Hat Creek Burger Restaurant.

Hat Creek Burger began with a food truck and a guy with a fierce passion for good burgers. So, restaurant design was a bit of a new endeavor when developing the brick-and-mortar locations in the Austin, Texas, area. But one thing was for sure, this burger chain put a family-friendly atmosphere at the forefront to complement their simple, tasty menu of American classics.

Hat Creek uses a variety of light fixtures in different shapes and sizes keeps the dining areas fresh and fun. A barn-inspired play yard happily sits outside of the restaurant (each of the locations has a unique jungle-gym structure). The play yards are welcomed by all—an after-dinner treat for kids and a welcomed respite for busy parents - Hat Creek serves beer, too!

Although the food led the way with this franchise, creating a family-friendly design and environment was always a priority, and has paid off.  Since opening their first brick-and-mortar location in 2011, Hat Creek has expanded from one to seven locations with two more on the way.
