Houston’s burger scene gains a new contender as Portland-based Killer Burger officially opened its first Houston location in Sawyer Heights on May 6, 2026. This launch signals a larger push into Texas as the fast-growing chain accelerates expansion across the state. This is the company’s latest milestone, following its entry into Texas with the successful opening of a burger restaurant in San Antonio in 2024. The Houston location is the restaurant’s third Texas location.
Founded in Portland in 2010, Killer Burger has built a strong following in the Pacific Northwest by emphasizing indulgent, flavor-heavy burgers with bold toppings and oversized options. Its menu ranges from classic bacon cheeseburgers to more creative combinations like the Peanut Butter Pickle Bacon Burger, a creation that has helped the chain stand out in a crowded burger market.

Killer Burger’s new Houston restaurant features a roughly 2,500-square-foot space, inviting customers to experience something bold and different. Choose between three different burger sizes: a pint, an original, or a double.
The Classic is the ultimate burger with bacon, crisp lettuce, juicy tomato, and melty cheese stacked to perfection. The Bender is smoky, spicy, crunchy, and bold, filled with spicy BBQ, crispy jalapeño, house sauce, grilled onion, and cheddar. There is more to choose from, including chicken burgers like the crispy chicken and the BLT chicken, both of which come in original or spicy. Customers can also customize burgers, and gluten-free options are available.
