Southwest Austin residents will soon be able to see inside of the new Dan's Hamburgers location on Manchaca Road.
At press time, owner and President Katie Congdon said the site is slated to open in late January or early February, but a date was not finalized.
In September, Dan's closed the Manchaca Road location that opened in 1985 and spent about $1 million to build the new 4,500-square-foot restaurant in its place, Congdon said.
"We wanted to become more energy-efficient and [Americans with Disabilities Act]-compliant, to be more efficient with storage, and better utilize our kitchen and dining area," she said.
The new space is about 800 square feet larger, she said, noting the company added on to the existing foundation. Dan's added a drive-thru, a mezzanine for storage and a retro diner aesthetic including a breakfast counter and barstools, Congdon said.
"We're going to pick up where we left off," she said. "Same great food, same great service and just a nicer, newer building."
