Pleasant Run Rd., where it will serve burgers, fries, and a unique lemonade bar serving fresh-squeezed lemonade in a variety of flavors.<\/p>\n<p>Burgerlicious is from husband-and-wife Gerald and Vernetta Person, and the Lancaster location will be the second Burgerlicious, following an inaugural location they opened in Lewisville in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;re planning on opening the new location at the end of September.<\/p>\n<p>Burgerlicious started out in 2018 as a food truck, with a menu of gourmet burgers, lemonades, and loaded fries. In 2021, they relocated the concept to Lewisville where they opened a brick-and-mortar in a former pizzeria at 1565 W. Main St. #210. Customers could enjoy not only the food but also the couple&#8217;s infectious charm and hospitality.<\/p>\n<p>They do burgers in eight varieties, including classic cheeseburger, bacon burger, mushroom burger, and a patty melt on Texas toast, ranging from $9 to $10.<\/p>\n<p>Their big kahuna is the king burger with bacon, grilled onions, cheddar &amp; American cheese, lettuce, ketchup, on a brioche bun. They also do a turkey burger and a veggie burger. Plus fun starters such as spicy fried pickles and onion rings.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The turkey burgers have been a big hit for us,&#8221; Vernetta says. &#8220;They&#8217;re moist and nicely seasoned. We do our own in-house sauces and create our own seasonings.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But their standout is the &#8220;lemonade bar&#8221; starring fresh-squeezed lemonade made with fresh squeezed lemon juice, sugar, and filtered water, which can be ordered as is or in a stunning array of flavors:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ee-ul\">\n<li>&#8220;Pink Drank&#8221; with watermelon &amp; strawberry<\/li>\n<li>Cotton candy lemonade<\/li>\n<li>Blue raspberry lemonade<\/li>\n<li>Purple Haze wild grape lemonade<\/li>\n<li>Pina colada pineapple lemonade<\/li>\n<li>tropical lemonade with pomegranate &amp; pineapple<\/li>\n<li>blood orange lemonade<\/li>\n<li>mango lemonade<\/li>\n<li>peach lemonade<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Harricane&#8221; Lemonade with lime, orange, and passion fruit puree<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s something that sets us apart,&#8221; Vernetta says. &#8220;First of all, it&#8217;s fresh squeezed. And then to be able to get it in different flavors, it&#8217;s rare. I wanted to offer something different from the usual milkshake.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The two have complimentary skills, Gerald says. &#8220;I&#8217;m from Dallas and Vernetta is from Chicago,&#8221; he says. &#8220;I married into this but I bring a business mindset.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While Lewisville has seating for about 50 people, the Lancaster location will be entirely to-go. Lancaster reached out to them but the idea of expansion had come up since they&#8217;d been fielding requests from Dallas customers who wanted them close by.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A lot of people would ask when were we ever going to come to Dallas \u2014 that drive to Lewisville is a hike,&#8221; Gerald says.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A mom-and-pop burger joint with loaded fries is coming to Lancaster: Called Burgerlicious, it&#8217;s opening at 3216 W.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":237088,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5135],"tags":[5229,1596,35927,358,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-237087","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-dallas","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-dallas","10":"tag-state-fair","11":"tag-texas","12":"tag-tx","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-united-states-of-america","15":"tag-unitedstates","16":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","17":"tag-us","18":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115226967477690075","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/237087","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=237087"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/237087\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/237088"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=237087"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=237087"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=237087"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
