Updated: Hotline Burger 2 Still Not Open

Update, Jan.1, 2024: They're finally open!

When last I wrote about Hotline Burger's new store in Sharpstown, it was about how they still had not opened. 

Their new location at 8880 Bellaire Blvd Suite P, Houston, Bellaire Gessner Shopping Center is still dormant, but there is hope that it will yet open. Maybe before Halloween?

"Hotline Burger 2" has faced a number of obstacles over the past half year. Back in April, Hotline Burger's people told me they planned to open their new store on Bellaire Blvd "this summer." We're a couple of weeks into Fall now and the Bellaire Blvd. location has yet to open.

I spoke with sole owner Phil by phone today (10/04/23). He was very polite. He sounded genuinely optimistic and said he hopes to open the new store in "two to three weeks." 

UPDATE, 29 October: 25 days later, the new store is still not open.

But why the delays?

Over the past six months, he said, he's faced issues with the water line, installation of some of the signage, two major water leaks (including the fire suppression system), and making a full gas kitchen where there was none before (the ice cream stand before it only used electric heaters for hot dogs). 

Hurry up Phil, Sharpstown is eager for you to open! Our mouths are watering from the photos of your incredible burgers! In the meantime, you can enjoy Hotline Burger at their (currently) only store at 1585 Hwy 6, Houston, TX 77077.
