San Antonio, Texas – Portland-based burger chain Killer Burger has announced the opening of its second location in San Antonio, which took place on August 4, 2025. The new restaurant is situated in the Brooks neighborhood at 7511 S. New Braunfels Ave. #105, marking a significant expansion for the brand within the region.
The expansion comes on the heels of the success that the chain experienced with its first San Antonio outlet, which opened in November 2024 at 12834 Potranco Rd. This rapid growth highlights the brand’s favorable reception among local burger enthusiasts and the burgeoning dining scene in San Antonio.
The new location is co-owned by founder Thomas “TJ” Southard and Natasha Fogel, who is noted as the first woman franchisee for Killer Burger. Fogel has had a long association with the brand, engaging as a recipe tester prior to her current ownership role, and her connection to Killer Burger spans nearly two decades. The venture into Texas is described as a full circle moment for her.
Killer Burger is distinguished by its unique approach to the traditional burger. The menu features an array of inventive culinary creations, which include options such as a peanut butter-pickle-bacon burger, generously topped with mayo and the chain’s special house sauce. In addition to their burgers, customers can also enjoy crispy chicken sandwiches and tenders. Side items are intentionally concise, offering thick-cut fries alongside a selection of seven dipping sauces. Sweet options for dessert include a chocolate chunk cookie and a rice cereal treat flavored with brown butter and sea salt.
The new restaurant has been designed with a kitchen format that aims to enhance efficiency, maximizing throughput and the speed of service while maintaining an economical operation. This strategic development reflects the brand’s commitment to customer satisfaction and operational effectiveness.
As interest in San Antonio’s dining scene continues to grow, Killer Burger’s expansion into this vibrant marketplace underscores a significant trend in the local burger market. As consumers seek out distinct flavors and dining experiences, establishments like Killer Burger that offer unique and bold flavor profiles are well-positioned to capture a loyal customer base.
The artwork featured within the new location includes a mural that pays homage to Fogel’s contributions to the brand, celebrating her journey from recipe tester to franchise owner. The appeal of Killer Burger, coupled with Fogel’s community-oriented approach, positions the chain to thrive amid increasing competition and a dynamic culinary landscape.
With the opening of its second location, Killer Burger continues its mission to deliver quality food and a memorable dining experience, reinforcing its status as a must-visit establishment for burger lovers in San Antonio.
