You’ve probably seen the big sign at the northeast corner of Forest and Inwood. Liberty Burger is set to officially open Nov. 7. The concept comes from Mariel Street and her two older brothers – the offspring of Dallas restauranteur Gene Street who started Black Eyed Pea, Cantina Laredo and Good Eats to name a few.
“Our sign is up,” Mariel says. “You can see it from Louisiana.”
Liberty Burger is a fast-casual yet upscale restaurant where the meat is never frozen. Burgers are made from ground beef, bison, turkey, vegetable or lamb. There’s also chicken sandwiches.
The menu also includes bottled beer, milkshakes, handmade pies and other burger-joint staples – but all with a gourmet twist.
Mariel decided to follow in her father’s footsteps after she returned from the Peace Corps. This is the first and only Liberty Burger location so far.
“It’s the first of many, we hope.”
