Noted Burger Pop-Up to Debut Permanent Home

According to recent reporting in Eater , noted pop-up Bad Larry Burger Club will be opening Bad Larry’s in the Holly neighborhood at 2027 East Cesar Chavez Street “sometime in early 2025.”

Bad Larry founder and owner Matthew Bolick tells Eater the restaurant will be like “Waffle House run through the Larry filter,” with some “cheffy touches.”

The upcoming establishment will serve the pop-up’s “iconic smash burger, plus other dishes like the Breakfast Larry, an egg sandwich with a patty served on an English muffin. There are plans to make house bread for Texas toasts and the such. There will be a to-be-announced chef team.”

As it had with its pop-up iteration, Bad Larry the restaurant will host concerts, DJ sets, and parties beginning with its multi-day music/food festival Weekend at Larry’s at the upcoming East Cesar Chavez address formerly home to Upscale Market.

Eater adds that Bolick is opening Bad Larry’s with Austin’s Open Road Hospitality, run by Nathan Hill and Jeremy Murray, Lauren Dickens, interior design studio KKDW, and Busty’s general manager Heather Muir.

No opening date has been set.
