Biscuit Bar Shuts Down All Dallas Restaurants
The Biscuit Bar, a popular restaurant chain in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, has shut down all its locations. This closure affects six restaurants, including five in the Dallas area and one in Abilene, Texas. Owners Jake and Janie Burkett announced that the closures are effective immediately due to unforeseen business challenges.
Closure Details
All Biscuit Bar locations have been closed, including:
- Deep Ellum, at The Epic – 2550 Pacific Ave, Dallas
- Plano, at The Boardwalk in Granite Park – 5880 TX-121 #102B
- Arlington, at Champions Park – 1707 N. Collins St.
- Fort Worth Stockyards, at Mule Alley – 122 E. Exchange Ave.
- Coppell, at 104 S Denton Tap Rd #102
Reasons for the Closure
The Burketts cited several reasons for the decision to close. Rising costs, supply chain instability, and an increasingly difficult commercial climate contributed to their struggles. They stated that these pressures were too much for a small business to sustain.
History of The Biscuit Bar
The Biscuit Bar opened its first location in April 2018 and quickly expanded its footprint the following year. The chain gained popularity for its innovative menu, which included a variety of biscuit sandwiches, tots, and an impressive drinks selection featuring cocktails and local craft beers.
Popular Menu Items
One of their standout offerings was The Hoss, a savory sandwich with Southern fried chicken, bacon, Jack cheese, sausage gravy, and honey butter. The chain distinguished itself with unique, made-in-house biscuit sandwiches and customizable tater tots.
Financial Challenges and Attempts at Recovery
In early 2025, The Biscuit Bar entered Chapter 11 bankruptcy with hopes to rebuild. They announced a potential acquisition by a restaurant group that seemed promising. But a few key financial stakeholders disagreed with the terms, making the sale unfeasible.
Community Support
The Burketts expressed their regret over the closures and have launched a GoFundMe campaign to support their staff. They appealed to their loyal customers to contribute to the campaign, sharing memories of meals shared at The Biscuit Bar.
Their heartfelt message highlights the impact the restaurant had on the community. They ask anyone who enjoyed their offerings to consider supporting the fundraising effort to aid their employees during this challenging time.
