.
