A gamble for sure. There are plenty of <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dallasobserver.com\/best-of-dallas\/2025\/food-and-drink\/best-seafood-23281209\/\">great seafood options<\/a> in Dallas, but often with a high price tag. <\/p>\n<p>But a new restaurant concept, Angie\u2019s, opening in Plano, wants to change how we view the accessibility of seafood and high-quality ingredients.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.angies.com\/\">Angie\u2019s<\/a> is a collection of four \u201cdisruptive\u201d restaurant concepts that want to make luxury foods available to everyone by redefining what\u2019s possible in the fast food space. There\u2019s Angie\u2019s Lobster, Angie\u2019s Prime Grill, Angie\u2019s Burger and Angie\u2019s Chicken; all united by a streamlined and integrated business model, founders Tony and Roushan Christofellis say.<\/p>\n<p>We can\u2019t lie, a $9.99 lobster roll sounds like a disaster at first, until we read about <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.angies.com\/business-model\">Angie\u2019s business model<\/a> that makes prices like that accessible.<\/p>\n<p>The founders built their business from the ground up and took advantage of being in control of their entire supply chain. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur culture is about reducing non-mission critical costs to invest in what matters most: our food and our people,\u201d said co-founder Tony Christofellis.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Angie\u2019s company owns \u201ca wharf on Bailey Island, Maine, a 63,000 square-foot processing facility in Richmond, Maine, a distribution center with beverage and sauce processing facility in Phoenix, Arizona, an antibiotic-free chicken processing facility in Chandler, Arizona and its own trucking fleet,\u201d per the release.<\/p>\n<p>Every middleman is eliminated so they can focus on food quality. Ordering is done through a self-service kiosk. Self-service drink stations are inside. Because the in-house processes are so streamlined, they require fewer employees during working hours. Their workers are allegedly paid the highest wages in the drive-thru industry for their market.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" height=\"585\" width=\"1024\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Angies-Lobster-Maine-Lobster-Roll-Chilled-9.99-Warm-11.99-.png\" alt=\"A $9.99 lobster roll from Angie's\" class=\"wp-image-40606137\"  \/>Angie\u2019s menu includes a $9.99 lobster roll. <\/p>\n<p>Two New Concepts<\/p>\n<p>Angie\u2019s Lobster was the first concept to launch in 2022, in honor of Tony Christofellis\u2019 late mother, Angela (Angie).
