Bobby’s Burgers by Bobby Flay is Coming to Chicagoland

Bobby’s Burgers, the burger concept from world-renowned chef Bobby Flay, has announced it is about to enter the Chicago market for the first time.

Well Done Hospitality Group, from Jonas Falk and Justin Rolls, recently signed a multi-unit agreement to bring the restaurant to the windy city while debuting Bobby’s Burgers’ first traditional, streetside restaurant model, according to the QSR Magazine. The openings will bring an approachable Bobby Flay dining experience while maintaining a menu curated using only the highest quality ingredients. The restaurant group will focus on developing traditional restaurant settings in urban and suburban neighborhoods, airports, military bases, and casinos. 

“I’m thrilled to announce that Bobby’s Burgers is expanding to the Chicago area. I’ve been a fan of the Chicago food scene for decades, and I’ve watched it grow into one of the most influential cities in the world when it comes to its culinary offerings,” Flay said in the announcement. “I’m looking forward to bringing my fast-casual concept to different Chicago neighborhoods and becoming part of such an impactful community. I’m committed to delivering burger lovers our unique hand-crafted menu that we consider the best in its category and can’t wait for the restaurants to open and serve those in Chicago for many years to come.”

Bobby’s Burgers is a fast-growing concept with five locations in New Jersey, Nevada, and New York. The brand is seeking seasoned multi-unit franchise operators to open the concept in crucial markets like Charlotte, Las Vegas, Denver, Phoenix, Dallas, Houston, Philadelphia, Salt Lake City, and Atlanta. When the new Chicago locations open, customers can expect delicious menu items hand-crafted by Flay himself, offered in a quick and convenient format at a reasonable price point.

“Bobby Flay has always been a hero of mine, so it’s such a unique opportunity to be able to serve menu items that he has conceptualized and created in an approachable platform for our guests,” says Falk. “First and foremost, the food is simply amazing— from the savory burgers and sides, to the spoon-bending milkshakes, there are a variety of unique flavors infused in every bite. In addition to this, we knew that the QSR and fast casual restaurant format would be a home run in the Chicago market.
