A new-to-Texas drive-through restaurant called Angie’s wants to challenge consumer expectations of fast food. According to founders Tony and Roushan Christofellis, customers can buy “luxury” food without getting out of their cars.
Build-your-own bowls start at $6.99, and steak and shrimp cost extra. Customers who are proteinmaxxing might be lured by the “2x”, “3x” or “4x” protein add-ons.
The restaurant also sells warm and chilled lobster rolls starting at $15.99. Salads start at $4.99.
Other options include cheeseburgers, burritos and rice bowls. The all-in-one restaurant carries the new name Angie’s: The New Fast Food. Some of the menu items were previously sold under separate brands Angie’s Burger, Angie’s Chicken, Angie’s Lobster and Angie’s Prime Grill.
At Angie’s, the founders seek to “disrupt” mainstream ideas of fast-food, they said. How? The company controls parts of the supply chain to keep costs lower. As an example, the Angie’s team operates a trucking company that moves supplies across the country to its 24 restaurants, Tony Christofellis said.
The family plans to open at least four more Angie’s in Dallas-Fort Worth. For now, the company’s largest concentration of restaurants is in Arizona.
“We believe D-FW has the potential to become one of our largest markets over time,” Tony Christofellis said.
Angie’s is at 2823 Eldorado Parkway, Little Elm, and 701 W. 15th St., Plano.
